Protest at the Tate Modern

Chinese artist Cai Yuan breached the Tate Modern’s security to walk on Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds installation, wearing a T-shirt drawing attention to the difficulty of being an artist.

According to The Telegraph, “Yuan, 54, who lives in Oxford and moved to the UK 27 years ago, wore a T-shirt which read: ‘I’m a real artist. I know 3 gallerists. I speak 2 languages, fought for 27 years have 4 children and no work for 27 years. But I only want one job.'”

I can hear the violins.
