当我们谈及中国当代艺术时,这里的“当代”是过去二十多年的新艺术现象总称。而我们说中国当代的艺术性时,指的是中国当代艺术中符合时代发展进程的那些特性,也就是它的时代性。“前卫”应当更适合中国当代艺术的“当代性”价值。因为“前卫”是有选择的,并具有方向明确的批判性。这种批判性是两方面的综合,既社会的批判和自我的批判,缺一不可。 When we talk about contemporary Chinese art, “contemporary” here is the general term for the new art phenomenon of the past two decades. When we say that contemporary Chinese artistry refers to those characteristics that are in line with the development of the times in contemporary Chinese art, that is, its historical features. “Avant-garde” should be more suitable for the “contemporary” value of Chinese contemporary art. Because “avant-garde ” is a choice, and has a clear direction of critical. This kind of criticalness is a combination of two aspects, one is social criticism and one is self-criticism.
