During the early development of the People’s Republic of China, major cities were industrialised and historical architecture was severely neglected. The Cultural Revolution (1966-76) provided an extraordinary example of political mobilisation directed against the material and cultural vestiges of the past. During the infamous movement of the Red Guards, China’s public properties and cultural relics were attacked and numerous art treasures and artefacts were destroyed. The Open-Door policy beginning in 1978 instigated another ‘revolution’ – of economic reform and urban transformation. Thirty years of rapid urbanisation have meant that few traditional constructions have survived, and even the buildings and complexes built during the early PRC proved to be transitory, once they had been removed, reconstructed or replaced.
在中华人民共和国的早期发展过程中,主要城市工业化,历史建筑被严重忽视。文化大革命(1966-76)提供了一个针对过去物质和文化遗迹的政治动员的非凡例子。在臭名昭著的红卫兵运动中,中国的公共财产和文物遭到袭击,许多艺术珍品和手工艺品被毁。1978年开始的门户开放政策引发了另一场“革命”——经济改革和城市转型。三十年的快速城市化意味着很少有传统建筑幸存下来,即使是中华人民共和国早期建造的建筑和综合体,一旦被拆除、重建或替换,也被证明是短暂的。

Abstract This article focuses on the China pavilion of the 57th Venice Biennale as a case study. The theme of the pavilion, Continuum ‐ Generation by Generation, revolved around the long history of Chinese tradition and offered a visual re-elaboration of it by means of contemporary art and folk art. The works exhibited drew on Chinese mythology, masterpieces of Chinese art history, philosophical concepts and handcraft traditions, hence presenting a variegated image of (contemporary) Chinese art. This exhibition offers opportunities for a critical reading of the relationship between contemporary art and tradition implied by the theme Continuum, and I will explore the narrative and curatorial discourse it presented to the audience.
本文以第57届威尼斯双年展中国馆为个案进行研究。展馆的主题是“一代接一代”,围绕着中国传统的悠久历史,通过当代艺术和民间艺术对其进行了视觉上的重新诠释。展出的作品借鉴了中国神话、中国艺术史上的杰作、哲学观念和手工艺传统,从而呈现了(当代)中国艺术的多元化形象。本次展览为我们提供了一个批判性阅读“连续体”主题所暗示的当代艺术与传统之间关系的机会,我将探索它呈现给观众的叙事和策展话语。

Beyond the cinematic: Reinventing Chinese martial arts through new media art practices 超越电影:通过新媒体艺术实践重塑中国武术

Abstract This article argues that the reinvention of Chinese martial arts through new media art practices reveals new aesthetic potentialities not readily available in the conventional cinematic medium. While martial arts cinema has captivated the global audience with visual and visceral excitements, most notably through the new-style wuxia films of the 1960s and the kung fu craze of the 1970s, it focuses on representational strategies characteristic of imaginative irreversibility and passive immersivity. The former refers to the rigid segregation of reality and fantasy that discourages the possibility of reversal, whereas the latter describes the immersive wuxia and kung fu spectacles as a disembodied experience, contrary to the core of martial arts learning and practice. To address the above issues, martial arts-inspired new media artworks, such as susuan pui san lok's RoCH Fans & Legends (2015) and Jeffery Shaw, Sarah Kenderdine and Hing Chao's Lingnan Hung Kuen Across the Century (2017), look for alternative approaches to represent martial arts imaginations for the goals of preserving an intangible cultural heritage and promoting an intellectual reflexivity. In so doing, not only do the new media artworks help to reposition Chinese martial arts as an everyday art form via conventional art spaces worldwide through the transnational and transregional flow of cinema, but they also establish the subtle connection between traditional martial art and contemporary art in the context of globalization.
摘要本文认为,通过新媒体艺术实践对中国武术的重塑,揭示了传统电影媒体所不具备的新的美学潜力。虽然武侠电影以视觉和内心的兴奋吸引了全球观众,尤其是通过20世纪60年代的新型武侠电影和70年代的功夫热,但它关注的是具有想象力不可逆转和被动沉浸性特征的具象策略。前者指的是现实与幻想的严格隔离,这阻碍了逆转的可能性,而后者则将身临其境的武侠和功夫场面描述为一种无实体的体验,与武术学习和实践的核心背道而驰。为了解决上述问题,以武术为灵感的新媒体艺术作品,如苏的《RoCH Fans&Legends》(2015)和肖的《Sarah Kenderdine》和邢超的《跨越世纪的岭南宏权》(2017),都在寻找替代方法来表现武术想象力,以保护非物质文化遗产和促进智力反思。新媒体艺术不仅有助于通过电影的跨国和跨地区流动,通过世界范围内的传统艺术空间,将中国武术重新定位为一种日常艺术形式,还建立了全球化背景下传统武术与当代艺术之间的微妙联系。

