BBC News - China police silent on artist Ai Weiwei's detention


trcompton:

This is crazy, I saw information about this guys work when the sunflower seed show went up in the tate, but to think he was detained by the police because of his criticism of the government is hard to fathom here in the US. Hope he makes it home safe.

Seriously guys, Ai Weiwei is a great artist and human being, I’ve been thinking about his work a lot recently and I think more people should know about him as an artist in the world today but also about the political situation he is currently entangled in.
