When Contemporary Art Practices Meet Ethnographic Research in Chinese Society

Volume 17, Number 2, March/April 2018
by Yuling Zhong


Article Description

An essay by Yuling Zhong on recent ethnographic practices within the art making process. Zhong looks into the artistic process in order to understand how artists locate themselves within their fieldwork, how they collaborate with anthropologists to tackle the postcolonized assumption of establishing a stable national identity, and explore the non-Western articulations of modernity and how they reflect upon the knowledge production and politics of representation within contemporary art and anthropology.
