For AWWs interaction with the government-
by Skypeing over the Internet, talk to foreigners he breaks the commitments he had to make.
In the very worst case, he might get executed as an exempel- I don’t believe they actually set him free without anypunishment if he really did break the law so severely as he wants to make most westeners believe.
What will happen after he got killed?
What is chinese law saying about his failures?
Oh dear,
why must it be me? I am very unfond of contemporary art in general and Ai Weiwei in particular. Yet, my mind is set on writing that thesis paper on his tea house (2009). Now I am in the midst of finding out what that transcultural chitchat actually means. I look forward to the day when I can respond in a sonorous voice to people talking in their pig latin about theories they did not grab as a whole, applying this gibberish on very ugly media-performed-cyberesque-intertrans-postgender-postcolonial-postmodern art…
Here I will collect several basic theoretical works on the structure behind contemporary art… (and how to deconstruct all the hot air around it!)
-bourdieu
-wu hung ruins, fragmenation and the chinese modern/postmodern google ebook
-david clarke contemporary asian art and the west
