<TD vAlign=top>this may be a little of topic <br>
<br>
but its important, and many of us here work in the arts. <br>
<br>
if you haven't heard of Ai Weiwei, he is a Chinese artist. an incredible artist if you ask me. i've only recently begun to investigate his work. <br>
<br>
and now he's been detained by the chinese govt. for reeducation ? <br>
<br>
here is a TED link on Ai Weiwei. <br>
