In recent years, the term global art has become a catchphrase in contemporary art discourses. Going beyond additive notions of canon expansion, this volume encourages a differentiated inquiry into the complex aesthetic, cultural, historical, political, epistemological and socio-economic implications of both the term global art itself and the practices it subsumes. Focusing on diverse examples of art, curating, historiography and criticism, the contributions not only take into account (new) hegemonies and exclusions but also the shifting conditions of transcultural art production, circulation and reception.

近年来，全球艺术一词已经成为当代艺术讨论中的一个口号。本书超越了教规扩展的附加概念，鼓励对全球艺术这一术语本身及其所包含的实践的复杂审美、文化、历史、政治、认识论和社会经济影响进行有区别的调查。这些贡献集中在艺术、策展、历史学和批评的不同例子上，不仅考虑到了（新的）霸权和排斥，还考虑到了跨文化艺术生产、流通和接收的条件变化。
