Curatorial Praxis for the Future

Curating in a Time of Crisis

全世界的未来:危机时刻的策展

本展览是中央美术学院《面向未来的策展实践》系列线上展览之一。展览以一种反思与批判的视⻆来看待既有的策展实践,并以此作为理解当代策展的趋势与议题,以及正在形成的策展模式与策略的基本思路。系列线上展览探讨了在当代文化实践和话语中呈现出的“策展性转向” (a curatorial turn),在过去二十年中,“策展性”已经发展成为一个重叠和交织的领域,、并重新塑造了我们对于文化生产场域的想像,让谁是参与者、有哪些文化生产方式等种种问题,有了更加多元的解答。“策展性”作为趋使跨文化与跨学科连结发生的动力场 (dynamic field) ,不断激发新的可能性。系列线上展览通过提供基于跨学科和跨文化背景下的策展实践和其他形式的文化调解的分析,审视其对当下策展范式的影响,进而探寻关于策展潜在或可预的未来。我们生活在一个充满危机的星球,生态枯竭、病毒蔓延、气候变化、增⻓极限 ...... 都清楚地说明“一切正常”已经不复存在。危机时刻,设计何为? 以线上展览的形式,通过对危机的跨学科研究,以设计、建筑及艺术等不同学科的眼光检视全人类面临的迫切议题,对“危机”的状态作出了辩证性的解读,探寻应对地球危机的设计之道。
