Chinese Museums
Over the last 30 years, the Chinese system of art museums has enjoyed an unprecedented pace of development. Following a general and ongoing renovation of China's entire system of national art institutions, there has been an impressive proliferation of meishuguan (art museums) all over in the country. Many different types of institutional statuses for art museums have recently been launched (notably small, private art museums) while others have developed rapidly (especially state-owned museums). This volume explores this range of different approaches to exhibiting and curating art, while also investigating the crucial question of the cultural sustainability of art museums in China. Through fo...
Tracing Contemporary Chinese Art
This book explores the author's ten-year ethnographic journey in different locations in Shanghai. His immersion in China’s art world is grounded in a topology of places and new ways of writing and deploying history today. The ethnographic approaches to experiencing, analysing and representing space offer a critical tool to explore a different version of realism invisible in the nominal art and art history paradigms. As the market and institutional norms are still being defined, this book also documents and analyses how individuals have strived to negotiate boundaries in the art world and thus create unique selfhood. Instead of conventional methods of periodisation and stylistic analysis, this book presents a historiographic strategy emphasising the philosophical significance of spatial realism to offer insights into history, subjectivities and political institutions.

Li Yongzheng
The first international volume on one of China’s most controversial conceptual artists, renowned for his eclecticism and attention to the sociopolitical scene. This comprehensive visual monograph provides a documentation of Li Yongzheng’s works, ranging from performances to installations, video to open-ended participatory projects. The artist is renowned for examining China’s most thorny issues, such as human rights and personal freedoms. In this volume, he reflects on the theme of borders by questioning the concepts of “nation” and “abroad,” “us” and “the other,” trying to explain the condition of today’s China: more and more connected with the “outside” world and fragmented “inside.”
In China When It All Began
The first international volume--and the very first English release--on Xiao Quan, one of the most acclaimed contemporary photographers in China. Xiao Quan shot to fame with his large-scale photo album Our Generation. The album, published in 1996 in China, features almost all of the famous figures in literature and fine art during the 1980s and 1990s, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, He Xuntian, Tan Dun, Bei Dao, Wang Anyi, Shi Tiesheng, Chen Cun, and Cui Jian, among others. In order to make this picture album, Xiao Quan traveled around China, and it took him nearly ten years to complete it. This book returns to that project to present it to a wider audience. This is a personal and fascinating documentation of China's late 1980s through the 1990s, capturing the drastic social change of the country's first decade of economic reform. Through an attentive selection of his most significant portraits of ordinary people around China and a group of emerging artists, this book aims at a comprehensive depiction of Xiao Quan's generation, giving a new perspective on Chinese cultural evolution and contemporary society.

This richly illustrated book examines six decades of Liu's painting, photography, and drawing. Author Dorothy Moss illuminates the impo...
