I have been writing reviews, mostly on artscriticatl.com though some on burnaway.org, that explore (by implication) the theories behind a regionally inflected but globally focused art; what it would require, whether it is possible, whether it is possible for the world to comprehend the stakes behind the local in ways that would make the local of interest to all the world's other localities.
While I ponder whether it is possible to put all of this in a generalized blog post, I shall say that I am pleased with Adrian Searle's description in the Guardian of Turner Prize 2010 winner Susan Philipsz' work as affording "difficult yet accessible pleasures."

Hi, i just want to say hello to the community
I would like too, to know whether it is possible for the world to comprehend the stakes behind the local in ways that would make the local of interest to all the world's other localities. The first step, of course, is to actually come to know a particular place as really "here." Very few have that experience any more. Those who don't might then be toward its affordances. I really do hope you develop your thoughts on this some more.
