As the world focuses on the Beijing Olympics, Chinese art and architecture continue to gather gold-medal-level attention. While one critic has named Rem Koolhaas' headquarters for CCTV as "the most significant building of the century so far," others have warned that China's art scene is at a standstill. According to Artworld Salon's Ian Charles Stewart, the nation's premier artists continually produce the same kinds of work, while new artists carefully adopt styles that have been proven sales-worthy by their predecessors. Not everyone is so pessimistic, however; artist and curator James Elaine recently moved to China for two years to get closer to the scene.
