The Art Gallery of Ontario announced Friday it will join a global movement to collect Lego for dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei’s next project. Ai planned another of his massive, trademark installation pieces for an Australian gallery, but the Danish company that makes the tiny plastic bricks refused the order over concerns the piece would further a “political agenda.” "Everything is awesome " A post shared by Ai Weiwei (@aiww) on Oct 24, 2015 at 3:22pm PDT The artist’s work is often critical of the Chinese government and other political regimes. Ai believes Lego’s refusal to support the work — which is about freedom of speech — is a form of “censorship and discrimination.”
He linked it to the recent plans to open a Lego themed amusement park in Shanghai. His words prompted galleries from around the world, from New York City to Berlin, Germany, to Melbourne, Australia, to collect Lego bricks on Ai’s behalf. In London, where Ai’s current exhibit is on display, the Royal Academy is asking the artists and the toy’s fans to fill an old BMW with bricks. Now, Toronto residents will have a chance to lend a brick or two hundred to the cause. The AGO will soon start collecting Lego as a sign of solidarity with Ai and artistic freedom. Freedom of expression is a core value for public art museums like the AGO “Freedom of expression is a core value for public art museums like the AGO, and we will always vigorously defend an artist’s right to express him or herself,” the AGO said in a release announcing the collection. It hosted an installation of Ai’s work in 2013. Like the Royal Academy, the AGO will also park a BMW outside its Dundas Street gallery with hopes of filling it rim to rim with tiny, coloured Lego.
Lego wouldn’t respond to Ai’s specific case, according to the Associated Press, but said the company refrains “from actively engaging in or endorsing the use of Lego bricks in projects or contexts of a political agenda.” A collection date has not yet been announced in Toronto but you can follow the AGO on Twitter or check out its blog for more information. — with files from the Associated PressThe best toy stores in Toronto cater to more than just the latest fad gizmo that every kid is clamouring for.
