Exhibiting East Asian Art in the West
Online Symposium June 4-6
The Center for the Art of East Asia at University of Chicago is pleased to present this free online symposium exploring the exhibition of East Asian art in the West. East Asian art has been exhibited outside its geographic area of origin since the early twentieth century. While exhibitions have since then constituted an important aspect of the production and dissemination of East Asian art historical knowledge, scholars have not studied more vigilantly the manners in which East Asian art was exhibited in relation to the understanding of the field in the West as representing East Asian artistic traditions and as an academic discipline.
