积极空间

POSITIVE SPACE

在商业与资本的操纵下,“积极”可能是一个比“消极”更不堪的词语——浸淫在“拜积极教”麻醉剂里（本质上和拜物教并无差异）的艺术行业,积极的奔走在镶嵌于话语权力链条上的美术馆、双年展或者博览会,在这条被认为是走向成功的道路上一路狂奔。

In trade and economics, the term ＂positive＂ is perhaps even more undesirable than its antonym--within the art industry, constantly high on ＂positivism＂ （which is essentially no differ- ent to fetishism）, positivity is embedded within the discourses of those which wield power： museums, biennials, and art fairs, as all rush madly down the path which it is believed leads to success. However, unsurprisingly, when everyone goes about ＂positivity＂ in the same way, those methods inevitably eventually become ne- gated. Over the past few years, the Chinese contemporary art world has seen a wave of new independent collectives and institu- tions, the positive aspect of this wave being a conscious reflection on the so-called ＂centralism＂ of the art industry.
