戴维·哈维提出的历史-地理唯物主义为理解和阐释艺术创作中的空间体验与艺术表达提供了一个独特的视角。根据这种理论,空间的含义始终处于不断变动之中,其复杂性不是由这一概念本身决定的,而要取决于人类物质生产的历史状况和语境的变化。在对空间的体验中,物理空间所折射出的人类生产状况和物质特性,总是伴随着人们的心理体验和历史想象。对空间的艺术表达,往往成为社会历史状况与空间体验之间的中介,也就是空间体验的固定化和物质化呈现形式。当代西方艺术上的后现代主义,实际上反映了晚期资本主义的历史-地理状况。
Harvey David's historical-geographical materialism provides a unique viewpoint for understanding and interpreting the spatial experience and expression in artistic creation.According to this theory,the meaning of space is always in a constant flux,and its complexity is not determined by the concept itself but depends on changes in the historical condition of human material production and the context.In the experience of space,physical space reflects the characteristics of human production and materials and is always accompanied by personal psychological experience and historical imagination.The artistic expression of space,which often becomes the intermediary between the social and historical conditions and the spatial experience,is also a kind of the fixed and materialized form of the spatial experience.Postmodernism in contemporary Western art actually reveals the historical-geographical condition of the late capitalism.
