The Tate Modern shows its support to Ai Weiwei

The Brits are always the ones with the biggest balls and the most innovative... I love it!

The Tate Modern has released this message of support to the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who was recently detained at Beijing Airport by the local authorities on its façade like a "big f*ck you" to the world. The amazing institution is also encouraging people to sign the petition calling for the artist's release.

The gallery is currently showing Ai Weiwei's sunflower seeds installation, which I had the chance to see last weekend, in its Turbine Hall space.To help spread word of petition, it is suggesting that people show solidarity by using this photo as their avatar on Twitter. Tate's Twitter feed is here.

I say well done, at least you have the guts to stand for what you believe in!
