Action – Camera: Beijing Performance Photography
2009
Catalogue published to accompany the Action – Camera: Beijing Performance Photography exhibition at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC, from January 16 to April 19, 2009. The exhibition is curated by Keith Wallace and explores an aspect of performance art that is prominent in mainland China and in particular, Beijing. In mainland China, performance art is a relatively recent development with not much more than twenty years of activity. Action – Camera: Beijing Performance Photography examines the trajectory from the discreet underground performance art community centered in Beijing’s “East Village” in the early 1990s, to a current internationally recognized practice. The catalogue includes colour images, a list of works, biographies, and essays by Dr. Thomas J. Berghuis of the Department of Art History and Film Studies at the University of Sydney, Beijing-based writer and curator Maya Kóvskaya, and curator and writer Keith Wallace.
