无有存在与艺术

“Nenone” (being in non-being) and Art

文章作为对朱青生新出版专著《艺术学理论》的补充,试图建构一种基于当代思维的艺术本体论。文章反思西方艺术史上不同的艺术本体论,以及艺术发展语境中的理论层面。近四十年中国当代艺术的研究,以及不同于西方的中国艺术传统与观念,其中积累的价值和潜在的未开发领域都为当下建构一种新的艺术本体论提供了契机。文章借鉴和批判已有的方法论,提出“无有存在”的概念,将艺术本体论与人的本性和世界的本质联系起来。无有存在是对当代艺术实践的理论预设,期望当代艺术能够成为健全完整人性的一部分;也只有在这个意义上,当代艺术才能实践其本体论意义和价值。

As a supplement to the newly published monograph“Art Theory” by LaoZhu,this article attempts to construct a new ontology of art based on contemporary thinking.The article reflects on the different artistic ontologies in the history of Western art and the theoretical aspects in the context of the development of art.Based on the research of Chinese contemporary art in the past 40 years,the article studies for a new ontology of art with Chinese art traditions and concepts which are different from those in the West.It accumulates value,provide opportunities for the potential unexplored areas.The article refers to and critisizes the methodology of both sides to set up the concept of “Nenone”(being in non-being),connecting the ontology of art with the human nature and nature of the world.“Nenone”(being in non-being) is a theoretical foresight for the practice of contemporary art,and it is also expected that contemporary art can become a sound and complete part of human nature;and only in this sense could contemporary art practice its ontological meaning and value.
