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.

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. "Release Ai Weiwei," reads a message inscribed on the top of Britain's Tate Modern, one of the country's most-visited attractions. Just this week, two major exhibitions of the artist's work are going up in London — including one in the capital's Somerset House, a high-profile venue which hosts the capital's biannual fashion week. The other, at west London's Lisson Gallery, features a two-story-high black-and-white photograph of the artist staring out from its facade.

"As long as he's incarcerated, artists and cultural figures will be asking what we can do," said writer Ekow Eshun, one of several people who attended the launch of Ai's work, 12 massive, open-mouthed bronze animal heads meant to recreate the traditional Chinese zodiac.
