Thinking about SHARE

Karen rose the idea of "self "and "heart" this morning, and said: as American, we talk too much about ourselves, and as artists, we keep following our own heart. BUT, is there any moment that we have to think about SHARE, share of knowledge, memories, intimate emotions, or, even a moment of gaze. When we keep digging the SELF, should we also leave a space for offering.

We all have to consider what to do with the intense knowledge we gained through out the short life, if we can't carry them to the afterlife, maybe we could choose to pass it around. Oh....SHARE...how beautiful!

自问：在艺术家索求于心性和个性的同时，是不是需要留一个分享的空间和供他者收受的空间？

对很多时代的艺术家来说，大抵都不能避免在“个体”和“公共”之间做出选择，即便有时这个选择不必然二元对立。但事实是，无论自囚于边缘还是爬上话语中心，它们的根性如出一辙，两者都需要在他者和假想敌中确立一种身份认同已完成自身的合法性。其质相当，唯量有别。所谓的“边缘”艺术家，构造的其实是一个对独立和另类的想像，而其之所以能成为独立或另类，取决于其被认同为边缘的过程，而这认同则必将索求于共性。很多时候，“自我”（或者个性）是一个假象，它只在普遍性里获得可能。那么，能不能说，艺术创作的内在动机都是为了认同？对一个艺术家个性体悟的认同，无论这认同是来自边缘人群还是主流。如果是，这个动机是否会对创作造成误导？为了认同而创作的潜在危险是它将最终成为自我他者化的牺牲品。
