Tate – Support for Ai Weiwei

Tate Modern has posted this message on its façade to support the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who is being detained in China.

The gallery is currently showing Ai Weiwei’s sunflower seeds installation in its Turbine Hall space.

Tate is also encouraging people to sign this petition calling for the artist’s release.
