BERLIN (AP) — Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is embarking on a three-year guest lecturer job at a Berlin university, declaring that he will include a project on refugees in his teaching but he doesn't plan explicitly to address human rights. Ai, who was detained in China in 2011 and released after 81 days in jail, is starting the guest professorship at Berlin's University of the Arts more than four years after he was named to the post and three months after Chinese authorities finally returned his passport. "I will still go back and forth under the condition that they still let me in and out, which is also not in my control," Ai, who already has made a return trip to China since getting his passport back, said at a news conference on Monday. Ai said he chose 16 students for his course in Berlin, whittling down his selection in part by weeding out applicants who told him that art was an end in itself or that they wanted to know and benefit from the secret of his success.Read more on NewsOK.com
