SUMMARY:Queer Chinese Feminist Archipelago: Shanghai\, Miami\, and San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Queer Chinese Feminist Archipelago: Shanghai\, Miami\, and San Francisco\nDate: 31 March 2022 (Thursday)\nTime: 7:30pm\nWebinar Link: https://hku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-0hC3rd-RXKtVCXctyqPbQ \nMartinican-born poet and theoretician Édouard Glissant suggests that a shift to “archipelagic thinking” can allow one to see the world metaphorically as a collection of islands connected to each other. Foregrounding the body and affect\, I will consider the exhibition WOMEN 我們\, organized by Abby Chen\, that traveled from Shanghai (2011) to San Francisco (2012) and Miami (2013) through what I refer to as “archipelagic feeling.” WOMEN 我們 explored queer Chinese feminism\, and in a nod to cities where the venues were located\, the curators expanded the checklist at each leg of the tour. In this way\, the curators aimed not to essentialize or center queer Chinese feminism but productively connect it to (for example) Latinx subjectivities and Asian-American feminist concerns. In so doing\, I suggest this exhibition offers a new framework for thinking about the transnational through both queerness and creolization. \nSpeaker: Dr. Alpesh Kantilal Patel \nAlpesh Kantilal Patel is an associate professor of contemporary art at Tyler School of Art and Architecture\, Temple University. His art historical scholarship\, curating\, and criticism reflect his queer\, anti-racist\, and transnational approach to contemporary art. He is the author of the monograph Productive failure: Writing queer transnational South Asian art histories (2017). A co-editor of the anthology Storytellers of Art’s Histories (2022) and special journal issue for Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art (2021)\, he is working on two book projects\, Visual Diaries: Transnational Miami and Multiple and One: Global Queer Art Histories.

SUMMARY:Fiona Tan: Inhabiting the World as a 'Professional Foreigner'
DESCRIPTION:This talk is organized by St Andrews Centre for Contemporary Art and the School of Art History.\nFiona Tan: Inhabiting the World as a ‘Professional Foreigner’\n\nDate: 10 March 2022 (Thursday)\nTime: 12:00-1:30am\nVenue: Online \nTo register\, please click here \nThis talk discusses a set of lens-based installation works by Indonesian-born Australian-raised Dutch artist Fiona Tan\, which not only foster generative dialogues with the artist’s experiences of transnational migration and cross-cultural engagement\, but also probe into the unprecedentedly movable and uprooting status of human life in a globalising world. \nTan considers herself a ‘professional foreigner’ devoid of an unambiguous origin\, which enables her to investigate multiple places and cultures via situated observations and actual experiences unburdened by prior knowledge of local norms and conventions. With her works\, Tan brings to the fore a way of perceiving and apprehending people’s identities and histories built not upon preconceived sociocultural and geopolitical narratives\, but rather on embodied encounters and identifications with their quotidian activities ‘at home’. \nThe talk examines in what ways Tan’s works implicate viewers in dynamic and affective material environments of migratory inhabitation that requires continuous reworking and reconfiguration of the relations between private and public\, self and other\, past and present\, and local and foreign\, as well as virtual and real; how Tan’s artistic practice of ‘homemaking’ articulates an ethical position of being a professional foreigner permanently ‘in exile’\, disrupting any consistent and coherent conception of provenance in terms of when and where people or things originally come from; and in what ways Tan\, in her works\, renders identity and home relational and transformative\, constituted and reconstituted through relations of power and mutuality\, providing a distinctive insight into the complex entanglement of personal memories\, social histories and cultural belonging. \nSpeaker \nDr. Vivian Sheng is Assistant Professor of the Department of Art History at The University of Hong Kong. She is a feminist art historian working on contemporary transnational art and visual culture. Her research investigates the intricate interrelation between women\, domesticity and artistic practice in association with growing international travel and cross-cultural exchange\, which significantly challenge any stable and absolute conception of home and place. Her current book project\, Art\, Women and Fantasies of ‘Homemaking’: Affective Domesticity\, Embodied Habitation and Transcultural (Dis)identification\, examines the practices of six women artists—Yin Xiuzhen\, Fiona Tan\, Mona Hatoum\, Shen Yuan\, Nikki S. Lee and On-Megumi Akiyoshi—from vastly different geopolitical backgrounds and working conditions\, exploring the role of art in mediating issues of gender\, place\, identity and belonging. This research responds to the urgent need to reconsider women’s contributions to the constitution and representation of sociocultural and geopolitical realities within the international art world beyond Euro-American centres. It introduces new content and theoretical paradigms to the ongoing construction of a feminist history of art\, challenging normative discourses of social advancement\, global capitalism and international migration\, which often push women aside. \nImage Credit: Fiona Tan\, Vox Populi\, London\, 2012.

