'This is the first anthology regarding contemporary art criticism and in Chinese by Wu Hong, who is an art historian, an art critic and a curator. The book complies 15 recent essays on art criticism written from two different perspectives, namely art works and art exhibitions. Wu illustrates clear theorizing and historical vision in a plain writing style, providing with readers a significant literature for understanding Chinese contemporary art. The book responds to questions like "why is contemporary art called "contemporary"? What is unique about Chinese contemporary art? What is "experimental exhibition"? What is the relationship between art works and the exhibition venue?", and provides answers supported by historical evidence and photos. Not only is this useful to researchers of Chinese culture and contemporary art, but also people who would like to explore the current development of Chinese contemporary art.' - translated from back cover.
