Art appreciation post!

It’s been a while since we’ve post some artsy stuff because ccp related news have drowned us.

But it would be cool if you can check out Ai Weiwei’s art, especially with his latest documentary about Hong Kong protests.

Anw his work is really creative and interesting. One of my favourite fr!

The national security law’s crackdown on #freedomofspeech has descended upon M+ museum, a contemporary art museum the international art world has been setting its eyes on for years. Should the government censor works in the museum, it would not only be a huge loss for local and overseas audience, but would also be a blow to #HongKong’s claim as an international art hub. Why would any tourist come to #HK if it doesn’t have anything any big #Chinese cities can’t offer? Why would #ArtBasel hold its profitable fairs in HK if works may be retracted any minute merely by invoking a sham law? Yes, #CarrieLam, you’d better be careful with this one.

#HongKong M+ museum's works are slammed by pro-#CCP politicians for "inciting hatred", the museum has confirmed that #AiWeiwei's photograph of him raising a middle finger at #Tiananmen Square will not be on view when the museum finally opens its doors to public. With pleasing #Beijing the city's priority over everything else now, it'd be a wonder if #HK can stay on as Asia's art hub.

#UliSigg, the #Swiss collector who donated over 1,500 pieces to the museum broke his silence on these "politicians'" attacks. Art reflects reality, it may make us feel uncomfortable, but it reflects the truth. Why is the HK and #Chinese government so anxious to censor the truth?

Huge middle finger to #CreditSuisse which sucks up to #CCP with no shame. Buyer beware.

On another note: M+ is a huge joke. A large amount of contemporary #Chinese artworks were donated because collector #UliSigg was confident that #HongKong will not censor art. How wrong he was.
