The Annals of Chen Hangfeng: Exploring History, Economic Change, and Cultural Confluence through the Language of Video

Volume 18, Number 1, January/February 2019
by Rebecca Catching


Article Description

Rebecca Catching takes an extensive look at the work of Chen Hangfeng, an artist who during the past two decades has in a variety of ways tackled his own, and society’s, complex transition in China from the end of the Cultural Revolution to an opening up to rampant capitalist tendencies. While he recognizes serious implications within this important period of history, arising from both within and outside of China, his work is not immune to humour.
