Anabolic Art: Underground Chinese Art Meets Footloose Global Capital

go to article

The hike of globalisation in China, well, isnt quite as well-perceived as its comparative theorem has offered. The regular boost of art flavour in the country is a far cry from the representative works of its local artists. Rather, art is just a commodity to be owned as "ours". Adbusters has recently published an article which speaks the ugly side of globalisation. Although Adbusters isnt a legitimate channel for art news but i think this article carries a valid notion.

Another article which is not impressed by the sky-high (and ridiculous) prices commanded by Chinese contemporary art, calling it the "Great Chinese Art Swindle":
