Artwork: Incense Mantra, and Xie Xiaoze’s Chinese Library, by Tsai Charwei
Amanda Clark, art historian and scholar will showcase her research on this unique art form. She will cover several works of Chinese book art, broadly defined, including Xu Bing’s Where does the dust itself collect?, Wang Qingsong’s Crazy readers, and Cai Guo-Qiang’s One night stand, among other works that push the margins of how we define and categorize art. The presentation will consider a wide variety of works produced by contemporary Chinese book artists, the paradigms they push against, and the powerful global messages their artworks convey. 3:00–4:00pm (Library Room 020)
