从后现代到别现代

From Postmodern to Bie-modern

本文回应了王建疆教授提出的"别现代主义"理论,并以此批驳了西方艺术评论界对中国当代艺术的成见。后现代根植于西方思维框架,因而无法准确地描述中国多重历史维度混杂的现状。安迪·沃霍尔与中国当代艺术作品虽有相似的外观,但却指向迥然不同的意义。前者通过将情感从图像中剥离,构建出创作者与其表现主题的间距;后者则通过对既往艺术风格的反讽式运用,展现出前现代、现代与后现代同处共时空间的别现代特质。因此,必须借助一种能够厘清中西差异的理论方法,以区划出形成中国当代艺术作品"别现代"特质的复杂历史层级。中国学者应当致力于开掘这一理路,以促使西方评论界更好地了解中国当代艺术。在当下学术语境中,我们需要正视中西思想观念的差异性,认真聆听来自中国的理论声音,注重来自中国本土的主义。

The purpose of this paper responds to the idea raised by Professor Wang Jianjiang that what China is experiencing is a unique form of Modernism so called Bie-modern and refutes western assessments’prejudice on Chinese contemporary art.Postmodern roots in western frame which cannot describe the present of Chinese accurately.Although the works of Andy Warhol and Chinese contemporary artists have the similar appearance,they have different meaning.Warhol creates distance from subject by draining emotion from image while Chinese contemporary art exemplifies the unique of Bie-modren where premodern,modern and postmodern all live on the same space.In the current situation,we must realize the difference between Chinese and western thought and listen to the voice made by China carefully.
