《我愛Art Basel──論盡藝術與資本》I love Art Basel: On Art and Captial (original) (raw)

香港政府在千禧之後銳意發展創意工業，藝術忽然從非主流文化變成為解決社會、經濟問題的良方。拍賣市場天價交易、藝術博覽大小通吃——每年三月的巴爾塞藝展（Art Basel）和其他名目的藝博展覽，已成為了「全球第三大藝術市場」的一抺繁華城市風景。 資深藝評人兼前線藝術勞工梁寶山，見證藝博與創意論述如何在香港落地生根，遊走在台前幕後，以第一身經歷細說藝術圈的芳芷腥臊。無論你是駕輕就熟的老行家，抑或初出茅廬的藝文青，都應該能從書中了解這種講金又講心。 This popular read is a revision of my Ph.D thesis on art labour after the giant art fair franchise landed in Hong Kong in 2008. The introduction is a critical analysis on the discourse on creativity and how the post-colonial government has absorbed it into her policy. The main body of the book is a series of ethnography and art world gossip that account for the changes to the art scene brought by the influx of global capital and elites, thus to theorize cultural economy of the contemporary art world and how it produce a new form of labour.
