介绍:

在关于艺术全球化的讨论(包括艺术史、艺术理论和艺术批评的书写)中,很少有人注意到艺术书写在世界范围内也正在趋于同一化。人们普遍期望对于不同地方艺术更多实践细节的关注,可以防止艺术书写的单一性。然而,James Elkins提出警告,艺术史已经不再具有多样性,而现在所谓的多样性也被局限在地域和语言的习惯上。

艺术批评或许也在趋于同一化,但是对它的研究也许更加困难,因为艺术批评通常很少会被翻译成母语以外的其他语言。当代艺术——即使其创作发生于北大西洋的语境之外,仍然被康德、福柯、拉康、德里达、罗兰·巴特、尼古拉斯·波瑞奥德和朱迪斯·巴特勒等人的理论所主导。而实际上,现在缺少研究本土的和区域性的艺术阐释方式。在这场讲座中,James Elkins将对这种现象进行总结,并展望未来对艺术的书写。

Abstract:

In conversations about the globalization of art there has been almost no discussion of the possibility that writing about art (art history, criticism, and theory) are also becoming uniform worldwide. There is generally a hope that attention to the specific details of local practices can prevent the impending uniformity of art writing. Here I will present selected arguments to show that art history no longer has divergent discourses, and that what now counts as diversity in art history is restricted to regional and linguistic habits. Art criticism is probably just as uniform, but it is more difficult to study because it is seldom translated from its original languages. Contemporary art is still theorized using Kant, Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, and Barthes, Nicolas Bourriaud, Judith Butler, and a dozen others, even if the work is made outside of North Atlantic contexts. There is virtually no work that looks to indigenous, local, or regional writing for its interpretive tools. I will conclude with a look forward at the next several decades of art writing.
