Ai Weiwei’s detention by Chinese authorities has just passed the one month
mark. And today, two more big arts names have thrown their weight behind the
call for his release (and added their names to the Guggenheim’s human
rights petition): The Andy Warhol Foundation and the Robert Rauschenberg
Foundation.
艾未未被中国当局拘留已经超过一个月的界限。今天，两大著名艺术家基金会：The
Andy Warhol Foundation and the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation，加入了全球艺
术家要求释放艾未未的请愿。
The full joint statement, below:
完整的联合声明如下
WARHOL AND RAUSCHENBERG FOUNDATIONS CALL FOR THE RELEASE OF AI WEIWEI
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Robert
Rauschenberg Foundation join the global arts community in calling for the
release of artist Ai Weiwei. The detention of this visionary individual, and
the subsequent suppression of information concerning his whereabouts and
well being, is in direct conflict with those who work to create a more just,
enlightened society.
It is encouraging that artistic institutions large and small have moved
swiftly and with great compassion to turn their concern into action. Among
many others, New York’s Creative Time and the Philadelphia?based Slought
Foundation have both been exemplary in their activities, organizing public
events and promoting awareness through social media and diplomatic channels.
We also applaud the efforts of the International Council of Museums, the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the Tate Museum in London, and others who
have advocated for the humane treatment and release of Ai Weiwei. As
stalwart supporters of the rights of individual artists and free expression
in every form, our foundations are proud to add their names to the following
petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/call-for-the-release-of-ai-weiwei.
In our capacity as leaders of artist-centered foundations, our primary
concern is to ensure that artists everywhere are given the proper access and
support they need to remain critical, creative and have their voices heard.
As citizens of an interconnected, globalized world, we cannot remain silent
when others are being silenced. We urge everyone to become informed about
this case and remain attentive to threats to freedom of expression, wherever
they may occur. |
