Katalog k výstavě Josef Achrer – Dataismus a infomanická společnost, která se konala ve dnech 6. 4. – 14. 5. 2016 v Galerii Zdeněk Sklenář v Praze a na níž autor vedle obrazů poprvé představil i svůj manifest dataismu. Díla patří do cyklu DATA inspirovaného autorovým pobytem v Pekingu, „městě plném kontrastů, energie a světa RGB“ (jak sám říká), který navštívil v roce 2013. Později začal vytvářet záměrně deformované obrazy. V originálně graficky upravené publikaci RGB3D / 01 / DATA / 240X169, 5MM / 2015 / 16 jsou Achrerova díla uvedena textem významného čínského historika umění Lü Penga a doprovází je i krátký text jejich autora. Katalog byl oceněn v soutěži Nejkrásnější české knihy roku 2016, kde získal 1. místo v kategorii Katalogy a Cenu Ministerstva kultury ČR, za „... mimořádně moderně a přesně uchopený koncept grafického řešení, které propojuje Achrerovu abstraktní tvorbu do reflexu papírových stránek katalogu“ (Petr Krejzek, člen výtvarné komise).

"The first major illustrated narrative on Zhang Xiaogang, China's most prominent and influential contemporary painter. Written by Lu Peng, this book is both a biography of Zhang Xiaogang's fascinating life story and an authoritative insider's perspective of his most celebrated works. A luxuriously illustrated narrative, over four decades, it provides an authentic and world-first contextual analysis of Zhang's earliest years, family life, art studies, intellectual conflicts, European experiences, and his Bloodline work." -- provided by publisher

Collected papers of the Third Nanjing International Art Festival. Since 2014, the Baijia Lake International Culture Investment Group has established an international art exhibition in Nanjing which has met with much success and has become an important cultural event in China. This ambitious event is not only attracting great crowds and increasing China's understanding and openness to the visual arts, but each edition is also actively developing and promoting both Chinese and foreign artists in the international art world scene. In this third edition of the Nanjing International Exhibition, entitled Historicode: Scarcity and Supply , an international team of curators came together to present an enormous variety of talent and art forms from various countries and regions of China, all exploring the problems of globalization and the impact and influence contemporary art can have on our collective perceptions and cultural understanding.

The year 1989 was a turning point in Chinese art, as it shifted from modernism or avant-garde to so called "contemporary art." However, this shift, unlike that in the West after World War II, wasn't the logical result of post-modernist theories. Art in China may be influenced by Western art, but it is also severely constrained by the state political system and ideology, as well as a particular historical background. The shift had complex causes, which produced a specific language and artistic forms. This book provides a historical review and analysis of the political and social realities of China since the end of the Cold War, and more specifically after the June 6th suppression of the student movement on Tiananmen Square. This book also analyzes the global context of the new century and points out some issues that must be faced in the judgment of Chinese contemporary art.
