| Title | Setting the Table: Preparing Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party - 30-Year Anniversary Exhibition at the University of Houston, Clear Lake |
| Description | Organized and curated the "Setting the Table" commemorative exhibition of Judy Chicago's "The Dinner Party," Feb. 19 - April 30 in the university's Alfred R. Neumann Library, 2700 Bay Area Blvd., Houston, Texas. The exhibit, on loan from ACA Galleries, included drawings, test plates and maquettes from the original installation. The university was one of the first three galleries to host the original "The Dinner Party" installation in 1980. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2011 |
| Impact | Edited the exhibition catalogue, Setting the Table: Preparing Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party - 30-Year Anniversary Exhibition at the University of Houston, Clear Lake (2011) Curated ancillary show Margarita Cabrera, Space in Between, sewing performance by women from Mexico, and subsequently wrote article for Journal of Visual Culture about Cabrera's work, which was first presented at the Herbert Marcuse conference |
| Description | I have developed research that contributes to the new model for understanding art in the era of globalization through the study of classificatory orders in global exhibitions. Also, the growth in global art, world art, and the growth of exhibitions of non-European artistic expression has led to further developments of my research subjects as reflected in my outputs. The new topics and subjects that have emerged include art as an expression of indigenous knowledges of many cultures and eco-feminist art in the global context. |
| Exploitation Route | Besides the numerous articles in peer reviewed journals and chapters in anthologies, I have published an co-edited collection titled, Global and World Art in the Practice of the University Museum (Routledge 2017). My monograph Staging Art and Chineseness: Politics of Trans/Nationalism and Global Exposition was published by the University of Manchester Press in 2019. These are especially important modes of taking forward the findings of my research project. |

| Description | I have presented my findings at schools and institutes. Through my published research and presentations at conferences and lectures, the findings of my research have been cited many times by other researchers, included in the syllabi of my peers, and have initiated other forms of discourse on Chinese identity, artistic expression, and global exhibitions. My work in global art and the practice of the museum has grown and two book projects are in development. In July 2017, the book Global and World Art in the Practice of the University Museum published by Routledge was released. My next book Staging Art and Chineseness: Politics of Trans/Nationalism and Global Expositions, will be published by the University of Manchester Press in 2019. |

| Results and Impact | College Art Association Annual Conference, Chicago, March 4, 2022, Chicago, IL • "Transnational, Transcultural, Transversal: On the Decolonial Discourse of Art," Co-chair with Dr. Marsha Meskimmon of session with participants Drs. Monica Juneja, Ceren Ozpinar, Agostinho Pinnock, Wenny Teo for conference attendees College Art Association Panel Proposal, Chicago Illinois, February 16-19, 2022 Abstract The recent emphasis on the term transcultural in the discourse of art and art history raises pressing questions about the deployment of a range of terms expressing geographical, political and social forms of crossing and exchange such as transnational, trans-regional/local and transversal. None of these terms are innocent, each brings complex historical baggage; with the "national", for example, links with nation-building, transnational capital and today's version of white nationalism, and with the "cultural", historical entanglements with "racial science" and anthropological fictions of "dying cultures." And yet, the most progressive, decolonizing work in art and art's histories today explores the transformative potential through the rewriting of linear narratives and Eurocentric universals, narrating worlds created by art's complex and multi-directional transits and transpositions. This work includes trans*, feminist and queer explorations of materiality and language that undermine the patriarchal structure of institutional racism and the coloniality of gender and sexuality. This panel asks questions such as, how and why are researchers adopting the transcultural, transnational and transversal; how do these terms speak for them with relevancy and significance? Can the "trans" reference be both progressive and nefarious, maintaining the possibilities of both historical contradiction and dissent? In artistic globalization, can art researchers transcend the inevitable antagonisms of terminology, such as supplanting transnational with transcultural in the same way that transnational has tended to supplant diaspora? In destabilizing the Eurocentric language for art/art history, the ongoing resistance to patriarchal power is integral to the decolonizing processes for a globalized art discourse. |

