Ai Weiwei's Art 'According to What?' is on Show at Perez Art Museum Miami

Internationally renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei recently opened his "According to What?" exhibition at the Perez Art Museum in Miami. Some of his highly symbolic works are from his personal memories, perhaps the most critical one being his "River Crabs" installation.

The exhibition runs from now through March 16, 2014. Check out the full coverage here.
