Bike:// Art:// Ai Weiwei's "Forever Bicycles" gets bigger for Toronto

Ai Weiwei's "Forever Bicycles" sculpture at the Toronto Nuit Blanche festival

In yet another example of the intersection of art and bicycles, Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei has brought his an upsized version of his "Forever Bicycles" sculpture to Toronto for the Nuit Blanche festival. This new piece is a bigger than his earlier "Forever Bicycles" sculpture which was exhibited at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum as part of the "Ai Weiwei absent" exhibit.The original only had 1,000 bikes while the Toronto piece features over 3,144 bikes. The piece strikes me as a nod to M.C. Escher what do you think? Leave a comment! Photo courtesy of Alex Meoko via Flickr (used with permission)
