In exhibitions on four continents, Xu Bing's printed art, mixed-media installations, and performance pieces - from books and calligraphic sculptures to inscribed pigs - have fascinated specialists and general audiences alike and generated a growing body of literature. This volume presents the first multidisciplinary study of Xu Bing's art and its intellectual implications. Included is an account by Xu Bing of his own work, as well as essays by leading scholars in a number of different fields.
The essays address the place of this work within the long history of Chinese calligraphic practice, examine it in the context of Chinese intellectual dissidence, discuss Japanese avant-garde parallels, and judge it from a Western art-historical viewpoint.
