Ai Weiwei’s Good Fences Make Good Neighbors Tests the Limits of Humanity

It was a Thursday in Midtown, and the Chinese artist-activist Ai Weiwei was standing in front of a giant, golden cage as tall as a palm tree. "Gilded Cage," one aspect of Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, the artist's new public exhibition, is eponymous: an ornate golden coop festooned with turnstiles and an open ceiling, at once claustrophobic, contemplative, and breathtaking.
