我没有自己的名字？

兰杰

我是谁？我看着他们嘿嘿地笑，我不知道该怎么说。我没有自己的名字，可是我一上街，我的名字比谁都多，他们想叫我什么，我就是什么。他们遇到我时正在打喷嚏，就会叫我喷嚏；他们刚从厕所里出来，就会叫我擦屁股纸；他们向我招手的时候，就叫我过来；向我挥手时，就叫我滚开……还有老狗、瘦猎什么的。他们怎么叫我，我都答应，因为我没有自己的名字，他们只要凑近我，看着我，向我叫起来，我马上就会答应。我想起来了，他们叫我叫得最多的是：喂！

——余华《我没有自己的名字》

《我没有自己的名字》 是余华自己最看重和最满意的短篇作品，当然也是我最喜欢的。

当代文化如同泡面一般的迅速发展的同时，有其自身无法克服的内在悲剧性。文化包括内容和精神两个层面，内容生成精神，精神又影响内容，两者相辅相成，但是当内容都是千篇一律的模仿，复制，山寨，其精神情何以堪？当今年轻人作品真的很难让人叫的出名字，却总能看到某某的影子，这样的悲哀，就像文中的：“我摇了很长时间的头，摇完了头，我对自己说：以后谁叫我来发，我都不会答应了。”

亚里斯多德认为:“人本自由，为自己的生存而生存，不为别人的生存而生存。”西方的人本主义文化强调个体和自我的意识. 当下年轻人虽然受西方哲学，艺术的影响甚至超过传统文化的感染。但是中国特色的“拿来主义”却在一部分人身上展露无疑，也许这是为了迎合某种市场的商业趣味，不得而知，反而传达出来的仅仅是很傻很天真的无知。

此次参展的艺术家让我们很兴奋的看到了他们自己的态度，或许用思想，符号这一类词还过于严重用在一群八零后艺术家身上，然而他们的这种态度会自信的说出他们自己的名字。

当代艺术赋予艺术家的是怀疑的精神和批判的立场。这批年轻人摆脱了模仿复制消极的束缚，保持着艺术家应有的特立独行的精神，他们没有失去自我，让作品告诉大家：

请记住我的名字！

Lost my name？

Who am I? I watched their laughing me, I do not know how to say. I have no my own name, but I took to the streets, my name more than anyone else, what they want to call me, I am anything. They met when I was sneezing, they call me sneeze; they had just come out of the toilet, they call me wipe paper; when they beckon to me, called me come; waving to me, called me beat……There are old dog, thin hunting or something. How they call me, I answer, because I do not own the name, they just leaned in me, and looked at me, call me, I will answer immediately. I remember that they call me mostly is: Hey!

is the most value and satisfying short work of Yu Hua himself. Of course, my favorite.

Contemporary culture as instant noodles, while the rapid development in general, it can not overcome the inherent tragic. Culture included content and spirit, spirit generated content, spirit affect content, both two complement each other, however, when the contents are stereotyped imitation, copy, “cottage”, how is his spirit display? Today's young people work really hard to call out their names, but always able to see the shadow of somebody, the ending of sorrow just like Yu Hua write in the novels :” I roll head long time, after, I said to myself: who will call me Lai Fa, I wouldn’t answer.”

Aristotle said: "Human is freedom, for their own survival, not survival of others. " Western humanistic culture emphasizes the individual and self-consciousness. Although present youth influenced by western philosophy, art even more than the traditional Chinese culture, but Chinese characteristics "used" is exposed on someone no doubt, perhaps this is for cater the market’s commercial interest, it’s unable to find out, Instead, it's just silly to convey a very naive ignorance.

We are very excited to see the participating artists their own attitudes, perhaps cogitation, symbols this kind of vocabulary is too serious to use on the artists who after eighty generation. Whatever, they will be confident to say their own name.

Contemporary art, give artists the spirit of skepticism and critical position. These young people get rid of the bondage of negative imitation and copy, maintain the maverick spirit of a artist should have. They don’t lost themselves, their works will tell the public:

Please remember my name!
