从城市点缀到公众参与:纽约公共艺术五十周年回顾

From Urban Decoration to Public Participation: A Review of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Public Art in New York

本文以美国纽约市立博物馆展出的"开放空间中的艺术——纽约公共艺术五十周年"为契机,分析了纽约市公共艺术蓬勃发展的原由,在法律政策、资金和赞助机构的互相支持下,艺术家得以大胆地利用各种媒介和资源,把作品带入开放空间、公共空间,打破了博物馆、美术馆的空间限制。公众则从被动的欣赏者,变为公共艺术的参与者,不仅能参与到作品的创作中,还能发表意见、决定作品去留。

This article takes the opportunity of the "Art in Open Space – The 50th Anniversary of Public Art in New York" at the New York City Museum to analyze the reasons for the booming public art in New York City. With mutual support from legal policies, funding and sponsorship, artists have been able to boldly use various media and resources to bring their works into open spaces and public spaces, breaking the space constraints of museums and art galleries. The public has changed from a passive appreciator to a participant in public art. Not only can they participate in the creation of the work, but they can also express their opinions and decide whether the work is retained.
