弱艺术宣言 Weak Art Manifesto
先有艺术家,然后有艺术。
There is artist first, then there is art.不是人人都可以成为艺术家,但任何东西都可能成为艺术。
Not everybody is an artist, but everything could be art.“何为艺术?”是最后一个问题;“为何艺术?”是第一个问题。
“What is art?”is the last question; “Art for what?”is the first question.让艺术变弱,让回答变强。
Make ART weak, make answer strong.艺术应该激发交流,而不是沦为一个“讨论到此结束”的借口。
Art should encourage exchange, instead of becoming an excuse to end the discussion.重新进入艺术的禁地、失地和遗忘之地。
Re-enter art's land of the forbidden, the lost and the forgotten.艺术应该为它的观众留有余地和捣乱的机会,但艺术也该有自己的立场。
Art should leave room for the audience to mess up with it, but it should also have a stand.脱掉一切,容纳一切。
Take it all off, take all in.
I must have written this in 2019 when I was still actively working in art. I stumbled upon this manuscript in my old Macbook, found it quite interesting, and decided to post it again.
I have no idea why art described in this manifesto is in any way 'weak', maybe that was just a reflection of my spirit at the time.
