In the West, the evolution from Modern to Contemporary art has been in motion for a century; a similar evolution in China, from state-sponsored Realism to the creation of a myriad of forms and movements, began just 25 years ago with the dissolution of The Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s. The eyes of the international art world are now trained on this transformation, which is discussed here in depth by critic and writer Carol Lu, and in interviews with the artists who are making it happen, including Yin Xiuzhen, Sun Yuan and Peng Yu, Xin Danwen, Mu Chen and Shao Yinong, Zhang Wang, Weng Feng, Li Song Song, Shi Jingsong, Chi Peng, Zhang Hui, Liu Wei, Miao Xiaochung, Shi Guorui, Jin Jiangbo, Liu Jianhua, Leung Mee Ping, Bai Yiluo and Wang Gonxin. This richly illustrated volume surveys recent trends in contemporary Chinese art with a focus on installation art and staged photography. All of the works presented here were made after 2000, and many of them were in fact commissioned by Holland's Groninger Museum for its part in the multi-tiered exploration of Chinese culture being mounted in the Netherlands in 2008.

Born in 1957, Beijing-based Ai Weiwei is perhaps the most internationally visible contemporary Chinese artist. Philip Tinari has described his practice as a, "multitasking sprawl--encompassing artmaking, curating, publishing and architectural design--[that] threatens to answer the vaguely unsettling question, What would Andy Warhol's career have looked like if it had played out in turn-of-the-millennium China? (For one thing, architecture might have stood in for film; where Warhol created an alter-Hollywood, Ai is a self-invented starchitect)." After spending the early 1980s in New York, Ai moved back to Beijing in 1994. Already an important member of the Stars group, a socially critical movement that borrowed heavily from western art and culture, he established the famed China Art Archives and Warehouse in 1997. In 2000, on the occasion of the Shanghai Biennale, he organized the attention-grabbing group exhibition Fuck Off in collaboration with curator Feng Boyi. More recently, he was involved in the design of the Olympic Stadium in Beijing by Herzog & de Meuron. This publication takes an in-depth look at Ai's under-explored engagement with ceramics, and is published on the occasion of a solo exhibition of his recent ceramic work at Holland's Groningen Museum.
