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

Attribution
edited by Jerome Silbergeld and Dora C.Y. ChingPublication Details
BookP. Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Center for East Asian Art, Department of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University, in association with Princeton University Press2006Description
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)Availability

Wenda Gu : Art From Middle Kingdom To Biological Millennium

Attribution
edited by Mark H.C. BessirePublication Details
BookMIT Press2003Links
Description
Known by some as “the hair artist” and remembered by others as the artist whose monumental installation was violently destroyed by a Russian artist at the infamous “Interpol” exhibition (Stockholm, 1996), he is part of the diaspora that has sent many Chinese artists to the West over the past twenty years. To mark the British handover of Hong Kong to China, for example, he created “United Nations: Hong Kong Monument: The Historical Clash,” which consisted of a Chinese flag made of Chinese hair, a Union Jack made of British hair, and hair cuttings from Hong Kong scattered on the floor.
