UNBOWED, UNBROKEN- moreintelligentlife.com + Letter from China - The New Yorker
On Tuesday Shanghai authorities demolished a million-dollar studio built by Ai Weiwei, an important and controversial Chinese artist. Mr Ai, who has developed a reputation for being critical of China's leaders, was told the building did not meet code. The Shanghai city government had invited him to build the studio in the first place, to attract prominent artists to the city. Two years and many meetings later, the structure is now a pile of rocks. Mr Ai naturally suspects foul play. moreintelligentlife.com
