thank you.

No thanks.

 It sounds too cultish.

getting people to post 20 photos with Ai cant be here message.

   Answer this question.

Is Ai Wei Wei in trouble for his art?

   His art made by assistants is promoted as being provocative to western viewers and people wrongly believe his art is the reason that he has had his passport taken away.

It isnt.

   This whole Ai promotion stuff looks to me like he is milking sympathy for his problems in China to promote himself and make money from his so called art in the west.

  His art isn't even any good.

 Here is another question for you.

If he did not owe the government tax why did he ask supporters to give him money to pay this huge tax bill?

  Here is another question.

 Whats the real reason his house was demolished?

 There are two sides to every coin and there are some things which are not revealed.

This article by Yoichi Shimatzu goes into some detail as to goings on in China.

""As the Shanghai case illustrates, Ai Weiwei is not only an artist, architect, filmmaker, curator, social critic and dissenter, he is also a low-end property developer with an apparently sloppy ledger book, rife with shady accounting practices. To some he’s a great artistic talent, but as a businessman he’s known for skirting the rules. His loosely administered property dealings have long raised eyebrows among academic artists and municipal officials in Beijing.

Now, as the hidden associations with Shanghai’s boss, who abused political power to evict thousands of residents from their homes, come out, the truth is blowing apart Ai Weiwei’s phony "anti-corruption" crusade. No wonder he keeps his fat mouth shut about the sordid details.

Readymade Rebel

Whatever his claims of political persecution, the fact is that Chinese authorities have shown nearly infinite latitude toward this artistic maverick and social rebel. Their muted acceptance of his barrage of insults illustrates how, at the gut level, the Chinese are more democratic than their ultra-polite and class-conscious peers in Japan, Thailand and India.



Across the entire continent, there is no artist who can come close to Ai Weiwei in outrageousness, as expressed in 2000 with a group exhibition that he co-curated titled "F–k Off". His publicity materials used all four letters. There are cities in America and Europe where you couldn’t get away with printing the offensive word on posters and flyers. Just imagine the reaction to such an arts event in Karachi or Riyadh. So freedom of expression in China is a lot safer than in many other parts of the world.""

There is no hate for Highly Frameable on here or for Ai Wei Wei.

  It's just that people don't like being manipulated so that Weiwei can continue to be attractive to western sponsors.

  Those Ai can't be here photos look like they are staged to me with actors posing.

If you want to promote and sell WeiWei art the do it and sell it by all means.

 Do you want this thread closed because you don't like free speech?
