The Square

《自由广场》

Ruben Östlund has some issues with the contemporary art scene. "In the art world," the Swedish director told Variety, "you bring everything you do into a theory level, where it loses its contact with the outside world in many ways." He should know. His new film, starring Dominic West as a US artist showing off a new installation that"s supposed to encourage consideration and humanistic regard, is loosely based on his own experience. Östlund once debuted an installation where two people enter a square space meant to symbolise a street intersection, and in that space they interact with each other following the courtesy and deference of motorists to pedestrians encouraged by traffic laws. Art should "remind us of those humanistic values," Östlund says. "I think that this is not very common in the art world."

鲁本·奥斯特伦德对当代艺术界有些看法。这位瑞典导演告诉《Variety》，“在艺术世界里，你把自己所做的一切都上升到理论的高度，这样切断了艺术与外界的许多联系。”他对此深有体会。奥斯特伦德的新片《自由广场》基本基于他的个人经历，片中多米尼克·威斯特饰演一位美国艺术家，他大肆鼓吹一个本应该宣扬关怀和人文主义的新装置艺术品。奥斯特伦德曾经推出一个装置艺术品，在这件作品中，两个人进入代表着街道十字路口的空间，在这里他们发生互动，在交通法规的引导下，开车的人对行人有礼而尊重。奥斯特伦德说，艺术应该“让我们想起那些人文价值，我认为这在艺术世界中不常见。”
