Contemporary East Asian Visual Cultures, Societies and Politics: Cultural Diversity and Tradition

Gladston, Paul; Howarth-Gladston, Lynne; Tsong-zung Chang , Johnson; Kuo, Jason

This is the first edited collection to critically address in its entirety questions related to the displaying of Chinese contemporary art. It includes chapters by scholars and cultural workers from diverse backgrounds involved in the interpretation of artistic as well as curatorial discourses and practices. Each of those chapters gives a detailed account of a particular, socio-culturally informed, approach to the making and showing of Chinese art - including in relation to queer identities, transculturality, the use of social media, artivism, social engagement, institutional critique, and neo-Confucian aesthetics. Together they present a vital intervention with established curatorship amidst the intensely interconnected and increasingly multi-polar cultural conditionalities of early 21^st-century contemporaneity.
