While contemporary Chinese art has arrived as a critical subject in
art history and found market success, current art criticism has yet
to fully engage with art made by Chinese women, especially from the
perspective of gender politics. In "(En)gendering: Chinese Women's
Art in the Making," contributors-including artists, art historians,
critics, and curators-consider how the work of contemporary women
artists has generated new approaches to and perspectives on the
Chinese art canon. The issue begins by laying a historical
framework for the potentials and problems regarding the
interpretation of Chinese women's art, tracing its evolution
throughout a century of Chinese history. Next, the issue considers
the spatial notion of boundary crossing, addressing how travel
across national and theoretical boundaries affects the perception
of artworks, and explores the misgivings of Chinese women artists
about participating in a global exhibition system in which their
artwork stands for "China" and "Women." The issue concludes by
looking at the idea of (en)gendering as a revision of women's art
prompting artists and the viewers of women's artworks to challenge
the conventional gaze that has dominated our ways of seeing. The
issue considers the work of Chinese artists such as Lin Tianmiao,
Lei Yan, Yin Xiuzhen, Cui Xiuwen, Yu Hong, and Liu Manwen.
