Special Journal Issue: The Work of Lu Yang in Transnational Chinese

Deadline: Mar 31, 2021 Gabriel Remy-Handfield

The Work of Lu Yang in Transnational Chinese and Global Contemporary Art and Visual Culture Call for Papers: Special Journal Issue

Editors: Livia Monnet (University of Montreal), Gabriel Remy-Handfield (University of Montreal), Ari Heinrich (Australian Normal University)

One of "the most innovative and imaginative artists coming out of China right now" (New York Times, November 18, 2020), Lu Yang ( 陸揚) (1985-) has provocatively re-envisioned the notions of identity, the body, sex and gender in complex, layered and at the same time highly entertaining videos and multimedia installations. His work also reflects on darker themes like death, destruc- tion and reincarnation. Lu Yang creates experimental virtual environments where cutting-edge technologies meet philosophical considerations inspired by Buddhism. The goal of this special issue is to explore the different aspects of Lu Yang's works and aesthetic in the context of Chi- nese and East Asian contemporary art and global visual cultures. We encourage proposals by scholars, art critics, curators, and graduate students working in and across the fields of Chinese and East Asian contemporary art and visual cultures, cultural studies, feminist and queer/LGBTQI- A+ theory, new media and postinternet/postdigital art, game studies, religious studies, Chinese and East Asian cinemas and more. The editors, Livia Monnet, Gabriel Remy-Handfield, and Ari Heinrich, will submit the selected contributions to venues such as The Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art, Journal of Chinese Cinemas, and Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Abstracts of 250-300 words accompanied by a short list of references and a brief bio should be sent to the following email address by March 31, 2021:

luyangcfp@gmail.com
