简介
As Seen is a series of publications that review the work of Chinese artists as presented in public museums and galleries in China. As S een is not exhaustive, but it is the result of extensive exhibition-going. With particular focus on the achievements of young artists, As Seen 2 continues to track the pulse of the times as it underscores artistic content and form.

" As Seen is the perfect book to keep posted by the historian of the Chinese contemporary art scene. Thanks to Karen Smith, each year we have a great summary of what’s going on in China, as a panorama of the year’s top shows. A memory of the future, don’t miss Karen’s eyes."
Jérôme Sans, curator
" Published simultaneously in English and Chinese versions, and distributed both through the official Chinese system and the international art world system, this volume goes a long way toward creating a common frame of reference for recent developments in Chinese art, both inside and beyond China."
Philip Tinari, director, UCCA
