Ai Weiwei<\/strong><\/em> hangs paper creatures at Le Bon March\u00e9<\/em> department store, transforming the space into an huge playground. The exibition is inspired in a collection of ancient chinese epic tales and popular legends, told by children for over 2.000 years. The artist selected some two dozen characters and mythological creatures to personify inside the space, adopting the ancient technique of traditional kites, which brings together the flexibility of bamboo and lightweight silk.<\/p>\n

\"Le<\/a><\/p>\n

The exibition at Bon March\u00e9\u00a0<\/em>in Paris is divided into three areas: windows, atrium and gallery.\u00a0The ten storefront display cases of le bon march\u00e9 are transformed into stages for mythological storytelling, offering a prelude to the pieces displayed inside the department store.<\/p>\n

The pieces presented in the paris department store<\/a><\/em><\/strong> extend the narratives presented in the storefront windows. The gallery is designed as a space where visitors can engage more intimately with the works. The site features a dragon made of woven bamboo, which has an architectural and dimensional quality that correlates to the interior columns of the gallery.<\/p>\n

The large scale bamboo and paper objects bring the original mythological forms to life.<\/p>\n
