As I noted in my posting of a few days ago (last Thursday) Maleonn has been featured on BBC's The Culture Show programme, which last week focused on China to coincide with the Olympics. The show did not air here in Canada when it was scheduled to; it seems that the South Ossetia conflict between Georgia and Russia caused BBC World News to go much longer than scheduled Saturday morning. But, even though I have yet to see the episode personally, I am very reliably informed that the show did air. A correspondent writes from the UK: "At the end of the program one of the presenters singled [Maleonn's] work out as one of the standouts from her experience while there. It was shown on BBC World this evening which was when I caught it. " If and when I am able to access a video version of this episode of The Culture Show, I will direct readers to it. At the moment, the online video function is blocked for viewing outside the UK (at least that is what the pop-up window currently says).
UPDATING OF POST: The Culture Show segment, minus the host's end-of-show comments (see above), is now up on YouTube at Maleonn on The Culture Show. It is just under three minutes. It also shows Maleonn's studio, and is very good for some overview comments from Maleonn on his family background and on his thinking behind the Days on the Cotton Candy series (just shown at the Victoria and Albert). Part of the commentary from the BBC host includes the observation that Maleonn is now thought of as "one of the most exciting new photographers of his generation" -- not only in China but outside.
