當代視覺藝術最主要的中介體制為展覽空間,它聯繫著藝術家與藝術場域之間的互動。台灣藝術場域自八○年代當代藝術萌芽之後,藝術環境的改變使得展覽空間無論在質與量方面都有明顯的變化,不僅增加了新世代藝術家展現自我的機會,也直接或間接地影響了他卅她們在藝術生涯上的發展。本研究以法國學者布爾迪厄「藝術場域」學說中的資本、競爭、權力等概念為主,並以其它藝術場域相關理論包括經銷體系、酬賞制度等為輔,探索台灣當代藝術展覽空間與新生代藝術家之間的關連性,並分析這些藝術場域中的運作法則與制度對新世代藝術家藝術生涯發展上的可能影響性。期望本研究有助於台灣新世代藝術家對於藝術場域與展覽空間以及兩者相互制約的了解,且在他卅她們的藝術生涯發展上能獲得更高的成就。 本研究共分為四大章,第一章為研究背景介紹。第二章以布爾迪厄藝術場域之理論與其它藝術場域之相關理論為主,解析藝術場域中存在的各種運作法則與制度。第三章介紹台灣當代藝術場域與各類展覽空間發展的時代背景與概況。第四章以藝術場域之理論分析展覽空間與新世代藝術家之關係,及說明台灣當代藝術展覽空間對新世代藝術家的重要性和影響性。
Exhibition space connecting artists and the art field is one of the main intermediaries of contemporary visual art. As the germination of contemporary art in the 1980s of Taiwan, the changing art environment has enhanced both the quality and quantity of exhibition space, which not only increases the chance for new generation artists to cut a fine figure, but also influences upon their career development either directly or indirectly. Through the conception of Capital, Struggle and Power in Pierre Bourdieu’s theory and other related theories including Distribution System and Reward System, this research examines what the relation between the exhibition space of contemporary art and new generation artists in Taiwan might be, and analyzes how the operation and system of the art field influence on their career development. Hopefully, the research will avail the new generation artists to understand the art field and the exhibition space to accomplish the higher achievement in their career. This thesis contains four main chapters. The first chapter is the introduction of research background. The second chapter examines Bourdieu’s theory of the art field and other related theories. In the third chapter, the circumstance of contemporary art field and development of exhibition space in Taiwan are discussed. Finally, the last chapter analyzes the relation between the exhibition space and new generation artists in Taiwan in order to interpret the importance and influence of the field of contemporary art for them.
