1990年代当代艺术中的女性身份建构与视觉表述

The Construction and Visual Expression of Female Identity in the Contemporary Arts of 1990s

1990年代随着社会政治经济的开放,女性形象从身体、行为、气质、观念等方面都发生了新的改变。在中国当代艺术的创作中,女性作为构建时代文化的符号出现在新生代艺术家的创作中。作为男性的他者以结构、挪用、戏仿、拼贴等全新的叙事策略描绘了当代大众消费时代的文化图景;作为女性自身在女性艺术家作品中出现了女性自我形象的重构和多元叙事表达的图像。

New changes occurred in body, behavior, temperament and concept concerning the female in 1990s with the openness in politics and economy. The female as the symbol in constructing epochal culture emerged in the works of contemporary new-generation artists. The male as the Other portrayed the cultural landscape of the contempo- rary era of mass consumption with completely new narrative strategies, such as, structuralism, borrowing, parody and collage; while the women artists as the female themselves reconstructed their own images in multiple narratives.
