James Powderly, co-founder of the Graffiti Research Lab (G.R.L.), was detained by Beijing authorities while readying a specially planned Tibetan protest project using the infamous L.A.S.E.R. stencil. After being disinvited to Beijing’s National Media Art Museum cause they refused to cave, the engineer-artist decided to go to China anyway and promote a free Tibet. He was reportedly picked up around 3AM this morning our time and according to FreeTibet, "his current whereabouts remain unknown."
For those unfamiliar with the L.A.S.E.R. Stencil heres a link to a really cool video about it:
