1998 “Inside Out: New Chinese Art” [English only]
Inside Out is the catalog for a groundbreaking exhibition organized by the Asia Society in New York, with venues also in San Francisco, Seattle, and Monterrey, Mexico. It discusses the first major presentation in the West of contemporary Chinese art and is the most important critique of the field to date. As they pursue their personal visions, Chinese artists tread between two extremes: embracing or rejecting their classical tradition. It is not easy for a Chinese artist to break away from such a rich treasury. For example, many works in the show deal with the written word–that most valued of China’s art forms, with its dual connotations of calligraphic beauty and obsessive ritualistic copying. Song Dong writes on a flat stone with water that quickly evaporates; Xu Bing invents witty, new, but meaningless characters. Understanding a work may require acquaintance with the classics: a suspended boat impaled with arrows harks back to a third-century general who sent straw-filled boats down-river to attract hostile fire, retrieved the boats, and collected his enemies’ arrows to use against them. There is an implicit anti-West message here. Other works, including installation, video, and performance art, have universal connotations that owe nothing to Chinese conventions. Contemporary Chinese art has been around for less than 20 years, but the freshness and variety of the work described in this book indicate that an original new force has joined the global art community.

2003《中国及多主义》”Chinese Maximalism” [Chinese only]中国的“抽象艺术”究竟发展如何?中国的艺术家们又是如何理解“抽象艺术”的呢?《中国极多主义》将“极多主义”作为中 国当代“抽象艺术”的一种基本方法论,并以此展开了对中国式的“抽象艺术”的审视分析。想要了解中国的“抽象艺术”,不妨翻开这本——《中国极多主义》。
《中国极多主义》从当代艺术的背景、中国传统的思维方式和与西方抽象艺术的差异等不同角度分析了这些中国“抽象艺术”的“极多主义”特点。作者从艺术家的 具体观念和作品出发,从作品本身与创作背景之间的语境关系的角度去剖析这一独特的艺术现象及其发生的“意义”。作者指出,中国“极多主义”艺术既不是一种 自我表现,也不是一种对外部世界的“抽象”再现,而是这些艺术家的艺术哲学和生活哲学的不可分的一部分。它是传统和当代经验的融合,是建树具有“中国性” 的艺术方法论的探索结晶。“极多主义”以其极端的“重复”、“过程”、“数量”等语言形式对当代文化艺术中至今仍然充斥着的庸俗语义学时尚进行了消解性的 批判。同时,“极多主义”艺术也启发我们去思考建立当代新的艺术本位意识和艺术家人格意识的重要性和迫切性。

后记
“Chinese Maximalism” analyzes the characteristics of these “Chinese” “maximalists” through the different angles of contemporary background, Chinese traditional thought and its differences from Western abstract art. The author takes off from specific theories and works, and from the angles of the contextual relationship between the works themselves and their creative contexts, analyze this unique artistic phenomenon and its “significance.” The author points out, Chinese “Maximalist” art is not a personal expression, and neither is it an “abstract” representation of the exterior world, but is an inseparable part of these artists’ artistic philosophy and life philosophy. It is an exploration of the crystallization of an an artistic method that contributes to the fusion of the traditional and contemporary. Until today, “Chinese Maximalism” and extreme repetition, process, quantity and other linguistic forms filled with dismissive criticisms of a semantic fashion. At the same time, art inspired us to think about the establishment of a new contemporary art and the importance of and sense of urgency in artists’ personal awareness. (translation mine)

2005《墙:中国当代艺术的历史与边界》“The Wall: Reshaping Contemporary Art” [双语][English + Chinese]
Gao Minglu has curated several major exhibitions of Chinese contemporary art, including China/Avant-Garde in Beijing and Inside Out: New Chinese Art, at the Asia Society in New York, but The Wall: Reshaping Contemporary Chinese Art is the largest such exhibition ever held beyond the borders of China itself. Minglu, the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy and the Millennium Art Museum in Beijing have organized a landmark first collaboration on contemporary Chinese art between American museums and a major Chinese art institution. The results are good: The Wall addresses the work of more than 50 Chinese artists in media from the classic–painting, sculpture and works on paper–to the kinetic and ephemeral–video, installation, performance and film.
This is the catalogue of a traveling exhibition showcasing works by both established and young, under-exhibited artists from China (including Hong Kong). The texts explore from multiple perspectives the development of Chinese experimental art in the period 1985-2005. A chronology of Chinese conceptual art (1976-2004), a Bibliography on 20th century Chinese Art, and artist biographies are provided. (Promotional text)
2005《中国当代最具影响的100位艺术家肖像》 “100 Most Influential Chinese Contemporary Artists” [Chinese Only]
Gao Minglu has profiled the “100 Most Influential Chinese Contemporary Artists” with full-page portraits of themselves contrasted with one significantly smaller image of their works. Artist profiles include a one or two sentence editorial description of their work, and a selected artist’s biography. (my synopsis)
2006《墙:中国当代艺术的历史与边界》 “The Wall: Reshaping Contemporary Art” [Chinese Only]本书是一本史料翔实、方法独特的当代美术史著作。作者试图把现代性研究与艺术史写作有机结合在一起,提出了中国现代性的“整一 性”特点,并且以中国现代性的差异性作为一种方法论,以“墙”的空间观念为依托,分析中国现代性作为一种空间意识如何不断地建构中国现当代艺术的历史和边 界。书中涉及许多中国现当代艺术研究中的重要问题,比如,中国先锋艺术如何在双重体制的复杂空间中生存;现实主义艺术在迅速变化的社会中如何调整其再现的 哲学;传统符号怎样被挪用为当代艺术空间;中国的观念艺术如何整合禅宗和反艺术理论,以求跨越艺术和生活的边界;当代艺术如何“虚拟”现代都市奇观及其错 位现象;怎样认识处于全球文化冲击下的文化“边缘人”和“女性艺术”现象等。

2007 《“无名”:一个悲剧前卫的历史》 “The No Name: A History of a Self-exiled Avantgarde” [Chinese + English]在中国当代艺术史上,无名画会是第一个在野的艺术团体。它比星星画会更早。在“文化大革命”期间,他们与“文革”艺术反其道而行之,倡导“为艺术而 艺术”。多年来,这些艺术家默默地作画,很少参与公开的艺术活动。另一方面,这些艺术家的“纯艺术”观念也和过去二十年注重社会性的时尚艺术思潮不相符。 所以,直至今日,人们对无名画会仍很陌生,无名画会的活动历史、艺术家成员、他们的艺术作品和艺术观更是鲜为人知。
本书对“无名画会”的历史、艺术观念和创作实践进行客观、全面的介绍和研究,力求还原中国当代艺术的早期历史,揭开20世纪六七十年代被“文革”政治艺术 所遮蔽和被当代美术史所忽视的一个重要侧面。这本书的出版,将改变有关中国当代艺术起源的论述。

Thanks so much for giving everyone a very wonderful possiblity to read critical reviews from here. It is often very pleasant and full of fun for me personally and my office fellow workers to visit your blog more than three times weekly to see the new issues you have got. Of course, I’m just certainly fascinated with all the amazing techniques you serve. Certain two ideas in this post are rather the most effective I’ve had.
Hi there, thankful i came across your web blog. It helped me to learn this issue a bit better.
