Overview

This is the first book that offers a comprehensive account of video art after the Cultural Revolution in China with a special emphasis on the way it progressed together with phenomenal socio-economic transformations that began in the 1980s. It examines its development against social changes and pressures, looking at such aspects as the growth of artistic and cultural groups, exhibition spaces and art schools. Charting these changes, it prizes out the many zones of influence by the dominant United States while also marking out the many independent features of Chinese video art and the conditions that shaped them.
