Online Meeting with Frances – Clarifying and Re-focusing On April 16th, our group had a really helpful online session with Frances. As deadlines are approaching, this meeting gave us a valuable opportunity to ask questions and clarify uncertainties about both our individual curatorial proposals and the final reflective text. Frances began by reminding us of […]
Theoretical Reflections: Re-examining Joseph Beuys’ “Everyone is an Artist” in the AI Era Recently, following feedback from my tutorial and my own reflections on curatorial theory, I’ve been diving deeper into the theoretical underpinnings of my curatorial project—particularly Joseph Beuys’ famous assertion that “Everyone is an artist.” To fully engage with this idea in […]
Reflections and Responses to Recent Teacher Feedback and Tutorial Suggestions I have recently reviewed and digested the blog feedback provided by Frances and the further suggestions I received during the recent Tutorial, and the following are my reflections and plans for next steps. Deepening on Joseph Beuys’ theory of “everyone is an artist”: My teacher […]
Engaging My Audience: Exploring Art Education in the AI Era In developing my curatorial project, I’ve been carefully considering my target audience: art students, and students without an art background. I chose this specific group because they share similarities—such as being within a similar age group and educational level—but importantly differ in their educational backgrounds […]
“Everyone is an Artist?’ Rethinking Art Education in the Age of AI Over the past few weeks, I have gradually clarified the direction of my curatorial project. The core starting point of this exhibition comes from Joseph Beuys’ classic theory: “Everyone is an Artist”. With the rapid development of AI technology, this idea is even […]
Thank you for sharing your ongoing reflections and developments in your blog. Your commitment to exploring socially engaged art through site-specific interventions, especially addressing urban marginalization in China, is both compelling and meaningful. Your blog thoroughly documents your evolving thought processes and clearly shows how you connect theoretical ideas with practical considerations. I found your […]
本周三，在我们的课堂讨论中，我与 Frances 和我的同龄人分享了我最新的策展想法。他们的反馈非常有帮助，并促使我批判性地重新评估我以前的展览概念。我意识到，我早期的计划可能过于依赖人工智能的技术奇观，而忽略了更深层次的社会和艺术问题，这些问题与我作为新兴策展人的当前阶段产生了共鸣。 回想起我们小组在夏日厅的对话，我决定将展览重点转移到探索核心问题上：“在人工智能时代，每个人都是真正的艺术家吗？这与 Joseph Beuys 的名言“每个人都是艺术家”直接相关，并邀请更深入地探索 AI 如何使艺术创作的获取民主化或进一步复杂化。 我修改后的展览形式现在涉及邀请艺术学生（目前在读并接受过正式艺术培训的学生）使用 Midjourney 或 Stable Diffusion 等流行的 AI 平台创作艺术作品。为了积极吸引观众，我将在展览入口处设立一个互动式 AI 艺术创作站，让没有正式艺术背景的参观者通过简单的文字提示生成自己的作品。然后，他们将被鼓励打印这些作品，并将这些作品与受过正规培训的艺术家的作品一起直接添加到展览空间。 这种方法引发了对课堂上讨论的几个重要问题的反思： AI 是否降低了艺术创作的门槛，还是创造了新的复杂性和鸿沟？ 当 AI 可以快速产生复杂的视觉效果时，正规的艺术教育是否保持了其价值和相关性？ 审美判断仍然有效吗？观众能否真正区分艺术家使用 AI 创作的作品和非艺术家创作的作品？ 来自同行的集体反馈澄清了，选择学生艺术家而不是成熟的专业人士更符合我作为新兴策展人的身份。它还使展览更加真实、易于管理，并与我们的观众产生共鸣。 通过我们的讨论，我对合作的力量有了更清晰的理解。公开分享想法让我能够显著调整和深化我的策展理念，反映出我个人的成长和学习过程。 下一步将包括选择合适的学生艺术家，最终确定场地（可能是大学画廊或较小规模的创意空间），并准备交互式人工智能站以确保观众有意义地参与。 我对这些改进将如何发展感到由衷的兴奋，我非常感谢大家本周的深思熟虑的贡献！
This week, our team met at Summerhall to discuss our various projects, which led to insights and a critical reassessment of my curatorial approach. Reassessing my curatorial approach Listening to my colleagues’ different projects, I understood the importance of aligning the scale of the exhibition and artist selection with the resources and experience of emerging […]
