- Recognising that art and design have a unique and sometimes contested role in shaping Chinese society, 'The Centre: On Art and Urbanism in China' is a collection of newly commissioned texts that examine modes of creative production, exhibition, curating, collecting and urban transformation, against a backdrop of critical perspectives on the historical moment and speculative futures. This volume features a range of key Chinese practitioners working today across art, design and architecture, and acts as an entry point to ongoing engagement with contemporary China.
