Ai Weiwei Treadmill, by Maitre Panda on Jun 30, 2021 21:08:23 GMT 1, In early 2021, Ai designed a postcard printed with an image of a treadmill โ the object sent to the artist by Julian Assange in October 2016, when Assange was taking refuge in the Embassy of Ecuador in London. Ai's concept for the Treadmill project was to create a postcard that could be sent to prisoners of conscience globally.
This project should have been release on "The Great Big Art Exhibition" but they rejected the artwork. You can find a very interesting article about this situation hereThroughout the Mayfair art weekend, visitors were invited to collect a Treadmill postcard from Lisson's Cork Street gallery, to then send on to political prisoners. Does any one here went there and had collect one of the postcard?

Ai Weiwei Treadmill, by seventhsealed on Jul 1, 2021 19:47:51 GMT 1, This is an awesome project. I followed the Great Art Exhibition from launch and must say I agree with Weiwei on his thoughts regarding First Site. They used his name to promote the project and then didn't use his idea. Weak.
If anyone is in the area and able to get hold of a postcard or two for me to get involved it would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Ah. Just clocked the dates.

Ai Weiwei Treadmill, by pertikis on Aug 1, 2023 15:54:42 GMT 1, Does anyone know where these postcards can be found? The situation of Assange is extremely delicate and I think there may be some news soon. Hopefully good for him.
