UK's Royal Academy gives Ai Weiwei honorary title
Wed Jun 1, 2011 4:47pm EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Royal Academy has made detained Chinese artist
Ai Weiwei an honorary member alongside Danish painter Per Kirkeby, the
prestigious London art institution said on Wednesday.
The title of Honorary Academician goes to artists not living in Britain, and
they do not take part in the governance of the Royal Academy. The 80 full
Academicians, who are all practicing artists, vote in up to two new honorary
members each year.
The Royal Academy called Ai, detained in China since he was seized at
Beijing's international airport on April 3, "one of the most significant
cultural figures of his generation in China and internationally."
It made no mention of Ai's detention, which has sparked an international
outcry in the art world and beyond. Supporters say he is the victim of a
crackdown on dissent, while Chinese authorities have said he was suspected
of "economic crimes."
The 54-year-old artist has a high profile in Britain, especially after his
giant commission for the Tate Modern gallery in London called "Sunflower
Seeds" in which he covered the floor of the cavernous Turbine Hall with
millions of handmade porcelain seed replicas.
The same gallery hosted a retrospective of Kirkeby's work in 2009 focusing
on his painting, although he is known also for his works on paper, small and
large scale bronze sculptures, brick structures and architecture.
