brief introduction

From June 16 to November 31, 2013, the first Zhangzhou international public art exhibition from Kassel will be held in Zhangzhou Bihu ecological park. It is a work of art to participate in the exhibition, named station, which is the work of young artist Liu Qing. Liu Qing responded that he created this work to put forward some thoughts on this social phenomenon and hoped to arouse the attention and vigilance of parents and relevant departments. in the rest corridor of the station, a pair of middle school students in school uniforms played "tongue kissing" in front of many people waiting for the bus. Next to the male student, there was a chewed green apple. The male student was wearing a pair of "Nike" shoes, carrying a McDonald's bag with a hamburger and so on. A "security guard" stood on one side of the corridor, staring at them. This work of art has aroused much criticism from the public. Many people think that this work of art will play a misleading role and even become a negative teaching material.

The theme of education is obvious

In fact, on the whole, the educational theme of the sculpture is very obvious: the waiting benches on one side of the station are full of people, while on the other side there are only two middle school students kissing. Some of the passengers on the opposite bench turned to look out of the window, and some looked at it with strange eyes. Such a scene clearly tells the world that the behavior of middle school students is uncivilized. The author "wants everyone to think according to their own situation after seeing it, so as to arouse the attention and vigilance of parents and relevant departments", which can achieve the expected effect. Objectively speaking, this is an original work of art, in which the details such as the bitten green apple have certain symbolic significance. Not only do we not have to worry about the students seeing them, on the contrary, the school can organize the students to look at these sculptures, and then go back to write a review. Even, it is not too much for the relevant departments to regard the theme of sculpture as the topic of college entrance examination composition. Professor Hu Rong, director of the Sociology Department of Xiamen University, said well, "whether this work will play a misleading or alert role depends on the perspective of the viewer." For such a large sculpture, you can only see the details of someone else's kissing, or even describe it as a tongue kiss. It's really a deviation from the aesthetic point of view. I believe that most of the people who see this group of sculptures criticize the kissing behavior of middle school students in public places, rather than imitate it. it's not that works of art show intimacy that are not suitable for exhibition. What's more, compared with the content of TV and Internet, the intimacy scale of station is not large. If children who are not familiar with the world see the sculpture, parents can take the opportunity to educate their children. It's wrong to do so in public places. On the contrary, if children see the media reports, they have to ask their parents what is tongue kissing, which is difficult to explain. The media magnifies the details of an educational sculpture, which is far more misleading than the sculpture itself.

Worry about becoming a negative textbook

More and more students fall in love, parents and teachers are very worried about it. Many people think that this work of art will play a misleading role and even become a "negative teaching material". Mr. Lin took his daughter, who was less than 2 years old, to visit here. After seeing this scene, Mr. Lin shook his head: "in the park pavilion, it's not suitable to put the art of" sucking snails "(kissing) of middle school students." Netizens imagined the scene after the art exhibition: "the child pointed to the art and asked: Mom and Dad, what are they doing? Parents: not for children. Pull away. " The netizen asks in amazement: "is this sure to be put in public place?" Then he said, "now the park is mostly for the elderly and children. It's a bit hard for them to accept this." Netizens are even more worried: the protagonist in the artwork is a middle school student. I think it will give middle school students a psychological hint that they should do so, and younger children may imitate such works. Whether such works of art beyond the psychological limit of many people should be exhibited or not remains to be discussed.
