What is Bie-modern?

Center for Chinese Bie-modern Studies (CCBMS) at Georgia Southwestern State University

Institute of Aesthetics and Aesthetic Education at Shanghai Normal University

October 5-8 Americus Georgia

   With the development of globalization and localization, the relationship between art and its historical context is receiving renewed attention from a field of scholars.  The description of premodern, modern and postmodern art may not be satisfactory when describing the motivation and influences of some contemporary Chinese art that has been identified as “Bie-modern” or “other”-modern art.  “Bie-modern” is a termed coined by Dr. Wang Jianjiang in attempt to identify the unique historical foundations of contemporary Chinese art and culture. This form of contemporary art though responding to the development of western art is rooted in a different socio-historical context.  This recognition has resulted in attempts at a more appropriate theoretical approach to discuss such work.   If this is an accurate assessment then what is the “Bie-modern”?  What is the relationship between the Bie-modern and premodern, modern and postmodern frames?  How does this effect art and aesthetics?  The Center for Chinese Bie-modern Studies (CCBMS) Georgia Southwestern State University in collaboration with the Institute of Aesthetics and Aesthetic Education of Shanghai Normal University will host an International Symposium Oct 5-8 in Americus Georgia.
