主题性陈列展在美术馆职能建设中的地位

The Position of Subject Exhibitions in Function Construction of Art Museums

主题性陈列展是包括美术在内的视觉艺术自身传播和接受的要求。视觉艺术特别是美术作品因为其相对固态化和静止性的物理属性,因为其非情节性和叙事性的高度视觉强度,所以需要有相对稳定的空间和持久的时间来展示。不仅单件的美术作品如此,以数件或众多相同主题的作品为集群的具有历史和文化脉络的主题性艺术展览,更对美术馆的空间规划、布置、使用和阶段性工作,提出了要求。如何在相对集中的空间和长久的时间里,让原本散落、个别和孤立的艺术作品,能够在历史和文化的坐标建构中串联起来,给没有或较少美术史和视觉阅读经验的观众营造出一种视觉与体验的长廊,从而使后者在今后的视觉接受和体验的行为中,能够储备更多行之有效的艺术知识和发现能力,是主题性陈列展对于推进美术馆职能建设的重要一环。

Subject exhibitions respond to the requirement of propagation and acceptance of visual art, including fine art. Due to their relatively fixed and static physical properties and their non-episodic, non-narrative high visual intensity, a work of visual art, especially fine art, needs a comparatively stable space and long period for its exhibition. It applies to not only a single work of art. Subject art exhibitions consisting of several or many works of the same theme and with historical and cultural contexts have all the more specific requirements of the space planning, arrangement, use and work of a certain stage of an art museum. It is an important link in facilitating the function construction of art museums to group the originally scattered, individual and isolated works of art together in the coordinate of history and culture in a relatively concentrated space and long period, creating a gallery, of vision and experience for the audience with few or no knowledge of art history and visual reading experiences, thereby allowing them to accumulate more effective art knowledge and to develop their ability of discovery in their future behavior of visual acceptance and experience.
