Speaks out for Julian Assange

Firstsite rejects his piece about Assange
For the virtual British “Great Big Art Exhibition” Ai proposed “Postcard for Political Prisoners”, incorporating a photograph of the running machine Assange used in the Ecuadorian embassy. The director of the organiser, Firstsite, declined to include it, citing time constraints and its fit with the exhibition’s concept; Ai thought the real reason was an unwillingness to touch the subject of Assange.
