艺术的幻象还是社会的微缩?——评“UTOPIA艺术理想国”青年艺术家年展

Illusion of Art or Miniature of Society?——A Review of the Young Artists Annual Exhibition “UTOPIA in Art”

"艺术理想国"展览是一个模式新颖的展览。这篇展评向我们展示了策展思路、展览形式、参展作品等各方面的信息。更为重要的是,在展览的喧哗背后,作者对作为现象级艺术事件的青年艺术展的发展本身作出了反思。我们读到的不是对展览的片面赞美,还看到了当下的问题所在。这种理性反思的态度,在近年来批评界对艺术展览的评论中较少出现。此可谓难能可贵的声音。

“UTOPIA in Art” is an exhibition in a new mode. In this review, the author illustrates the ideas of curation, form of the exhibition, and artworks shown at the exhibition, etc. More importantly, behind the hustle and bustle of the exhibition, the author refects on the development of the youth art exhibition as a phenomenal art event. Readers will find in the paper where the present problems lie, rather than one-sided praise for the exhibition. Such rational and objective criticism of an art exhibition is rarely seen in recent years. Indeed, it is a valuable voice in this area.
