英国策展人和撰稿人弗朗西斯卡·加文的新书《100位艺术新星》收录了全球100位35岁以下的青年艺术家。本文由此书的写作方式谈起,探讨了书写全球当代艺术史的困难,以及全球化时代的艺术处境。从此书可看出,现成图像和现成品的应用是当代艺术的一种主流创作手法。笔者认为,这并非偶然而是由全球化的趋势所决定的。 French curator and writer Francesca Gavin’s new book, “100 Art Nobles,” includes 100 young artists under the age of 35 worldwide. This article talks about the writing style of the book, discusses the difficulties in writing the history of contemporary global art, and the artistic situation in the era of globalization. As you can see from this book, the use of ready-made images and ready-mades is a mainstream creative approach to contemporary art. The author believes that this is not accidental but determined by the trend of globalization.
