    Blood, Sweat and Tears. The Martyred Body in Chinese Performance Art Tania Becker When we speak of offending images in the context of contemporary Chinese art, some of us may remember articles that were published in , voices of outrage in reaction to Zhu Yu’s performance Eating People: Is it art when a man eats a dead baby? london — My God, what kind of society do we live in? A Chinese man eats a dead baby on TV and actually claims it’s art! The announcement alone unleashed one of Great Britain’s hottest debates on the freedom of the media, the press, and art: the British tv Channel wanted to broad- cast the documentary Beijing Swings, which includes photographs of Chinese artist Zhu Yu apparently eating a dead baby. According to Zhu, the corpse is from a miscarriage. In one of the photographs, he’s washing the body in a sink. Another photo shows him biting into a dismembered body part. Zhu has said that the pictures were taken during a perfor- mance titled »Eating Humans« in his house in Beijing. Yesterday, Zhu Yu claimed that as an artist, it’s his job to initiate debates over morality and art. His work involves exploring whether boundaries still exist. It does not, however, seem to bother anyone when this »artist« transgress- es these boundaries. Not even the guardians of the law — because de- spite the fact that artists using human body parts for their art can be sentenced to ten years in prison, nothing happened [...].

Provided by ProQuest Information and Learning. All Rights Reserved. Joe Coleman , the controversial New York-based "shock artist" who performed at the Boston Film/Video Foundation Oct. 29, pleaded guilty yesterday in Roxbury District Court to possession of fireworks and cruelty to animals. He paid a total of $662 in fines and was put on probation for one year. The charge of possession of an inferno machine was dismissed by the Commonwealth. A count of burning of a dwelling was dismissed by the judge, according to Asst. District Attorney Robert Benson, because he saw no "willful or malicious intent." Coleman's wife, Nancy, a co-defendent in the case is in the hospital and could not appear, her attorney said. Her case will be heard June 15. Coleman's act, which is captured on the "Mondo New York" videotape, consisted, in part, of detonating explosives attached to his chest and biting the heads off mice. "The judge said he cannot come into Massachusetts and perform anything related to animals," said Benson. "My understanding was he's not going to perform any 'shock art' in Massachusetts anymore." Asked about Coleman's demeanor, Benson said, "He was very subdued and respectable toward the judge, very humble.

  • A SMALL MAP PIECE of PERFORMANCE ART in CHINA a Study Room Guide by Adele Tan June 2008
    A SMALL MAP PIECE OF PERFORMANCE ART IN CHINA A study room guide by Adele Tan June 2008 Let me begin with a fruit. The fruit in this instance is Grapefruit, Yoko Ono´s visionary 1964 book of art- making instructions for everyone. The Chinese word for fruit is guo （果）and like the English word it too means the result or reward of work or activity such as in the word jie guo ( 结果 ). So how does one begin to look at performance art in China in the selection of material available in the Live Art Development Agency library and make it a productive (fruitful) endeavour without taking the exploratory fun out of it? The history of performance art in China is still in the making and so we might do well not to make it too conclusive. With this in mind, we could perhaps play a version of Yoko Ono’s Map Piece from the summer of 1962… Draw an imaginary map. ●Carla Kirkwood, Chinese Performance Artists - Redrawing the Map of Chinese Culture, 2004, A0119 / P0519 ●Li Wei, Li Wei, 2005, P0191 ●Li Wei, Performance Video Works 2001–2004, D0113 ● Zhu Ming, 1994-2006 Art Works, 2007, P089 ●Zhu Ming, Performance Art Works, 1994-2004, 2004, D0265 ●Zhu Ming, Resume, Articles and Major Works – pictures, D0103 ●Zhu Ming, Unknown Area, July 2003, D0104 Kirkwood’s essay in TheatreForum provides an easy entry point into the performance art scene in China since its initial flourish in the late 1980s. She gives a concise history of its development over the past two decades but makes clear to us that from the get-go, performance art is to be taken in China as socio- politically engaged, critically antagonistic and at the forefront of experimental contemporary Chinese art by virtue of a habitual mode of operating in the margins.

