the tree outside the chapel
inside the chapel are 45 chairs which have been set out in the nave in nine rows of five, set at a precise separation specified by Ai Weiwei. on the first Sunday of every month, there are readings of his father's poems. it sounds simple, but the effect is powerful: many of the chairs are museum pieces, but people are welcomed to sit on them and the spacing means that they are companionable but isolated.
