Abstract

[ In the discursive context of Cultural Fever, the Avant-Garde Movement burst, hurricane-like, onto the national scene in 1985. There were three tendencies in the movement, namely, Rationalist Painting, Current of Life and Anti-art, which were natural allies of Hermeneutics School, one of the main opinion groups which made up the Cultural Fever, because they shared the goal of subverting hegemonic discourse and building a new and enlightened culture in China. The historical exhibition China/Avant-Garde, held in the National Art Museum of China in 1989, summerized the movement and generated a great cultural shock to both Chinese and international audiences through its unplanned actions, including gunshots. This chapter also discusses artworks outside of Action Arts, a critical part of the show.]
