Dr Alex Burchmore is an art historian and arts writer specializing in the study of Chinese art, past and present, with a particular focus on ceramics, trade and exchange, and the interweaving of the personal and material. Alex received his Ph.D. from the Australian National University in 2019 and joined the University of Sydney’s Museum & Heritage Studies department in 2021. His first book, New Export China: Translations Across Time and Place in Contemporary Chinese Porcelain Art (University of California Press, forthcoming 2023), traces the extent to which artists in China have used porcelain from the 1990s to the present to shape their personal, historical and cultural identities.
