    Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Chair Ann Anagnost Stevan Harrell Danny Hoffman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2018 Darren T. Byler University of Washington Abstract Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies This study argues that Uyghurs, a Turkic-Muslim group in contemporary Northwest China, and the city of Ürümchi have become the object of what the study names “terror capitalism.” This argument is supported by evidence of both the way state-directed economic investment and security infrastructures (pass-book systems, webs of technological surveillance, urban cleansing processes and mass internment camps) have shaped self-representation among Uyghur migrants and Han settlers in the city. It analyzes these human engineering and urban planning projects and the way their effects are contested in new media, film, television, photography and literature. It finds that this form of capitalist production utilizes the discourse of terror to justify state investment in a wide array of policing and social engineering systems that employs millions of state security workers. The project also presents a theoretical model for understanding how Uyghurs use cultural production to both build and refuse the development of this new economic formation and accompanying forms of gendered, ethno-racial violence.

  • Judit Reigl: Artist Biography by Janos Gat
    Judit Reigl: Artist Biography by Janos Gat Upon seeing works from Judit Reigl’s Center of Dominance series (1958–59), the great violist, Yossi Gutmann, exclaimed, “Here is someone who paints exactly the way I play. I don’t produce the sound; the sound carries me. I don’t change the tonality; the tonality changes me.” Judit Reigl, who often applies musical terms to painting, said she could not have put it better, explaining, “Time is given to us as a present that demands equal return. When I paint, fully present in every moment, I can live every moment in the present. What I do, anyone could do, but nobody does. I turn into my own instrument. Destroying as I make, taking from what I add, I erase my traces. I intervene in order to simplify. The control I exercise in each stroke of paint is like the pianist’s when touching a key. You are one with the key, the hammer and the wire. You are in a knot with the composer and the listener, forever unraveling. The chord matches your state and the sound your existence.”1 The flux motif is paramount in the Reigl Saga. According to family lore, Reigl’s father’s ancestors were aristocratic refugees from revolutionary France, sheltered on the princely estate of Eszterháza. Her mother came from a Saxon settlement in northeastern Hungary that kept its German language and culture intact over eight centuries. At the start of World War I, Judit’s father, entombed for three days beneath the rubble of an explosion at Przemysl, miraculously rose from the dead.2 A prisoner of war in Siberia for six years after his resurrection, he escaped repeatedly and fought his way home through civil-war-torn Russia.

It has taken NanHai and exhibiting artists more than one year to prepare for this exhibition, not to mention the energy and cost involved in international communication and logistics. Why did we spend so much time and effort to present Liu Kuo-sung? It can be traced back to when NanHai underwent the soul-searching process to reconfirm its mission. At that time, the first name that came to my mind was Liu Kuo-sung. As one of the earliest and most important advocates and practitioners of modernist Chinese painting, Liu has perfectly transcended Eastern and Western, tradition and modernity, established a new tradition of Chinese ink painting and successfully brought it to the center of the international art scene. Liu’s groundbreaking body of work best echoes NanHai’s commitment to present artworks that reflect the unique aesthetics of Chinese art while transcending cultural and artistic boundaries with a contemporary sensibility.

  • 7386 Toko Shinoda Sakuhin (Work) Ink and Colour on Silver Leaf Signed to to Lower Right
    7386 Toko Shinoda sakuhin (work) ink and colour on silver leaf signed To to lower right H. 17¾" x W. 12" (45cm x 30cm) accompanied by a certificate of registration from Shinoda Toko Kantei Iinkai (Toko Shinoda Appraisal Committee) No.STK16-022 Toko Shinoda (b.1913) was born in Manchuria and moved with her family to Tokyo in 1914. Her father was a keen calligrapher and his interest encouraged Shinoda to practise calligraphy from the age of six years old. By her early twenties she was an independent calligraphy teacher and against her father's wishes decided not to marry but to pursue a career as an artist instead. Shinoda had her first solo calligraphy exhibition in 1936 at Kyukyodo Gallery, Tokyo, and by 1945 she was producing work which departed significantly from the rigid forms of traditional brushwork. Following numerous solo exhibitions of calligraphy her work started to change and in her early forties the focus moved to compositions consisting mainly of thin freely applied brushstrokes. Having a strong-willed character and a desire to develop her creativity beyond the limitations of classical calligraphy and its restrains, Shinoda decided to break away and begun to produce abstract works using traditional materials. This development received severe criticism from the established calligraphy circles of Japan, however her work was recognised by major international art institutions and she was included in two exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1953 and 1954 respectively. In 1956 Shinoda moved to New York where she would be free to further develop her artistic expression and mingle with people who believed in and supported her work such as the painter Franz Kline (1910-1962) and long-term dealer and friend Norman Tolman.

We show that return rates do not depend systematically on past prices or the place of sale, but we emphasize substantial differences in returns across sectors. We also control for changes in transaction costs (buyers' premiums and artists' resale rights), characteristics of the sale (evening sales, price guarantees and past bought-ins) and news on the lots (changed attributions, public exhibitions or death of the author) that appear reflected in art returns. We confirm the absence of masterpiece effects in American, Chinese and Ethnic art. Finally, using historical data on prices during Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical periods, we find evidence that price changes are independent from initial prices also in the long run.

The exhibition consists of 10 paintings spanning the years from 1956 to 1992 painted by Zhu Qizhan (1892-1996) from the age of sixty-five to the age of one hundred and one. Each work was acquired directly from the artist. During Master Zhu’s long career as an artist he painted with a radiance and brilliance that invigorated and transformed all his subject matter. Despite his quiet and kind manner, Master Zhu transformed modern Chinese painting. His fertile and ineffable imagination bridged East and West, past and present, and connoisseur and creator. He encouraged continuous challenge and development in the artistic tradition in order to ensure the continuing vitality of Chinese painting for the future. In the final two years of his life, Zhu Qizhan was fortunate to witness worldwide appreciation for his life-long devotion to art. Solo exhibitions at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco were held in his honor. Indeed, he was present in May of 1995 for an ultimate tribute from the Chinese government, the Zhu Qizhan (1892-1996), Artist in Landscape, 1956, Ink and color on paper, 35.5 x 28 in (90 x 71 cm) opening of the Zhu Qizhan Museum of Art in Shanghai.
