全球化是一个地理概念，不仅仅和当代艺术相关，现在我们也经常将它和文化、社会与世界政治相联系。如今的文化中，全球化被用来描述国家边界重要性的下滑，各国政府重要性的减弱。也正是基于这个趋势，一系列过程开始在当代社会加速。地球村出现，文化和政治都成为了共享的经验。简单的列举几个例子，交流和信息科技将以往孤立遥远的地区联系起来，交通的发展增强了人们大规模移动的能力。

全球化是当今世界政治中最重要的因素。随着国家边界的消逝，单一民族国家的结束，各国政府变得不再像以往那样重要，类似联合国和欧盟的组织，在替代国家质检、政府之间的过膝。反全球化示威者，把跨国公司的影响作为自己的主要论点。然而诸如环境、健康、战争和犯罪，也受到了全球化的影响。提及全球化，就会出现很多美国思想扩张的问题，然而，美国化不是全球化的唯一形式。本文将通过研究艺术作品，探讨其他国家对全球化的影响，全球化对这些国家人民的影响，以及他们对全球化的态度观点。艺术家们是如何应对全球化带来的问题的？他们做的成功吗？

The term globalisation is a geographical concept, extremely relevant not only with contemporary art, but a common phrase we associate today with culture, society and world politics. Within today’s culture, globalisation is used to describe the decreasing importance of national boundaries, and a reduced importance of national governments.

With national boundaries eroding, the nation-state ending, and national governments becoming less relevant, organisations such as the UN and EU are replacing relationships between nation states and national governments. Relations that were formally international are increasingly becoming global. Anti globalisation demonstrators use the impact of trans nation corporations as the focal point for their arguments. However issues such as the environment, health, war and crime are also impacted by the effects of globalisation. When discussing globalisation, many issues related to the growth and expansion of the United States ideas and businesses are raised, however, Americanisation is not the only form of globalisation (Suter, 2006). This dissertation aims to explore other countries’ impact on globalisation; the effect globalisation has on the people of these countries, as well as their views on globalisation by studying and understanding the art work that is produced. How have artists dealt with these issues, and how successfully have they done so?

This dissertation will examine the relationship between globalisation and place in relation to contemporary art. By focusing on, and discussing how contemporary artists have begun portraying their own ideas and experiences in relation to the expanding and changing term, place. The dissertation can then begin to identify the different ways of responding to globalisation and place as well as the success of the work produced. Robertson and McDaniel (2005) express the importance of understanding the term place before relating it to contemporary art. They describe a place as a location, that 沪ICP备10026080号-1
