“破碎与聚合:青州龙兴寺古代佛教造像”是第34届世界艺术史大会特别展,由中央美术学院和青州市博物馆联合主办,中央美术学院美术馆与中央美术学院人文学院共同承办。由特展策展人郑岩主讲的讲座“破碎与聚合:关于青州龙兴寺古代佛教造像的新观察”于2016年9月3日晚18:30在中央美术学院美术馆学术报告厅如期举行。
主持人 王璜生教授
讲座伊始,主持人王璜生先生对郑岩先生在此次世界艺术史大会和展览中所做工作及其思路进行了简要介绍。郑岩先生系中央美术学院人文学院副院长、博士生导师,在此次世界艺术史大会中担任第七分会场中方主席。
主讲人郑岩首先对此次展览选题及其原由等相关学术背景进行简述。选择青州龙兴寺佛教造像作为此次世界艺术史大会特展的主题,一方面旨在期望能突破作为近代学科的美术史中旧有的西方背景与视角,尝试以新角度来看待原本作为“他者”的中国文化与艺术。另一方面,龙兴寺造像在自发掘以来的二十年间,在世界各地多次展出反响强烈,并且学界也不断地研究与书写,故而其本身即是绝佳的尝试对象。他说:“1997年发掘初期的龙兴寺造像多呈现碎块的状态,与后来修复拼合后展出的造像形成强烈反差。但学界从考古类型学、艺术风格学、样式学等角度的研究往往忽略掉造像碎块本身,而选择从完整的作品着手。从某种程度上说,对于青州龙兴寺佛教造像的研究和展示仍然在一种既有的模式中进行,这批文物的出土并没有激发出新的问题与思考。因此,我觉得有必要再寻找一番,看看是否能从新的角度来切入。”
随后,主讲人着重阐释了“破碎”之概念。他表示学界普遍认为北朝至唐的三次灭佛运动导致了对青州龙兴寺造像的破坏。目前发掘出的造像绝大多数为北朝晚期,少量年代为唐代及北宋。许多造像在损毁后仍被寺院所保存,并在后来经由一系列仪式被谨慎地埋入坑中。郑岩认为前人这种慎重的处理方式,在某种程度上提示了当下学界以雕塑的角度来研究造像所存在的不足与问题,也提示我们需要重新回到“何为佛像”这一原点问题来重新进行讨论。
他谈到,在佛教传入中国时,佛像已是宗教崇拜的核心;但在佛教产生伊始,此宗教并非是一种像教,而是在随后西方文化之影响下逐渐开始崇拜偶像。在佛教整个传播过程中,图像扮演了非常重要的角色。一方面,佛像具备一定的宗教功能;另一方面也具有很强的审美功能,往往旨在以精美的视觉形象(即佛的形象)打动观看的信众。故而,许多佛经教义都认为造佛像既是一种功得与修为,《增壹阿含经》中曾记载到“作佛形象者,为得何等福?…………王得眼根不坏,天眼、形体端正,终生天上为天王,名扬四方……多所饶益,天人蒙佑。”随之而来,在佛教的礼仪活动和修行中,佛的图像也具有不可替代的作用。例如,净土宗的修行即重视“观像”,要求修行者将观像与打坐静修结合。在此佛像是信众心灵进入宗教的引导物,而非单纯的艺术作品,它本身就具有能量。
同时郑岩先生提到佛教中“舍利”及其概念的流变。佛经教典中认为释迦牟尼涅槃所火化留下的骨质为“生身舍利”,信众如若供养舍利即等同于供养佛本身。因生身舍利数目稀少难得,“舍利”的概念遂逐渐泛化,后来出现有诸如手抄佛经等“法身舍利”,甚至水晶、玛瑙、琉璃、石子所制念珠也可被视作舍利。他认为,将佛教造像之残块视作舍利的观念在北宋时期的山东地区非常盛行,并表示造像的损毁往往被僧人视作佛祖涅槃,因此这些碎块通常经由严谨神圣的仪式而被“窖藏”供养起来,不仅仅是龙兴寺,山东临朐明道寺、济南开元寺等都出土过类似的造像。
上述这些佛教观念、行为并非只是宗教内部的现象,它们往往会超越出宗教本身的界限,进入艺术,进而对艺术史产生影响。主讲人引用了两个典故并了阐释龙兴寺佛教造像与后两者内在之联系,一为清代唐英供奉烧废的青龙缸并重修景德镇风火仙神以解决景德镇信仰之危机;二为以清代六舟和尚为代表的“八破图”创作传统。他表示,此三者都是将损毁破坏之物做重新的组合以赋予其新的价值意义,其中隐含着一种在危机和灾难面前的应对处理方式,由此提出了“艺术家和艺术在面对灾难时,自身应扮演何种角色?”的根本问题,这是今天的艺术家、艺术也正面临的问题。一些巨大灾难的发生,通常会刺激艺术家的创作,而现今的创作与上述古人之作法显现出一种一致性,历史在任何时候都是相似的,当下在内在上与历史相连。
讲座最后郑岩先生提到此次世界艺术史大会主题——“Term”。他说:“我们今天的艺术史是一种西方背景的艺术史。从70年代初开始,学界逐渐呼吁要建立一种世界的艺术史,即一种涵盖更多不同文化系统和时代的艺术史学科。因此当这次大会即将在北京召开时,我觉得有必要回顾梳理作为现代学科的中国艺术史近百年来的构架与发展。尽管西方艺术史系统的知识,为中国艺术史研究做出了诸多贡献,但如何从东方文化内部来解读中国艺术与历史仍然是需要思考的问题。这一次展览给予我一个契机,能在中央美术学院美术馆这个现代的美术馆中展出一个古代展览,希望这样一次‘冒失的’实验能够给予其他人,更是给予我自己一些有效的启发。”
