The Kemper Art Museum will open three special exhibits as well as additional galleries for the museum’s permanent collection, Feb. 7.

Ai Weiwei’s “Human Flow” is a meditation on misery that is a challenge, privilege and responsibility to watch. The film focuses on the journeys of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) as they move from temporary location to temporary location, and provides both close-ups of individual situations and detached shots filmed using drones.

The Kemper Art Museum celebrated reopening its doors with a special exhibition by contemporary Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei Sept. 28.

Artist, activist, master of the readymade style and political exile of his own country, Ai Weiwei is one of the best-known figures of the modern art world. His new exhibition at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, titled “Bare Life,” is divided into two sections: “Bare Life” and “Rupture”.
