To commerate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the journal Late Imperial China and the Society for Qing Studies, this workshop, created by Johns Hopkins University's East Asian Studies Program and Department of History, will reflect on the place of Ming-Qing China in global and regional histories, titled “Early Modern China in the Late Imperial World.”

Professor of Rhetoric Winnie Wong specializes in the history and present of artistic authorship, with a focus on interactions between China and the West. Her book, Van Gogh on Demand: China and the Readymade (University of Chicago Press, 2014), explores contemporary art in the world's largest production center for oil-on-canvas painting, Dafen village, China.

This talk is part of the Stanford China Program Winter 2009 China Seminar Series titled "30 Years of Reform and Opening in China: How Far from the Cage?"

The Guggenheim presents "Tales of Our Time," which will display new works by artists hailing from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This exhibition will offer a heterogeneous view of contemporary art from China and explore tensions between individual narratives and the constructions of mainstream history.
