Conceived in the context of a broad investigation into the history of art and terri-tory, this article draws a broad trajectory of some of the most outstanding contributions of the artistic vanguard in China starting from the era of reform and opening inspired by Deng Xiaoping in 1978 with the goal of turning light it seeks the pursuit of a social, political and also urban dialogue, undertaken by a generation of artists who instigated a paradigm shift in contemporary art. Placing the focus on a history of art, more inter-connected and multidisciplinary and oriented towards cultural studies, we intend to bring new elements into artistic studies that have been expanding in recent decades in the context of globalization.
