	Robin Peckham Robin Peckham is a Shanghai-based writer whose critical interests lie in the development of a vocabulary to discuss art and culture in greater China without resorting to stale complaints about the supposed lack of particular modules like independent criticism, education, and so on.
His work concentrates on infrastructural histories, tracing the development of galleries, curators, exhibitions, artist studios, record labels, music venues, publishers, and other conceptual poles as a way to understand the cultural production of this system. Ultimately, this project links contemporary art and culture in China with similar and occasionally coextensive international networks. Peckham studied Modern Culture and Media at Brown University and is currently pursuing an advanced degree in Media Art Histories at Danube University Krems. In 2008 he founded the Hong Kong-based Society Experimental Cultural Production, a curatorial office and production team that organizes exhibitions through the exploration of connections between experimental artists musicians, curators, and critics across greater China. Prior to that effort he directed Boers-Li Gallery in Beijing, a premier international commercial gallery space; contributed to early curatorial efforts at Long March Space, one of Beijing’s first nonprofit art entities; coordinated international programs at live art venue Hart Salon; and curated the musical program at pioneering live sound art and underground music venue What?!. His writing has been published in Yishu, Artforum.com and Artforum.com.cn, Redbox Review, Arttime, and in a range of catalogs for galleries and alternative spaces in Beijing & Hong Kong.
