重铸面向当代的“艺术”内涵

Redefining the Connotations of “Art” Oriented for the Contemporary Age

艺术学理论对于当下的两个艺术领域处于某种失语状态:一是由艺术人类学重点关注的民族民间艺术和非遗,二是当代艺术。究其因,在于研究者所使用的"艺术"概念所预设的内涵仍然是18世纪以来的"审美的艺术"。故而,亟待重铸和调适"艺术"这个核心范畴的内涵:作为"动词"的艺术,艺术学理论当以艺术创造为中心展开相关研究。艺术是经验与意义在形式中的生成,它以经验为基本内涵,以艺术形式为基本边界,以意义为基本诉求。如此,方能面向自律性艺术之前的民族民间艺术和之后的当代艺术。

There is a certain absence of artistic studies in the contemporary artistic fields. One is the national folk arts and the intangible heritage that have been the highlights of art anthropology; the other is the contemporary arts. The possible reason is the connotation of ＂art＂the researchers employ is still that of ＂aesthetic art＂since the 18 th century.It is thus high time to redefine and adjust the connotations of the core conception of ＂art＂： the artistic theories should carry out the related studies centered on artistic creation as art is an＂ever-changing word＂. Art is produced in the form of experience and significance with experience as its basic connotation,form as its basic boundary and significance as its basic aspirations. Only by this,can it be oriented for the national folk arts that are before the self-disciplinary art and the contemporary art after that.
