Ai Wei Wei Charity Masks, by mrred11 on May 28, 2020 17:16:09 GMT 1, The middle finger mask is awesome. I picked one up. Shipping outside of the US is surely hurting sales. Once that is fixed I'm sure they will sell out quick!

It's a pitty they don't sell that as one set.

Ai Wei Wei Charity Masks, by arthoarder on May 28, 2020 18:26:38 GMT 1, Made in the artistโs studio in Berlin, each work is silk-screened by hand on cloth face masks. In addition, each package includes a signed artistโs statement.
I doubt hes hand signing 10k sheets so most likely printed sig but still cool to have something that was hand made in his studio for 50 bucks.

And it would be hard to frame/hang this up at home without feeling a smidgen of guilt.
What next, decorated Covid vaccine vials signed by the artist for ยฃ999 a pop, complete with Perspex stand for displaying at home?

These particular masks are not by technical standards considered โPPEโ as they are non medical grade nor respirator masks. They are intended to protect others from the wearer but not to offer โpersonal protectionโ from others. If that makes a difference.

That is a worthwhile distinction, but they still canโt protect others so long as they are stored under a flipperโs bed. I donโt know how many people buying these would actually wear them.

i canโt imagine anyone wearing them either. The finger in particular would send an odd message if worn... Just noting that this particular type of mask in not in short supply and would not be taking anything away from medical professionals. Nor would it be any more or less effective than anyone crafting a mask/covering from say a T-shirt or bed sheet. Doing my best to lessen any guilt.

Iโm getting all sorts of offers for designer masks through my FB feed, and I just read a piece recommending stylinโ masks, pricing around $20-$30. So not a stretch to wear a $50 mask. Iโve gone through this in NYC, meaningful idea for me. Like the charities involved. Like the politics. No brainer, no down side.

Anyways, Iโve been back and forth with them and this should clear up some questions:
The artist statement is print signed (bummer, but obvious)
And
If you paid the first mega expensive shipping, contact them on the email below and tell them youโre happy to wait for USPS to commence and they should refund the difference.
Beautiful little pieces, canโt wait to frame one up!

Bummer about the signature. Makes sense based on the amount but a bit misleading on the sales site. โEach edition includes a signed artists statementโ should say โprintedโ if not actually signed imo.
