回複：展覽未完，藝術品自由著，藝術家卻失去了自由......

艾未未在Tate的大型主題展由去年直到今年五月。藝術館方在4月4日罕有地發表了放人的呼籲：

Juliet Bingham, Curator, Tate Modern

"Ai Weiwei's Unilever Series commission, Sunflower Seeds, is a beautiful, poignant and thought-provoking sculpture. The thinking behind the work lies in far more than just the idea of walking on it. The precious nature of the material, the effort of production and the narrative and personal content create a powerful commentary on the human condition. Sunflower Seeds is a vast sculpture that visitors can contemplate at close range on Level 1 or look upon from the Turbine Hall bridge above. Each piece is a part of the whole, a commentary on the relationship between the individual and the masses. The work continues to pose challenging questions: What does it mean to be an individual in today's society? Are we insignificant or powerless unless we act together? What do our increasing desires, materialism and number mean for society, the environment and the future?"

Update: Monday 4 April 2011

We understand from news reports that the artist Ai Weiwei was arrested by the Chinese authorities yesterday as he tried to board a plane to Hong Kong. The artist remains uncontactable and his whereabouts are unknown. We are dismayed by developments that again threaten Weiwei's right to speak freely as an artist and hope that he will be released immediately.
