新类型公共艺术及其中国实践

New Genre Public Art and Its Application in China

1994年美国学者苏珊·蕾西首次提出了“新类型公共艺术”理论并将“公共艺术”中“公共”二字的重心由“公共场所”转移到对“公共性”和“公众”的理解上,提供了一种不同于以往的把握公共艺术历史经验的方式。在此框架下,中国新类型公共艺术的发展总体呈现为随着经济发展与国力提升对我国自身公共性理念自觉的历史。本文试图探讨这一新类型公共艺术本土化发展的理路,并为中国的公共艺术研究进行补充。

In 1994,American scholar Suzanne Lacy put forward the theory of“new genre public art”for the first time and shifted the focus of the word“public”from“public places”to the understanding of“public nature”and“the public”,providing a different way of grasping the historical experience of public art.Within this framework,the development of new genre public art in China demonstrates in general a raised awareness of public nature as the country promotes its economic development and enhances its national strength.This paper tries to discuss the pathway of new genre public art development in China and to supplement the research on public art in the country.
