澳门当代艺术的社区性——对于“附近”的书写

Writing for the Nearby:The Community Nature of Macao Contemporary Art

本文主要以澳门近期的展览现场为论述对象。一直以来澳门的当代艺术对于“附近”的关注构成了澳门的当代艺术围绕着社区展开的特质。这种艺术表现的方式和角度并不会呈现以往惯有的艺术叙事和话语,而是从微观和小叙事出发不断地思考我们的“附近”和周遭,将生活的意义,归迹于那些看起来很渺小的事物去思考。烟火气人情味、人文关怀、故事书写构成了澳门社区艺术的主要特点。对于“附近”的关注使得澳门的当代艺术更具有温度,也更容易与大众产生关联,这种以小见大的艺术生产、传播与叙事构成了澳门社区艺术的独特表现形式。

This paper focuses on the recent exhibition scene in Macao.Macao’s contemporary art has always been concerned with“The Nearby”,which constitutes the quality of Macao’s contemporary art that revolves around the community.This approach and perspective of artistic expression do not present the usual artistic narratives and discourses,but rather contemplates our“Nearby”and surroundings from a micro and small narrative.The meaning of life is attributed to thinking about the seemingly small things.The human touch,humanistic care and story writing constitute the main characteristics of Macao community art.This focus on the“The Nearby”makes Macao’s contemporary art more warm and more relevant to the general public.This production,dissemination and narrative of art in a small way constitutes a unique expression of Macao community art.
