Expertise and academic leadership through the UNSW Judith Neilson Chair of Contemporary Art adds significantly to UNSW鈥檚 global excellence in Asian studies and expands our critical understanding of Chinese contemporary art in its local, regional, and global contexts.

International network

Paul Gladston's research and critical writing have impacted significantly on the development of critical Chinese contemporary art and cultural studies. This is evidenced by the incorporation of his publications into academic curricula worldwide, translations of his writing into various languages, and his supervision of ground-breaking Ph.D. theses by candidates from China and across the globe. Paul has collaborated with major academic and cultural institutions inside and outside China, including UNESCO, the Southbank Centre London, Sotheby鈥檚 Institute, the Central Academy of Fine Arts Beijing, Tsinghua University Beijing, Oxford University, the University of Maryland, the journal Third Text, Tate Modern (Tate Papers), the ShanghArt Gallery Shanghai, Chambers Fine Art New York, the New York-based visual arts, culture, and politics magazine Brooklyn Rail, the UK National Committee on China, and the Asia Society in Australia and the US. In his professorial role at UNSW Paul is dedicated to establishing a global network for contemporary art and cultural studies.听

Supporting Asian Studies in Australia

The UNSW Judith Neilson Chair of Contemporary Art supports contributions by UNSW researchers to professional scholarly associations such as the Asian Studies Association of Australia and the Australian Society for Asian Humanities.

    "The essays comprising鈥疶ranslation Studies and China鈥痑re path-breaking in their scope--from film dubbing and back translation, to theatre, exhibition, visual art and children's books, then to poetry and fiction. And for their dialectical subtlety, which simultaneously focuses on translation as repetition of values, to translation as the domination of one set of values over others, and finally to the free possibilities symmetrical between languages that translation can prompt. The book is exemplary in its focus on the uniqueness of individual translation instances rather than on the application of theory, while in some cases generating theory. In the book's emphasis on the global situatedness of China within the forest of languages, it is nothing if not cosmopolitan."

    "This is the first edited collection to critically address in its entirety questions related to the displaying of Chinese contemporary art. It includes chapters by scholars and cultural workers from diverse backgrounds involved in the interpretation of artistic as well as curatorial discourses and practices. Each of those chapters gives a detailed account of a particular, socio-culturally informed, approach to the making and showing of Chinese art - including in relation to queer identities, transculturality, the use of social media, artivism, social engagement, institutional critique, and neo-Confucian aesthetics. Together they present a vital intervention with established curatorship amidst the intensely interconnected and increasingly multi-polar cultural conditionalities of early 21st-century contemporaneity.鈥
