Miami Artist Destroys Ai Weiwei Vase at PAMM in Protest Over International Artist Receiving Exhibition

February 17, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Perez Ai Weiwei Incident

CBS’s local station in Miami reports on the destruction of a vase in the Ai Weiwei exhibition at the Perez Art Museum by Maximo Caminero:

PAMM’s security told Camino [sic], according to the affidavit, to put the vase down—but he didn’t listen. Instead Camino threw and broke the vase—which shattered into pieces.

Camino, whose occupation is listed as an artist on the affidavit, “spontaneously” told an officer that he broke the vase in protest of local artists because the museum only displays international artist’s work.
