What better symbol of the Chinese Colossus’ feet of clay than the baseless accusations against a lone artist, except possibly the inconvenient fact that the arrested artist was a co-designer of the Bird Nest Stadium, the centerpiece of the Beijing Olympics?
On 4th April, the artist Ai Weiwei was arrested by the Chinese government as he tried to board a plane out of Beijing. The arrest was unfortunate, but not altogether shocking. He may be the country’s most famous living artist, but Ai Weiwei had been the proverbial thorn in the Chinese government’s side for more than two decades. He went on a hunger strike after the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown; when he returned home from exile in New York, where he studied painting and photography, one of his first acts was to take a photo of his wife lifting her skirt and exposing her underwear on the Tiananmen Square.
The bloodied square is a regular, conscientious feature in his work. Like this: Like Loading... Chris Floyd. Martin Schoeller. The Technique Behind Martin Schoeller's Photography.

Edward Burtynsky: Oil (Eight Images. SOCAR Oil Fields #6, Baku, Azerbaijan, 2006. © Edward Burtynsky/Courtesy of Hasted Hunt Kraeutler, New York/Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Toronto Edward Burtynsky: Oil consists of a series of large format color images made over the last 12 years.
Burtynsky’s obsession with oil began in 1997, when he identified oil as a key building block of the last century—politically, economically and socially—on a global scale. He has tracked this controversial, valuable and increasingly scarce resource from extraction to production to consumption. The far reaching scope of the project has taken him from oil fields to expressways, from Western Canada to Los Angeles to the Middle East. The exhibit runs contemporaneously at three venues, Edward Burtynsky: Oil is on view until November 28th at Hasted Hunt Kraeutler, New York; until October 31 at Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Toronto; and until December 13 at The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Juan Manuel Castro Prieto. Mona kuhn » home. Martin Parr Photographer. Learning the Martin Parr Way. Martin Parr is taking a picture of my breakfast.
With an impish smile, he glides behind our chairs, leaning over our shoulders to neatly frame pale yellow eggs, fat sausages, grilled tomatoes, and racks of thin, evenly toasted slices of bread. The 12 photographers gathered in the dining room of the Northbank Hotel —eight men, four women; some professionals, some enthusiasts—study him eagerly. We are on the Isle of Wight, a roughly diamond-shaped piece of land in the English Channel, for an educational weekend with Britain's pre-eminent documentary photographer.
Occasionally Parr discusses technique and technology with individual members of the group, but mostly we learn by watching him. The lesson is simple: Photograph what you love. In Parr's case, this means traditional breakfasts, seaside resort towns, dazed tourists, English people caught being their unguarded English selves. The Northbank Hotel is located in Seaview, a small village on the northern coast of the island.
