How Chinese is contemporary Chinese art? Treasured by collectors, critics, and art world cognoscenti, this art developed within an avant-garde that looked West to find a language to strike out against government control. Traditionally, Chinese artistic expression has been related to the structure and function of the Chinese language and the assumptions of Chinese natural cosmology. Is contemporary Chinese art rooted in these traditions or is it an example of cultural self-colonization? Contributors to this volume address this question, going beyond the more obvious political and social commentaries on contemporary Chinese art to find resonances between contemporary artistic ideas and the indigenous sources of Chinese cultural self-understanding.Focusing in particular on the acclaimed artist Xu Bing, this book looks at how he and his peers have navigated between two different cultural sites to establish a third place, a place from which to appropriate Western ideas and use them to address centuries-old Chinese cultural issues within a Chinese cultural discourse.

Absorbing critical essays on contemporary Chinese aesthetics addressing the social context and philosophical concerns that underlie Xu Bing’s key works.

The history of drawing, in common with the history of much else, is the history of what has survived.' In the sixteenth century, drawings came to be valued as works of art in their own right. In recognition of this, collectors through time have ensured the preservation of countless drawings. This book takes us through the process of drawing as a functional art of lines. Through the journey from figure to landscape, sketch to meticulously detailed piece and from the artist's studio to the collector's vast portfolio, the exhibition examines what has survived and raises questions about the value of what has been lost. Examining the value of a drawing, the book charters the growth in appreciation of this undefined form and offers insight into the vision of both the artist and the collector. This 184 page catalogue features all the prints on display in the 2013 Ashmolean Master Drawings exhibition.

The idea for an exhibition based on a trip by a multinational group of artists to the Himalayan mountains in Nepal has been under discussion at Kiasma since as long age as 1995. The original idea came from the artist Jussi Heikkilä. This was further developed together with him into the form in which its first phase, i.e. the trip to the Himalayas, took place in October 1999. Those who embarked on the trip, apart from Heikkilä, were Xu Bing, Honoré d'O, Simryn Gill, Hans Hamid Rasmussen and Liisa Roberts.
