展览提供作品与观众接触的机会,评奖则表达主办方的标准、观念及对艺术的取舍和态度。展览与评奖不是不可以结合。事实上,全国美展就一直把展览与评奖放在一起进行,通过这种方式,传达相关方面对艺术发展的指导性意见。一个威权国家,一定重视评奖,因为这是推动和规范艺术的有效手段,也是相对良性的手段。 The exhibition provides the opportunity for the work to be exposed to the audience. The award expresses the organizer’s standards, concepts, and artistic choices and attitudes. Exhibitions and awards can not be combined. In fact, the National Art Exhibition has put the exhibition together with the awards. In this way, it conveys the relevant opinions on the artistic development. An authoritarian country must attach importance to the awards because it is an effective means of promoting and regulating arts and is also a relatively benign means.
