2017三星堆戏剧节“断层再造”公共展演单元
SANXINGDUI THEATRE FESTIVAL 2017 PUBLIC PERFORMANCE UNIT “DUÀN CÉNG ZÀI ZÀO”
地质学上的断层,是地壳由外力形成的断裂结构。文化上的断层,更多的是愿望中的文化,与现实文化之间存在的差异。一座城市的历史脉络,形成一个地方如何建造都市、生活以及创造文化。文化的变革,如同地壳运动之前所蕴藏的动力,虽然不是一朝一夕都能看见的巨变,但却在潜移默化中积蓄能量。
艺术形式的碎片化,全球化行程中的文化断层,人口迁移导致的身份问题等,逐渐浮出水面,并交错在一起。侯瀚如在致小汉斯(Hans Ulrich Obrist)的信中提出了“动态而复杂的体系”,表示出无法定义和概括这一模糊的状态,或者说评论家有意将“不确定的试验场”来概括这种复杂的不确定状态。世界各地的文化割裂,以及各种文明对于当代艺术的补偿犹如“断层线”,它真实又直观地描述着某个看不见的地方所聚集的能量。而当因果关系被重新放置后,蕴藏于表像下的巨大能量就有可能展现出来,并成为预言。这种巨大的能量在世界各个角落自发而成,公共空间成为艺术展现的舞台。
一次行动往往胜过一件作品。街道上、废墟中、空地上、工厂里……当艺术的呈现场地回到艺术的诞生场地时,缝合文化断层的信息将被传递。当观者摆脱了欣赏艺术的先验的、权威的姿态后——再造,将会以某种新的逻辑和规则进行,逐渐成为艺术边界的开拓力量。
In geology, a fault is a fracture structure in the Earth's crust formed by external forces. In culture, a fault refers more to the difference between the desired culture and the actual culture. The historical context of a city shapes how the place is built, lived in, and creates culture. Cultural changes are like the power hidden before tectonic movements, not sudden but accumulating energy through gradual change.
The fragmentation of art forms, cultural faults in the process of globalization, and identity issues caused by population migration are gradually surfacing and intersecting with each other. Hou Hanru proposed a “dynamic and complex system” in his letter to Hans Ulrich Obrist, expressing the inability to define or summarize this ambiguous state. Critics intentionally summarize this complex and uncertain state as an “uncertain experimental field.” The cultural cleavages around the world, as well as the compensation of various civilizations for contemporary art, are like “fault lines”, which realistically and intuitively describe the energy gathered in an invisible place. When causality is repositioned, the enormous energy hidden under the surface image may be displayed and become a prophecy. This huge energy arises spontaneously from various corners of the world, and the public space becomes a stage for artistic expression.
One action often speaks louder than a single artwork. When art returns to its place of birth, whether on the street, in ruins, on vacant lots, or in factories, the information that mends cultural faults will be transmitted. When viewers break away from the preconceived and authoritative stance of appreciating art, reconstruction will occur, gradually becoming a force for exploring the boundaries of art with new logic and rules.
