In the exhibition A Few Works from Ai Wei Wei, various materials, such as wood, tea, metal, or dust, tell various stories.The video work Barely Something (2009) shows the names of 4851 schoolchildren who died in the earthquake in Sichuan (2008) in the ruins of their school buildings.Ai Wei Wei: "Even dust can tell a story… If in the future architecture should be more about human dignity and humanity, then we have to learn to interpret the traces in the ruins properly. Then we will learn why the architecture that we thought was secure and that was supposed to protect us from the calamities of nature collapsed within seconds and destroyed so many human lives."The exhibition, the artist's first solo show in Berlin, includes a total of 16 artworks from the years 1995 to 2009.

On October 12, 2010, the exhibition The Unilveer Series: Ai Weiwei will begin at London's Tate Modern. The artist will have further exhibitions at Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing – Lucerne, Switzerland, and Galerie Christine König, Vienna, Austria.
