A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework
A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework explores the ways specialists and institutions in the fine arts, curation, cultural studies, and art history have attempted to situate art in a more global framework since the 1980s. Offering analyses of the successes and setbacks of these efforts to globalize the art world, this innovative volume presents a new and exciting way of considering art in its global contexts. Essays by an internati…

Global’ Discourse and the Transcultural Field of Contemporary Art in China
The recent influx of publications on the subject of China’s contemporary art attests to the remarkable growth of Chinese artistic expression in the last thirty or so years. This development now compels a rearview assessment in the aftermath of Deng Xiaoping’s gaige kaifang (opening up and reform after 1978). The two exemplary monographs under review were written by authors who share close parallels in their research topics but vast differences in…

The body of the archive
This article examines the function of the Venice Biennale as an ‘archive’ for documenting diasporic Chineseness: establishing a body of work by the Zhongguo ren gongtong ti ‘community of Chinese’ during the period of the 1990s to the mid-2000s when Chinese states were first included in the Biennale roster. The difference between cultural and national identity can be explored through the statist distinctions of the island-nation of Taiwan, the spe…
Affirmative Precarity
Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds (2010) and Margarita Cabrera’s Florezca (2011) are two performative works that exemplify a change in priorities in terms of the ways in which art conveys beauty and truth within the conditions of precarious life. In these works, the subject of the artisan/labourer is staged to complicate the mainstream views of China and Mexico as the derogated zones of labour, whereby the outsource worker and the undocumented worker a…
Displacements of the Desiring Machine
The ‘cinematic gaze’ can be conceived today as a kind of metaphorical practice, particularly in relation to viewing Patty Chang's video artwork In Love (2001). Chang's artistic expression theatricalizes familial love and reveals how bodily inscriptions of sexuality and ‘race’ are still predetermined by an affected gaze. The original site of the ‘cinema of displacement’ was in the substitute of film wherein the erotic fantasy elicited from the cin…
The Global Art Fair and the Dialectical Image
The notion that the global art fair is the new entity for the globalised art institution – biennials and triennials transcending old nationalist orders for art – requires a better understanding of their historical structures. Rather than a product of innovation, its organising principle originated in the nineteenth century when nearly every colonial world exposition included palaces devoted to fine art. The art fairs inhabit the ‘image as dialect…
