Thinking Globally, Acting Locally:Presenting American Art at Crystal Bridges
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, located in the small town of Bentonville Arkansas that in turn is situated near the middle of the United States, opened in November of 2011. It is a large, ambitious museum fully cognizant and embracing of its local community but also charged with connecting that community to the nation and the globe through its collection and programming; and conversely connecting the world to Bentonville. For the inaugural installation, curators had the opportunity to present the collection unencumbered by institutional traditions or preconceived audience expectations. However, as a museum collecting only paintings, sculpture, and works on paper made in the United States or North American Colonies, curators also had constraints on their ability to reach beyond American borders. This talk addresses how Crystal Bridges seeks to balance the local, national, and global through a collection that is thoroughly American.
发言概要:
思想的全球化和行为的本土化:美国艺术在水晶桥博物馆的展示
水晶桥艺术馆坐落于美国中部本顿维尔市的阿肯色州小镇,于2011年11月向公众开放。这是一座规模较大,并富有抱负的美术馆。不仅被当地民众熟识和喜爱,并且通过其收藏与规划将本顿维尔与整个美国甚至全世界联系在一起,同时也将世界展现在了本顿维尔面前。在策划水晶桥艺术馆开幕展览中,策展人虽然获得了一次不受美术馆传统、观众期待等因素束缚的机会,但作为一家只收藏美国和北美殖民地地区的油画、雕塑和纸本作品的艺术馆,策展人要突破美国边界是一项极大的考验。这次演讲主要介绍水晶桥美术馆如何通过单一的美国艺术作品收藏,平衡本土化、国家化和全球化之间的关系。
