Despite being prevented from leaving China, Ai Weiwei manages to maintain a healthy international career. If one were to judge by news media attention alone, one might think him the only Chinese contemporary artist in existence. His most innovative work has been through various forms of social media, in what might be called a continuing digital version of performance art. (A book of his blog posts, published in 2011, remains his magnum opus.)
尽管艾未未被禁止离开中国，但他还是保持了健康发展的国际事业。如果单从媒体关注的角度看，人们可能会觉得他是现存唯一的中国当代艺术家。他最有创意的作品是通过各种形式的社交媒体呈现，可以被称为一种不间断的数码形式的行为艺术（2011年出版的一本关于他的博客帖子的书仍是他的代表作）。But he also makes objects and installations, and about 30 examples of these are included in "Ai Weiwei: According to What?," a traveling retrospective organized by the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. It appeared at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington last year and arrives at the Brooklyn Museum on Friday.
但是他也制作物品和装置作品，其中大约30件作品被收入东京的森美术馆(Mori Art Museum)组织的流动回顾展“艾未未：凭什么？”(Ai Weiwei: According to What?)。该展览去年在华盛顿的赫什霍恩博物馆和雕塑园举行，周五来到布鲁克林博物馆。
The Brooklyn show is reported to be an expanded version of the original, which is appropriate for an artist who, as if in direct response to political suppression, is irrepressibly productive. (Through Aug. 10, 200 Eastern Parkway, at Prospect Park; 718-638-5000, .)
据报道，布鲁克林的展览是最初展览的扩展版，这很适合这位创作力无法遏制的艺术家，仿佛是对政治迫害的直接回应（展览将持续到8月10日；展望公园东路200号；718-638-5000；）。