| Results and Impact | Convener for the NWSA panel: Performance Art and the Body: Censorship, Decolonial Practices, and Deviant Tactics, under Subtheme Five: World making and Resistant Imaginaries. The presenters for this panel are focusing on some of the most important feminist performers of the past and the present. First up is Lauren Kuryioski from Northeastern University, her paper is titled "Ana Mendieta's Self Portraits: Using Embodied Deviance to Reconfigure the Colonizing Gaze." The Cuban American, Mendieta, was a major feminist body artist working during the 1970s. Next Ayanna Dozier from McGill University explores"Remixing History and Making Worlds in the Cinematic Performance of Juliana Huxtable's There are Certain . . ." Huxtable emerges today as a leading embodiment of the black, transgendered subject in performance. And last but not least we have Maria Murphy from the University of Pennsylvania, who presents "Sounding Censorship, Censoring Sound: Karen Finley and Laurie Anderson During the Feminist Sex Wars" Finley was at the forefront of the culture wars fought during the 1980s in the domain of public funding for the arts and along with Laurie Anderson, these were the feminist models for many artists to this day. Convener for the NWSA panel Restoring Women's Place: Gender, The Land and The Environment under Subtheme One: Unsettling Settler Logics: The paper examines the role of Indigenous women in settler-colonial states in defending their Nations' waters for future generations and their fight to create new institutions for transboundary water governance informed by Indigenous ways of knowing Kelsey Leonard, McMaster University, "Water Warriors: Gendered Frontiers of Indigenous Water Security": Claudia Murphy, Independent Scholar, "Ignorance, Colonialism and the Environment--Why It Starts with Me": One of the central tenets of the environmental justice movement is that degradation of the land and its resources is simultaneously social injustice against its peoples-these two go hand in hand. Sinith Sittirak, Thammasat University, "Resisting Postcolonial Hegemonies: A Grassroots' Story of Writing and Fighting for Land rights in Thailand (1963-2004)": This research critiques politics of knowledge in the Thai women's movement through the study of a land-rights activist's archival materials. The analysis applies the frameworks of postcolonial and feminist research practice with a focus on women's life narratives in order to deconstruct the dominant knowledge production process in Thai context. |

| Results and Impact | (Asian) (American): Conversations Across the Diaspora is the first iteration of a series of group conversations featuring artists and art administrators whose experiences are influenced by Asian diasporic origins. It is a branch project based on the Asian American (AsAm) interview series that I have been working on since September 2015. Topics covered will include (but are not limited to): what it means to be AsAm in the art world and in society now, AsAm assimilation-as-colonization and anti-blackness, the intersection of various 'categories' of AsAm (East, Southeast, and (lack of) South Asian) in these conversations and in art spaces, and the intersection of AsAm identity with gender, sexuality, class, able-bodiedness, etc. and how these characteristics all affect the experience of being AsAm. Sunday, February 7th, 5-7pm EST: Jane Chin Davidson Thinh Nguyen Takahiro Yamamoto |

| Results and Impact | The International Research Network for Modern and Contemporary Chinese Art (ReNet MoCoCA) - launched in March 2015 - is conceived to address the needs of the growing, divers, and globally scattered academic community in this field. It helps to bridge communicational and informational gaps that result from local institutional confines of projects, departments, and universities as well as culturally diverging schools of thoughts. It provides a means to overcome existent disciplinary, ideological, and epistemologically grounded boundaries that mark the global community of academics researching modern and contemporary Chinese art. A particular concern of the network is to encourage and facilitate a shared dialogue between scholars who are educated and active in the People's Republic of China and scholars from other regions of the world. Important to the networks self-understanding is that members are interested in a broad heuristic definition of "Chinese", "China" or "Chinesness", one that encourages a critical, cross-disciplinary and broad scope of research on art(istic) and aesthetic practices, objects, concepts, agents and their (entangled) histories. These were and are often strongly affected by national, cultural and geo-political boundaries - as those constituted by the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, to name just the most common. But art works, practices and concepts as well as the agents who are related with what is called modern and contemporary Chinese art at specific places and moments in time did and do transgress governmental units more often than not. Consequently, the research activities, publications and discussions by network members deliberately include the study of socio-cultural units - such as various Chinese speaking communities and diasporas - and engage with China-related discourses of various kinds. In short, members are interested in contextualizing prevalent notions of Chinese modern and contemporary art and visual practices with a critical look into (art) historical, cultural, socio-political, economical and other relevant genealogies and do not exclude research that relates to or compares these issues with other regions, cultures, communities, and time frames. The Network presents an informal international association of junior and senior scholars (about 30 members when starting in 2015/16 and since growing steadily) who are dedicated to the research and mediation of modern and contemporary Chinese art including scholars working in institutions that are related with academic research such as museums, collections, cultural associations and centers or art magazines. The network's key concern is to facilitate international, cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional horizontal communication of early career researchers when gathering, discussing, and sharing information as well as publishing their research. The network is also dedicated to enable vertical academic exchanges particularly supported by senior members, who foster a greater institutional openness for research on Chinese modern and contemporary art and help creating career opportunities for members in the growing field. The interdisciplinary set-up of the network, which is guaranteed by the various scholarly and institutional backgrounds as well as multi-fold thematic projects of the network's members, constitutes a collective platform of diverse voices that are united in their research focus. |

| Results and Impact | KNOWLEDGE AND DISSEMINATION Cultural institutions around the world see how the circumstances and spaces that created them and that make sense of them change. Culture changes and the world changes, the audiences and the knowledge they want to transmit change and the distances between spectators and producers change. Everything changes, as does the legitimacy and authority of those who can decide how knowledge is shared because the identity of those who can say it changes. |
