Research On New Character Of Contemporary Chinese Art Production From The Perspective Of Symbolic Consumption Theory

Forms of art are infinite variety and incredibly fantastic so art always be viewed as the achievement of idealism and talent which shows the human's power and beauty on spirit field. However, with the start of industrial revolution, art has also been influencing by the dominate logic of production and becoming a kind of social production. This means its connotation and extension has extremely developed.So Marx creates his art production theory from those dual dimensions: political economics dimension and philosophy dimension. He emphasizes the importance of materiality and secularity in art field, illustrates the law that art is restricted by productive materials, meanwhile art could also put activity effects on reality world.Besides, the development of art some time couldn't match the conditions of reality world.Time goes by and art production also faces different facts and scenes, so Baudrillard takes a further understanding of art production's fact from semiotics perspective which bases on Marx's art production theory. He thinks that the consumption logic has dominated all the world, but this kind of consumption never set on a material stone but becomes symbolization. Separation of signifier and signified adds more social significances on consumption.Contemporary Chinese art production has been also influencing by this social trend so that shows a new character of symbolic consumption. Art consumption plays a more important role than art production and the boundary between art and commodity is becoming more and more fuzzy. Meanwhile, the commodity of art production also becomes symbolization and image era dominate all the parts of art production. As the fact that art production belongs to spirit field, it should influence the development of it. Under the trend of symbolic consumption, on the one hand,individuals struggle in the dilemma of diversity and convergence, on the other hand,art production provides a bridge for people to communicate and understand each other.So popular culture which developed in such way challenges authority and gives voice for minority in which shows democracy and freedom. At the same time, art production which be cheated as a tool of ideology, could play an powerful role in international political area. Because of the importance of art production, how to develop is the impendency need for contemporary China.At the base of Marx's art production theory, the primary target of studies on Baudrillard's symbolic consumption theory is to develop contemporary Chinese art production career and help people to realize the essence of them, release the freedom for them and achieve the final aim: people's integrated development.
