当代雕塑材料目的化简论

A Brief Study of Contemporary Sculpture Material' s Purposes

在当代大众文化崛起、艺术泛化和艺术非审美性等现象出现的文化语境中,雕塑材料开始以媒介符号和理念两种艺术形态主动介入到雕塑艺术活动中来,它不再是艺术家雕塑活动中的被选择对象。在功能上,材料突破了传统意义上仅停留在实用性、可塑性和持久性等特性范畴,从而使"无限定性"成为当代雕塑材料发展的主流形态,当代雕塑艺术开始步入一个以材料为主的"泛雕塑"时代,任何特殊手段和工艺都可以用来参与艺术家的艺术实践,雕塑家选择材料的目的也变得更加明确。

The rise of contemporary popular cultures,generalized arts,and art non- aesthetic character in the context of culture,sculpture material has begun to actively involve itself into sculpture art activities by means of two art forms,i. e. media symbols and notions. Sculpture material is no longer the object selected by an artist in his sculpture activities. As far as function is concerned,the material has broken through its traditional functions,i. e. practicability,plasticity and durability,thus the 'infinitive nature 'has become the main form of the development of contemporary sculpture material. The contemporary sculpture art has steeped into the era of 'pan- sculpture'with priority given to materials. Any special devices and technology can be used to be involved into the artistic practice of the artists. In this way,the purpose for the sculptor to select the material has become clearer.
