Beschreibungen/Notizen

• To read the work of Chinese nonconforming artists at the turn of the twenty-first century as doing nothing but testing the limits of tolerance is to do the art an injustice and to deprive oneself of a lesson on the possible functions of and, hence, the nature of art. The evidence for this can be found by looking at the art of the Chinese avant-garde as a series of subversions of the claims of certain beliefs to be true.
