‘Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry’ Teaser Trailer
Later this year Alison Klayman’s feature-length documentary on the infamous Ai Weiwei will be released. Out now is a teaser trailer that does it’s job well, and has whet my appetite to see more.
Unfortunately due to its hosting on the blocked Vimeo video sharing site, you’ll need a VPN to watch it (note to people promoting films that are bound to have an eager audience inside China — self-host your trailers so people in countries without access to major video sharing sites can still watch them).
Chinese artist takes ‘blending in’ to a new level

This sculpture by Zheng Lu at New Age Gallery is described by the photographer, Flickr user NowJustNic, as such: “This large Buddha head (well over a metre tall) is made out of traditional Chinese characters in chrome, which give it a delicate, ethereal feel, different to the monumental stone or wood statues of Buddha you usually see in temples or grottoes. It’s one of my favourite finds at 798 so far (though it’s gone now). My friend Eric said he would stand it at the end of his bed and put a light inside it
