Liu Xiaodong
Jeff Israely's article on Liu Xiaodong, one of the top Chinese artist of the contemporary art world + his painting of trashscape in Naples + the local mafiosi connection + other viewpoints @ http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1840280,00.html was brilliant.
Modern life gives us many things. But I've always wondered where does the trash go? Europe may be the most civilized, most mature society on the planet. So why is there this (waste)problem? It's not supposed to be like this.

Britain’s Biggest-selling Artist
The Economist article on Damien Hirst, Britain’s biggest-selling artist + the peculiar art market + other viewpoints @ http://www.economist.com/books/displayStory.cfm?story_id=12202493 was interesting.
Only the brave sell at auction, for it is impossible to control who buys or what price they will pay. Some of Mr Hirst’s pieces will sell easily, especially if several bidders descend on the same work at once; others will be knocked down more slowly.

Upside Down House Project
Daniel Czapiewski's Upside Down House Project + other viewpoints @ http://freshome.com/2007/09/08/amazing-upside-down-house was amazing + hilarious, really!
Heard On The Street
Louis XV famously said, Apres Moi, Le Deluge (After me, the deluge). We don't know if he meant 'after me, comes the revolution' or 'after me, I don't care what happens.' We now face a similar fate.
Francis Bacon Portraits
I found Francis Bacon portraits + other viewpoints @ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7606680.stm interesting.
