过去几年中,西方媒体对中国官方文化政策的关注异乎寻常地满怀正义,尤其针对那些寻求巩固国家“软实力”储备的政策。正如大部分关于中国的新闻那样,这些报道多半只是将读者诱入政治论争,而对相关政策方针所带来的具体后果却极少深究。在此,《艺术界》尝试解开那些将中国当代艺术的创作、展览和收藏等诸环节与政府捆绑在一起的线索,并对其来龙去脉进行观察。 In the past few years, Western media attention to China’s official cultural policies has been unusually full of justice, especially for those seeking to consolidate the national “soft power” reserve. As most of the news about China does, these reports are mostly about inducing readers into political controversy, but very little is the specific consequences of the relevant policy directions. Here, the “art world” attempts to untangle the clues that bind the various links of the creation, exhibition and collection of Chinese contemporary art with the government and observe its ins and outs.
