| dc.description.abstract | While Taiwanese queer film and literature studies have flourished over the last few decades, virtually no English language scholarship on the history of LGBTQ art in Taiwan and Mainland China exists. Due to the contentious reception of LGBTQ relationships in Mainland China and furthermore, Taiwan, queer studies remained a largely underexplored topic until the last few decades. Until the last few years and the debut of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei’s “Spectrosynthesis – Asian LGBTQ Issues and Art Now,” queer Taiwanese and Chinese art was virtually unheard of. My thesis focuses on three contributing artists including Chuang Chih-Wei, Wen Hsin, and Xiyadie, their utilization of distinctive methodologies and media, and uses their artworks as case studies to reveal the diverse approaches to queer art making that support the curatorial aims of “Spectrosynthesis,” and contributes to a non-binary, nuanced understanding of queer art in Sinophone cultures. | en_US |
