Description



Book Synopsis



The reuse and recycling of materials that were made in China has a short
history in the daily activities of private households worldwide, but a
long history in art, craft, and design. Focusing on the practices of
artists, craftspeople, and designers, and their re-evaluation of
unwanted, pre-used, and discarded materials, this volume presents new
research on material culture from China, one of the world's leading
waste-receiving and waste-producing countries, in a global context.
Through the lens of an ecocritical history of art, craft, and design, it
studies creative engagements with matter related to aspects of
(dis)connectivity, considering how the meanings and values attributed to
objects and raw materials can change radically as they travel across
historical and cultural divides.

"A captivating account of
the cycles of use, waste and reinvention that animate modern and
contemporary China. The authors capture the dexterity of artists and
craftspeople who imagine, picture, signify, fashion and terraform the
aesthetic dimension. With vivid detail, the chapters highlight the
ingenuity of Chinese material culture in the complexity of its global
circulation and planetary transformation. (Re)Made is a necessary volume for anyone seeking to inform their perspective of China's impact on today's political ecologies."

Amanda Boetzkes, author of Plastic Capitalism: Contemporary Art and the Drive to Waste
