Notes

"The current volume emerged from a series of symposia and panel discussions between Xu and scholars at Heidelberg University in July 2015. It includes transcriptions of these exchanges, which aim to critically re-examine transcultural issues in Xu's art practice, with a focus on Xu's work since the 1990s"--Page vii.
