FOUR: A Novel about the Art Making Process of Four Chinese Artists is my first English written book-length hybrid of fiction and non-fiction. The estimated word count will be around 30,000 in total. I put the first three parts in my graduate thesis of the Master of Arts in New Art Journalism program at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). I will explain the reason why I only include the first three parts in my thesis and what I will write in the fourth part later. Just from the word count, I'm reluctant to call a 30,000 word story a book-length. But from the content, I have confidence that my writing is telling a complete story that covers a timeline long enough to show the changes in both society and ideology. I titled each part by their literary form. Because this is the thesis of a journalism program, I chose three different written-journalism forms to show my ability to use different journalistic writing styles to reach the goal, as well as my understanding of writing-based journalism. The first part is an artist profile of Siyang Li, an alumnus of The Master of Fine Art program in Visual Communication at SAIC, class of 2017. The story is about the journey of an academically trained Chinese designer being an artist in the U.S. My studying at SAIC and my former journalism experience tells me, profile writing needs in-depth observation of the subject. That's one of the reasons I chose Li as my writing subject. In the last one and half years, he was my roommate. I have the opportunity to observe him closely, and more importantly, we built a concrete relationship of being honest to each other. We talked about his art and my writing a lot; he believes in me sculpting the real him by my words, I trust him to always tell me the truth of what he thought. Another reason I chose to write about Li is his complexity. He is both a designer and an artist, besides, he is also a very traditional Chinese thinker trying to survive in the Western world. That amazed me so much. In my writing, I'm using a journalistic approach to explain how these different elements built his character and influenced his art making/design style. The second part is a conversation between me and Jane Hsu, also an alumnus of SAIC, Master of Art in Art Education, class of 2014. Jane Hsu is an educator and also an artist, a painter more specifically. The reason I chose her as the subject of this part is on the opposite side of Li. Before I decided to write about her, we only met once. Opportunely, I needed a stranger to launch the conversation with. I wanted undecorated answers and an unfamiliar person to explore. Being honest, I don't like the way how most journalists write a magazine-style Q&A nowadays. They ask several unrelated questions waiting for the subjects to give the answers. Most of the Q&A pieces are done by e-mails. It shows the lack of interaction between journalists and subjects. However, the conversation should be the most interactive journalistic approach to show the sparks between journalists and subjects. The information provided by the conversation shouldn't be just specific answers from the interviewees, but also from how they answer the questions, how the journalists shape the conversation. It's like an actor shines in a movie, and his co-star should also be honored. This part is my experiment of using the real conversation (not just Q&A) to build the characteristic of my writing subject. The third part is my attempt at applying a marginal journalistic approach to modern journalistic practice. Black curtain fiction is a highly fictionalized feature story. The fictionalizing does not mean to blur the truth, on the contrary, to save the truth undercover. At SAIC, studying with artists, whose creativity is mostly based on imagination, throws me a question to think, how far is the truth from reality. Many great fictions tell the truth of their time, while a high number of realistic reports hide the truth underneath. Of course, because this is a black curtain fiction, I'll never admit that the story is about Dan-Qing Chen, a celebrated Chinese contemporary artist. Those are the first three parts of my novel FOUR: A Novel about the Art Making Process of Four Chinese Artists. Each of them is using a journalistic approach to explain the social ecology of the Chinese-American art world. As for the fourth part, I'm going to write about my story of writing the previous three stories. To write a journalistic story, the journalist is usually required to hide their ego cautiously. They are encouraged to show their perspectives but not straightforward comments. Good journalism should stimulate people to think, not manipulate how people think. This requirement gives readers the feeling that the writer is absent. There are two reasons why I don't include the fourth part in my thesis. The first reason is, what I'm going to do is anti-journalism. I want to use my voice to tell the readers I was there; I'm not absent, I'm present. In the fourth part, I'm going to give comments and show my preference straightforwardly. It may not be necessary for doing journalism, but it's crucial for telling a story. The reader needs to know my side of the story because I'm not only an observer but also a participant. The second reason I don't include the fourth part in my thesis is I want to experience the whole writing process of the first three parts, from when I began to research to when I handed them to my readers. I cannot start to write it before the process is complete. Those are the rough guidelines of the four parts of my still on-going novel writing project. There is another thing I need to mention. The real challenge is the language. Since English is not my native language, and I just began to write in English for three years, I couldn't use it with facility yet. The barrier is still huge, but I believe I have made some progress. I said before, writing in Chinese and English are two entirely different experiences for me. Sometimes I even like my English writing better, because when I use English to write, the disfluency of the language causes me write slowly. It gives me more time to think about my content. When I write in Chinese, the fast writing speed makes me ignore some of the flaws in the narrative. This time I tried a writing style that uses short and lightning sentences as best as I can. Hope this kind of style works in my writing. Also, since I'm writing Chinese people's story, I kept some of the Chinese expression. I hope that fits my writing well too

"This dissertation examines the meaning of publicness and its relationship to contemporary art through an analysis of four Chinese art projects. The four projects are Moving Rainbow (1998-2001) by Xiong Wenyun, Village Self-Governance Documentary Project (2005) by Wu Wenguang, Karibu Islands (2008) by myself, and Nian (2010) by Ai Weiwei. I demonstrate that these projects share a number of things in common: (1) the artists and participants acted as citizens and demanded citizens' rights; (2) they organized discursive arenas outside the state; (3) they defined issues of common concern; (4) they mobilized both rational-critical and affective expressions, and utilized a wide range of media; (5) they fostered stranger relations; (6) they strove for visibility; (7) they focused on contemporary common action. These traits together constitute publicness. Publicness not only served as a goal for these projects, but also constituted a form through which these projects came into being. I argue that the pursuit of publicness has been one of the critical forces motivating the development of Chinese contemporary art. In the struggle against totalitarianism, Chinese artists have combined public and counterpublic strategies and contributed to larger social movements striving for freedom and justice"--Leaf vi.

Mao S Images written by Yan Geng and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-04-17 with Art categories.
In this book, Yan Geng examines Mao’s image from the perspective of its producers, focusing on four artists, chosen for both the diverse media they worked in and their diverse backgrounds. The book suggests an alternative perspective on the making of propaganda not only as a politically themed representation but also as an expression of artists’ subjectivities and their roles as pivotal agents in the transition of modern Chinese art history. Mao’s Image: Artists and China’s 1949 Transition demonstrates how artists portrayed Mao as the nation’s leader during the early People’s Republic and what such images reveal about Chinese artists’ experience during the Communist takeover of the country.

Richly illustrated with 200 black-and-white and 32 color plates, this stimulating collection surveys the full range of 20th-century Chinese painting, covering all the schools and major artists, both within the People's Republic and elsewhere. Chinese artists now draw their inspirations from an amazing variety of subjects--airplanes and automobiles, Vietnamese refugees and Beijing opera, ancient cave murals and historical figures--and they have developed new techniques and formats that have greatly expanded the range of Chinese paintings. Their work reveals how traditional techniques, when reintroduced into unexpected contexts, can bring about strikingly new results. In light of the tremendous variety of artistic impulses and stylistic approaches that exist in 20th-century Chinese painting, and the rapidity with which these changes have occurred, it is quite remarkable that China's artistic tradition has not only been able to sustain itself, but continues to evolve in new and exciting directions. This beautiful volume captures the vibrancy of a national art that is stunning in its complexity and diversity.
