SUMMARY:Traditions of the Avant-Garde: Radicals and Experimentalists in Early Chinese Art
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Sonia Lightfoot Memorial Lecture on Paintings will be given by Professor J P Park of Oxford University.\nVarious kinds of genre-breaking performance art such as John Cage’s 4’33 (1952), Rauschenberg’s Erased De Kooning (1953), and Jackson Pollock’s action paintings (1950s) have been recognized as the epitome of artistic originality in the postmodern era. However, it is less well known that the celebrated creations and performances of recent times have much earlier predecessors in the history of Chinese arts. Those artists and events are rarely addressed, if not completely forgotten or erased from the modern study of art history. This ellipsis in the discipline effectively cloaks and cancels truly provocative artistic expression in East Asia that may predate its Western counterparts by centuries and even millennia.\nThis paper illuminates how and why art history has remained institutionally unchanged in its grand narratives despite claims of being progressive and inclusive, and will further propose that modernities are not the exclusive invention of the West, but creative and analytical constructs that have been envisioned and practiced elsewhere across history.\nThis lecture is kindly sponsored by John Lightfoot and by Woolley and Wallis\n \n
