论城市文化建设和公共艺术策略

摘要

The wave of globalization has nearly overwhelmed every inhabited corner of our planet.With the emergence of economic globalization,the outlooks of different cities and streets all over the world tend to be assimilation.The seeming failure of city planning and designing is actually caused by the lack of urban cultural ideas.As a fundamental part of urban culture,visual art,especially public art which concerns the urban public spaces and lives,plays an important role in providing a high quality urban public space, continuing traditional culture,and forming and displaying the characteristics of cities.This essay is aimed to show several successful foreign examples of public art,to help and give advices for our own urban cultural construction,and to make the relative functional departments realize the significance of public art strategy to our urban cultural construction.%全球一体化的浪潮几乎席卷了我们这个星球上有人居住的每一个角落,连同经济一体化一起出现的是世界各国的城市形象和街道景观在不同程度上出现的趋同化现象。表面上看这是城市规划和城市设计本身的失败,其实造成这一现象的根本原因是城市规划和设计过程中城市文化理念的缺失。作为城市文化重要组成部分的视觉艺术——尤其是介入城市公共空间并参与公众社会生活的公共艺术,在为大众提供一个高品质的城市共享空间和延续城市传统文化、塑造与展示城市性格魅力方面可以起到积极作用。本文通过对几例国外优秀公共艺术案例的分析,旨在为我们的城市文化建设和本土公共艺术的发展提供一些参考与借鉴,同时也期望政府职能部门能够真正认识到正确的公共艺术策略对于城市文化建设的意义。
