Manufacturer of cubes now will not check with the customers large quantities, for what purposes you will use the designer. Previously the AI Weiwei denied the purchase of a batch of cubes for the reason that his art is too politicized

the Lego no longer ask the customers large quantities of the designer, what purpose will be used the cubes. The company's management made an official statement on Tuesday. Apparently, a similar resolution in the Lego came after the scandal, Chinese artist-диссидентом AI Weiwei, who refused to purchase a large batch of cubes in the fall of 2015.

AI Weiwei explained the company's refusal to sell him a Lego party designer that the Danes are expanding their presence in Asia — will have to build an entertainment Park Legoland in Shanghai. The artist the cubes needed for the exhibition at the National gallery of Victoria in Australia. Earlier in the framework of the exhibition on the prison island of Alcatraz, in the Bay of St-Франциско, Chinese dissident posted of Tinker toys 175 portraits of "prisoners of conscience", including Nelson Mandela, Edward Snowden and others

is still internal policy of the company Lego was provided for the refusal from the sale of designer those who are going to use it for political purposes. Now, in order to avoid "misunderstandings", the clients will not ask, what will the cubes. Instead, customers will be asked to clearly identify (in case of work from Legos will be on display to the public) that the Lego company does not support any specific projects.

AI Weiwei welcomed the decision to change company policy Lego, calling it a "good deed" in favor "of freedom of expression".
