Intervention: Art, Symbiosis, and Place-Based Practice in China
《介入：艺术、共生与中国在地实践》 — A systematic account of place-based artistic practice in China, from community art and ecological intervention to rural projects and urban public space; includes a critical test of Western theories of participatory art and relational aesthetics against Chinese realities.

The Weight of History: Anselm Kiefer and the Rematerialisation of Contemporary Art
《历史的重量：安瑟姆·基弗与当代艺术的再物质化》 — Kiefer read against the tension between post-war German reconstruction and the dematerialisation of art; what “rematerialisation” can still mean as a critical strategy today.

The Methodological Legacy of Joseph Beuys
《博伊斯的方法论遗产》 — Beuys treated as an inheritable method rather than a style: how social sculpture survives, mutates and fails in contemporary curatorial practice, read alongside Chinese artists.

On the Failure of Contemporary Art
《当代艺术失败论》 — A direct reckoning with the institutional predicament of contemporary art: why it keeps failing in terms of social effect, and how market logic, the biennial system and critical discourse collude in that failure.

The Folded Contemporary: Non-Western Contemporaneity and the Triadic Structure of Chinese Contemporary Art
《折叠的当代——非西方同时代性与中国当代艺术的三体结构》 — Proposes a “triadic structure” — official aesthetics, market-driven internationalisation, and critical place-based practice — as the structural tension shaping Chinese contemporary art.
