As an integral component of conceptual art in today\u2019s transnational contexts, performance serves\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0unique sociopolitical function through its ability to showcase different perspectives for understanding life in the climate generation.<\/p>\n Speaker:<\/b>\u00a0Dr Jane Chin Davidson, Professor of Art History and Contemporary Global Art, California State University, San Bernardino<\/p>\n Sponsors:\u00a0<\/b>NYUAD Anthropocene Kitchen and the NYUAD\u00a0Global\u00a0Asia Initiative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the global expansion of contemporary art, Chinese artists have adopted the embodied practices of the performance medium to engage with the human subject in response to the environmental exigencies of the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"The\u00a0Memory<\/span>\u00a0Garden<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is an artistic research project cultivated within the NYU Abu Dhabi Arts & Humanities Anthropocene Research Kitchen.
