Contemporary Chinese Art has been evolving rapidly over the last few decades, and two prominent lines of engagements have emerged. The first line shows artists who challenge and confront intense socio-political situations of China; they confront global forces with individualistic artistry. The second line shows artists who attempt to construct their own artistic niches and global expressions of peace and other humanist concerns. This talk introduces these parallel lines of engagements, illustrating the ways Chinese artists discuss their art works since 1980s.

ZHANG Fang, writer and art critic/historian, is Hughes Scholar (2016-2017) at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Zhang has published quite extensively in foreign and Chinese journals introducing the China syndrome which are compounded by multi-faced social, political, economic and cultural diaspora.
