The city - its built environment, communities, and institutions - plays a central role in Chinese visual art and culture during the post-reform period (i.e., since 1978). This course looks at the history of key cities in modern-day China from the perspective of their art and artists - and vice versa. These cities - Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and Guangzhou - not only provided a setting for the lives, artistic experiments and exhibitions of the most important artists of modern and contemporary China, but also emerge as protagonists in the evolution of Chinese art, culture and ideas in an age of profound transformations. While focussed on the developments of the post-1978 (and especially, post-1989) period, the history of these cities and their art throughout the twentieth century up until the early twenty-first century will be explored.

Final coursework portfolio (100% of the grade). a. Individual Essay (ca. 2500 words including refs., in the style of a short academic article) on a topic chosen by the student (typically the student will discuss the topic with me before they start writing). Weighted 50 percent of the final mark; b. Group work: i.e., one group presentation/slideshow (or individual presentations if the number of students is too low; ca. 10 slides of content each) on a topic that will be assigned by the lecturer; the in-progress slideshow will be presented in class at the end of the course for pre-submission formative feedback. The final, submitted version of the group slideshow accounts for 50 percent of the mark. d. Individual Self-reflection on the student's learning experience. Not graded for content, but 0.2 points are deducted from the pre-roundup final mark if it's missing.
