Features: In the mid-1990s of the 20th century, conceptual art rose, and traditional criticism was rendered speechless in the face of this new artistic form. Qiu Zhijie published tens of thousands of words in essays, fiercely critiquing the rampant vulgar sociological theories in Chinese art and advocating the experimental nature of artistic language. This sparked the far-reaching "Meaning Problem Discussion" in the field of art theory and promoted the deepening of non- art at the academic level in China. The first half of this book is a profound and challenging exploration of the core issues in contemporary art theory, while the second half presents the author's personal creative experiences as an experimental artist working online, offering readers a vivid case study for understanding experimental art.
