I am happy to have donated 4 works for the White Box Spring Benefit 2012,  the 1st Richard J. Massey Foundation/White Box Arts and Humanity Award.

The set of images was made using dried pigments on paper activated by the footprints of Chinese children immigrants.  The imprints left behind are a record of freedom and play as well as the creation of original works of art.

White Box invited internationally renowned artist Iván Navarro to create a unique artwork to be presented to Ai Weiwei in conjunction with a monetary award. Award presenters : Jerome A. Cohen, Eleanor Heartney and Richard J. Massey. At 9pm, Ai Weiwei appeared LIVE via Skype to accept the award and make a statement.
