Lego has said it is reversing its policy on bulk purchases and will no longer ask customers what they want to use the bricks for.The U-turn follows a recent controversy involving Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.In October last year, Ai accused Lego of censorship when it refused to sell its bricks directly to him.The company said its policy was to reject requests if it believed the bricks would be used to make a political statement.Ai is known for his criticism of the Chinese government as well as for being one of the world's leading contemporary artists. He wanted the bricks for an artwork on political dissidents. The artist ended up using "fake" bricks donated to him by the public for an exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.Ai appeared to react to Lego's decision on Wednesday by posting a picture on Instagram of a young boy sticking bricks onto his face, accompanied by a grinning emoji caption. When Lego first refused to sell a bulk order of plastic bricks to Ai Weiwei in September, he's thought to have kept the news to himself.
But a few weeks later, the announcement that a new Legoland theme park would open in Shanghai led the artist to reveal Lego's decision to stay away from projects that had a "political agenda". It was a surprising decision by Lego. After all, Ai Weiwei had used Lego before. He created a series of portraits of political dissidents that appeared at an exhibition in Alcatraz prison in 2014. Back in October, the artist tied Lego's financial interests in China with its decision to refuse his order. His accusation has some merit: KIRKBI, the private Danish company that owns the Lego brand also owns a significant amount of shares in Merlin Entertainment, the British company that operates Legolands around the world.China is Lego's fastest growing market and the company wouldn't want to irritate Beijing. However, as Lego might attest, few would want to battle the feisty Ai Weiwei. In a statement posted on its website on Tuesday, Lego said it used to ask customers ordering bulk purchases for the "thematic purpose" of their project, as it did not want to "actively support or endorse specific agendas"."
However, those guidelines could result in misunderstandings or be perceived as inconsistent, and the Lego Group has therefore adjusted the guidelines for sales of Lego bricks in very large quantities," it said.As of 1 January the company will instead ask that customers make clear the group does not support or endorse their projects, if exhibited in public.Lego's earlier decision to refuse Ai's request angered the artist, who accused the company of censorship and discrimination, and of attempting to define political art.The artist told the BBC he welcomed Lego's change of heart."I think Lego made a good move, I think this would be a small victory for freedom of speech." The artist also linked Lego's stance with business interests in China.The controversy sparked a public backlash resulting in supporters around the world offering to donate toy bricks.Ai set up "Lego collection points" in different cities, and ended up making a new series of artworks based on the incident as a commentary on freedom of speech and political art.
Correction: This article was changed to make it clear that Ai Weiwei's Melbourne exhibition used non-Lego bricks.Lego has relented on a policy to not allow bulk purchases of its toy bricks after a Chinese artist was declined an order because his project had a 'political agenda'.The Lego Group last year refused a bulk order for the toy bricks for an exhibition of Ai Weiwei's in Melbourne, Australia, in a move he labelled 'an act of censorship and discrimination'.However, yesterday the company has now announced that it would no longer enforce its decades-old policy of enquiring what 'thematic purpose' of a project is. Lego has ended its policy of refusing to sell bulk orders of its toy bricks for projects with a 'political agenda' Lego pieces donated to Ai Weiwei after he was initially refused the order are pictured in a car in London The artist launched a campaign to crowd source toy bricks for his project after the company would not accept his bulk order purchaseInstead, customers who intend to display their creations in public will be asked to make clear that Lego does not support or endorse them.
Asked whether the reversal was in response to the backlash it suffered over Ai's case, the toy-maker said it had been asked whether it supports human rights and freedom of expression.In an email, spokesman Roar Rude Trangbaek wrote: 'We always have and continue to do - this is at the heart of what Lego play is all about.'We hope the new guidelines will make it more clear what we stand for.'Ai's supporters had donated Lego bricks to him in various countries, and the artist said discussions online about Lego's refusal to sell bricks for the Melbourne artwork had pressured the company.He said the new policy was a 'good move,' and a victory for freedom of expression.He said: 'Lego is a language which everybody can appreciate and should be able to use it according to their will, and that's what all freedom of expression is about.'The Melbourne exhibition, which opened in December, was to feature 20 portraits of Australian pro-freedom figures made from Lego bricks. Instead, it used similar bricks from a Chinese company.'I couldn't tell much difference and the price is much, much lower,' he added.
