Arrested Chinese Blackjack Guru Ai WeiWei also an Artist and Activist
Is that an amazing headline or what? Ai Weiwei’s talents on the blackjack table are often relegated to brief asides at best in profiles of the artist — apparently he picked it up when he was first living in New York in the 1980s — but the New York region blackjack community has also spoken out against his disappearance. One could find this aspect of his life apt for comparison with the politics of his artistic career — Ai likes high-risk games? — but it seems trivial in light of his current status.
