Reviews
Invisible Ink is a unique contribution to the study of women artists and contemporary art. With innovative and in-depth research, Luise Guest uncovers the multi-layered meanings of ink as both medium and creative space in the feminist practice of five Chinese women artists. * Monica Merlin, Assistant Professor of Art History, VCUarts Qatar * Weaves together a wealth of insights gathered from conversations with women artists across China. This vital expansion of the material turn in writing on contemporary Chinese art introduces a much-needed gendered lens to our understanding of cultural traditions and their reinvention. * Alex Burchmore, Lecturer in Art History and Curatorial Studies, Australian National University, Australia *