SUMMARY:New Technology\, Old Memories
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nNew Technology\, Old Memories: The “Ghosts” in Kubota Shigeko’s Video Art\nDate: 3 March 2022 (Thursday)\nTime: 4:30-6:00pm\nZoom Link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/99410373665?pwd=QU1KSUNFcGo4VVJCdVBHUDJNSTVUUT09\nZoom Meeting ID: 994 1037 3665 | Password: 675270\nSpeaker: Karen Yuan Cen\, MPhil candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nThis seminar focuses on the New York-based Japanese artist Kubota Shigeko (1937-2015) and her pioneering video art. Originally trained as a sculptor\, Kubota took up newly developed video technology in the 1970s and was among the first of her generation to exploit its creative potential as an art medium. As a woman artist burdened by male dominance in the Japanese art world\, she found opportunities in new technology that had not yet developed a gendered art historical discourse. In the following five decades\, Kubota used video to explore innovative means to exert her presence in the male-dominated art scene. This seminar looks at how Kubota used new technology to engage with the past. She used this to articulate her position in the history of contemporary art. In her own words\, she describes video as a “ghost” and asks\, “Can we communicate with the dead through video?” In many of her works\, she makes visible the traces of the deceased and those from her old memories. Through a close reading of selected works\, I examine the diverse approaches she developed with video and how she used them to channel dialogue with the past. I highlight how her exploration might have contributed to the rise of video art at a time when video’s legitimacy as an art medium was still debatable. In addition\, her work will also serve as a point of entry into a broader discussion of the intersecting histories of gender\, art\, and technology in Japan since the 1960s\, which I will explore in future studies.

SUMMARY:Tiger Tails
DESCRIPTION:This talk is co-organized by HKU Fine Arts and Art History Alumni Association and our Department\, and is supported by HKU Museum Society\nTiger Tails: Harnessing the Ferocity of the King of Animals in Early- to Middle-period Chinese Art\nDate: 19 January 2022 (Wednesday) \nTime: 6:30pm-7:30pm\nVenue: Online via Zoom Webinar / CPD LG.63\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\n \nCONSIDERING THE TIGHTENED SOCIAL DISTANCING MEASURES ON CAMPUS\, THIS EVENT IS NO LONGER A HYBRID EVENT.  \nPARTICIPATION IS LIMITED TO ONLINE-ONLY. (Updated on 14/1/2022) \nAdvanced registration required: Click here *\nPlease join Dr. Roslyn Hammers in a celebratory talk that brings in the felicitous Lunar New Year of the Tiger! Focusing on the representation of the tiger from early days to pre-Ming\, this informal chat will consider the role of the tiger and related feline friends in Chinese painting and other media. The tiger\, initially regarded as a fierce and terrifying foe\, he or she could also be enlisted to serve as a protective guardian with apotropaic properties in art. The tiger appeared as a symbol emblazoned on paintings\, clothing\, doorways\, tomb walls\, and other places\, visually lending his power to those who sought it. This talk will take a lighthearted look at the beauty of the tiger while at the same time consider the reconfigurations of its ferocity\, a quality that is at the core of the tiger’s power and status as the king of the animals. \nSpeaker: Roslyn Hammers\nDr. Roslyn Hammers is an Associate Professor at the Department of Art History\, University of Hong Kong. When she is not working on technological imagery or depictions of people at labor she brings two great passions together\, Chinese art and animals. She teaches on paintings of the Song to Yuan dynasties\, but really wants to get in touch with her inner tiger or canine and break free from the constraints of the human condition. She hopes to use her empathetic response to animals to argue for an exalted position of scaled\, furry\, and feathered beings in this world. The tiger in the year of the tiger is an excellent place to start to work toward this goal. \n*Please note that HKU will introduce enhanced Covid-19 control measures. From 17 January 2022\, anyone wishing to enter the campus will need either to be fully vaccinated or to take weekly self-tests.

SUMMARY:Composition\, Repetition
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nComposition\, Repetition: On Materiality\, Ha Bik Chuen’s Prints and Motherboards\nDate: 7 December 2021 (Tuesday)\nTime: 5:00-6:30pm\nVenue: CPD 2.45\, The Jockey Club Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Michelle Wong\, PhD candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nThis presentation introduces the ongoing PhD project on the late Hong Kong-based artist Ha Bik Chuen (b.1925\, Guangdong\, d. 2009\, Hong Kong). A self-taught artist who did not receive any academic training in art\, Ha’s prolific creative output includes works across media as prints\, sculptures\, ink and mixed media paintings\, and collage books that were discovered posthumously. The archive he left behind includes 50 years’ worth of exhibition documentation and ephemera\, including photographs of over 2500 exhibitions that he took inside and outside of Hong Kong. This presentation focuses primarily on Ha Bik Chuen’s prints and print matrices which he called motherboards. It analyses the iconography and the production process of both motherboards and prints\, to explore how Ha as a self-trained artist experimented through composition\, materials and repetition.

