Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008 is a landmark compendium produced by Tai Kwun Contemporary and Asia Art Archive. Bringing together over 80 artists from China and beyond, the volume maps artistic responses to the profound social, economic, and technological shifts of the 21st century. Structured around nine keywords, it features newly commissioned essays by curators, writers, and scholars, alongside short texts on artworks and an extensive archival section. With three in-depth curatorial essays, this richly illustrated book offers a panoramic yet incisive account of contemporary art's entanglement with the realities of globalisation, making it an indispensable reference for understanding China's place in the world today.
