Ai Weiwei in Ukraine
Weeks before his new art installation is unveiled in Kyiv, Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei visited Ukraine. Photographs posted by him on Instagram show him in Kharkiv, a city in northeast Ukraine. Among others are photographs of a Ukrainian flag billowing in the wind, sunflower fields, local cats and the artist with Ukrainian soldiers. He also met Ukrainian writer, musician and activist Serhiy Zhadan, businessman and Khartia commander Vsevolod Kozhemyako, footballer Andriy Shevchenko and artist Hamlet Zinkovsky. Though Ai Weiwei did not caption his photographs, Russian-Canadian artist-activist Pyotr Verzilov shared his photographs with Ai Weiwei alongside some details of the visit. He wrote, 'The chief artist of modernity, one of the pillars of world culture, the symbol of modern art Ai Weiwei came to us at the frontline in the very heart of the war, on combat positions north of the beautiful city of Kharkiv…. The great Ai Weiwei — smart, cheeky and brave — as the number one cultural figure on Earth should be.' The politically conscious artist and activist, who has often commented on geopolitical and humanitarian concerns through his works and otherwise, will be showing his work at Kyiv's Pavilion 13, a former Soviet-era exposition hall that has now been renovated into a multi-disciplinary arts space. Titled Three Perfectly Proportioned Spheres and Camouflage Uniforms Painted White, its metal structure is made of spherical forms that also comprised another Ai Weiwei work, Divina Proportione (2004–12), which was inspired by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci's illustrations for an eponymous book on mathematics, written by Luca Pacioli. Commissioned by Ribbon International, a not-for-profit organisation, according to its social media account, '… the work reflects on Enlightenment ideals of rationality — and how those frameworks are co-opted in a world shaped by conflict and concealment. Speaking about it, Ai Weiwei stated, 'That is the challenge, to build new works relating to what I feel, to me in the past and to the current situation. Art is more metaphysical. You cannot really give every description, but you can always suggest a gesture or attitude or some kind of symbolic meaning, more like a poetic gesture.'

China's Pop Mart, maker of the Labubu doll, says profit soars nearly 400% in first half
China's Pop Mart , which has taken the world by storm with its ugly-cute Labubu doll , reported a nearly 400% first-half net profit on Tuesday on high demand for the toys and a shift towards higher-margin overseas markets. Net profit of 396.5% and a 204.4% jump in revenues exceeded numbers flagged in an earnings preview last month forecasting revenue growth of 200% in the first half of 2025 and a recurring net profit increase of at least 350% on the year. Shares in Pop Mart have risen more than 200% year-to-date, making the Chinese toy company more valuable than traditional industry giants like Barbie-maker Mattel and Hello Kitty parent company Sanrio. Pop Mart often sells its collectable figurines in so-called " blind boxes " with buyers not knowing the exact design they will receive until they open the packaging. One of the major drivers of the toothy-grinned Labubu's success has been its popularity with celebrity fans, who include Lisa of K-pop group Blackpink, singer Rihanna and ex-soccer star David Beckham. Pop Mart is pledging to increase supply of the dolls, which have sold out in stores around the world. Its CEO Wang Ning, in an interview with Chinese state media last month, said sales of Labubu will surpass 10 million units per day from September this year. Pop Mart classifies Labubu under its "The Monsters" intellectual property (IP) characters. It said on Tuesday that "The Monsters" raked in 4.81 billion yuan ($669.88 million) in the first half, accounting for 34.7% of total revenue. Four other IPs earned over 1 billion yuan during the period, including "Molly" and "Crybaby", it added.
