At the beginning of 2007, the motif of China’s contemporary art is prosperity.However, another theme-tiredness behind the prosperity is coming to front. Apart from artists were bothered with social intercourse, to embarrass us most is rather than the tiredness of taste and thinking. As if involved an assembly line losing the function of brake, people who chase the art ecosphere rotating speed quickly are impelled to be weighed down with it.

2007年伊始,中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)的主題詞是繁榮。藝術(shù)區(qū)內(nèi)人流熙攘接踵摩肩,藝術(shù)活動上呼朋喚友一派喜氣,藝術(shù)拍賣會座無虛席捷報頻傳,藝術(shù)家游走于世界大展如魚得水。幾番搏殺之后,繁華景象的背后的另一個主題詞——疲憊,開始浮出水面。且不提藝術(shù)人士的奔波之苦,應(yīng)酬之痛,最尷尬的莫過于審美疲憊與思考疲憊。如此多的經(jīng)典的當(dāng)代藝術(shù)被市場大潮推到大眾面前,還無暇細(xì)細(xì)品味,新的藝術(shù)家已經(jīng)迫不及待等著上市。如同上了一條剎不住閘的流水線,轉(zhuǎn)速飛快的藝術(shù)生態(tài)圈讓追趕它的人疲于奔命。當(dāng)代藝術(shù)真的繁榮到令人如此疲憊的地步么?疲憊背后,藝術(shù)市場又將往哪里走?這一期專題,讓我們盤點(diǎn)一番2007年這本藝術(shù)賬,看看是什么讓藝術(shù)如此疲憊。
