She is the award-winning author of several books\, including Fray: Art and Textile Politics (2017\, winner of the ASAP Book Prize\, the Frank Jewett Mather Award\, and the Robert Motherwell Book Award) and Louise Nevelson’s Sculpture: Drag\, Color\, Join\, Face (2023).  Her first book Art Workers: Radical Practice in the Vietnam War Era was translated into Korean and Japanese\, and her co-authored book Art in the Making has been translated into Korean. As Curator-at-Large at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo\, she co-curated several exhibitions\, including Queer Histories (with Adriano Pedrosa and André Mesquita\, 2024-25). In November 2025 she opened two shows—GUTSY: On Feminist Infrastructures (at MSN Warsaw) and Lotty Rosenfeld: Disobedient Spaces (at the Wallach Art Gallery\, organized with Natalia Brizuela). Her writing has appeared in many venues\, including Art Bulletin\, Artforum\, Art Journal\, Oxford Art Journal\, and Journal of Modern Craft\, and she has authored texts on artists such as Pacita Abad\, Lee Bul\, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha\, Yoko Ono\, and Yinka Shonibare.  In 2024 she served as President of the International Jury of the 60th Venice Biennale.

SUMMARY:What Was the Floating World in Japanese Art
DESCRIPTION:What Was the Floating World in Japanese Art\nDate: 24 February 2026 (Tuesday)\nTime: 6:15pm-7:30pm\nVenue: MWT3\, G/F\, Meng Wah Complex\, Main Campus\, The University of Hong Kong (directions)\nRegistration: CLICK HERE (required) \nThe Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868) was established to bring peace after almost a century of civil war. Discipline and order were paramount objectives. Yet the shogunate was fully aware that places of escape and alterity were needed\, that is\, locations of urban delight. These came to be known as the Floating World (ukiyoe). They were sites of a wealth of popular cultural and artistic forms. \nGuest speaker: Prof. Timon Screech  (Chair\, International Research Centre for Japanese Studies\, Kyoto) \nTimon Screech taught the history of Japanese art at SOAS\, University of London\, for 30 years\, before moving to a chair at the International Research Center for Japanese Studies (Nichibunken) in Kyoto\, in 2021. He has also been guest professor at numerous institutions in the EU\, Japan and USA.\nScreech is the author of some dozen books and many articles on the visual culture of the Japan’s early-modern Edo period. His PhD was published as The Lens Within the Heart and remains in print in a second\, paperback edition. Perhaps best-known is his Sex and the Floating World: Erotic Images in Japan\, 1700-1820\, which is also available in Chinese\, Japanese and Polish translations. His field-defining study\, Obtaining Images: Art\, Production and Display in Edo Japan was published in 2012.\nIn 2020 he published two further books\, The Shogun’s Silver Telescope: God\, Art and Money in the English Quest for Japan and Tokyo Before Tokyo: Power and Magic in the Shogun’s City of Edo (also available in Chinese). He has just completed a major monograph which will appear in 2026\, Shogun Avatar: The Worship of Tokugawa in Early-Modern Japan\, and concurrently a book on early European contacts with the Kingdom of Lūchū (J: Ryūkyū)\, modern Okinawa. He is now at work on the history of the Rokuhara district in Kyoto.\nScreech is a Freeman of the City of London\, a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Society of Art. In 2022 he was awarded both the Yamagata Bantō Prize\, and the Fukuoka Culture Prize\, and in 2024 received the Japanese Foreign Minister’s Commendation. \nThis is a public event co-organized by Academy of Visual Arts\, School of Creative Arts\, Hong Kong Baptist University through Hong Kong Baptist University\, Research Committee\, International Activities Programme 2025/26\, in collaboration with The International Research Center for Japanese Studies (Nichibunken).\nRegister for other lectures of the same series:

SUMMARY:Ancient Egyptian Temples: Three Thousand Years of Development
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-organized by Humanities and Digital Technologies program and the Department of Art History\, Faculty of Arts\, HKU\nDate: 26 November 2025 (Wednesday)\nTime: 4:15-5:30pm\nVenue: Room 4.36\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU (click for directions)\n \nGuest speaker: Prof. John Baines (Professor Emeritus\, Egyptology\, University of Oxford)\n \nTemples were a central institution of ancient Egyptian society. From modest local shrines\, through intricate structures forming part of pyramid complexes\, to vast enclosures containing several temples in the second and first millennia BCE\, they incorporated core values and were ever more vital to the entire society. Their forms incorporated and spoke to the rural and urban landscape\, they influenced other civilizations\, and today they continue to be salient symbols of Egyptian visual culture. This lecture will explore their development while concentrating on the intricate structures of later periods. \nRegistration: required\, first come first served \nCome early on the day to secure your seat!

SUMMARY:Tracing Water: Contemporary Art and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture\nTracing Water: Contemporary Art and Climate Change\nDate: 19 December 2022 (Monday)\nTime: 6-7:30pm\nVenue: Asia Art Archive (11/F Hollywood Centre\, 233 Hollywood Road\, Sheung Wan) ONLINE\nZOOM meeting URL: CLICK HERE\nMeeting ID: 999 8229 1929 | Password: 974576\nSpeaker: Prof. Joshua Shannon (Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory\, The University of Maryland\, USA) \nAbstract\nBeginning by observing that climate change demands not only technical and political solutions but a remaking of some of our most basic beliefs\, this talk turns to recent climate art for the ways in which it can guide and ignite this process. Looking at examples in forms ranging from science-fiction film to contemporary-art installations\, the talk considers the difficulty\, given its geographic and temporal dispersal\, of visually representing climate. \nSpeaker\nJoshua Shannon is Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory at the University of Maryland\, USA. His research and teaching investigate modern and contemporary art in relationship to social and cultural history\, with special interests in architecture\, cities\, landscape\, and ecology. His publications include The Disappearance of Objects: New York Art and the Rise of the Postmodern City (Yale University Press\, 2009)\, The Recording Machine: Art and Fact During the Cold War (Yale University Press\, 2017) and\, co-edited with Jason Weems and Laura Bieger\, Humans (Terra/Chicago\, 2021). \nThis event is made possible through the generous support of The University of Hong Kong Museum Society.

SUMMARY:Myriad Shades of Jade
DESCRIPTION:This online talk is organized by HKU Fine Arts and Art History Alumni Association\n\nMyriad Shades of Jade: the Problem and Beauty of Celadon\n\n\nDate: 16 August 2022 (Tuesday)\nTime: 6:30-7:30pm (HK time)  \nFormat: Zoom Webinar\nMedium: Cantonese\, with some specific terms in English \nEvent Registration: required\, click here \nCeladon itself is a popular term that refers to ceramics covered in green glazes. The term has been associated with a large number of wares in China and such inclusiveness is convenient and yet at times problematic. Dr Ruby Leung (Lecturer\, Department of Art History\, HKU) will address celadon’s technical and stylistic distinctiveness to articulate it artistic importance. By examining and tracing the development of various objects associated with this term\, this talk surveys the fascinating beauty that celadon embraces\, and also explores how inappropriate the term can be in certain cases.