China's ancient past in its contemporary art: On the politics of time and nation branding at the Venice Biennale 当代艺术中的中国古代:威尼斯双年展的时间政治与民族品牌

Abstract This article examines the China Pavilion at the 2017 Venice Biennale through an exploration of temporality. It argues that the pavilion's deployment of a politics of time ‐ by mobilizing China's dynastic past and its traditional arts to enhance the present ‐ constructs a mode of cultural timelessness that sustains a stultifying visual and discursive regime. Touting the theme of 'Continuum ‐ Generation by Generation', the pavilion paid a lofty tribute to folk-art practices such as embroidery and shadow play, elevating two paintings from the Song Dynasty as the fount of contemporary artistic imagination. This recourse to the past mirrors a predictable and safe representational strategy often mobilized by the country to shape its own public and media image on the global stage. In view of this, the pavilion can be more constructively investigated as an exercise in image and perception management, or nation branding, which reveals the self-narratives that the country embraces. Nation branding serves as a complementary analytical lens that probes the instrumentalization of Chinese traditions, history and past, while crystallizing some parallel visual logics and aims of contemporary art. Aesthetics and nation branding are, therefore, conjoined to question the shared visuality that perpetuates, to borrow a term from Rey Chow, the 'affect of pastness' that obscures a more timely and inventive imaginary of the country.
本文通过对时间性的探索来审视2017年威尼斯双年展中国馆。文章认为,展馆对时间政治的部署——通过调动中国王朝的过去和传统艺术来增强现在——构建了一种文化永恒的模式,维持了一种无聊的视觉和话语制度。展馆以“生生不息——世代相传”为主题,向刺绣和皮影等民间艺术实践致敬,并将两幅宋代绘画提升为当代艺术想象的源泉。这种对过去的求助反映了一种可预测和安全的代表性战略,国家经常动员这种战略来塑造自己在全球舞台上的公众和媒体形象。鉴于此,展馆可以作为一种形象和感知管理或国家品牌推广的实践,更有建设性地进行研究,这揭示了这个国家所拥抱的自我叙述。民族品牌作为一个互补的分析镜头,在探究中国传统、历史和过去的工具化的同时,也明确了当代艺术的一些平行的视觉逻辑和目的。因此,美学和民族品牌结合在一起,质疑共同的视觉效果,借用周蕾的话说,这种视觉效果是“过去的影响”,它掩盖了一个更及时、更有创造力的国家想象。

Tradition and transmission: Shifting epistemological and (art-)historical grounds of contemporary art's relation to the past 传统与传播:当代艺术与过去关系的认识论和(艺术)历史基础的转变

Abstract This article takes artworks by Ai Weiwei that engage with traditions, art historical, art critical and curatorial receptions of these works, and (art-)historical discourses on the 'critical problem of tradition' as the starting point to re-consider contemporary art's relationship with tradition. It adopts a critical global art historical perspective decentring universalized modern western frameworks and uncovering how contemporary art's relation to the past in today's spatially and temporally disjunctive global world has to be read from multiple and transculturally entangled historical, epistemological and geo-cultural perspectives.
本文以艾未未作品中涉及传统、艺术史、艺术批评和策展接受的作品,以及(艺术史)关于“传统批判问题”的话语为出发点,重新思考当代艺术与传统的关系。它采用了一种批判性的全球艺术史视角,去中心化的现代西方框架,揭示了当代艺术与过去的关系,在今天的空间和时间上的分离的全球世界中,必须从多重和跨文化纠缠的历史、认识论和地缘文化的角度来解读。

