Art community rallies to Ai Weiwei's defense (AP)



A woman sheltering under an umbrella from the rain walks past as workers put up a two-story-high black-and-white photograph of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei outside the Lisson Gallery in London, Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has vanished. But look around, and he seems to be everywhere. More than a month after one of China's best-known contemporary artist was arrested while trying to board a flight to Hong Kong, his name, his face and his art have been popped up across the globe. China's communist rulers have steadfastly refused to say where Ai is or who's holding him. His colleagues in the international art world say they want to make sure he doesn't disappear from view.
