Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. 303 pages, illustrations (some colour); 28 cm. Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Princeton University Art Museum, March 5 to June 7, 2009. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A large-format coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "The art world is currently enthralled with contemporary Chinese art. This thought-provoking book argues, however, that American audiences have been exposed only to a narrow range of what is available - with the majority of attention having been given to 'avant-garde,' 'experimental,' or politically charged art. Outside In discusses contemporary Chinese art in a far wider range of styles and subject matter and substantially expands on our understanding of this work. The book features six artists - Arnold Chang, Vannessa Tran, Michael Cherney, Zhi Lin, Liu Dan, and Zhang Hongtu - all of whom are American citizens, yet widely diverse in age and experience as well as geographical and ethnic origins. In addition to extensive personal interviews and artists' statements, there are essays that challenge the categorization of art into such focused genres as 'Chinese,' contemporary,' and 'American,' and reexamine the factors that shape the development of 'Chinese art' in America." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Chinese art, made-in-America: an encounter with geography, ethnicity, contemporaneity, and cultural Chineseness, by Jerome Silbergeld; In the mischievous role of naturalist: classifying the Chineseness in contemporary art, by Cary Y.
