Home Page / What's New

Gallery Changed

The page on this web site, formerly called the "gallery", has been renamed and revised.  It's new name is The ArtsInform Gallery. It now incorporates images from the entries to the ArtsInform Show as well as including images from the original gallery.
To save space, and keep this site affordable for me, only one image per artist has been included. 
If you wish to display more images of your work I highly recommend you use the GuelphArtists.ca website service.  They can provide you with a simple, affordable way to have a website and they will also promote your site in our
Artist Gallery. Some of the artists represented in the ArtsInform Gallery have web sites of their own on GuelphArtists.ca
ArtsInform is hosted by GuelphArtists.ca

    ials of the Future: Documenting Contemporary Chinese Art from 1980-1990
    "The 1980s was a seminal period in China's recent art history. During this time, many of China's most celebrated artists attended art academies, held their first exhibitions, and developed the intellectual foundation for the art practices th
    at have contributed to their present success. In order to foster research into this transformative moment in Chinese history, AAA has undertaken a four year focused archiving project; collecting, indexing and preserving rare documentary and primary source materials. As a result, AAA has collected hundreds of texts published during the 1980s, completed 75 video-taped interviews, produced a documentary film, and digitized the personal archives of renowned artists and curators, including Fei Dawei, Zhang Xiaogang, Zheng Shengtian, Lu Peng, Mao Xuhui and Wu Shanzhuan, to name a few. With a total of over 70,000 digital documents, AAA now maintains the world's largest and most systematically organized archive of documentary material on the period. This scholarly resource will be freely accessible and open to the public from AAA's physical premises as well as through a dedicated web portal www.china1980s.org starting September 2010."
