Contemporary Queer Chinese Art de Hongwei Bao

Contemporary Queer Chinese Art: Queering China: Transnational Genders and Sexualities

Editat de Hongwei Bao, Diyi Mergenthaler, Jamie J. Zhao
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iul 2023
Contemporary Queer Chinese Art is the first English-language academic book that explores the intersections of queer culture and contemporary Chinese art from the mid-1980s to the present. This book brings together 15 internationally renowned artists, activists, curators and scholars to explore heterogeneous expressions of Chineseness and queerness in contemporary art from China and Chinese diasporas in Asia, Europe and North America.Examining contemporary visual art, performance and activism, this book offers a rich archive of queer Chinese artistic expressions. It provides valuable insights into the status quo and intersectional struggles of Chinese artists who identify themselves as queer and who have associated their work with queer positionalities and perspectives. By sharing personal experiences, art expressions and critical insights about what it means to be queer and Chinese in a transnational context, the book reveals multiple forms and potentialities of queer politics in the domains of art and activism.

Recenzii

This book explores an uncharted world of contemporary queer Chinese art. Through selected case studies on the topics of gender, sexuality, identity and politics in the transcultural and interdisciplinary contexts, it showcases artistic practices in diverse forms, reflecting heterogeneity of queer life, culture and personal experiences in China today. A substantial and thought-provoking contribution to the field of Chinese contemporary art.
A timely collection of personal accounts and scholarly inquiries, this anthology engages with the vital intersections of feminism, avant-gardism, and queer art in contemporary China that are part and parcel of Chinese queer activism. It is nothing short of a courageous and groundbreaking endeavor from the editors' part in providing an academic platform for intimate, illustrative, and at times inspiring reflections from practitioners who have made this activist and artistic discourse possible in China and beyond.
Bringing together a diverse array of scholars and curators of queer Chinese art as well as the voices of many important queer Chinese artists themselves, Contemporary Queer Chinese Art is a groundbreaking and timely introduction to the burgeoning transnational Chinese art world.
Contemporary Queer Chinese Art provides a crucial and timely extension to queer art theory from a global perspective. Covering a wide range of subjects and methodological approaches this book establishes a rich ground for future research and offers invaluable guidance to further transnationalize and decolonize the studies of queer art.
Contemporary Queer Chinese Art significantly extends critical debates related to Chinese contemporary art. It does so by elucidating diverse intersecting queer identities in conjunction with a close attention to the particularities of Sino-cultural discourses and practices. The innovative mapping of trans-cultural and trans-historical intertextualities provided by this volume opens up interpretative perspectives that intervene productively with established Eurocentric conceptions of visual culture.
This book offers a remarkable comprehensive survey of contemporary queer Chinese art by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) identified Chinese and Sinophone artists. The context, conceptualization, and reflection of their own works and the creative processes by artists, many of them translated from Chinese, are especially valuable, so as the informative, reflective, and critical essays by curators, activists, art critics, and scholars. These works engage queer transnationalism and decolonial queer politics by queering notions of Asianness, Chineseness,queerness, and womanhood. It's a much-have book for learning about contemporary queer Chinese art, and queer love, history and culture in the transnational Chinese context.
