ongoing renegotiation

Does the highlighted sentence mean "the current discourses about challenging its chosen sites"?

Context:

Echoing precepts articulated by both Deutsche and Kwon, such relational or situational art may be said to contain the potential of revealing a form of ongoing renegotiation or, indeed, troubling of its chosen sites: on a recognition of identity informed by site (for which read ‘the city’) being not only subject to multiple possibilities and complexities of construction but also permanently in transition.

Do not expect any of this to mean anything concrete. The essay is pretentious nonsense. It is possible that some of the terms have been earlier defined, but I doubt it.
