Many assume that Chinese contemporary art emerged five years ago when the market was established through record-breaking auctions but this belies a much longer history. Melissa Chiu's lecture is designed to shed light on the early experimental developments in the Chinese art world through an analysis of the past three decades with specific attention on how these artists responded to local conditions while also keenly aware of their international audiences.
