The artist was granted a 20-day visa to attend the opening of hisLondon show. 艾未未获得了20天的签证去参加他在伦敦的开幕式表演。
However, it may mean he cannot supervise the installation of thelandmark solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts which has a privatepreview on 15 September. 然而,这可能意味着他不能监督9月15日在皇家艺术学院私人预览的具有里程碑意义的个展的成立。
A Home Office spokesperson said: "This case did not come to theHome Secretary, and she is now looking into it." 内政部发言人说:“这种情况没有牵涉到内政大臣,而她现在正在调查。”
Ai's letter, from the visa section of the British embassy inBeijing, stated Ai's entry to the UK "has been restricted to the requesteddates of travel... because you have failed to meet the business visitorrules". 从英国驻北京大使馆发来的艾未未的信中说道艾未未进入英国“一直限于请求的旅行日期……因为你没能满足游客规则。” ( 四月网Annie2014独家编译自BBC 新闻网) |
