The Museum of Contemporary Arts Multi-Interaction Space of Arts in the Process of China s Internationalization

Abstract

This research is a basic research, using qualitative research methodology, focusing on the study of the relationship between contemporary art museums and modern cities in China in relation to the modernity of the current world. The research results found that modernity is related to the progress of the world's society. Modern cities will have the characteristics of being a 'Hub' and 'Node' of a network of relations with international networks or 'international.' Historically, modern cities in China are groups of cities that have had relations with Western countries in the past century, especially Shanghai, which was used as a center for trade between the West and China. As a result, Shanghai has developed physically, socially, and culturally in relation to Western countries. It has become one of the most modern cities in China since that period until now. One of the phenomena indicating the modernity of such cities is the "Modern Art Museum" or "Museum of Contemporary Art," which has been transformed into a space or stage for interaction between Chinese art culture and globalization. Contemporary art museums in modern cities have become a stage for Chinese artists and people to interact with international art, including the exchange of modern and international art, affecting the development of various modern art in China and the complex artistic processes, such as education, trading in art, and the creation of artists' identities and reputations. Including being used as a "representative image" of the country, in welcoming and presenting China's modernity to the modern world society, as well as being a source of learning about internationalism and modernity within China at the same time, especially the Pudong Art Museum in Shanghai, China, which is the unit of analysis in this research.

Therefore, the modern art museum is an important element of a modern city and a platform for dynamic interactions between artists, the public, government organizations, businesses, private sectors, and others, both nationally and internationally, which is an important condition of the discourse of modernity.
