🚨 Hong Kong department store Sogo removed LA-based artist Patrick Amadon’s digital artwork No Rioters, an Art Basel exhibit, that contained references to jailed dissidents such as Benny Tai, Joshua Wong and Gwyneth Ho, at the “request” of HK Police.

Patrick Amadon: “It was too much watching Art Week in Hong Kong pretend the Chinese government didn’t crush a democracy and turn Hong Kong into a vassal surveillance state... because it’s a convenient location for a good market.”

@gdemaneuf @Muller_Lab @Engineer2The @Ayjchan @MichaelWorobey @jeffykao @KatherineEban @SenatorBurr @evadou I’ll say this again, this particular piece is purely generic party branch propaganda. It’s not about any lab incident. The author was merely saying every time researchers have to do dangerous research, party branch members will be there at the front line.

archive.ph/2020.04.19-061… Image @gdemaneuf @Muller_Lab @Engineer2The @Ayjchan @MichaelWorobey @jeffykao @KatherineEban @SenatorBurr @evadou Reid and others apparently misunderstood it as “there’s an incident and people had to handle it.” Trust me, that’s vey straightforward Chinese language in the article. Nothing mysterious, nothing obscure.
