重构当代美术史:基于艺术中“底层叙事”模块的思考

Reconstructing Contemporary History of Fine Arts:a Reflection on the “Grass- root Narrative”Module in Arts

"底层叙事"是中国当代艺术中的重要现象。它以真实再现和不加修饰的笔法捕捉人物的精神面貌和生活细节,描绘与刻画社会"底层人物"的生存状态,表现出艺术对社会现实问题的关涉。中国当代艺术中"底层叙事"的意义与价值不仅仅在于对当代艺术风格与美学品格的确认,其模块化的叙事模式还为思考当代美术史提供了一个新的维度。本文尝试提供一种侧重艺术功能的模块化写作模式,将打破基于时间叙事的当代美术史的现有书写模式,为重构当代美术史提供新的思考路径。

As an important phenomenon in contemporary Chinese arts, ＂grass- root narrative＂ depicts the living conditions of the people at the bottom of society with realistic and unpolished representation to seize their mental outlook and details in life and thus conveys arts＇ concern for current social problems. The significance and value of the ＂grass - root narrative＂ are not only due to its confirmation with the style and quality of contemporary art, but it modular narrative pattern offers a new light to reflect the history of contemporary fine arts as well. This paper attempts to suggest a modular writing pattern emphasizing artistic function and it will break the existing pattern that is based on temporal narrative and thus offers a new way to reconstruct the history of contemporary fine arts.
