本期《天津美術學院學報》的學術主題，主要是有關“公共藝術”的現象評析，及其文化理念的思考，為此，本期的《今日人物》欄目重點關注了景育民先生，作為我院的知名教授，他親身主持和參與了一系列在當下中國深具影響力的公共藝術項目。

本期的《展覽現場》和《藝術視野》欄目，也圍繞公共藝術與當代雕塑創作這一命題，并結合有關藝術創作的文化生態進行了各個不同主題角度的探討。當代的藝術創作，不可避免地密切聯絡著創作的特定場所環境，聯系著特定的創作心態和觀者的視野，無論是一個藝術家的群體，還是單獨個體的藝術創作，都必須直面藝術的公共性，這樣的對話經驗，對于今天的每一次美術實驗探索及其研究反思，都是無比珍貴的。

同時，在《史論經緯》欄目當中，我們也推介了一批相關主題的史論研究成果，無論是從東西方藝術史現象當中的經驗鉤沉，或是結合當代理論和實踐經驗的拓展性研究，都可以更好地揭示出我們文化視野當中的藝術性質和藝術品位，這不但有益于有關公共藝術與雕塑的理解認知，更有益于我們建構一個更加具有開放性和創造性的藝術世界。

The academic theme of this issue ofJournal of Tianjin Academy of Fine Artsis mainly comment on and analysis of “public art” as well as some thoughts on its cultural concept. For this reason, the column Figures of Today of this issue focuses on Mr. Jing Yumin, who, as a well-known professor at TAFA, has directed and participated in a series of public art projects highly influential in today’s China.

The columns Exhibition Reviews and Art Vision of this issue also center on public art and the creation of contemporary sculpture, and probe into the topic from different perspectives considering the cultural ecology of relevant artistic creations. Unavoidably, contemporary artistic creation is closely related to the particular environment of creation, the particular mentality of the artists and the viewers’ opinions. Both a group of artists and an individual artist must take publicness of art into account in their artistic creation. This kind of experience is precious to every experimental exploration of art today and study and rethinking about it.

Meanwhile, in the column of Art History and Theories, we recommend a series of relevant research results in art historical and theoretical research, which, whether they are analyses, in a new light, of phenomena in Eastern and Western art history or expansive researches in connection with contemporary theory and practical experience, may serve to reveal, in a better way, the artistic nature and artistic quality in our cultural horizon. This will be beneficial not only to understanding and perceiving public art and sculpture, but also to structuring a more open and creative world of art.
