Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's highly anticipated takeover of the San Francisco Bay's Alcatraz Island opens to the public on Saturday. The exhibition, @Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz, is a joint project between For-Site Foundation, the National Park Service, and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. As ARCHITECT reported in June, the exhibition will open up the former prison's hospital, New Industries Building, and A Block section of the cellhouse, which are typically closed to visitors.
