Contemporary Art in China: Where has it come from and where is it heading?
Dr. Melissa Chiu will speak at the University of Michigan.
When:
November 4, 2009 6:30pm to 8:30pm
Dr. Melissa Chiu, Museum Director and Vice President of Global Art Programs, Asia Society Museum, New York
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.
