学术季之丹托研讨会主题发言场

22号一早,美术馆学术报告厅就迎来了为期两天的“艺术品:从物品到理论”的丹托国际学术研讨会,这也是本次美术馆学术季中的一个重要活动。上午9:30,研讨会在美术馆学术部主任王春辰的主持下开始。王春辰首先回顾了他与丹托的学术及私人联系,之后介绍了到场嘉宾。中央美院院长范迪安、中央美院美术馆馆长王璜生、美国纽约哥伦比亚大学与巴纳德学院艺术史教授亚历山大·阿波罗、清华大学教授陈岸瑛、纽约城市大学研究生院哲学与比较文学荣退教授玛丽·比特那·怀斯曼、美国明尼苏达大学艺术系教授托马斯·罗斯、北京大学教授彭锋、中央美院雕塑系教授隋建国、中国社会科学院哲学所副研究员刘悦笛、丹托女儿金杰·丹托作为嘉宾列席。此外,王春辰还特别对未能到场已经去世的嘉宾——密歇根州立大学埃德斯布罗德艺术博物馆创建人迈克尔拉什先生做了缅怀和致谢。

首先是范迪安院长作为嘉宾致辞。他提到这是中国第一次举办丹托的研讨会,表达了我们向丹托及其成就的致敬。并认为在座嘉宾的研究会推动国内对丹托的认识,同时也将推动中国艺术的发展。2018年是美院的百年校庆。积极与国内外一流大学交流是美院的目的,这次的丹托研讨会就是其中一次实践。王璜生馆长稍后致辞,他首先回忆了曾经新周刊对丹托的介绍,上面引用了中央美院学生作品的案例来解读丹托的理论。对金杰·丹托女士带来的丹托60年代的作品及其撰写的感人前言,王璜生馆长表示了感谢,因为这使我们能看到丹托作为活生生的个体的生活、思想等方面的痕迹成为可能。这批作品现在正在美院美术馆公共教育活动区进行展出。

为大会做主题发言的是亚历山大·阿波罗(Alex Alberro),发言内容主要有以下几个方面:
1.丹托理论的特点是不断思考新的东西,关心艺术当下的发展。丹托的理论来源于他所见到的先锋艺术,也就是指20世纪下半叶,将艺术归结于哲学的艺术实践。
2.丹托理论的核心是解决后现代艺术的问题。许多人认为,后现代艺术是对现代艺术的拒绝;也有很多人认为后现代艺术是对艺术的解放,比如将其从格林伯格的理论中解放;还有人认为是先锋派目的论的体现。丹托从沃霍尔的布里洛盒子中看到了丰富的理论,也开启了其理论体系的多维度。之前的艺术是基于艺术的感官属性,尤其是表现主义,但理论建构于感官性上是不牢靠的。丹托的理论聚集于非感官性。对艺术品的界定,不决定于其外表,而是触及哲学本质的属性。比如沃霍尔的布里洛盒子与作为商品的布里洛盒子的区别在于沃霍尔的盒子宣称了它与超市中盒子的关系,体现了艺术的理论。跟古典艺术相比,布里洛盒子并不是它所呈现的那样(仅仅是一个盒子),让它之所以成为艺术品很重要的因素是因为有理论的参与。
3.关于丹托理论,疑问是:是不是所有的艺术品都是「关于」一些东西的?还是说有些艺术是从心理方面来建立的?先锋派艺术家的目的在哪?将艺术品理论化吗?关于视觉属性与理论属性的对立,为什么有的艺术品能从视觉属性直接生发出理论属性,而不是反之,我们还需要用理论来解释其视觉属性。“艺术终结”这个理论不意味着再也没有艺术、艺术家存在,而是相反,艺术将呈现一种更加开放的状态,是跳脱了理论、史学的限制,更自由的一种艺术发展状态。由于艺术需要不断的自我发现,这个过程就不再可能终结。
4.总结:丹托这种原创的、微妙的理论架构展现了哲学家的当代关注。丹托游离于哲学空间,不在具体例子中阐释艺术的属性。作为批评家,他触及了很多元素和方面,这在如今是很少有人能够做到的。

Q&A
1. 问:哪些艺术是无意义的呢?不是「关于」什么东西的呢?能举例吗?
Alex:物质形式是有历史的,而这种历史也是有特定形式的。物品本身的形式是有逻辑的。在多样化的环境中,不是判断艺术品有无意义,而是找到意义。

2. 问:关于您提出的哲学普适性,我认为在普适性和历史性中不存在必要的冲突。丹托提过“普遍性”,所有的艺术都是要联系具体的背景才能理解。丹托“普遍性”的所指会随着时间的变化而改变,但不是他的理论本身需要改变。您同意吗?
Alex:当然所有的定义都是有其历史背景的。定义也会变化。

