传统资源转换与中国式当代艺术的创造——以“闽系”当代艺术家为例

The Transformation of Traditional Resources and the Creation of Chinese-Style Contemporary Art:Taking Min-School Contemporary Artists as an Example

从中国当代艺术四十多年的发展历程来看,如何调用传统资源始终是创作和理论界的核心问题。尤其是在中国式现代化建设的新时代语境下,这一问题成为中国当代艺术未来发展的前提考量。面向世界的中国式当代艺术,必须以富于当代气质和中国底蕴的创作展现当代艺术的“中国方式”“中国气派”,这可从两个紧密依存的向度展开。一、“世界性-人类性”的向度:着眼于普遍性的当代现实和人类境遇的关切与呈示;二、“本土性-中国性”的向度:着重于材质的“根性”激活与中国现实的“接地性”表达。本文以部分优秀艺术家在上述方面的实践为例,为中国式当代艺术的传统转换、更生提供启示。

Based on over 40 years of development in Chinese contemporary art,the creative and theoretical circles have consistently grappled with the core issue of how to utilize and creatively transform our national traditional resources.This issue has assumed heightened significance in the context of the New Era of Chinese-style modernization,emerging as a prerequisite for the future trajectory of Chinese contemporary art.In facing the global stage,Chinese contemporary art is tasked with showcasing the“China’s way”and“China’s style”through the infusion of contemporary spiritual elements and the rich tapestry of Chinese history.This imperative unfolds across two closely interdependent dimensions.Firstly,the dimension of“globality-intercommunity”emphasizes a deep engagement with humanity’s collective destiny and the prevailing contemporary realities.Secondly,the dimension of“locality-Chineseness”focuses on activating the“roots”of materials and articulating the essence of Chinese reality.In recent years,some outstanding artists have embarked on fruitful endeavors within these realms,offering inspiration for the traditional transformation and rejuvenation of Chinese contemporary art.
