I currently serve on the editorial board for the Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art, so I’m happy to announce that JCCA is currently soliciting submissions for two exciting new Issues slated to be published in 2017 under incoming Principal Editor Jiang Jiehong.
We would like to request that scholars submit abstracts for Issue 4.1, ‘The World of Art Museums in China’, to the following address by Wednesday 1 June: ccva@bcu.ac.uk
Aims and Scopes
The Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art is a scholarly forum for new research into and critical debate on the subject of contemporary Chinese art. The journal welcomes contributions that address contemporary art produced in mainland China, Hong Kong-Macau and Taiwan as well as in relation to diasporic and trans-national Chinese cultural communities world-wide. The journal also welcomes contributions that address the relationship between Chinese cultural thought and practice and contemporary art of non-Chinese origin. The journal is open to non-standard contributions such as photographic essays and conversations for publication alongside its more usual peer-reviewed content.
- Contemporary art with a relationship to Chinese society, culture and history
- Art-historical and critical writing related to the reception of contemporary Chinese art
- Curatorial theory and practice related to the exhibition/display of contemporary Chinese art
- Contemporary Chinese aesthetics (as seen from Chinese and non-Chinese cultural perspectives)
- The contemporary Chinese art market
- Issues of historical importance to the development of contemporary Chinese art (e.g. cultural interaction and exchange between China and the West prior to the emergence of contemporary Chinese art)
