Biography:
Huang Rui (b.1952, Beijing) is an artist, curator and writer, based in Beijing.

Huang was one of the principal organizers of the Stars Group and 'Stars' exhibition in 1979. The 'Stars' exhibitions, of which the second took place in 1980 at the National Art Museum of China, were groundbreaking for introducing new artistic forms and subject matter in the post-Mao era. In 1984, Huang moved to Japan and was mostly a painter throughout the 1980s.  In the '90s, Huang began to experiment with installation, performance, photography and printmaking.

After returning to Beijing, Huang established his studio and the 798 Space Gallery in the 798 (Dashanzi) Art District in 2002. Since 2004, he has been on the organizing committee of the Dashanzi International Art Festival and an active force in the development of this art zone.

Context

In 2006, Asia Art Archive began a focused archiving project called 'Materials of the Future: Documenting Contemporary Chinese Art from 1980-1990'. This project aimed at developing a comprehensive collection of primary research materials including books, periodicals, newspapers, exhibition brochures, invitations, video recordings, correspondence, and other relevant documents. 

As part of this project, AAA digitised more than 80,000 items of material from personal archives to include artists Mao Xuhui, Wu Shanzhuan, Zhang Xiaogang, and Zhang Peili; curators and critics Fei Dawei, Lu Peng, and Zheng Shengtian; as well as the archives of Tokyo Art Gallery. As part of the research process over 75 in-depth interviews with key artists, curators, and critics were conducted. From a portion of these interviews, AAA created a documentary film about experimental art in South China (Guangzhou) in the 1980s entitled From Jean-Paul Sartre to Teresa Teng: Contemporary Cantonese Art in the 1980s.

AAA’s 1980s archiving project culminated with the launch of a comprehensive website portal called www.china1980s.org in September 2010.
