Professor Jason Kuo co-edits newly published proceedings of the conference "ReThinking Displays of Contemporary Chinese Art"

The provocations of a successful international conference are now available in print

Professor Jason Kuo, along with distinguished colleagues in the field, have co-edited a volume of essays focused on the curation and display of Chinese contemporary art.

This is the first edited collection to critically address in its entirety questions related to the displaying of Chinese contemporary art. It includes chapters by scholars and cultural workers from diverse backgrounds involved in the interpretation of artistic as well as curatorial discourses and practices. Each of those chapters gives a detailed account of a particular, socio-culturally informed, approach to the making and showing of Chinese art - including in relation to queer identities, transculturality, the use of social media, artivism, social engagement, institutional critique, and neo-Confucian aesthetics. Together they present a vital intervention with established curatorship amidst the intensely interconnected and increasingly multi-polar cultural conditionalities of early 21^st-century contemporaneity.

Published as part of the Contemporary East Asian Visual Cultures, Societies and Politics by Palgrave Macmillan Singapore and distributed through SpringerLink.

Congratulations Professor Kuo!
