The following chapters are dedicated to issues related to the urban and rural contexts for art creation in Mainland China and Hong Kong. One chapter observes the ups and downs of the representations of cities in the history of the People's Republic of China and how they have defined a certain idea of culture. Another looks at how Chinese cities have been exceptional centers of art creations over the last thirty to forty years through the example of Shenzhen where a vibrant art scene, albeit closely connected to Hong Kong which has become a major art hub in the last two decades, has developed. The following is dedicated to the changing fortunes of art making in the countryside, observing how institutions in the Mainland and in Hong Kong have supported these practices very differently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Vigneron finally considers how the different speeds of globalization, slow in the past and fast today, have determined some of the issues of past and outside in the present, particularly in the context of socially engaged art in both the Mainland and Hong Kong.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Hong Kong Ink: A History of Past and Outside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo Curtain and Mass Media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInk Society in Hong Kong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHong Kong Ink Art Museum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarginalization of Hong Kong Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 \"When Is a Landscape Like a Body?\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mollywood Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMundane Mind and \"Paintings of Beauties\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGender Positioning in Literati Culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHong Kong Mundanity and Patriarchy in Mainland China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 From Rural to Urban and Back Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace Reigns over the River in Hong Kong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiver of Wisdom in Shanghai and Hong Kong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti?urban Bias of the Maoist Period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePro?urban Bias of the 1990s and Beyond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 New Urban Frontier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"One Country, Two Systems,\" and One Border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe City over the Border: Shenzhen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Plasticians in Shenzhen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt Market and Institutional Critique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 New Rural Frontier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeasant Paintings during the Maoist Period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Beautiful Countryside\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Reviving the Country through Culture\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocially?Engaged Art Practices in the Hong Kong Countryside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Multi?cultural World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePast and Outside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobility as Privilege\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobility as Necessity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52652967100696,"sku":"9789882372474","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/china-pluperfect-ii-practices-of-past-and-outside-in-chinese-art-hardback-9789882372474","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
