A lively tour through experimental Chinese photography from the
early 1990s to today  The past thirty years were dynamic,
transformative decades in Chinese photography. Artists exposed to
recent work from around the globe experimented with photography in
newly conceptual and expressive ways, and their art from this
period offers a portrait of a country at a moment of rapid
urbanization, globalization, and cultural foment. A Window Suddenly
Opens reveals the key role that photography has played in
questioning and refashioning the aesthetic and social status quo of
modern Chinese society for the past three decades. Â
Alongside prescient works by Cao Fei, Lin Tianmiao, Rong Rong, Song
Dong, Wang Qingsong, Zhang Huan, Zhang Peili, and many other
artists, essays and interviews by scholars and curators explore the
history of experimental photography in China and the artistic
transformations of the digital age. The book also features texts
written between 1994 and 2014 by Chinese artists, some published
for the first time here in English, which offer essential insights
into their ideas and experiences as they forged new creative paths.

This groundbreaking book, accompanying a major exhibition at the
Hirshhorn, tells the story of the evolution of New York s downtown
art scene in the 1980s from a DIY counterculture in the East
Village to a legitimate gallery business in SoHo. Coinciding with
the rise of modern branding and the onset of the information age,
artists focus on commodities and consumerism began as satire but
came to be much more complex: commodities and associated phenomena,
such as advertising, now served as vessels for ideas, politics, and
personal relationships in brand-new types of painting, sculpture,
photography, installation, and performance. In a book full of
visual surprises, newly commissioned essays shed new light on this
pivotal period: curator Gianni Jetzer provides a comprehensive
overview, while Leah Pires illuminates lesser-known conceptual
collaborations, and Bob Nickas offers an eyewitness account of the
East Village gallery scene. These texts, together with an
illustrated chronology, provide a fresh account of the moment at
which contemporary artists such as Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Peter
Halley, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince,
and Cindy Sherman grabbed the ball from Andy Warhol and ran with
it, changing the rules of the game forever.
Pacific Century - E Ho'amau no Moananiakea is a substantial
publication and catalogue published on the occasion of the Hawai'i
Triennial 2022 (HT22), providing key art historical backgrounds and
contemporary discussions on art, expanding the frame of reference
for the Asia-Pacific region. Curatorial essays by the HT22
co-curators lay out the critical approaches that shaped the
framework of the Triennial with the fluid concept of a Pacific
Century, while a selection of previously published seminal texts by
artists and scholars reflect on the expanded field of art history
in the region. Also included is a newly commissioned conversation
with Homi K. Bhabha, illuminating his theoretical criticism that
continues to carve out a new discursive space where the
marginalized find their agency. Each participating Triennial artist
is included in a dedicated section with an original introductory
text, work information, and images. Pacific Century - E Ho'amau no
Moananiakea/i> will be an essential resource for critical
exploration of contemporary art in Asia-Pacific at large.

The education landscape in the United States has been changing
rapidly in recent decades: student populations have become more
diverse; there has been an explosion of data sources; there is an
intensified focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and
accessibility; educators and policy makers at all levels want more
and better data for evidence-based decision making; and the role of
technology in education has increased dramatically. With awareness
of this changed landscape the Institute of Education Sciences at
the U.S. Department of Education asked the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide a vision for the
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)?the nation's
premier statistical agency for collecting, analyzing, and
disseminating statistics at all levels of education. A Vision and
Roadmap for Education Statistics (2022) reviews developments in
using alternative data sources, considers recent trends and future
priorities, and suggests changes to NCES's programs and operations,
with a focus on NCES's statistical programs. The report reimagines
NCES as a leader in the 21st century education data ecosystem,
where it can meet the growing demands for policy-relevant
statistical analyses and data to more effectively and efficiently
achieve its mission, especially in light of the Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 and the 2021 Presidential
Executive Order on advancing racial equity. The report provides
strategic advice for NCES in all aspects of the agency's work
including modernization, stakeholder engagement, and the resources
necessary to complete its mission and meet the current and future
challenges in education. Table of Contents Front Matter Synopsis

A groundbreaking look at art made in China during the Cultural
Revolution Although numerous books on the Cultural Revolution have
been published, they do not analyze the profound shift in aesthetic
values that occurred in China after the Communists took power. This
fascinating book is the first to focus on artwork produced from the
1950s to the 1970s, when Mao Zedong was in leadership, and argues
that important contributions were made during this period that
require fuller consideration in Chinese art history, especially
with relevance to the contemporary world. Previously, historians
have tended to dismiss the art of the Cultural Revolution as pure
propaganda. The authors of this volume (historians, art historians,
and artists) argue that while much art produced during this time
was infused with politics, and individual creativity and displays
of free thought were sometimes stifled and even punished, it is
short sighted to overlook the aesthetic sophistication, diversity,
and accessibility of much of the imagery. Bringing together more
than 200 extraordinary artworks, including oil paintings, ink
scroll paintings, artist sketchbooks, posters, and objects from
daily life, as well as primary documentation that has not been
published outside of China or seen since the mid-20th century, this
invaluable volume sheds new light on one of the most controversial
and critical periods in history. Published in association with the

Accompanying the first U.S. museum exhibition devoted to
contemporary art from Pakistan, this dynamic catalogue provides a
groundbreaking look at recent and current trends in Pakistani art.
Hanging Fire covers a fascinating range of subjects and media, from
installation and video art to sculpture, drawing, and paintings in
the "contemporary miniature" tradition. Essays by distinguished
contributors from a variety of fields, including Salima Hashmi,
Pakistani-American sociologist and historian Ayesha Jalal, and the
celebrated novelist Mohsin Hamid, place contemporary Pakistani art
in a cultural, historical, and artistic perspective. The book's
title, Hanging Fire, alludes to the contemporary economic,
political, and social tensions--both local and global--from which
these artists find their creative inspiration. It may also suggest
to the viewer to delay judgment, particularly based on assumptions
or preconceived notions about contemporary society and artistic
expression in Pakistan today. Distributed for the Asia Society
