Gangnam for Freedom
''Gangnam for Freedom'' is a 2012 video clip produced by the British sculptor Anish Kapoor. It is a parody of the international K-pop hit single Gangnam Style, and it was created to advocate the freedom of expression as well as to support the Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei, whose parody of "Gangnam Style" was blocked by Chinese authorities immediately after it was uploaded. The video features appearances by the staff of numerous contemporary art museums as well as human rights activists from Liberty, Index on Censorship, The Helen Bamber Foundation, and Amnesty International.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=20462 )〕
== Background ==
"''草泥马 style''" (literally, "Grass Mud Horse Style"), was uploaded onto YouTube and other Chinese websites by the political activist and dissident Ai Weiwei. In his parody, Ai Weiwei dances "Gangnam Style" with a pair of handcuffs as a symbol of his arrest by Chinese authorities in 2011. According to the Associated Press, government authorities had removed the video from almost all Chinese websites the next day. In an interview with Reuters, Ai Weiwei remarked, "After we had uploaded it, a few hours later...we found that a lot of people, tens of thousands, had already watched it. Now, in China, it has already been totally removed, deleted entirely, and you can't see it in China".
In order to show his solidarity with Ai Weiwei and to protest against censorship by the Chinese government,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rt.com/art-and-culture/news/anish-kapoor-gangnam-style-744/ )〕 Anish Kapoor enlisted the aid of some prominent British artists, including Tom Phillips and Mark Wallinger to produce another parody of "Gangnam Style". It was also produced to support other censored intellectuals and artists including Russia’s jailed feminist punk collective Pussy Riot,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blogs.artinfo.com/artintheair/2012/11/21/watch-anish-kapoors-gangnam-style-parody-video-in-support-of-ai-weiwei/ )〕 the Bahraini human-rights activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, and also to mark the International Day to End Impunity on 23 November.
