Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art (JCCA)

The Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art seeks to explore the relationship between contemporary art and Chinese cultural identity in its broadest sense. This peer-reviewed journal provides a forum for critical debate into Zhongguo dangdai yishu, the ‘avant-garde', experimental and museum-based visual art produced as part of the liberalization of culture that has taken place within mainland China since 1978. The Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art (JCCA) is a scholarly forum for the presentation of new research into and critical debate on or concerned with the subject of contemporary Chinese art. The term 'contemporary Chinese art' is now used widely in Anglophone contexts to denote various forms of 'avant-garde', experimental and museum-based visual art produced as part of the liberalization of culture that has taken place within mainland China since the confirmation of Deng Xiaoping's programme of economic and social reforms in December 1978. The comparable term in mainland China and other mandarin Chinese speaking contexts is Zhongguo dangdai yishu, which can be translated literally into English as 'Chinese contemporary art'. Contemporary Chinese art, in all its differently located forms, is invariably characterized by a combination of images, attitudes and techniques appropriated from Western(ized) modernist and international postmodernist art with aspects of localized Chinese cultural thought and practice. It can therefore be understood to act as a locus for the translation of Westernized/international cultural thought and practice in relation to Chinese cultural contexts as well as Chinese cultural thought and practice in relation to international settings. This complex, multi-directional field of cultural translations comprises strongly contrasting visions of the significance of contemporary Chinese art.
