Reihe: Rethinking Art's Histories

Questioning what the term ‘Chinese art’ means in the era of global art, this book situates Chinese contemporary art in the matrix of global expositions and political transnationalisms. Its case studies explore the changing political concept of Chineseness by examining performative, body-oriented video and eco-feminist works.
