“专注性”与“剧场性”的博弈:策展语境下作品观看方式的再辨析

The Game between"Absorption"and"Theatricality":Re-Analyzing the Way of Viewing Works in the Context of Curatorial Work

当今的展览生态已经呈现出剧场化、舞台化的倾向,艺术作品的本体意义正在被整体建造展览空间的非作品因素所消解,观众对于作品本体的“专注性”被逐渐稀释,更倾向于关注作品之外的空间以及作品所营造出的视觉刺激。再辩“剧场性”与“专注性”对于考察“展览—观众”的关系问题尤为重要。伴随“剧场”的概念引入展览策划的语境之中,传统型展览的表达已经对观众“失效”,无法吸引其进入展览语境中。为应对这一境况,策展人也在逐渐突破边界寻求能够调动公众“专注性”的方式,以此来抵制“剧场性”对于“专注性”的破坏。但两者之间并非非此即彼的关系,而是存在着张力与博弈的关系。对于两者的倚重或偏向成为策展人在不同策展语境之下从事策展活动的不同选择。

Today's exhibition ecology has shown a tendency towards theatricalization and stage-like.The ontological meaning of artworks is being eliminated by the non-work factors of the overall construction of the exhibition space.The audience's"Absorption"on the work itself is gradually diluted,and they are more inclined to pay attention to the space outside the work and the visual stimulation created by the work.Re-debating"theaterism"and"absorption"is particularly important for examining the relationship between"exhibition-audience".With the introduction of the concept of"theater"into the context of exhibition planning,the expression of traditional exhibitions has"failed"for the audience and cannot attract them into the exhibition context.In response to this situation,curators are also gradually breaking through boundaries to seek ways to mobilize the public's"Absorption"in order to resist the destruction of"theaterism"on"Absorption".However,the relationship between the two is not an either-or relationship,but a relationship of tension and game.The reliance or preference on the two has become a different choice for curators to engage in curatorial activities in different curatorial contexts.
