Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by surf101 on Nov 2, 2023 23:06:20 GMT 1, Are you the two people who didn't get one? I stated I didn’t get one 4 posts back but said I would have liked one. As it happens I didn’t even try to get one even when the link was on here. I thought £800 was a lot for a glass vase and even more so now that I see all the faults in a lot of them. Good luck with your sale. I mistakenly liked your quote and disagree with each of these four sentences. I feel your deep embitterment at having to settle for looking at other peoples photos.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by surf101 on Nov 2, 2023 23:14:46 GMT 1, I'd like these less if they were free of 'imperfections'. If it was a factory made vase, sure, complain (about what, i'm not sure, get a refund or sell for more lmao). But this is murano glass. I'm by no means a glass nor murano expert, but i'm fairly sure very little coming out of there is imperfectionless. 'I'm no murano expert, but' these things are amazing

You’ve got me. I have a penchant for glass vases and the dirtier & grubbier the better. These are perfect.

Yeah, these are great guys, you are all so cool. 👍 Definitely a centerpiece of an art collection.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Happy Shopper on Nov 14, 2023 20:52:28 GMT 1, Maybe I’m missing something, but is saying that Israel and the US are hugely financially linked a controversial thing to say? Isn’t he just paraphrasing the old speech Joe Biden gave (and been shared a lot in recent weeks), saying it’s money well spent, and if Israel didn’t exist they’d have to invent it !??

I might be saying a bit too much here. What I say is not important. The cancellation of an exhibition is not important at all because tens of thousands of exhibitions are still going on. Without exaggeration, as a person or an artist, I can live without ever doing another exhibition, and I can live without art as the space of expression, but I cannot live without free thinking and free speech. That would mean the end of life.”

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by pertikis on Nov 15, 2023 10:57:06 GMT 1, if I remember well, something had already happened with an exhibition in London two years ago, but in that case it was the artist who cancelled his presence, accusing the curators of having rejected one of his works on Assange

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by its all about me on Nov 15, 2023 12:56:09 GMT 1, Maybe I’m missing something, but is saying that Israel and the US are hugely financially linked a controversial thing to say? Isn’t he just paraphrasing the old speech Joe Biden gave (and been shared a lot in recent weeks), saying it’s money well spent, and if Israel didn’t exist they’d have to invent it !?? I think it's a bit more than that, to be honest. He said..."Financially, culturally, and in terms of media influence, the Jewish community has had a significant presence in the United States." That sounds to me like he is veering dangerously towards the standard anti-semitic trope of Jews ruling the world and holding the purse strings of major governments. The fact that he has since deleted the tweet suggest that perhaps he also thinks that it was an ill-advised thing to say. Sadly, in this troubled world we live in, words do have real life consequences.

Sadly, in this troubled world we live in, words do have real life consequences. I can see that probably being the issue, and conflating "Jews" with "Israel" is also a troubling thing these days. On the other hand, I'd say it's fair to say there is an Israeli influence on the US government, in the same way there is Guns and Oil influence. There's clearly groups they're going out of their way to keep on side. Either for votes, or some other complicated reasons... I think that's the basics of what Ai is getting at.
