The Particularities of Participatory Art against Chinese Rural Construction Context Compared with the West——Lyrical Humanistic Care

Abstract

To redefine the empowerment of art and local culture by combining them together in the process of rural construction in China. Participatory art and interventional art both emphasize art and community, problem-oriented and realistic participation, cooperation, dialogue and negotiation through the whole development of postmodernist art. In the special context of the combination, collision and experiment between postmodernist art and the process of rural construction in China, and the combination of Chinese local culture with participatory art, art works have implied more humanistic care, which is closely related to the empowerment of artists and art in the context of Chinese local culture. Compared with the confrontational, reflective and critical participatory art in the United States and Europe, Chinese participatory art is more like a lyrical, guided and caring artistic practice. Therefore, in the context of Chinese rural construction, Chinese participatory art presents special art forms and artistic expressions, and the art empowerment is not only faced with the review of the development of art, but also tested by community and realistic context.
