走向实践阐释的艺术理论--西方当代艺术理论生成的微观态势及其启示

Art Theory Towards Practical Interpretation--The Micro Situation of Western Contemporary Art Theory and Its Enlightenment

西方当代艺术理论不是一个同质化、单线性的状态,而是由不同思想阵营、知识力量构成的一个对话的、循环的、再生产知识系统,在这一系统中,理论的实践阐释尤为重要。在这方面,辛西娅·弗里兰的新感知理论、特里·巴雷特的综合阐释理论、马克·盖特雷恩的意义解释学理论是较为独特的案例,其共同特点是注重对当代艺术的实践阐释,推进了对当代艺术的理解与传播,具有较突出的社会文化意义。这种微观型的艺术理论与哲学理论、文化理论共同构成了西方当代艺术理论的整体风貌。作为理论生成的普遍规律之一,实践阐释的艺术理论给中国当代艺术理论带来了新启示,即立足中国现实,加强艺术的实践阐释与文化关注,促进中国当代艺术理论的特色发展。

The western contemporary art theory is not a homogenous and single linear state,but a dialogue,circulation and reproduction knowledge system composed of different ideological camps and knowledge forces.In this system,the practical interpretation of the theory is particularly important.In this regard,Cynthia Freeland’s new perception theory,Terry Barrett’s comprehensive interpretation theory and Mark Getlein’s meaning hermeneutics theory are relatively unique cases.Their common feature is that they pay attention to the practical interpretation of contemporary art,promote the understanding and dissemination of contemporary art,and have more prominent social and cultural significance.This micro art theory,together with philosophy theory and cultural theory,constitutes the overall style of western contemporary art theory.As one of the universal laws of theory generation,the art theory of practical interpretation has brought new enlightenment to Chinese contemporary art theory,that is,based on Chinese reality,strengthening the practical interpretation and cultural attention of art,and promoting the characteristic development of Chinese contemporary art theory.
