  • #Contemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa

    I just listened to the fabulous 2014 interview with Joan Kee on the history of contemporary art in Korea. Contemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa and the Urgency of Method (University of Minnesota Press, 2013). I collect Tansaekwa and yet has missed this until now. Excellent thank you!

  • Fascinating show

    Love this show. I particularly liked the interview with Jessica Helfand about her book. I agree that there is more to be said about the humanity of images of faces that we'd normally not look twice at like Instagram selfies and mugshots (and the encoded information you can glean about the people behind the camera!) I’m looking forward to more episodes!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Olivier Krischer and Shuxia Chen, "Wayfaring: Photography in Taiwan, 1950s-1980s" (Australian Centre on China in the World, 2025)
Q: What do the first two chapters contribute to understanding Taiwanese photography across generations?
The editors explain that Chapter 1 by Mia Liu focuses on Lang Jingshan and how his work intersects traditional aesthetics with contemporary contemporary practices, while Chapter 2 by Alex Su juxtaposes Deng Nan-Guang and Zhang Chao-Tang to reveal subaltern subjectivities and continuities across postwar and post-1960s contexts.
Olivier Krischer and Shuxia Chen, "Wayfaring: Photography in Taiwan, 1950s-1980s" (Australian Centre on China in the World, 2025)
Q: Can you give us a little overview about the early history to contemporary Taiwan photography?
They note that the history stretches back to the mid-19th century, with a long prewar and wartime development, but the book concentrates on the 1950s–1980s to explore the social and cultural changes that shaped photographic practices, while acknowledging earlier lineage and subsequent post-1980s continuities.
Blair LM Kelley, "Black Freedom: A Visual History of Juneteenth and Emancipation Days" (Black Dog & Leventhal, 2026)

Blair LM Kelley, "Black Freedom: A Visual History of Juneteenth and Emancipation Days" (Black Dog & Leventhal, 2026)
