This symposium plans to open up the discussion in art of the Post-China era in relation to both the historical and contempo-rary contexts of changing geo-political and cultural identities of Asian locales – Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea in particular, and the relationship of these issues to visual production. In doing so we are patently interested in accounts that connect with the hy-bridity of artistic creation, critical conversations across boarders

and postcolonial theory to critique – and reposition beyond – the use of visuality and cultural translations developed in the re-gions under Chinese-influence in a global context(including its autonomous regions and Asian counterparts). We strive to un-derstand how Asian art history, aesthetics and practices conform, translate, defy and synthesize as they demarcate what it desig-nates to be modern and contemporary in specific milieus.
