当代艺术的“媒介”构建:“门槛展览”的催化效应

The Construction of“Media”in Contemporary Art:“Threshold Exhibition”as Catalyst

媒介多样化和观念多样化是当代艺术的主要特征,而是否能够像传统艺术史按照古典审美评价体系构建一样,按照某一个独立评价体系构建一部当代艺术史?这显然是个难题。当代艺术史的基础依然是艺术作品和艺术家,不同的是对当代艺术展览的倚重。“第二次世界大战”后的艺术问题多样化也分散化了,而其形成潮流化关注和讨论的主要途径是展览,并且每个时期都有承前启后的“门槛展览”,成为当代艺术媒介和观念发展的催化剂。每一个重要展览的产生都缘于具有敏锐的审美感知、丰富的审美经验、准确的审美判断以及创新力品质和思想的策展人,策展人是艺术和公众的催化剂,也是展览与历史的催化剂。

The diversity of media and concepts is the main feature of contemporary art.Can contemporary art history be constructed according to an independent evaluation system,just as traditional art history is constructed according to the classical aesthetic evaluation system?This is obviously a problem.Contemporary art history is still based on art works and artists,but the difference is the reliance on contemporary art exhibitions.After the Second World War,art issues became diversified and dispersed,and exhibitions were the main way to form trendy concerns and discussions.In each period,there were"threshold exhibitions"linking past and future,which became the catalysts for the contemporary art media and concepts.Every important exhibition comes from the curators with sensitive aesthetic perception,rich aesthetic experience,accurate aesthetic judgment,innovative qualities and ideas.Curators are catalysts for art and the public,as well as for exhibitions and art history.
