    Thanks for reminding me about this brave and outspoken artist. Only yesterday I read this by Foucault: 'Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons?'

    Thank you for this am - I had not known much about Ai Weiwei, now I'm a little less ignorant.
