Rotorua Art Village, Aotearoa/New Zealand do Gangnam Style for Ai Weiwei and others
Arts work out in gangnam style for speech after freedom - When the Chinese government banned South Korean Psy #39;s song "Gangnam Style", then Ai Weiwei made a youtube video clip focussed on the silliness of censorship (see my review: Ai Weiwei the multi-tasker: sonjavank.wordpress.com When his video was banned, then artists and arts institutes around the world made their own #39;Gangnam Style #39; in protest against the censorship of the arts. The video above is a remix of Ai Weiwei #39;s (youtu.be and of Anish Kapoor #39;s (youtu.be videos along with some of those at my RAVE talk "Why is Ai Weiwei doing Gangnam Style" where the slogans made afterwards were in response to a discussion of what does freedom of expression mean in terms of collective and individual involvement in the world or one #39;s society. Performers in order of appearance: (to be completed soon) : 00:16 Sonja van Kerkhoff (as black mud straw horse), 00:17 Sen McGlinn (as middle aged activist in pink shirt), Snipbits in the above video also come from: MoMa, New York, The Philadelphia Museum of Arts, The Serpentine Gallery, London. And this 3 minute Hong Kong wall street journal interview discusses Ai Weiwei #39;s video. http://www.youtube.comFrom:Sonja van KerkhoffViews:13 1ratingsTime:04:16More inNonprofits Activism
