L.A. Gallery Beijing
The L.A. Gallery Beijing was founded by three entrepreneurs from Beijing & Germany and has a reputation for finding "new" artists. The exhibits focus mainly, but not exclusively, on young Chinese artists.
Here's a couple I've been admiring:

Larry Blamire's Steam Wars
Steam Wars is the creation of Larry Blamire; artist, actor and writer-director of the indie cult film The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra, released by Sony Pictures. The concept began as an image from a mural he painted in high school and over the years has become something of a "dream project", in paintings, stories, copious notes, film treatment, and--eventually--film itself.
(from the gallery) The US samson class battlerig "Ulysses" has seen better days. Top of its line, the 1907 rig was first to feature electric lighting. Note alternating stacks, another first.
(from the sketchbook) Goliath class gunrig
(from memorabilia) Only surviving photo of the wreck of the ajax class William B. Travis, felled at the battle of Duluth. Smaller steam rig took direct hits from Prussian 15-pounder and just "sat down" at the edge of some woods. Crew scrambled out with, amazingly, no casualties. More clunks and clanks here.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Turkish photographer and director
Winter In The City, Istanbul, 2004 (from Turkey Cinemascope series)
Girl With A Black Shirt, 1987 (from Early Photographs series)
I also suggest his meditative film, Uzak. Not a boatload of dialogue, but if a photograph is worth a thousand words then his film is worth millions.Nuri's site.

How to displace 1.9M people
The Three Gorges dam, in the middle reaches of the Yangtse River, China. Due for completion in 2009, it will be the largest hydroelectric dam in the world.
An old town under demolition, Wanshen, 2003. The sign on the building says "175m" denotes the expected water level once construction of the dam is completed in 2009.
