艺术家

Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, children could not be taught about evolution, writors and artists could be censored at the whim of the government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens.

（Robert Bork的美国是这样一片土地：妇女会被迫在背街的小巷里堕胎；黑人会被安排在分开的桌子上用餐；流氓警察会在半夜破门而入搜查公民的住房；孩子们不能接受进化论教育；作家和艺术家们会被政府随意检查作品，而联邦法院的大门会对成千上万的市民关闭---在极右翼法官Robert Bork提名最高法院大法官的听证会上。

A relief is a sculptured artwork where a modelled form is raised, or in sunken-relief lowered, from a flatish background plane without being disconnected from it.

浮雕是雕刻的一种，艺术家在一块平板上将他要塑造的形象雕刻出来，使它脱离原来材料的平面。

This isn't good news for emerging artists, but Baer reiterates the sentiments we're likely to hear no end of for the next couple of years:"A return to the importance of museums, critics and alternative spaces for validation and the introduction of new art."

这是不是一个好消息，新兴的艺术家，但贝尔重申了感情，我们很可能没有听到结束的未来几年里："回归的重要性，博物馆，批评和替代空间审定和引进新的艺术。"

Accept that your work is more about you than what you represent, try to bridge that balance, without resorting to photographing your feet!

换言之，你要试着把自己的个人经验转换成普遍经验，这确实是有可能的，而且我认为这是任何艺术形式的关键诉求……去研读Michael Schmidt的 Waffenruhe 一书（我搜索到很多Michael Schmidt，有一个诗人也有摄影师，多亏小丑同志，终于搜索到了这本书，并且可以确定这个Schmidt是德国的摄影师）——去研究所有伟大的摄影师并且要喜欢研究他们，从头开始研读，去看早期美国摄影师，然后德国的，还有法国的，然后再仔细研读一下二十世纪60年代采用摄影术的艺术家，比如Rusha等。

Behind overlapping pictures, there hide noun or verb, subject or predicate, nonsense, slogan or cant, advertisement or lie, epigram or balderdash, explanation or rhetoric, dialogue or monologue. The unordered, dense, overlapped, and information store-like visual and dream system implies the real world and the desire, anxious, love, hate, limitation, compassion and idealism of the artist.

重重叠影的画面中潜伏着名词或动词、主语或谓语、闲言碎语、标语或黑话、广告或谎言、警句或梦呓、解说或修辞、对话或独白……这个无序的、密集的、重叠的、信息库般的视幻系统，隐喻着世相的繁杂纷纭和艺术家本人的欲望、焦虑、爱憎、局限、悲天悯人以及理想主义。

The blending of aesthetics with its residual communicative aspects leads art, as a social phenomenon, not to its rightful position in opposition to alleged artistic snobbism, but rather in a variety of ways to the defense of its baneful social consequences.

美学与它残存的交流性的若干方面的混合，并不导致作为一种社会现象的艺术走向与所谓艺术家的势力相对的公正的位置，而是导致艺术以多种方式维护它的有害的社会后果。

I used to imagine that if I am a famous singer. I will choose to live in banlieue. I used to imagine that if I am an artist. I will publicize myself very well. I even used to imagine that if I am a dog. I will be the cutiest one.

我曾想过如果我是一名非常出名的歌手，我会选择居住在郊区；我曾想过如果我是一名艺术家，我应该会很好的宣传我自己；我更曾想过如果我是一只狗，我将会是最可爱的一只。
