A Chinese artist will bring 1,001 of his compatriots to Germany to spend months wandering around the city of Kassel as live-exhibits for his entry to a leading modern art show.

Ai WeiWei's "Fairytale" artwork will cost 3.1 million euros ($4.14 million), the most expensive project of this year's "documenta" exhibition, a spokesman for the event said.

The live-exhibits will have no set program or commitments during their stay although they will be encouraged to visit the city's sights, interact with locals and ponder other, more static "documenta" exhibits.

The show, which runs from June 16 to September 23, is one of the world's most important modern art exhibitions. It was first held in 1955 and runs every five years.

Among those Chinese exhibits coming to Kassel, about 300 km (180 miles) west of Berlin, are teachers, farmers, students, police officers, engineers and pensioners.


The event artist, 49, attracted his live-exhibits through a post on his blog. Within three days 3,000 people applied and 1,001 picked.


The participants, who will arrive during the course of the exhibition in batches of 200, will stay overnight in a converted factory and be filmed for a documentary the artist is making. Ai plans to cook for his performers during their stay.
