“另类”与“日常”:城市更新中的艺术空间

"Alternative"and"Everyday":Art Space in Urban Renewal

艺术空间是城市更新的一种伴生现象和推进手段。当前国内艺术空间的大量涌现,体现了民众对艺术的向往与追求,但也面临形式趋同、内容空洞的困境。全球范围来看,艺术空间起源于“另类”空间。它们曾经具有鲜明的斗争性、自发性、自反性、自觉性,随时代环境和外部条件的变化,陷入类似的困境。相关实践案例表明,建立社会联系以使艺术发生,是艺术空间的应有之义,为摆脱这一中外艺术空间共同面临的局面提供了参照。艺术空间以参与在地日常而获得社会性,为艺术生产提供可能。它们也发现了替代性的城市生活方式,进而与城市更新形成更紧密的关联。

Art space constitutes an accompanying phenomenon and a means of promoting urban renewal.The current proliferation of art spaces in China reflects a soaring desire and pursuit of art,but it also faces the dilemma of homogenization in form and emptiness in content.Globally,art spaces originated from‘alternative'spaces,once characterized by distinctive struggle,spontaneity,self-reflexivity,and selfconsciousness,but have fallen into similar predicaments as the external conditions have changed.Relevant practice cases show that establishing social connections to make art happen is the proper meaning of art space,which provides a reference to get rid of the difficulties common to art spaces worldwide.Art spaces gain sociality by participating in the local everyday life,providing possibilities for artistic production.They also help discover alternative urban ways of life and thus form a closer association with urban renewal.
