Center for Visual Studies, Peking University and Chinese Modern Art Archive
Center for Visual Studies Peking University is a national base of Chinese traditional art, Chinese contemporary art and world art history. It has a group of scholars who, though of different disciplines, all specialize in the cultural and visual studies. The center is under the supervision of Prof. Dr. LaoZhu of Peking University.
Chinese Modern Art Archive (CMAA), one of the research projects of the Center, was founded in 1986 at Central Academy of Fine Arts (then moved to Peking University) and has been devoted to collecting and archiving documents on contemporary Chinese art work created after the mid-1970s. With the mission of documenting the contemporary Chinese artistic events, CMAA does its research through conducting surveys and publishing the Annual of Contemporary Art of China. The Annual provides information on art events, art works and artists in China for the researchers and institutions both domestic and abroad. CMAA also has an online database, which has been developed into an open resource for researchers. A special room will also be created for the archives at Peking University's library for public research.
