After Ai Weiwei saw that his name had been omitted from press release statements for an upcoming exhibition at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing late last month, the artist and dissident pulled his own work from the show in what he said was an act of “defiance of UCCA and the false portrayal of Chinese contemporary art”. Today, Ai posted to his Instagram account transcript from a follow-up conversation that he had with Philip Tinari, the director of UCCA, wherein he accuses Tinari of self-censorship and tells him “you don’t have to ruin yourself with this Chineseness”.
