36  AUSTINWAY.COM "In the current condition, I think art becomes more relevant because it tells the inner truth," artist Ai Weiwei tells Austin Way. Now on display where Waller Creek meets Lady Bird Lake, "Forever Bicycles" is part of a series he started in 2003 with iterations of bicycle sculptures exhibited in cities around the world, including London (top and left). A more subtle work is the other piece he has loaned to Austin, "Iron Tree Trunk," which was inspired by a Chinese tradition of displaying dried trunks and branches as aesthetic objects.
