Marcel, Olivier. “Toward Data-Driven Art Studies: A Social Network Analysis of Contemporary African Art”. African Arts 50, n^o 4 (2017): 6‑11. ttps://doi.org/10.1162/AFAR_a_00369.

“There are several reasons the network of contemporary African art is a serious subject of inquiry in the studies of art and globalization. Firstly, there is an overwhelmingly spatial dimension in the discourses within the field. Not only is the curatorial category of contemporary African art actually a toponym, but the spatial reference is also reiterated in exhibition titles, descriptions, etc. […] Secondly, there is an empirical and theoretical incentive to look deeper into what is open uncritically called the “international” or “global” scale of events or actors: convenient labels for avoiding the intricate or maybe confined geography of globalizing cities.”
