Five Chinese Researchers Respond to Afterall's Exhibition Histories Series
In China, five curators and researchers have penned responses to Afterall's Exhibition Histories publications, commissioned by the Inside-Out Art Museum in Beijing. Each contribution delves into a distinct book from the series, providing fresh insights into the authors' practices within a Chinese framework. These writings were released in conjunction with the exhibition 'Afterall Exhibition Histories and its Worlds,' co-curated by Huang Wenlong and Scarly Zhou. The contributions feature: Huiyu Cara Zhao discussing Anti-Shows: APTART, 1982–84; Huang Wenlong on From Conceptualism to Feminism: Lucy Lippard's Numbers Shows 1969–74; Wan Feng covering Artist-to-Artist: Independent Art Festivals in Chiang Mai 1992-98; He Yining on Making Art Global Part 2: 'Magiciens de la terre' 1989; and Nie Xiaoyi addressing Uncooperative Contemporaries: Art Exhibitions in Shanghai in 2000.
