参与性艺术的困境:关系美学与关系艺术的批判性解读

The Predicament of Participation Art:A Critical Interpretation of Relational Aesthetics and Relational Art

关系美学是法国艺术批评家尼古拉斯·博瑞奥德针对1990年以后兴起的互动性艺术、参与性艺术提出的一种理论主张。本文将从关系美学的思想路径、关系美学与当代前卫艺术、关系美学的可行性三个方面分析这种新型艺术模式在当今艺术世界的实践方式和效果,从而反思互动性的艺术是否可称为一种新的“美学”,它又将如何作用于当今社会,以此探索今日艺术介入社会的多重维度。

Relational Aesthetics is a theoretical assertion proposed by the French art critic Nicolas Bourriaud for interactive art and participatory art that have emerged since 1990s.This essay is an analysis of the ways of practice and effects of this new art mode in contemporary art world,from three aspects:the relationship path of relationship aesthetics,its relation to the contemporary avant-garde art,and its practicability,thus reflecting on whether interactive art can be called a new kind of"aesthetics"and how it will affect today's society.This essay is to give a reflection on these problems,so as to explore the multiple dimensions of current art’s intervention to the contemporary society.
