公共艺术研究:社会学理论与方法

Study of Public Art: Theory and Methodology of Sociology

长期以来我们对公共艺术的研究基本上是从艺术的角度出发的。而随着公共艺术与社会生活各领域关系的日益加深,对公共艺术的研究如果还局限于艺术的角度那是远远不够的。社会学的理论和研究方法给我们提供了一种新的研究思路。它可以从公共艺术与社会政治、经济、法律、艺术等各个方面的联系出发,揭示其内在结构和运作规律,为我们更深入理解公共艺术提供一个新的视角。

Over a long period, our study of public art is mainly based on the art itself. But this method of study, with the ever-increasingly close tie between public art and other subjects in social life, reveals its limitation. It is the theory and the study method of sociology that supplies us with a kind of new perspective. By this way, from the connection with other subjects such as politics, economy, law, etc. , the internal structure and opening pattern of public art can be further disclosed.
