Chinese Artists Protest Demolition of Beijing Studios
I had to pull this off Reuters: India because the American site doesn’t offer an embed function (see link below). Whatever… big thanks to India!
This video is from the New Tang Dynasty TV folks, who I’m pretty sure are financially and politically affiliated with the Falun Gong cult movement, but they none the less put together some fairly balanced journalism. In this piece, they apparently got footage from Reuters and then repackaged it with slightly more historical context (Tian’anmen reference), as well as adding stills from Ai Weiwei’s twitpic stream:

Liu Bolin: The Invisible Man of China
I’m loving this guy’s work! Explanatory quote from the video:
“My art represents the diminishing humanity in today’s society. I use my art to reflect on culture, environment, and the fast economic development.”
And this photo is an excellent example of the power in Mr. Liu’s photography. By the way, Yan roughly translated the red writing on the wall as, “To unite the thoughts and propagandize education.”
