例外状态作为一种政治学延伸的概念,同时作为这个展览的主题提醒了我们艺术界对于现实政治情况的聚焦和关注。例外状态是一种悬置,是与常态相悖或者说至少迥然相异的过程。之所以说是一种过程,是因为例外状态必然导致一种美学下坠的结果,下坠则形成了否定的链条、记忆碎片、对抗的结构、丑恶的快感、热眼旁观和常识般的深思熟虑。例外状态作为一种行进状态,这本身也是一种例外状态。 Exceptional status, as an extension of political science, at the same time as the theme of this exhibition reminds us of the art world’s focus and attention on the reality of the political situation. Exceptional status is a kind of suspension, is contrary to the normal state or at least very different process. The reason why it is a process is that the state of exception necessarily leads to the result of a falling aesthetic, and the falling forms a chain of negation, memory fragments, structure of confrontation, ugly pleasure, hot-eye and commonsense. Exceptional status as a state of progress is itself an exception.