3. 问:您是在否认丹托的普适性吗?
Alex:我是在尝试把它放到具体的语境中,这个实践可以挑战其普适性。我是一个历史学家,不是哲学家,这种本质的定义还是跟当时的语境有关的。所以我联系了很多艺术现象来看它的普适性情况。

4. 问:我们如何从本质上理解艺术世界与艺术品的互动关系?
Alex:丹托《艺术世界》这篇文章很有意思。但“艺术世界”这个理念要比以前宽泛多了,包含了广泛的实践、互动、范围比所谓的机构的范围广得多。“艺术世界”如果被看成只有艺术和艺术家的世界的话,其实是非常排他性的。真正的“艺术世界”远远不止于此。比如说大量艺术家从来没有对其艺术进行过理论阐释,但作品本身仍然非常成功。所以我认为那篇文章对“艺术世界”的理解是很狭义的,跟如今的“艺术世界”是不一样的。

5. 问:哲学的、艺术史的、艺术批评的对艺术品的定义是不一样的。我很赞同您的区分。我想知道的是丹托从理论切入的、对波普艺术的艺术批评,对当时的艺术产生了什么影响?
Alex:是的,他的确做出了贡献。很多艺术家都从他的理论中找到了对自己作品的解释。生成了一种当时非常重要的艺术理论,从这些不同的理论中,能得到不同的结论。其理论最有建设性的一面是不是所有人都同意他的理论。这样,它的理论反而成了一种坚实的模型。你有很多不同的模型的话,对艺术品的理解就会有非常建设性的成果。

6. 问:丹托对于本体论非常有兴趣,到后面您提出了其他的方式来关于如何看待艺术,您觉得美和审美带来的挑战是什么呢?这个是不是成就其理论框架的一部分呢?
Alex:在20世纪。人们对艺术品的理解改变了,本质属性不再处于主导地位,这个历史背景导致了丹托思考美会怎样。他不是反对美的瓦解,而是扩展我们理解艺术品的可能。这个扩展的过程中,有一个事情流失了,这就是美的概念。所以我们在丹托的理论中如何找到美,大概是需要用到一种推测的方式。从丹托的角度,欣赏一个概念、一个理论与一个实际物品之间的共鸣,在这个共鸣中,我们可以谈论美,这个就是丹托的理论。我也在想,丹托是不是把和谐归为一种美。比如阿多诺认为美存在于不和谐中,20世纪的美可以是积极的,也可以是消极的。如果你要谈论此时的美,多半存于消极中,比如波洛克的绘画。我不知道丹托是不是同意这个,但他今天已经不在了。

7. 问:对于丹托对美学的回归,您有什么想说的吗?
Alex:丹托对美的回归是在90年代,当时有消除美的可能性。谈到普适的美,大家都有疲劳了,美变得更加个性化。作为历史学家,我必须要说,20世纪以后,美已经不是一个必要因素了。当然还有人依然在坚持美这个概念。美转化成了对力量等要素的追求,比如说有人会说我要做一个强有力的作品,而很少再听到人说要做一个美的作品。所以我认为对美的回归是一个历史性的回归。美这个概念,今天是不是还有吸引力呢?如果有人不同意我的观点,我也很高兴。

8. 问:我喜欢丹托理论是因为它们试图抓住变化世界的变化。这种普适性不见得是真理,而是一种对变化世界中不变事物的神往。丹托他本人对很多事物有开放态度,其研究跟许多人不一样。我觉得他是看到了意义与关于结构之间的区别。一件作品他可能是「关于」什么,但不见得是有意义的。丹托就是有能力也有意愿来解释这个其中的关系。就像禅,我捡了一块石头,和石头间产生了一种关系,但这关系不一定有意义。丹托的实践是后历史主义的,对新技术、创作作品的新方式都有讨论。您同意吗?
Alex:我不是一个普适主义者。

9. 问:我很喜欢的是您提到的“融合”和“聚合”的概念,艺术家是唯一的在进行融合、聚合工作的人。哲学家的定义太广泛,也因此会持续更长的时间。艺术家的作品是关于什么的,观众进行阐释。批评家是就此对象反映的现象进行驳斥。您对此怎么看。
Alex:就算不是哲学家或批评家,你的观点依然会在某种程度上有价值。对于艺术品的回应,可以有很多种方式。

10. 问:艺术家的意图和批评家的阐释,如何区分?
Alex:我们不依靠艺术家的意图来解释作品。为什么艺术家的意图不是艺术品的最终解答。沃霍尔做作品的时候是我们在阐释,这个可以应用于所有的艺术品。意图不是阐释的良药,这是一个问题,而不是答案。艺术家创作时也不见得有清楚的意图,就是想说什么说什么,想做什么做什么。就像一个打碎的镜子,你不能完全的知道别人在做什么,真正重要的是你自己的阐释。所以我们是在试图沟通。艺术是什么?就是一种探索可能性的形式,推动人们理解的极限,不断使用其他一些超越形式的元素,批评家与哲学家也能参与进来,并试图沟通,产生自己的言说在其中的意义。
