2010年左右,学者、艺术家严善錞在自己的当代艺术家研究和写作领域中纳入了王广义和张晓刚。选择这两个人的根本原因,是因为在他看采,王广义较多关注艺术的观念问题,而张晓刚更关注形式的问题。为了获得更多的素材,2011年,他和张晓刚展开了连续2日的对谈,最终整理威2万余字的一篇长文。这是一次严肃而又不失趣味的对话,它呈现了2位对艺术的认识和态度,其中既有一致,也存在各种分歧。本刊将此文分3期连栽,以飨读者。 Around 2010, scholar and artist Yan Shanyu included Wang Guangyi and Zhang Xiaogang in the field of research and writing of contemporary artists. The fundamental reason for choosing these two people is because in his opinion, Wang Guangyi pays more attention to the concept of art while Zhang Xiaogang is more concerned with the issue of form. In order to get more material, in 2011, he and Zhang Xiaogang started the second consecutive day of talks, finally finishing a long article of more than 20,000 words. This is a serious but not discordant dialogue. It presents two understandings and attitudes about art, both of which are unanimous and diverse. The article will be divided into three stages even planted to readers.