  • British Journal of Chinese Studies, Vol. 9 (2), July 2019 ISSN 2048-0601 © British Association for Chinese Studies
    British Journal of Chinese Studies, Vol. 9 (2), July 2019 ISSN 2048-0601 © British Association for Chinese Studies Bad Citizens and Symbolic Subjects: Wang Jin, Zhou Tiehai, and the Art of (In)Civility Ros Holmes The University of Manchester Abstract This article illuminates the relationship between contemporary art and visual representations of civility in postsocialist China. Focusing on a close visual analysis of two works of art: Wang Jin’s Ice-96 Central Plain (1996) and Zhou Tiehai’s Fake Cover (1996), it examines how artists sought to reject the binary terms with which civility is commonly constructed: between model and shameful forms of deportment, good and bad, spiritual and material, civil and uncivil. Directly challenging the social and political role of civility as it is shaped, imagined and “imaged” in China, it explores how civility plays a pivotal role in making and unmaking citizens and argues that these artists offer a redefinition of civility not as a “discourse of lack” but as a surplus quality, an embodied excess, something which could be performed, parodied or publicly cast off. It therefore stands as an argument for considering the vexed and contested parameters of civility as artists sought to navigate the fraught terrain between ideology and market reforms, consumer citizenship and the exigencies of globalisation. Keywords: China, contemporary art, civility, citizenship, globalisation, public conduct, visibility. On January 28, 1996, a crowd began to gather at the heart of Erqi Square in downtown Zhengzhou. Braving sub-zero temperatures, they arrived cocooned in hats and scarves, down jackets and padded coats. The mood was one of jubilant expectation, heightened by the promise of a commercial spectacle whose much anticipated unveiling had been insistently announced in a flurry of flyers and promotional banners, monopolising the city’s billboards and airwaves, its television screens and newspaper columns in the preceding weeks.

Music Performance – Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University B. Creative Industries (2A Hons) – Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 Abstract ABSTRACT As a performance artist, I have experienced a strong synergy connecting performance artists, the work they make, the network they create and inhabit, and the trust that binds them together. I wanted to discover how that network operated. Therefore, this doctoral research project focuses on the question, “What is the operation of the global performance art network? ” Network theory forms the overarching theoretical framework, with the additional concepts of trust, community, social capital, and performance art playing a key part in the analysis. With no known research into the global performance art network to date, the research will contribute to theory development and practical perspectives in relation to performance art. In addressing the research question, I acknowledge my personal ontology and self-interest in the subject matter. This duality of researcher / participant has allowed for a conscious ethnographic approach to this research. I have adopted a pragmatist paradigm in approaching this research question, which encourages a mixed methods strategy, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, allowing for triangulation of data.

  • Economist Calls National Computer Network 'Vital' a High-Speed Computer Network Linking to Collaborate Over Long Distances
    2 Campus Cornell recycling 4 Freshman CHRONICLE orientation 7 Memory in infancy Volume 20 Number 1 August 25, 1988 Priority rules instituted by Arts College The College of Arts and Sciences has granted admission priority, for about 5 per- cent of its courses, to students enrolled in the college and others for whom those courses are required, Dean Geoffrey V. Ch- ester has explained in a letter distributed this week in student registration packages. The move responds to the sustained de- mand for Arts and Sciences courses by un- dergraduates enrolled in other Cornell col- leges, Chester said. It is intended to mini- mize the impact of that demand on enrolled Arts and Sciences students, he explained. Waiting lists will be kept for the courses for nonpriority students and — when neces- sary — for priority students closed out of the courses, he said. As of Monday, there were 40 specific courses for which the college had set up waiting lists and two more — Introduction to Art History (Art History 260) and May- hem, Myth and Modernism (English 458) — that were listed as closed.

  • Major Trends in the Development of Contemporary Chinese Art
    MAJOR TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ART Li Xianting The art concepts utilised in this discussion are largely derived from the aesthetic and conceptual language of 20th century Western Modernism. This is an acknowledgement of the fact that the language of Modernism has become the international language of art. To a large degree, this reality has dictated the development of modern Chinese art. Yet there is another vitally important phenomenon that has shaped the development of Chinese art in the 20th century, and which explains the qualities of Chinese contemporary art which are different from Western art. Since the end of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), when China's doors were "blown" wide open by the West, China has undergone three major cultural and aesthetic transitions marked by a rejection of an established cultural and aesthetic system and the adoption of a new one, always based on a modern Western system. In the course of this process of adoption and adaptation, the Western system underwent various levels of transformation, so that in the end there has been, enacted on Chinese soil, a cultural dialectic between China and the West marked by a pattern of mutual influence and change. It is the phenomenon of these transitions and the cultural dialectic that they have engendered which sets the evolution of China's contemporary art apart from that of the West. The first of these transitional periods began in the early part of this century, when the May Fourth movement [launched in 1919] raised the flag of anti-feudalist revolt and advocated the use of modern Western cultural ideas as a means of building a new culture for China.
