We are delighted to share that JOHN YOUNG has recently been featured in an article in Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art, titled 'Why have there been no great Asian-Australian artists? Towards an alternative (Asian-) Australian art history', by Michelle Antoinette.
'...in his book The Asian Modern, historian of Asian art John Clark considers how YOUNG Zerunge’s Australia-based practice critically intervenes within and expands the traditional art historical understanding of ‘Asian’ modern art via the artist’s diasporic status and artistic concerns, specifically as an Australian artist of Chinese ethnic heritage born in Hong Kong; relatedly, Jacqueline Lo has reflected on YOUNG Zerunge’s contribution to diasporic story telling and art-making through his interest in uncovering lesser known histories of transnational Asians and transnationalism as experienced by notable figures in Australia and Asia'. - excerpt from Antoinette's article.