SUMMARY:Ren Hang’s ‘Abject’ Photography
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nRen Hang’s ‘Abject’ Photography: ‘Queer’ Bodies on the Boundaries of Urban Life\nDate: 11 November 2021 (Thursday)\nTime: 4:30-6:00pm\nVenue: Room 3.16\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nZoom Link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/96670843029?pwd=NHRUeE1ydlZtaEdMRDBpZDNFd1BkUT09\nZoom Meeting ID: 966 7084 3029 | Password: 255140\nSpeaker: Mankit Lai\, MPhil candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nUrbanization in China has continued expanding in the 21st century and left imprints upon contemporary photographic practices that feature the transforming cityscapes. Contemporary photography in China\, since the mid-1990s\, has turned an inward gaze on the changing lifestyles\, probing into the affective terrains that take agency from the personal and everyday narratives\, rather than just the motifs of demolition\, ruins and high-rises. Ren Hang (1987-2017) was a photographer practising snapshot photography that often stages his encounters with counter-cultural urban youths\, providing distinctive insights into the notions of affect\, intimacy and interrelation. Most of his photographic works depict youthful\, naked models idling around urban and rural sites. Ren featured those nude models as straddling both spatial and psychological realms\, eliciting inquiries into the intricate interrelations between identities\, bodies and the urban society. This seminar argues that Ren’s nude photography brings to the fore intersecting layers of ‘abject’ aesthetics and ‘queer’ identificatory potential. It examines how his works might challenge and destabilize the disciplinary orders\, systems of urban life in contemporary Chinese society.

SUMMARY:Ships of the Silk Road: The Bactrian Camel in Chinese Jade
DESCRIPTION:Ships of the Silk Road: The Bactrian Camel in Chinese Jade\nDate: 28 October 2021 (Thursday)\nTime: 5:30-7:00pm\nLocation: CRT4.04\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\nZoom Link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/97490624001?pwd=ME5qT3Iyck9VekxCSVRJZ2ZNaERXUT09z\nZoom Meeting ID: 974 9062 4001 | Password: 008348\n \nFor hundreds of years\, the Bactrian camel ploughed a lonely furrow across the vast wilderness of Asia. This bizarre-looking\, temperamental yet hardy creature here came into its own as the core goods vehicle\, resolutely and reliably transporting to China fine things from the West while taking treasures out of the Middle Kingdom in return. It took all manner of goods linking China in the East with Rome in the West via Persia for perhaps 1\,000 years. Where the chariot\, wagon and other wheeled conveyances proved useless amidst the shifting desert dunes\, the surefooted progress of the camel – the archetypal ‘ship of the Silk Road’ – reigned supreme. The Bactrian camel was a subject that appealed particularly to Chinese artists because of its association with the exotic trade to mysterious Western lands. In this talk\, Angus Forsyth tells the full historical background to the key role of the Bactrian camels and explores the numerous diverse jade pieces depicting this iconic beast of burden. \nSpeaker: Mr. Angus Forsyth \nAngus Forsyth is an internationally respected collector of\, and authority on\, Chinese jade and a former president of the Oriental Ceramics Society of Hong Kong. He has given long and dedicated study to ancient jades\, with special attention to the Neolithic period\, publishing widely on the topic. His publications include Chinese Jade (1991) and Jades from China (coauthored with Brian McElney\, 1994) and Ships of the Silk Road: The Bactrian Camel in Chinese Jade (PWP\, 2018)\, which was the basis of his talk to RASBJ March 3 “Jade Camels of the Silk Road”.

The Venice Biennale may have set a historical precedent for spectacular art events but what does the more recent proliferation of biennales tell us? Are biennales a new fashionable art trend or a sign of increased awareness of global art practice? Through a consideration of various locations in Asia\, Europe\, and the Americas\, this talk will touch upon some of the key historical and contemporary examples of biennales and how they have impacted the global circuits of art from 1980 to the present. \nSpeaker: Kathleen Wyma\nDr Wyma is visiting assistant professor at the Department of Art History\, The University of Hong Kong. She teaches courses on contemporary global\, modern and South Asian art history\, among which is ARTH2090: Blockbusters\, bonanzas\, and biennales: contemporary art in the global age. Her research focuses on post 1945 Indian art\, with a special interest in post colonialism and the impact of intercultural exchange in an increasing globalized art world.
