语境一词常是历史研究中的必要概念,与字面意思不同,这里的“语境”更多地指向一种非语言因素,在文字中我们经常用上下文方式来交代。在中国当代艺术三十年的发展中,从“美术”一词的引入中国到现代主义在20世纪80年代的再次被学习,当代艺术有着一条从文字到语言、从封闭到开放、从不能到可能的转换,这形成了20世纪七八十年代艺术发展脉络的基本语境。 The term context is often the necessary concept in historical research. Unlike literal meaning, the “context” here refers more to a nonverbal factor in which we often give contextual explanations. In the development of thirty years of Chinese contemporary art, from the introduction of the term “art” in China to the modernism once again learned in the 1980s, contemporary art has a history from writing to language, from closure to opening up, from Can not be converted to the possible, which formed the context of art development in the seventies and eighties of the 20th century context.
