TEA FOR AI WEIWEI

A circle of jasmine tea, poured on the concrete in front of the Chinese Embassy in Berlin, was the symbolic act of protest against the detention of Ai Weiwei by a group of artists last weekend. It was reminiscent of Weiwei’s 2009 “Tea House” installation, a small tribute to the artist who remains under arrest. It joins the petition for his release initiated by MOMA, the Tate, the Guggenheim and other institutions in building a response by the art community.
