Photos of our publisher Katy Hsiu-chih Chien and director of the Vancouver Art Gallery Kathleen Bartels presenting the Fourth Yishu Awards for Critical Writing on Contemporary Chinese Art. Two jurors who have extensive experience in the field of contemporary Chinese art each were invited to make a recommendation: Martina Köppel-Yang, an independent scholar and curator with a Ph.D. in East Asian Art from the University of Heidelberg, selected Anthony Yung, and Li Xianting, an internationally renowned scholar, curator, and critic of contemporary Chinese art, selected Cui Cancan. Each award carries a value of $5,000 CAD. The award presentation was followed by a discussion titled “Mainstreaming the Alternative?”, hosted by Yishu’s Editor-in-Chief Keith Wallace. This discussion was part of Asia Art Archive’s Open Platform series that took place on May 15th at Art Basel Hong Kong.
