Patirties įsisąmoninimas arba tautinio identiteto apraiškos šiuolaikinėje Lietuvos dailėje

LTStraipsnio objektas - šiuolaikinio Lietuvos meno kūriniai bei tendencijos. Tikslas - nustatyti tautinio identiteto sklaidos būdus kosmopolitinėje pastarojo laikotarpio (1989-2004 m.) lietuvių dailininkų kūryboje, atskleisti postmodernios estetikos įtaką tautinio tapatumo raiškos kaitai bei akcentuoti pakitusius prasminius šiuolaikinio meno epicentrus. Metodai: tarpdisciplininis ir teksto analizės. Išvados: pagrindinės tautinio identiteto raiškos formos šiuolaikiniame mene neatsiejamos nuo liaudiškosios tradicijos interpretacijų, istorinės patirties refleksijų bei socialinės tikrovės išviešinimo. Šiuolaikinėje Lietuvos kultūroje bei mene vyksta virsmas nuo uždarosios link atvirosios tautinės savivokos ir šį "slenkstį" galima laikyti tam tikra identiteto krize. Šiuolaikinių meno kūrinių prasmės skleidžiamos nebe turinio, formos, kolorito ar kompozicijos priemonėmis, bet pasitelkiant intertekstualias naudojamų medžiagų nuorodas. [Iš leidinio]Reikšminiai žodžiai: Tautinis identitetas; Lietuvos dailė; Lietuvos kultūra; Postmodernizmas; Kosmopolitizmas; National identity.

ENTo speak of the exceptionality of contemporary art based on national identity is not an easy thing, however, it is not a meaningless one. In truth, it can be done by using modern regulations of philosophy and culture, by rejecting the exceptional "closed" model of nationality that smells of arrogance and contempt for the other and by changing it into "open" model that becomes identical to the culture of one's own people and accepts the culture of other people. Undoubt fully, in contemporary cosmopolitan art the manifestations of national identification are evident, because art as never before is very social and reflective. Currently we can observe how art refuses the pretensions of being the statement or the representation of one's own culture. Contemporary art becomes the "text" of its own culture by quoting the national heritage (the language, religion, customs, traditions), by reflecting the historical experience, by employing archetipic references in order to actualize today's problems.In the current conceptual Lithuanian art that deliberately shows the society wounds instead of puttying them the "bothering" urging to clean oneself from ambiquities and a double - faced soul has been heard so far. According to artists, the way to the identity of a new quality is no longer an idealized romantic attitude but confrontation with oneself by implementing the principle (let me quote the words from Scripture) "when we become grown together with His picture of death we shall be grown together with the resurrection as well" (the Letter to the Romans 6. 5). Through the openess comes the forgiveness for oneself or for the other, the reconciliation with oneself and with the other, providing the hope for the world conception of a new quality and the realizing of one's own value. It could be maintained that artists throughout the current decade, aim to realize the experience that unites the nation by manipulating various devices thus showing the way for getting acquainted with oneself and for the identity which is carrying a mature realization.
