一些瑞典艺术家在Facebook上发起了“1001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei”（给艾未未的1001枚凳子）活动：

这个活动的形式是在瑞典斯德哥尔摩中国大使馆（以及全球的其他中国大使馆和领事馆）之前搬凳子进行静坐，要求立刻释放艾未未。活动的描述以及简单翻译如下：
A question posted on Facebook about what we, as an arts community, can do to support the safe release of Ai Weiwei sparked great ideas, including one by curator Steven Holmes to reenact Ai Weiwei’s project Fairytale: 1,001 Qing Dynasty Wooden Chairs—an installation which was comprised of 1,001 late Ming and Qing Dynasty wooden chairs at Documenta 12 in 2007 in Kassel, Germany—in front of Chinese embassies and consulates around the world. This Sunday, April 17, at 1 PM local time, supporters are invited to participate in 1001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei, by bringing a chair and gathering outside Chinese embassies and consulates to sit peacefully in support of the artist’s immediate release.
张贴在Facebook上关于我们作为一个艺术社区怎样支持艾未未安全获释的问题，激发了很多美妙的主义，包括馆长史蒂芬霍姆斯的想法：重演艾未未的“童话”项目（安装在卡塞尔文献展在2007年12日，德国），也就是搬1001把明清朝木椅放在中国拄世界各地的领事馆大使馆前。这个星期天，4月17日，当地时间下午1时，支持者被邀请参加“1001把椅子给艾未未”活动，带上一把椅子到中国大使馆和领事馆外集会，静坐支持艺术家艾的立即释放。
Artist and activist Ai Weiwei is an internationally regarded figure who has fought for artistic freedom and for freedom of speech throughout his distinguished career, envisioning and shaping a more just and equitable society through his work. He has been missing since his arrest on April 3rd in Beijing. Referencing the spirit of his work, 1001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei calls for his immediate release, supporting the right of artists to speak and work freely in China and around the world.
艺术家和活动家艾未未是一个被世界所尊敬的人物，争取艺术自由和言论自由贯穿在他卓越的生涯中，这些行为预示和塑造一个更加公正和平等的社会。他自四月三日在北京被逮捕后一直失踪。引用他作品的精神，“1001把椅子给艾未未”活动要求立即释放他，支持艺术家在中国和世界各地能够自由发言和工作的权利。
