\u00ab Conceived whilst Ai Weiwei was in detention. It commemorates his 2011 disappearance, and the ongoing harassment of friends + colleagues. @aiww was detained by plainclothes police officers at Beijing airport on 3 Apr 2011. He was hooded before being put in a car + driven to secret locations where he was held until his release on June 22.
\n<\/span>For a time \u2018two officers watched him round the clock, their faces often inches from his, even monitoring him as he slept and insisting he put his hands on top of the blanket. He was not allowed to speak and had to request permission to drink water and use the toilet. \u00ab\u00a0It was immense psychological pressure.\u00a0\u00bb When Ai told police their actions were illegal, officers replied: \u00ab\u00a0Do you know before Liu Shaoqi died, he was holding the constitution?<\/p>\n

\nThe WillowPattern was designed in Stoke on Trent in the early part of the 19th century. Loosely based on imported<\/span>\u00a0 Chinese porcelain with painted landscapes. All the figures in ‘A Willow For Ai Weiwei’ have been erased, alluding to the disappearing artist + his friends. Where Weiwei might have been can be seen as a white silhouette in the centre of the bridge as he drops a Han dynasty urn (reference to one of his earlier artworks).<\/span>\u00a0 Sunflower seeds, scattered around the platter allude to his installation in #TateModern 2010\/11. The back of the plate features the poster \u2018Who\u2019s afraid of Ai Weiwei\u2019 which appeared all over Hong Kong shortly after his detention. Listed are names of his friends + colleagues, several of whom remained in police custody. The Willow plate by an unknown factory, purchased on ebay in 2011 is probably nearly nearly 200 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n
