This book is the first serious study of contemporary art exhibitions and exhibition spaces in China. Questions about censorship, self-censorship and the business of art in China ring true in both Eastern and Western cultures. From a design standpoint, this book needed to address the social importance of the commentary while fulfilling the needs of market sophistication. We were very fortunate in that this book designed itself: the editorial content and detail created the tone.
