Wu Hung: On the Contemporaneity of Contemporary Chinese Art

Professor Wu Hung is an eminent scholar, director of the Center for the Art of East Asia, University of Chicago. Although he is primarily an art historian, his early training at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing included a strong program in studio art.

His written work reflects an interest in the relationship between artists and the making of art on the one hand, and art historians, critics, and the analysis of art on the other.

Since 1999 as a curator, he has become a leading advocate for the exhibition of Chinese contemporary and experimental art in the West, and, as a result, in China as well.
