At his Beijing studio, internationally heralded conceptual artist and dissident Ai Weiwei oversees an expert staff busily executing his ideas ahead of an upcoming show at the Tate Modern, a colony of cats freely roams the grounds (one, marvels Ai, can even open doors) and a bulky surveillance camera squats conspicuously atop a nearby pole—impatient to remind the tenants the state is watching. The battle between the Chinese government and Ai, a savvy devotee of Twitter and online activism, acquires many forms and shades. Alison Klayman's camera captures an impressive range of them in this persuasive firsthand portrait, which doubles as a rousing snapshot of the New China. Beginning in 2009, Klayman finds Ai and associates mounting an internet campaign to collect the names of thousands of young victims of shoddy "tofu dregs" schoolhouses otherwise kept anonymous by an intractable government after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake—a campaign inspiring Ai's powerful outdoor installation at an exhibition in Germany. Klayman describes an inextricable tie between art, conscience and political action, not only for Ai but for a restive public, as pressure builds among the alternately impassive and violent deputies of the state. That pressure will give way alarmingly. But much like the cat he admires, Ai has it in him to open doors—with no inclination to close them again behind him.
