The China Phenomenon

Co-edited by Binghui Huangfu & Stephanie Britton. The artworld has acquired a new set of players - Chinese artists who have adopted western modes without relinquishing their traditional Chinese training and discipline. The success of these practitioners has been astounding. In a few years they have risen to prominence in many countries.

We compare and contrast the work of the diasporic artists with those still living in Mainland China who are also participating in the international arena. Exhibitions, biennials, installation art and residencies are all part of the mix from Sydney to New York via Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, Tokyo and Berlin.
