Timothy Shea

Timothy Shea is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego where he studies modern and contemporary Chinese art. His dissertation, New Space: Locating Avant-Garde Artist,s in China’s Art Academies, 1977–1985, traces the role of art academies in the development of experimental artistic practices and an avant-garde art world in early post-Mao China. His research focuses broadly on institutions and art worlds in China with a particular interest in how they are constituted through local, regional, and global interactions in the People’s Republic of China. Shea’s recent work includes writing and presentations on the Long March Project, Gu Wenda’s early installation works, the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art, and an essay, “Re-framing the Ordinary: The Place and Time of ‘Art Photography’ in the Liangyou Pictorial, 1926–1930” in the edited volume Liangyou: Kaleidoscopic Modernity and the Shanghai Global Metropolis, 1926-1945 (Brill, 2013).
