Items related to The Monk and the Demon: Contemporary Chinese Art
This book aims to advance the understanding of the major transformations that have fashioned today’s contemporary art scene in China. Two critics, Feng Boyi and Qiu Zhijie, played a key role in the recognition of contemporary Chinese art within China, grasping its evolution and mapping its new developments.
Most of the works shown in The Monk and the Demon were produced specifically for the occasion, and are photographed in situ at the museum or in the city of Lyon. The publication is also a practical guide listing artists, critics, museums, galleries, reviews and internet sites in Beijing, Shanghai, Canton and many other cities - an exceptional tool for understanding the new contemporary art networks in China.
The catalog The Monk and the Demon is the first to result from the collaboration of a Chinese museum (Art Museum of Canton), a French museum (Lyon’s Musée d’Art Contemporain) and the Ullens Foundation, whose director, Fei Dawei, is the exhibition’s general curator.
Artists featured: Lu Chensheng, Gu Dexin, Song Dong, Yang Fudong, Wang Gongxin, Zhuang Hui, Sui Jianguo, Yang Jiechang, Xie Nanxing, Wang Ningde, Rong Rong & Inri, Lin Yilin, Wang Xingwei, Li Yongbin, Huang Yongping, Shen Yuan, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Liang Yue, Xu Zhen, Yang Zhenhong.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Dieses Buch soll das Verständnis für die großen Veränderungen fördern, die die heutige zeitgenössische Kunstszene in China geprägt haben. Zwei Kritiker, Feng Boyi und Qiu Zhijie, spielten eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Anerkennung der zeitgenössischen chinesischen Kunst in China, indem sie deren Entwicklung erfassten und ihre neuen Entwicklungen aufzeichneten. Die meisten der in »The Monk and the Demon« gezeigten Werke wurden eigens für diesen Anlass produziert und in situ im Museum oder in der Stadt Lyon fotografiert. Die Publikation ist auch ein praktischer Führer, der Künstler, Kritiker, Museen, Galerien, Rezensionen und Internetseiten in Peking, Shanghai, Kanton und vielen anderen Städten auflistet - ein außergewöhnliches Instrument zum Verständnis der neuen Netzwerke zeitgenössischer Kunst in China. Der Katalog »The Monk and the Demon« ist das erste Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit zwischen einem chinesischen Museum (Kunstmuseum von Kanton), einem französischen Museum (Musée dArt Contemporain de Lyon) und der Fondation Ullens, deren Direktor Fei Dawei die Ausstellung kuratiert.
