  • Persistence-transformation : Text As Image In The Art Of  Xu Bing
  • Attribution

    edited by Jerome Silbergeld and Dora C.Y. Ching
  • Publication Details

    Book, P. Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Center for East Asian Art, Department of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University, in association with Princeton University Press, 2006
  • Description

    The calligrapher and book artist Xu Bing has been called the most innovative Chinese artist of our time. From his 4,000 unreadable Chinese-looking characters, which unite Asian and Western audiences alike in an egalitarianism of induced illiteracy, to his invention of a “square words” language that makes “Chinese” readable by anyone at all, Xu Bing’s use of language is at once artistically brilliant, highly entertaining, and profoundly subversive–a sharp-witted, masterly word-play that, in his own words, “strikes at the very essence of culture.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

    Book, 1st ed, Broadway Books, 2003
  • Description

    A literary investigation by “one of the most powerful American writers at work today” [Annie Proulx] of a story that riveted the nation: how an accomplished, world-traveled fashion writer who had retreated to a simpler life as a single mother on Cape Cod became the victim of a brutal, still-unsolved murder. Invisible Eden is the deeply felt story of a career woman’s attempt to start over and reinvent her life away from the fashion circles of New York and Paris only to have an out-of-wedlock child with a local fisherman, forge a life as a single mother, and meet a violent end.
