Exhibiting Chinese Art in Asia, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This volume examines the emerging exhibition complex on Chinese art in early twentieth-century China, and from the mid-1950s onwards, the cultural politics involved in Asia with the exhibitions of traditional and modern Chinese art in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. It also scrutinizes the curatorial practices that have influenced the interpretation and display of Chinese art amidst the advance of media technology and heritage engagement in the twenty-first century. Situated within ongoing debates on global art history, the volume is inclusive of multiple geo-cultural perspectives, and the dynamic practices that relate art tradition or heritage to more universal spatiotemporal art experience and engagement. It extends the understanding of exhibitions of Chinese art not only as multiple historical processes culturally and politically negotiated and contested by contending forces and diverse actors in the region, but also as creative interventions to engage people around the globe in the present.
