Abstract

Abstract This article reviews two recent books on Chinese contemporary art, Sasha Welland's Experimental Beijing (2018) and Jenny Lin's Above Sea (2019), concerned with the sociopolitical contexts of the 1990s–2000s' globalizing Beijing and Shanghai respectively. By examining the two authors' respective methodologies—Welland's ethnographical field research and Lin's urban cultural research—, this article interprets how these two books shed light on the role of tensions in the intersectional global-local spaces of Chinese contemporary art. It argues that this field of art history necessitates the employment of non-art historical methodologies, as shown by the two books, in order to locate and make visible the intangible tensions hovering in the art's global-local spaces.

立足全球:解读中国当代艺术的张力之路

本文回顾了萨沙·韦兰(Sasha Welland)的《实验北京》(2018)和林珍妮(Jenny Lin)的《海上》(2019)这两本关于中国当代艺术的新作，它们分别关注了20世纪90年代至21世纪初全球化的北京和上海的社会政治语境。通过考察两位作者各自的研究方法——韦兰的民族志领域研究和林的城市文化研究——本文解释了这两本书如何揭示了中国当代艺术在全球-地方交叉空间中的紧张关系。它认为，这一艺术史领域需要采用非艺术史的方法，正如这两本书所示，以便定位和显示徘徊在艺术的全球-地方空间中的无形紧张关系。
