李雨潔

Professor Li teaches courses on the histories and theories of modern and contemporary art in a global context. She holds a PhD in East Asian Art History and an MA in European Art History from Heidelberg University, Germany. Prior to joining Lingnan University, she was the inaugural Judith Neilson Postdoctoral Fellow in Contemporary Art at UNSW Art and Design, Sydney (2018-2020). She has also held research positions at the Tate Research Centre: Asia, London (2017-2018) and the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2013-2015).

Her research engages with aesthetics of performance art in Asia, art historiography emerging from decolonial struggles, and socially engaged practices and curation resisting neoliberal globalization. Currently, she is working on a book project examining artistic autonomy in postsocialist China. She has served as co-editor of Xu Bing: Beyond the Book from the Sky (with Sarah E. Fraser, Springer, 2020) and Visual Representations of the Cold War and Postcolonial Struggles (with Midori Yamamura, Routledge, 2021).
