Nine days after Ai Weiwei went into police custody—he is being investigated for suspected “ economic crimes ”—one of the underlying questions posed to many of us here is whether the world is paying undue attention to his case, in light of the fact, the argument goes, that the vast majority of the Chinese public has never heard of him. Does the fact that Ai’s professional impact is overwhelmingly felt abroad mean that the world is overstating the importance of his detention—and disregarding the more widespread, routine concerns of the Chinese people? As an undisguised member of the his-case-is-important camp, I thought it might be worthwhile to lay out some of the issues at stake. The “mainstream” problem: In an English editorial last week, the state-backed Global Times declared , “Ai once said China was living in a ‘crazy, black’ era. This is not the mainstream perception among Chinese society.”

The Cultural Policy Research Award was launched in 2004 by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, and since 2008, is developed in partnership with ENCATC. Designed to foster academic and applied cultural policy research and to explore issues at stake in contemporary Europe, the Cultural Policy Research Award aims to contribute to new competence building among young scholars in comparative cultural policy research. Through the CPRA annual competition, the program partners aim to encourage and enable cultural policy researchers to take a step from evaluative (descriptive) to comparative applied research that can inform policymaking and benefit practitioners active in the field.

Plática con Natalia Ibáñez Lario La obra de Natalia Ibáñez Lario revela las diferentes manifestaciones de la cultura digital a nivel individual y plantea relaciones entre lo real, lo virtual y lo verdadero en la cultura contemporánea. Examinando expresiones individuales del error y lo aleatorio, presentes en el uso colectivo de diversas tecnologías y herramientas digitales, delega el liderazgo de la producción artística tanto en el uso aleatorio del software como en la imprevisible acción humana. Así cuestiona la autoría de la pieza de arte, refuerza la idea de error presente tanto en lo virtual como en lo físico y propone un recorrido oscilatorio entre lo global y lo local, entre el progreso y la tradición. Graduada en Arquitectura por la UIC, estudió también en la Architectural Association School of Architecture AA (Londres), así como Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (Londres) y Slade School of Fine Art (Londres).Obra bidimensional: no excederá los 200 x 200 cm. sin marco.
