Rilegato. Condition: fine. Edited by Battiston E.English Text.Bologna, 2008; bound, pp. 230, col. ill., cm 22x28. Naked, with long hair and his face gaudily madeup, Chinese artist Ma Liuming found his artistic cipher in a male body with a feminine face, a peculiarity that gave rise to the hermaphrodite character that he has constantly "played" throughout his career that began during the 1990s in China.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Along with fellow performance artist Zhang Huan, Ma Liuming is widely considered one of China's most innovative artists. He took up performance art after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, but was not able to show his work publicly until many years later. By the late 1990s, he had attracted international attention and begun showing abroad. Born in 1969, Liuming grew up in a China increasingly open to the rest of the world; in 1993, he had a formative studio visit with British artists Gilbert & George, who were in Beijing for an exhibition. Androgynous and confrontational, Liuming is now best known for his radical performances as the lipsticked female alter ego, Fen. For example, in "Fen Ma Liuming in Lyon (France)," first performed in 2001, he drugs himself with sleeping pills and sits virtually motionless, while the audience is invited onstage. Audience activity varies from location to location, but usually at least a few take their own clothing off and join him.

Signed catalog from Ma Liuming's ten-year retrospective exhibition. Supplementary text includes an interview conducted by Tang Xin and critical essay by Caroline Puel, with all text translated in French, English and Chinese. After two months imprisonment, Ma Liuming was released to critical celebrity in the Chinese art world and was subsequently invited to their first show outside of China at the 1996 Tokyo International Performance Art Festival. Ma Liuming challenged inherited censorship in cultural presentation, mainly in how the human body is portrayed in art with most of their work with self-depiction of their nude form in different landscapes held in high esteem in Chinese history. They also would paint their face atop the bodies of infants. Ma Liuming continues to do painting, photography and performance art.
