人性的尺度——何云昌行为艺术

HUMAN SCALE:HE YUNCHANG IN PERFORMANCE

解构你所喜欢的东西——这往往是一个公开的游戏——但你无法解构的是,我们生活中的苦闷、快乐和信仰的表现。这段话大概提供了对行为艺术所做的评判:直接的内涵从根本上有别于我们持续但有限的生活经历,在超出批评理论的期望之外,有苦闷、喜悦和信仰相伴,纠葛在我们参与的游戏当中。的确,在何云昌极端的行为艺术当中,这些用语中的每一个都获得了一连串的意义:游戏、行为、生活、苦闷、快乐、信仰,从持续和耐久两个方面而言,又都具有了强烈的现实意义。

Deconstruct what you like - that' s always an open game - but you can' t deconstruct this:the performance of our lives in their anguish,pleasure and belief.This probably provides a judgement of performance:Its direct implication in(and essential distinction from) the continuous if finite seam ofour lived experience,attended—beyond the expectations ofcritical theory—by angels of anguish, pleasure and belief,and entangled in the games we play.Words that acknowledge the shifting,tectonic overlay of performance both in and of our lives.Indeed each of these terms has acquired a serial significance in the radical art of He Yunchang:game,performance, lives,anguish,pleasure,belief,together with the acute temporal sense,both of lived duration and of endurance,that each implies.
