The year 1989 was a turning point in Chinese art : it shifted from modernism or avant-gardism to so called "contemporary art". However, this shift, unlike that in the West after World War Two, wasn't the logical result of post-modernist theories. Art in China may be influenced by Western art, but it is also severely constrained by the state political system and ideology, as well as a particular historical background ; the shift had complex causes, which produced a specific language and artistic forms. This book provide an historical review and analysis of the political and social realities of China since the end of the Cold War, and more specifically after the June 6 suppression of the student movement on Tiananmen Square. This book also analyses the global context of the new century and points out some issues that must be faced in the judgment of Chinese contemporary art.

Performance Art in China takes as its subject one of the most dynamic and controversial areas of experimental art practice in China. In his comprehensive study, Sydney-based theorist and art historian Thomas J. Berghuis introduces and investigates the idea of the "role of the mediated subject of the acting body in art," a notion grounded in the realization that the body is always present in art practice, as well as its subsequent, secondary representations. Through a series of in-depth case studies, Berghuis reveals how, during the past 25 years, Chinese performance artists have "acted out" their art, often in opposition to the principles governing correct behavior in the public domain. In addition to a 25-year chronology of events, a systematic index of places, names and key terms, as well as a bibliography and a glossary in English and Chinese, this study also offers the reader numerous previously unpublished photos and documents.
