本期《天津美术学院学报》的学术主题，主要是有关“公共艺术”的现象评析，及其文化理念的思考，为此，本期的《今日人物》栏目重点关注了景育民先生，作为我院的知名教授，他亲身主持和参与了一系列在当下中国深具影响力的公共艺术项目。

本期的《展览现场》和《艺术视野》栏目，也围绕公共艺术与当代雕塑创作这一命题，并结合有关艺术创作的文化生态进行了各个不同主题角度的探讨。当代的艺术创作，不可避免地密切联络着创作的特定场所环境，联系着特定的创作心态和观者的视野，无论是一个艺术家的群体，还是单独个体的艺术创作，都必须直面艺术的公共性，这样的对话经验，对于今天的每一次美术实验探索及其研究反思，都是无比珍贵的。

同时，在《史论经纬》栏目当中，我们也推介了一批相关主题的史论研究成果，无论是从东西方艺术史现象当中的经验钩沉，或是结合当代理论和实践经验的拓展性研究，都可以更好地揭示出我们文化视野当中的艺术性质和艺术品位，这不但有益于有关公共艺术与雕塑的理解认知，更有益于我们建构一个更加具有开放性和创造性的艺术世界。

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.
