CIRRUS

——天津美术学院实验艺术学院

当代艺术线上系列论坛

CIRRUS • Contemporary Art Online Series Forum 

Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts School of Experimental Art

“云端”一词来源于互联网技术的革新，是一种基于互联网的计算方式。通过这种方式，互联网上共享的软、硬件资源和信息可以按需求提供给计算机各终端和其他设备。2020年席卷全球的新冠疫情深刻改变了我们的行为和交流方式，互联网打破诸多现实屏障，为交流提供了新的可能。

The term "CIRRUS" comes from the innovation of Internet. It is an Internet-based computing method by which hardware and software resources, as well as information shared over the Internet can be available to computer terminals and other devices on demand. The novel coronavirus sweeping the world in 2020 has profoundly changed our behavior and communication methods, while the Internet has broken down many reality barriers and provided new possibilities for communication.

      天津美术学院实验艺术学院举办的“云端论坛”是基于互联网的当代艺术、文化交流项目。论坛借助互联网，把物理空间上遥不可及的人们连接在一起，让思维相互碰撞，像云一样聚集，并酝酿出雨、雪、雷、电等强烈的能量。论坛以线上交流的方式展开，以每一个月一期的频率长期举办，将邀请国内外知名艺术家、批评家、策展人、美术馆人、博物馆人等，就当代艺术的重要议题展开讨论。同时，该论坛将衍生相关学术展览、线上资源推送及文献出版.

The Cirrus Forum, organized by the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts School of Experimental Art, is a contemporary art and cultural communication project based on internet. With the help of the Internet, the forum connects people who are unreachable in physical space, colliding thoughts with each other like “cirrus”, brewing intense energy such as rain, snow, thunder and electricity. The forum will be held online every three months on a permanent basis. It will invite renowned artists, critics, curators, gallery professionals and museum professionals from domestic and overseas to discuss significant topics in contemporary art. At the same time, the forum will generate relevant academic exhibitions, online resources sharing and documentary publications.

“实验”作为一个方法论概念，被当代艺术或前卫艺术所运用，并被证明能够保证艺术机制的更新。当代艺术的发展动向，是实验艺术学院不断思考的核心问题，也是实验艺术专业在艺术学院中需要肩负的学术责任。“何为当代”以及“如何实验”需要实验艺术学院不断地追问。“云端论坛”旨在收集世界的声音，以全球化的视野深入探讨和研究当代艺术和实验性教学所要面临的挑战和问题。

“Experimentation” applied to contemporary or Avant-garde art as a methodological concept has been shown to guarantee a renewal of the artistic mechanism. The development of contemporary art is a core question that the School of Experimental Art should constantly think about, and it is also the academic responsibility that experimental art major in the Academy of Fine Art should undertake. “What is contemporary” and “how to experiment” need to be constantly asked by the School of Experimental Art. The Cirrus Forum aims to gather voices all around the world, discuss and study the challenges and issues faced by contemporary art and experimental teaching in global-perspective.
