Art in China: Collections and Concepts
International Symposium

Coinciding with the opening of the large art exhibition from the National
Palace Museum, Taipeh, in the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal
Republic of Germany in Bonn on November 20th, 2003, an international
symposium will take place. As the exhibition presents the most important
collection of chinese art, the symposium shall deal with a fundamental
question: what was and what is art in China?

We will analyse
when and where concepts of art developed. How did objects by being
admitted into art collections become art objects, how were they treated
and how did they change in character? We will also investigate the
origins of art history as an academic discipline, and the emergence
of present concepts of art. The symposium will thus lead to a deeper
understanding of the aesthetic dimension in Chinese culture.
Participants will come from Germany, Taiwan, China, Japan, England,
France and the USA. It is one of the purposes of the symposium to
give younger scholars an opportunity to present their research.
