Tim Hetherington, Chris Hondros , Ai Wei Wei , and justice for and all the artists forgoten by the Wester Interests .
Tim Hetherington, Chris Hondros , Ai Wei Wei , and justice for and all the artists forgoten by the Wester Interests .
While the defensors or the institutional art look and talk exclusively about Ai We Wei’s cause for political, economic and personal interests…. artists have being killed and arrested all over the world everyday for decades.
Let’s be sincere , now they only talked about Tim Hetherington because he was English and Oscar nominated ( the Anglo-Hegemony always have priority, Ai wei wei, even being Chinese always defended these same cultural Anglo- American values to please the Western Richs and critics ) … ………….even so it is some progress. Let’s see if it is going to make people talk more about this ….. or if the “Voices of the art world and the free world” will still keep only defending their own interests.
Chris Hondros :
here I keep the same test I wrote for Tim Hetherington . I want to see Ai We Wei free and unspoilted, I want to see justice for all.
I MEAN FOR ALL !!! NOT ONLY FOR THE ONES THAT DEFEND THE INTEREST OF THE RICHS OF THE WESTERN COUNTRIES.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Listen, all the time I defend my view , defensor of the free world from USA and Europe come to argue with me. It seens they only defend democracy if you have exactaly the same opinion.
Not saying that i am from Brazil…. i DO have experience with artists being arrested and people of my own family only for defending democracy. It isn’t a theory to me . It isn’t a noble ideal as it is for easily manipulated art critics and people of the art world in general . It is real.

Cyber Attacks on Change.org
Dear Christine,
The petition demanding the release of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has nearly 100,000 signatures.
Here's how we know it's really gotten Beijing’s attention: For the past four days, the Change.org website has been repeatedly targeted by cyber attacks coming from China that aim to bring our site down, which would keep people from signing the petition.
Our engineers are working around the clock to fend off the attacks and, for now, the petition is still up.
We need to let the Chinese government know that illegal tactics from within its borders won't stop the mounting pressure on them to release Weiwei. If you haven't already, please click here to share the petition on Facebook to keep spreading the word.
To recap: Acclaimed dissident artist Ai Weiwei -- who helped design the famed “Bird’s Nest” stadium for China’s Olympics -- was arrested on April 3rd by Chinese security forces at the Beijing airport. His office and studio have been ransacked, and no one has heard from him since.
The international art community banded together, demanding his release -- and the directors of more than twenty leading museums (including the Tate Modern, Museum of Modern Art, and the Guggenheim) started a petition on Change.org that has garnered worldwide attention, including in the New York Times, LA Times, and Guardian.
The campaign has helped to give rise to an international outcry. Political leaders around the world are calling for Weiwei's release and activists have organized peaceful protests at Chinese embassies and consulates.
Though China is desperate to silence its critics, the pressure to free Weiwei continues to grow. You can help by asking five friends to sign the petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/call-for-the-release-of-ai-weiwei
Autocratic governments know that the internet is a democratizing force, and they'll do everything they can to suppress online activism. Know that we stand with you for change, and that we will continue to fight to make sure your voice can be heard.
- Patrick and the Change.org team
P.S. Due to these repeated attacks, our site may be slower than usual or unavailable at times over the next few days. Thanks for your patience.

Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt - Chinese Box Reveiw
Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt is one of those gypsies who do their stuff on the margin of what is hip even in a such "hip-immune" field as experimental music. His Friends of Sagittarius records as well as other platforms he manages revolve around a community of musicians of different styles and approaches.
One of his outlet is "accidental guitar" style which his own genuine approach to composition as well as intuitive improvisation.
Chinese Box hits the sky with its droney lo-fi cloud of intense and dreamy microspace. What I loved the most is that it goes straight to the point, not getting into the place where the musician depletes himself from the fresh ideas. A wholesome bit of music, rich, tasty and healing.
