藝術平民化? 藝術速食化?

Jackie談到了一個很好的題目:『讓藝術的門檻變低. 以大眾社會的角度來思考』。

『藝術平民化』是藝術社會學的古典問題。在藝術史上,曾經有波依斯主張『人人都可以當藝術家』,在美國偶發藝術的A.Kaprow主張的『藝術是生活,生活是藝術』,藝術家試圖模糊觀眾與藝術家的階級關係,來追求藝術創作的新能量。其實,他們還是在追求他們的藝術目的。而且他們在西方當代藝術史上還是菁英中的菁英,至今歐美大眾看待他們的創作,還是以難以理解甚至認為『神秘』居多。但對專業的藝術學者來說,他們的創作是最接近觀眾、最強調客體體驗的美學態度。由此看來『藝術』是一門多麼矯飾的學問!『藝術』是什麼?誰來詮釋它?法國的媒體社會學家舍吉丹尼(Serge Daney)就說『是藝術在做藝術,而不是藝術家。』,當然更不是觀眾。藝術的門檻不會因為一種藝術形式的討好而變低,因為藝術,只是整套社會化學方程式中的一個參數,其餘的是更龐大的社會權力架構對藝術風格的影響。『藝術家』與大眾之間的關係,存在著種種不同層次的權力佈置,不管是美學藝術自治的意識型態,或是機構化的藝術權力機制,還有市場化的資本操作…等。而且所謂的『大眾』、『平民』也都不是純潔的,他們的審美態度與參與的目的各有不同,有些人在藝術展覽中尋求精神性的美學共感,也有人是拿香跟拜找『某種被認可的社會價值』的流行風潮,而且事實上『藝術家』也像工人一樣要討一口飯吃,沒有必要把他們神聖化。 Continue reading ‘藝術平民化? 藝術速食化?’

Other than Yourself – An Investigation between Inner and Outer Space

Other than Yourself–An Investigation between Inner and Outer Space presents a range of works, mostly drawn from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary collection, that reference either the immediate space that surrounds or serves the artists’ actions and experimentation or the space that unfolds through the artwork itself. These particular spaces allow for an examination of how various spatial orders are constructed along a shifting scale from intimate (body), to private (home), to interpersonal (social), to material/institutional (economic, political, cultural)—all based on an interdependent notion of the self.

a whole different way of understanding communication

The first part is in my “native language,” and then the second part provides a translation, or at least an explanation. This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.
