At the Williams college Chinese art show a few months ago that had one or two Atta Kims. I remember one where he was in a prison gallery which had balconies on every floor and it was full of naked Americans with him in the buff in the middle.

An ambitious artist -- the work is so striking as visually-delivered experience and idea. I had been unaware of it till yesterday.
