Starting with Signer: The Transformation of Art Forms and Systems in the 1960s-70s

In this lecture, Professor Jiang Jun led us back to the 1960s and 1970s, providing a comprehensive review of the historical context surrounding Roman’s works. By examining aspects such as artistic creation, political movements, and economic activities, the lecture offered a detailed analysis of the transformations in art forms and systems during the 1960s and 1970s. This period marked a shift from the independence and autonomy of art towards a discussion of locality and site-specificity, representing a paradigm shift towards the project-based and diversified approaches that began in the 1960s.
