克”艺术大展。

“阿提亚”是总部设在德国柏林的一个文化基金会。“阿提亚”的名称来源于“ＡＲＴ”（艺术）
与“ＯＬＹＭＰＩＡＤＥ”（奥林匹亚）两个词语，两词首尾相接而成的“ＡＲＴｉａｄｅ”，意指艺术
与体育精神的完美结合。

阿提亚艺术展与奥林匹克运动盛会同步展开，让我们得以重新审视公元前千年历史中古希腊竞技场上
的传统。柏拉图说过，艺术和体育同是神的恩赐。在雅典城邦，教育的目的是培养身心和谐的公民，他们
既重视文化艺术的修养，也注意形体的健美，人们认为艺术家和运动员同时是一种完美品质的双面象征。

作为一个国际的学术和文化组织，“阿提亚”邀请来自各个奥林匹克参赛国的艺术家，在国际的平台
上力图体现奥运国家的文化传统。艺术家成为另一意义上的运动员，他们的表现让国际友人见识到他们所
来自国家和地区的“文化力”和独特的艺术风貌。

这次艺术大展的评委科威特艺术家哈马德·卡拉夫（ＨＡＭＡＤＫＨＡＬＡＦ）说：“ＡＲＴｉａｄ
ｅ作为与现代奥林匹克同等重要的活动，是古代希腊传统的复兴。ＡＲＴｉａｄｅ的美源自于来自世界各
地的艺术家，他们带来了比运动更有价值的东西。他们为竞赛带来了文化，带来了和平，而所有这些已经
要越来越被商业的利用和恐怖主义所遮蔽了。”

竞赛、平等、创造、分享、和平⋯⋯在雅典举行的两个奥运都提倡和发扬这些人类最优秀品质，这是
古代奥运精神的复兴，更是现代奥运理念的延伸。

阿提亚，视觉艺术的盛宴

５月间，在雅典的德国歌德学院内，阿提亚艺术展的国际评审团对世界各地的４５００余件艺术作品
进行了激烈的讨论和选拔，最后选定来自世界７８个国家的１７２件艺术作品参加本次雅典的视觉当代艺
术展。

阿提亚视觉艺术展作品征集是开放式的，即并不以艺术家的已有成绩和个人名气作为选择标准，阿提
亚唯一的要求是在符合高质量艺术品质的同时，必须兼备地域性和当代性文化特色。

入选作品包括绘画、雕塑、摄影、装置及录像艺术等各类当代视觉艺术。作品都在当代语境下对本土
人文历史、空间环境、政治社会问题等进行思考和对话交流，在不同程度上展示了各地域文化本色。比如
艺术家ＪｏａｎＢｅｌｍａｒ的作品是绘画，他采用了各种媒介的彩纸拼贴入画，不同的质感代表不同的
季节，具有南美土著艺术的遗风又不失现代感。来自长沙的实验艺术家刘洵送去的两个录像艺术作品都入
选了，一个是《中国蚂蚁》，另一个是《我眼中的城市》。两个作品都没有刻意堆砌中国文化符号，但
是“中国”这一构思土壤和“城市（长沙）”的图像本身却潜藏有鲜明的本土印记。

相比其它大型国际当代艺术展，如威尼斯双年展、卡塞尔文献展等，阿提亚毕竟办展时间不长，影响
不大，而且存在着展览制度和管理上不甚完善之处。因为此次活动赞助商的问题，资金缺乏使得部分艺术
家和作品未能汇聚雅典，这不得不说是本届阿提亚的一大遗憾。

２００８，北京的ＡＲＴｉａｄｅ

这次雅典阿提亚艺术展本安排有一项声势不小的“中国馆”计划，拟请中国大陆１４位目前“风华正
茂”的当代艺术家来参展，这个“中国馆”展览既镶嵌于阿提亚艺术展中，又相对独立操作。可惜因为程
序和时间问题这一计划搁浅了。但我们还是可以看出目前中国当代艺术在国际艺术界受重视的程度。

按《美国艺术》主编理查·韦恩先生的说法，１９９８年《ＩＮＳＩＤＥＯＵＴ华人新艺术展》第一
次让美国艺术界“发现”了来自中国大陆的当代艺术。“中国当代艺术”这一概念，尤其是中国实验摄影
和录像艺术，在西方艺术界逐渐升温发热。或许是转型期中国社会孕育的变化、矛盾和问题，造就了中国
当代艺术生猛新鲜的视觉语言，它让尘埃落定、日渐沉闷的西方艺术圈眼前一亮。作为今年唯一以录像艺
术入选的中国参展者，刘洵说：“我个人觉得，缺少了中国艺术的参与，这次艺术展也难以称上是真正的
国际大展了。”

在这样的背景下，“阿提亚·视觉艺术的奥林匹克”也正将于２００８年第２９届奥林匹克运动会期
间在中国举办。东西方艺术、文化能够在同一国际平台上平等对话、交流和过招，这也是奥林匹克人文精
神的体现吧。我们希望２００８年，让奥林匹克人文精神延伸到视觉艺术领域，让视觉艺术的奥林匹克火  炬由雅典传到北京，并燃烧得更旺盛。（本版图片除注明外，皆为刘洵提供）
