Globalization and Transformation in the Social System of 'Art'--Toward a Construction of a Theory of Contemporary Art / Visual Culture

在现代社会中，艺术被理解为一种“自主”的特殊系统。自20世纪80年代的S以来，艺术造就了横跨亚洲国家、俄罗斯、前东欧和非洲国家的“全球艺术世界”。尤其是在非西方领域进行的“双年展现象”，就是这种全球化的象征性表现。但在全球经济的统领下，在政治的支撑下，当下艺术与经济、政治的界限被消解在虚拟的望远镜系统中。因此，近现代艺术以其表达或存在的方式证明了它的某种社会性，如政治性、交际性或经济性。

The art has been understood as an "autonomous" peculiar system in the modern society. The art brings about the "global art world" , which extends over Asian countries, Russia, the former east-Europe and African countries since 1980's. "Biennale phenomenon" , which proceeds especially in non-western sphere shows symbolically this globalization. But conducted by global economy and supported by politics, the boundary of art with economy and politics at present is dissolved in amutual telescope system. Consequently the art in recent days proves its some kind of social character, such as political, communicative or economic character, in its expression or existence manner.