Immutability and impermanence in Qiu Zhijie's work: From Buddhism to New Confucianism to Mainland New Confucianism 邱志杰作品中的无常与无常:从佛教到新儒家再到大陆新儒家

Abstract 'The need to go back to the past' is central to Qiu Zhijie (b. 1969)'s understanding of human agency, and in consequence is central to his artistic endeavour. By 'the past' Qiu means Chinese (immutable) history and identity, based on a sense of impermanence. Chinese philosophy has informed his work from its beginning in the 1990s, as he imagined calligraphic performances, infused his installations and photographs with explicit references to Buddhist sutras and Koan. Since 2000 he has peppered his discourse and curating practices with implicit references to Confucianism (such as the celebration of the master/student relationship, the search for social harmony). Initial works used a mix of western contemporary and Chinese traditional art forms, and were concerned to the cultivation of the self. The latter have become associated with social aims such as diffusing art to the masses, promoting ancient arts and crafts in curated projects that link the artist's individual development with that of the collective. Qiu designates this holistic aim as 'Total art'. Critics explain Qiu's concept of Total art using the Wagnerian concept of Gesamtkunstwerk or of post-structural criticality of history. Others compare Qiu's endeavour to Republican New Confucianism. Still others consider it as part of Chinese literati tradition, in an ahistorical perspective. We want to emphasize rather its relation to Mainland New Confucianist philosophy that emerged since the millennium, which is characterized by a will to use ontological Chinese values to defend a political vision of Confucianism that is both social and authoritarian, essentially Chinese and opened to the world. This explains how Qiu reconciles his view of 'going to the past', with his participation in the Government's sponsored international programmes. We shall question its consequence on Qiu's position as global 'avant-garde'.
摘要“回到过去的需要”是邱志杰(b.1969)理解人的能动性的核心,也是他艺术努力的核心。邱所说的“过去”是指中国(不变的)历史和身份,基于一种无常的感觉。从20世纪90年代开始,中国哲学就影响了他的作品,他想象书法表演,在装置和照片中明确提及佛经和Koan。自2000年以来,他在演讲和策展实践中一直隐含着对儒家思想的提及(例如庆祝师生关系,寻求社会和谐)。最初的作品融合了西方当代艺术和中国传统艺术的形式,关注自我的培养。后者已与社会目标联系在一起,如向大众传播艺术,在策划的项目中推广古代艺术和工艺,将艺术家的个人发展与集体发展联系起来。邱将这一整体目标定为“整体艺术”。批评家们用瓦格纳的“格桑特昆斯特韦克”或“历史的后结构批判”概念来解释邱的“整体艺术”概念。其他人则把邱的努力比作共和新儒家。还有一些人从非历史的角度认为它是中国文人传统的一部分。我们想强调的是,它与千禧年以来出现的大陆新儒家哲学的关系,其特点是愿意使用本体论的中国价值观来捍卫儒家的政治愿景,这种政治愿景既是社会的,又是专制的,本质上是中国的,并向世界开放。这就解释了邱如何调和他“回到过去”的观点,以及他参与政府赞助的国际项目。我们将质疑它对邱全球“前卫”地位的影响。

Abstract This article discusses the approaches of Chinese intellectuals and artists to tradition throughout the twentieth century. Tradition in China is understood, on the one hand, as a notion born in a framework constructed by twentieth-century Chinese intellectuals and their realm of senses and concept of time, on the other hand as a notion driven by modernity and capitalism to anchor a work of art to a distinguishable point of time. Hence, the article will first review a series of debates on old and new culture that have taken place since the May Fourth Movement. It will then move on to discuss how contemporary artists made peace with tradition since the '85 New Wave, a new era when artists are also subject to market forces of supply and demand.
摘要本文论述了整个二十世纪中国知识分子和艺术家对传统的态度。一方面,中国的传统被理解为一个诞生于20世纪中国知识分子及其感官领域和时间概念构建的框架中的概念,另一方面,它被理解为现代性和资本主义驱动的一个概念,目的是将一件艺术作品锚定在一个可区分的时间点。因此,本文将首先回顾五四以来发生的一系列关于新旧文化的争论。然后,它将继续讨论自85年新浪潮以来,当代艺术家如何与传统和平相处,这是一个艺术家也受制于市场供求力量的新时代。

