London’s Somerset House could not have arranged a more contemporary public exhibition than the one on display since beginning of this week. Ai Weiwei’s work is being honoured as the first ever to go on display in the historic courtyard of the institution. It is also the first major outdoor public sculpture installation by the artist in London. The monumental installation comprises 12 bronze animal heads, re-creations of the traditional Chinese zodiac sculptures which once adorned the fountain of Yuanming Yuan, an imperial retreat in Beijing.
