Perhaps you followed the story this summer about Ai Wewei, the well-known Chinese artist who was "detained" by Chinese authorities for several months and eventually released. I thought I'd put together a quick primer on who he is and what happened:
Video about a current show of his architectural work.
Video about Sunflower Seeds, one of his pieces.
PBS Frontline profile of Ai Weiei.
Certainly his most famous design.
New York Times story on his detention.
