About My Body Experiment
Get PDFThis letter was submitted to the archive by the artist himself. In it he describes the thought processes behind his \u27Body Experiments\u27, a series of artistic performances. His \u27Body Experiments\u27 are filled with existential questions and often involve nature. The artist is also known to play with intimacy, as shown in his Kinds of Contact series. This letter is written in a poetic, haunting style that supplements his cerebral performance acts. (Nicole Wang \u2726).https://digital.kenyon.edu/zhoudocs/1440/thumbnail.jp
DEAR ADA: An Archive of Memory, Migration, and Mooring
No full textDEAR ADA: An Archive of Memory, Migration, and Mooring reaches toward my possible and spiritual self. In this essay collection, moving from a more traditional CNF voice to more experimental fragments that formally mimic a sinking inward, I ponder what it means to create opacity as a liberatory language. I experiment with how to build a house for people you love without colonial settlement, or if that is ever possible. I explore how we avoid becoming consenting subjects of the Empire through sinking and through embracing insanity. I question the so-called correct collective memory imposed by the violent construction of historical archives and I attempt to make my own archive, bearing witness to History around me in both PRC and the U.S.. This thesis is inspired by many decolonial theorists and disability scholars, especially Édouard Glissant, Michel-Rolph Trouillot, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Sara Ahmed. I believe Indigenous spirituality paves the path for liberation, and you, Ada — simultaneously a mother, a doula, a spirit, a mad woman, an ancestor, a sibling, a descendant, and last but not least, myself — bring me closer to our liberatory future every day

Essay: Is Action Art an Action or Art? 论文：行为艺术是行为还是艺术？

Zhang Huan\u27s work 65 kg is used as an example to reflect the social impact of action arts. The writer emphasizes the importance of having cultural or artistic implication in a work, rather being a pure series of action.
