How has Africa been represented through art?: A study on the power structure between biennales and art museums.

当代非洲艺术最近在非洲国内外的双年展和艺术博物馆中有了更清晰的表现，但它似乎在此时此刻失去了动力。另一方面，特别是在欧洲，一些民族学博物馆比艺术博物馆更积极地收集和展示当代非洲艺术。基于目前的环境，我们应该更多地通过现有的场所或机会，如双年展或画廊举办的展览，将非洲当代艺术作为艺术呈现在全球艺术界，而我们基本上需要重新审视非洲当代艺术的表现方式，构建新的表现机制和渠道，通过它，我们可以在与所谓的艺术，包括神话，传说和其他当地价值观完全不同的背景下代表当代非洲艺术。

Contemporary African art has recently marked clearer presence in biennales and art museums both inside and outside Africa, but it seems to lose momentum at this very moment. On the other hand, particularly in Europe, some museums of ethnology are more active to collect to display contemporary African art than art museums. Based on the current environment, we should make more efforts to represent contemporary African art as art in the global artworld through existing places or opportunities such as biennales or exhibitions held in art galleries, while we basically need to reexamine the way to represent contemporary African art to construct a new mechanism and channel of representation, through which we can represent contemporary African art in quite different contexts from the so-called art, including mythology, legends and other local values.
