諾貝爾文學獎得主高行健博士傑出講座
「有限與無限──創作美學」

講座摘要

高行健博士將於講座中論述他在文學和藝術創作方面的經驗與思考。每一門藝術都有其限度,也就是這門藝術存在的條件。文學離不開語言,小說離不開敘述,戲劇離不開演員的表演,繪畫離不開造型的空間這二度的平面。藝術家首先得承認這個極限,再在這種限定下去尋求表現的自由,從而找到自己的創作方法。

 

 

Distinguished Public Lecture by Dr Gao Xingjian, Nobel Laureate in Literature
"The Finite and the Infinite: the Aesthetics of Creation"

Synopsis of the Lecture

In his lecture "The Finite and the Infinite: the Aesthetics of Creation", Dr. Gao Xingjian will talk about his experiences in and reflections on the creation of literature and art. Every form of art is confined to a finite set of limitations, i.e., the key features that characterize its nature. For examples, literature is to languages, fiction to narrative, drama to actors' performance, and painting to the two-dimensional representation of objects. In determining his or her own approach to creation, an artist must first acknowledge these limitations, and then explore the infinite freedom of expression within.
