Research-Based Art Practices in Southeast Asia
This book is the first overall study of research-based art practices in Southeast Asia. Its objective is to examine the creative and mutual entanglement of academic and artistic research; in short, the Why, When, What and How of research-based art practices in the region. In Southeast Asia, artists are increasingly engaged in research-based art practices involving academic research processes. They work as historians, archivists, archaeologists or sociologists in order to produce knowledge and/or to challenge the current established systems of knowledge production. As artists, they can freely draw on academic research methodologies and, at the same time, question or divert them for their own artistic purpose. The outcome of their research findings is exhibited as an artwork and is not published or presented in an academic format. This book seeks to demonstrate the emancipatory dimension of these practices, which contribute to opening up our conceptions of knowledge and of art, bestowing a new and promising role to the artists within the society.
Curating Under Pressure
Curating Under Pressure breaks the silence surrounding curatorial self-censorship and shows that it is both endemic to the practice and ubiquitous. Contributors map the diverse forms such self-censorship takes and offer creative strategies for negotiating curatorial integrity. This is the first book to look at pressures to self-censor and the curatorial responses to these pressures from a wide range of international perspectives. The book offers examples of the many creative strategies that curators deploy to negotiate pressures to self-censor and gives evidence of curators’ political acumen, ethical sagacity and resilience over the long term. It also challenges the assumption that self-ce...
Hong Kong Soft Power
In late 2014, the prodemocracy demonstrations that were called the "Umbrella Movement" revealed to the world that Hong Kong was not the moneyobsessed society it had often been portrayed as. Hong Kong Soft Power is a description of the complex relationship the artists and activists of this city have had with the country it has been part of since 1997. Trying to understand all the varied forms of art practices possible in the Special Administrative Region by locating them within a relational model, and situating them within the dynamic and changing art ecosystem that has developed over the last decade, Hong Kong Soft Power describes the local art field as a site of struggle where the connectio...
The Routledge Companion to Literature and Art
The Routledge Companion to Literature and Art explores the links between literature and visual art from classical ekphrasis through to contemporary experimental forms. The collection’s engagement with diverse literary and cultural artifacts offers a comprehensive survey of the vibrant interrelationships that currently inform literary studies and the arts. Featuring four sections, the first part provides an overview of theoretical approaches to art and literature from philosophy and aesthetics through to cognitive neuroscience. Part two examines one of the most important intersections between text and image: the workings of ekphrasis across poetry, fiction, drama, comics, life and travel wr...
审美的境象：中国当代艺术话语范式研究
本書主要是對中國當代藝術話語範式進行梳理和探討。書中重點考察本土化、再東方化、社會主義文化現代化、跨文化身份建構，四者分別構成了中國當代藝術的時代性、文化性、現實性、域外性情境；重點討論中國當代藝術的現代性轉型以及審美現代性、方法探索、美學追求等多方面的問題。 同時，跨文化多元審美現代性又具有強烈的實踐性，即境象互生，積極回應當前社會文化挑戰。跨文化多元審美現代性（“審美的境象”）這一範式將語境性與本體性、審美性與現代性、一體性與多元性、藝術性與社會性等結合起來，對於理解中國當代藝術話語的複雜性、可能性與實踐性，有參考價值。
Dissidence
How the valorization of artistic and political dissidence has contributed to the rise of Chinese contemporary art in the West. Interest in Chinese contemporary art increased dramatically in the West shortly after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Sparked by political sympathy and the mediatized response to the event, Western curators, critics, and art historians were quick to view the new art as an expression of dissident resistance to the Chinese regime. In this book, Marie Leduc proposes that this attribution of political dissidence is not only the result of latent Cold War perceptions about China, but also indicative of the art world's demand for artistically and politically provocative...
The Frame in Classical Art
This book reveals how 'marginal' aspects of Graeco-Roman art play a fundamental role in shaping and interrogating ancient and modern visual culture.
Negotiating Difference
Contemporary Chinese art has only recently become a topic of in-depth academic research. The edited volume Negotiating Difference looks at contemporary Chinese art in a global context and focuses on questions of methodology. The book combines 20 essays written by selected international scholars engaged in ambitious and methodologically innovative doctoral and post-doctoral research on contemporary Chinese art. Their multi-faceted, in part interdisciplinary approaches are complemented by four contributions of distinguished critical practitioners in the field, who--as art curators and critics--are located in China.
