Fang Lijun and “Cynical Realism”
方立钧和玩世现实主义
Referentin: 耿焱 Geng Yan (Universität Heidelberg)
Coined by Li Xianting in 1996, Cynical Realism is always viewed in the double framework of changing artistic discourses and the post ’89 social reality, and has connected with the works of Fang Lijun from then on. Although the critics generally agree that Fang Lijun is the representative of Cynical Realism, this term, as any label, implies certain discourse generated from the social, political, and cultural position, and thus provokes the contradiction in the interpretations of Fang Lijun’s art. This essay intends to examine the distinctive responses towards Fang Lijun’s work, to compare the different positions among the critics both inside China and in the west as well as that of the artist himself, and further to analyze the construction and self-construction of the identity of avant-garde in the social system.
