NEW YORK, NY.- ArtSpeakChina (ASC), the first
online, collaboratively authored bilingual encyclopedia of Chinese contemporary
art officially launched today.
Now online at both www.artspeakchina.org  and www.tanyishu.cn , the Wikipedia-style
reference guide provides both English and Mandarin speakers with hundreds of
in-depth articles on Chinese artists and the world of Chinese contemporary
art.
ASC’s bilingual, collaborative character helps overcome the
language barrier and is already improving the global availability, exchange and
quality of information about Chinese contemporary art.
