Past In Reverse Contemporary Art Of East Asia

Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asiafeatures 22 artists and artist groups from Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. As strategies for incorporating cultural and artistic genealogies in their work, these practitioners variously access traditional materials and techniques, established philosophical underpinnings and behaviors surrounding the production and use of material culture. The region's cultural hybridization is asserted in their declaration that East and West are not separate and that the one is embedded in the other. Art historical interdependencies within the region, in relationship to current systems of global connectivity, supply a dynamic framework for understanding these works of art.Piranio, Michelle is the author of 'Past In Reverse Contemporary Art Of East Asia', published 0017 under ISBN 9780937108338 and ISBN 0937108332.
