History of A Nation in Art:the Exhibition Art in America: 300 Years of Innovation
The exhibition Art in America: 300 Years of Innovation was organized by The Salomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in partnership with the Terra Foundation for American Art. The curatorial team that assembled the show was lead by the Director of the Guggenheim Foundation Thomas Krens. The exhibition was shown at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing from February to April 2007 and Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai from May to June 2007. A full color, lavishly illustrated 350 page catalogue was published in Chinese and English versions. The exhibition represented a major effort to present the history of American Art, from the colonial period to the present, to the Chinese public. Its reception in China was generally very positive. While the majority of Chinese scholars and audiences who saw the show thought that it presented 300 years of art history, I will argue that, in fact, the exhibition presented a history of a nation, the United States, though art. The chronological ordering of the exhibition and a timeline of historic events prominently displayed at the exhibition established this as the dominant narrative of the exhibition. Every section of the exhibition had a close relationship with American history. As a result, the exhibition proved a very success strategy to spread American values embedded in its history.
发言概要：
艺术中的国家历史：“美国艺术三百年：适应与革新”展
“美国艺术三百年：适应与革新”展 由古根海姆基金会主办，泰拉基金会协办。策展团队负责人为古根海姆基金会主管托马斯·科伦。展览于2007年2月至4月在中国美术馆举行，同年的5月至6月，在上海当代艺术博物馆展出, 并以中英双语出版了一本350页的全彩插图画册。此次展览成功地向中国公众展示了从殖民地时期到当下的美国艺术史, 得到了非常积极的反响。尽管大多数中国学者和观众认为此次展览向他们展示的是300年的美国美术史，但我却认为这次美术史展览实际展示的是国家史。时间顺序和历史性事件的时间线成为展览的主要叙述方式。展览的每一部分都与美国历史有着密切的关系。最终，这个展览成为将美国价值观嵌入美国史之中进行传播这一策略的成功典范。