Metamorphosis of a butterfly: Neo-liberal subjectivation and queer autonomy in Xiyadie's papercutting art 蝴蝶的蜕变:西雅蝶剪纸艺术中的新自由主义主体化与酷儿自主性

Abstract Celebrated as 'China's Tom of Finland', Xiyadie is probably one of the best-known queer artists living in China today. His identity as a gay man from rural China and his method of using the Chinese folk art of papercutting for queer artistic expression make him a unique figure in contemporary Chinese art. As the first academic article on the artist and his works, this article examines Xiyadie's transformation of identity in life and his representation of queer experiences through the art of papercutting. Using a critical biographical approach, in tandem with an analysis of his representative artworks, I examine the transformation of Xiyadie's identity from a folk artist to a queer artist. In doing so, I delineate the transformation and reification of human subjectivity and creativity under transnational capitalism. Meanwhile, I also seek possible means of desubjectivation and human agency under neo-liberal capitalism by considering the role of art in this picture. This article situates Xiyadie's life and artworks in a postsocialist context where class politics gave way to identity politics in cultural production. It calls for a reinvigoration of Marxist and socialist perspectives for a nuanced critical understanding of contemporary art production and social identities.
摘要被誉为“中国的芬兰汤姆”的西雅蒂可能是当今中国最著名的酷儿艺术家之一。他作为一个来自中国农村的同性恋者的身份,以及他利用中国民间剪纸艺术进行酷儿艺术表达的方法,使他成为中国当代艺术中一个独特的人物。运用批判传记的方法,结合对其代表性作品的分析,考察了西雅第从民间艺术家到酷儿艺术家的身份转变。在这样做的过程中,我描绘了跨国资本主义下人类主体性和创造性的转变和具体化。同时,我也通过考虑艺术在这幅画面中的作用,寻求在新自由资本主义下去客体化和人类能动性的可能途径。本文将西雅第的生活和艺术置于后社会主义语境中,在文化生产中阶级政治让位给身份政治。它呼吁重新激发马克思主义和社会主义的观点,对当代艺术生产和社会身份进行细致入微的批判性理解。

Meanwhile, I also seek\u0000 possible means of desubjectivation and human agency under neo-liberal capitalism by considering the role of art in this picture.

Abstract 'You always treat the sun as though it were yours.' Lining the frame of a pen-and-ink sketch, these words reflect conditions of possibility particular to the contemporaneity of early post-Mao China. Included in his Visual Diary series from the early 1980s, Qu Leilei's image-text turns inward the heavily socialized forms of visual and political expression from the revolutionary era. As instances of the artist's emerging private practice, such works, including etchings, line drawings, and fragments of prose poetry, are seldom addressed in existing scholarship on contemporary Chinese art. This article takes up a selective examination of Qu's diaristic ephemera from this historical moment following the Cultural Revolution (1966‐76) to explore how Qu's entries both maintain and transform aspects of revolutionary-era media and visuality. The article further considers the following questions: In what ways does Qu's Visual Diary reconfigure the serial images of revolutionary state-driven practices in the social landscape of still-Maoist Beijing? How do Qu's transfigured image-texts complicate the rejection of Maoist visual vanguardism in cultural practices after the revolution?
“你总是把太阳当成自己的。”曲磊磊的影像文本作品收录于他80年代初的《视觉日记》系列中,向内转向了革命时期高度社会化的视觉和政治表达形式。作为艺术家新兴的私人实践的例子,这些作品,包括蚀刻画、线条画和散文诗的片段,在现有的中国当代艺术学术中很少被提及。本文对曲在文化大革命(1966 - 76)之后的这一历史时刻的短暂日记进行了选择性的考察,以探讨曲的作品如何保持和改变革命时代媒体和视觉性的各个方面。文章进一步思考了以下问题:瞿的《视觉日记》以何种方式在仍然是毛主义的北京的社会景观中重新配置了革命国家驱动实践的系列图像?瞿的变形图像文本如何使革命后文化实践中对毛主义视觉先锋主义的拒绝复杂化?
