On four Tuesday nights in October, AW Asia (here) is putting on a free Short Course in Chinese Contemporary Art. Information on the course can be found here. The four sessions (an hour and a half each) include:

• From Mao to Now: An Overview of Chinese Contemporary Art
• Evening with Melissa Chiu, Director of the Asia Society and Museum
• Visit with Christopher Phillips, Curator ICP
• 21st Century China & the Global Art World

These look like excellent sessions for those of us who need to get better informed on contemporary photography in China. Registration is required.
