  Li Ming’s “X X” reviewed at Artforum.com»

  Eleven videos and sporadic accoutrements litter the floor of this exhibition by the emerging artist Li Ming. A television, cast in the bushes outside the gallery entrance, screens Back Garden, 2008, in which security guards, recurring characters in the artist’s vignettes, romp around the gardens of a residential compound in unintelligible acts of “play.”

  60 Years of Chinese Fine Arts»

  On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic, things are beginning to look red here in Beijing, deep red, like a profuse wound. On the Beijing streets, some of the visual celebratory feast residents drank in last year during the Olympics is being recreated in billboards, […]

  “Kàn Bù Wán” exhibition photos»

  In Chinese pinyin, Kàn Bù Wán literally means, “You can’t finish looking.” These works by the emerging artist Wang Yifan embody the statement—with five 24-hour videos and 20,000 characters written over eleven canvases, it would take one more than 120 hours to see this exhibition in its entirety.

  “New Generation Artists” and Yin Jinan»

  Recently re-reading Yin Jinan’s two critical responses to the Chinese art world, “Knocking on the door alone” (1993) and “Step-motherism” (2000), two books that should be noted for their critical response and theoretical interpretations on the world of Chinese contemporary art. Both books are published by Sanlian Bookstore, are in their 4th and 2nd […]

  China Museums: At Long Last»

  Miriam Clifford, Cathy Giangrande and Antony White, have reportedly spent four years combing through China’s hundreds of museums in a search for the most appealing to Western audiences. The result is an in-depth guide to China’s museums that opens up new territories for English-speaking audiences, presumably Western travelers, but for a special, more adventuresome set interested in witnessing China’s cultural growth from a more native perspective. “China: Museums” includes the major players, such as the Forbidden City as well as Chinese equivalents of what could be called “Roadside museums.”
