  • I’d like to know what the removed comments said although I highly suspect that they were along the lines of saying something like this is a war crime blah blah blah. Yes I have seen Ukraine commit a few war crimes (mercy killings and such) but it pales in comparison to what the Armed forces of Russia have done. I’m too lazy to find a list but between beheadings, shooting down prisoners, torturing and shooting civilians, Mass graves…

    Ukraine is fighting with it’s hands tied while Russia is free to engage in any way it wants. Is this a “dirty” tactic? Yes but it’s necessary against such an enemy.





  • “Ai himself is known for smashing works as well. The exhibition’s curator Arturo Galansino noted that several works in the show document the destruction of a precious ceramic. The most famous of these is Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn (1995), a triptych of black-and-white photographs in which the artist holds and then drops a 2,000-year-old vessel. It is a commentary on China’s deliberate erasure of its cultural heritage.”

    Okay so this artist also destroys artifacts that are thousands of years old.

    “The destruction that Ai Weiwei depicts in his works is a warning against the violence and injustice perpetrated by those in power,” he said. “[It] has nothing to do with this reckless and senseless act carried out by a habitual troublemaker seeking attention by damaging artists, works, monuments, and institutions.”

    Imho there are other ways to prove that point.

    However it is despicable that his artwork was destroyed by a trouble maker and the perpetrator should be dealt with accordingly.
