Chinese Intellectuals in Yang Fudong Elisabeth Slavkoff

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Art - Art Theory, General, grade: Distinction, University of London (Courtauld Institute of Art), course: Contemporary Art, language: English, abstract: Yang Fudong's work deals with the situation of intellectuals in China. If intellectuals have become marginalized, they nevertheless negotiate an autonomous space. In the field of the arts, non -institutional events and the Internet will most likely play a leading role. It remains to be seen whether the process of opening up of critical public spaces becomes irreversible in the Chinese political context.
