Ai Weiwei is the most famous artist in China, best known for his iconic "Bird's Nest" stadium that was the focal point of the Beijing Olympics.
Ai has always pushed the envelope, both with his internationally-acclaimed art and with his outspoken criticism of the Chinese government.
But these past weeks have brought Beijing's harshest crackdown on dissidents in more than a decade. And on April 3rd, government agents arrested Ai at the Beijing airport and seized papers and computers from his studio.
We don't know where Ai is now. The Chinese government is holding him on flimsy charges of "economic crimes" -- an allegation often used to silence dissenters.
The regime in Beijing has proven largely resistant to pressure from foreign governments. But they've made a huge push to raise China's profile in the arts -- the government just finished building the world's largest art museum. Widespread condemnation, led by the arts community, may be our best chance to save his life.
Please sign the petition to free Ai Weiwei as soon as possible:

and colleges here. One of these places - perhaps the finest one with lots of influential kids and strong corporate links is where the story took place. I happened to meet many graduates from here. They were apparently all bitchy, that was their common trait. Those whom I met while I worked, also had another quality, they just talked shit and didn't like to work at all.
. Therefore, for maximum inspiration and to produce the most creative piece of art, she asked the administration to accept hr request. I think she was granted the request. 
they showed some sick artist who became mad whenever he started painting and had this strangely wild desire to have sex. Don't know how much influence does being naked have on one's creativity and artistic capabilities but if I happen to know of two such people I am sure there will be others too around the world.
