Expanding the 1980s: The Landscape of Art in China and East Asia
‘Expanding the 1980s: The Landscape of Art in China and East Asia’ returns the focus to the development of contemporary Chinese art in relation to its surrounding countries during the crucial transitional period of the 1980’s. Beginning with a look at the political and cultural changes during the decade in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the symposium aims to examine the subtle ties between contemporary Chinese art and the modernist movements from the prewar period, and explore the different individual art practices in terms of how they were influenced by political transitions in history. At the same time, it will also probe into the cultural and political landscape in Japan and Korea during the final years of the Cold War and the beginning of globalisation, as part of M+’s sustained comparative studies of differences as well as parallels and similarities between artistic practices in these neighboring countries in the region, before the rise of the age of globalisation and frequent and free exchanges between them.
