The market for contemporary Chinese art is one of the
fastest-growing internationally, attracting buyers from all over
the world, including, increasingly, from within China itself. There
are thriving artistic communities in major cities throughout China,
most notably Beijing's world famous 798 Art Zone. Meanwhile, the
arrest and secret detention in 2011 of artist Ai Weiwei focused
attention on China's politics and issues of state control. This
book sheds light on the development of Chinese art since Deng
Xiaoping's policy of 'Opening and Reform' was confirmed in 1978,
putting the art into context within China and internationally. Paul
Gladston provides a critical mapping of ideas and practices that
have shaped contemporary Chinese art, showing how they bind the art
- as a consequence of artistic complicity and/or resistance - to
structures of power and state not just within but also outside
China. While the principal focus is on art produced by artists from
mainland China, the book also discusses contemporary art made by
artists from Taiwan and Hong Kong-Macau, as well others belonging
to diasporic Chinese communities. Unravelling the complexities of
politics, artistic practice and Chinese culture, Contemporary
Chinese Art is an essential companion for readers interested in
contemporary art or Chinese culture, history or politics.
