Room for Another View: China’s Art in Disciplinary Perspective
This conference seeks to explore meta-disciplinary perspectives around such topics as academies, print, landscape, gardens, fashion, canons, and the language of art itself.
Where
Following decades of multicultural scholarship, History of Art seems poised to move beyond nation-centered narratives. For this purpose the rich record of artistic practice in China offers fertile ground for speculation. If we know, for instance, that landscape painting, art collecting, and critical writing emerged independently at two ends of the Eurasian Continent, will it now be possible to develop meta-theories of “landscape” or “pictorial realism”? Or is the language of art inextricably linked to culturally distinct cognitive and visual practices? This conference seeks to explore meta-disciplinary perspectives around such topics as academies, print, landscape, gardens, fashion, canons, and the language of art itself.
