【新唐人2011年4月5日訊】德國三大博物館和中國國家博物館聯合舉辦《啟蒙的藝術》展覽，在主辦方的故鄉——德國，媒體如何看待這樣的展出？歐洲歷史上的「啟蒙運動」是甚麼？大陸藝術家們的現況又如何？請看詳細報導。
由德國柏林國家博物館、德纍斯頓國家藝術收藏館、巴伐利亞國家繪畫收藏館與中國國家博物館，聯合舉辦的名為《啟蒙的藝術》展覽，已經在4月2號對公眾開放。在為期一年的展覽過程中，將有近600件雕塑、油畫、圖書、服飾、傢俱等文物，來展現歐洲「啟蒙運動」的歷史、藝術和影響。為配合展覽，主辦雙方還將舉行多種討論和對話的活動。
德纍斯頓國家藝術收藏館館長羅特博士（Roth）：「這個展覽就像一次跟我們的中國朋友、中國參觀者的對話。」
起源於18世紀歐洲的「啟蒙運動」提出：「以人為中心」、「理性認識世界」，表現在社會中的精神主要是「民主和人權」。「啟蒙運動」中，著名的法國哲學家伏爾泰提倡自由平等，他曾說過：「我不同意你說的每一個字，但是我誓死捍衛你說話的權利。」
歐洲「啟蒙運動」深刻的影響到西方社會近300年來的政治、經濟和文化等多個領域。美國著名政治家本杰明佛蘭克林，和湯瑪斯傑弗遜把民主、共和的理念，也寫入了《美國獨立宣言》中去。
在一黨專制的中國展現「啟蒙的藝術」，德國媒體一片譁然。《南德意志報》分析說，「當中共可以將作家監禁十年之久，可以越來越多的管制互聯網，可以在北京王府井讓國安的便衣毆打外國記者時，中共的黨魁們當然願意展示自己的所謂開放胸懷、對西方的『啟蒙』展現所謂的寬容態度。」
就在這個展覽開幕後的第二天上午（4月3號），大陸藝術家艾未未出境時在首都機場受阻，這是繼今年1月，他上海的工作室被強拆後，再次受到當局的打壓。
去年秋天在德國巡迴交流的大陸作家廖亦武，最近也收到官方通牒，不許出訪美國、澳大利亞。
廖亦武：「這麼多年，我的寫作方向，他們（中共）認為始終是個問題，這個問題直到現在也沒解決。3月28號，突然就是改變了一種說法，就說不准出國。」
事實上，中共從1949年以後，就全面開始迫害有獨立思想的知識份子、藝術家、作家，到文革中達到高潮。在文革中文藝界被迫害死的名人能夠列出一份長長的名單。而近30年來，被整肅、打壓的作家就有劉賓雁、記者師濤、藝術家艾未未等多人。近期，南方報業的著名時政評論員長平，卻是以“休學術假”的名義，被開除了。
而中國著名的雕塑家張崑崙在記錄片《超越紅牆》（Beyond the Red Wall）中，也陳述了自己被中共迫害的親身經歷。
原山東藝術學院雕塑研究所所長張崑崙：「我就是告訴大家法輪大法電臺將在2000年開播而被關進警察局。我遭受酷刑折磨，被電棍電擊。我被打得很厲害，我的腿被打傷，衣服被撕壞。皮膚被電焦，疼痛難忍。」
大陸網友表示，「歐洲的啟蒙運動精神最重要的部分為：對公共事務的參與精神、自由民主等理念，中共當局對藝術家嚴厲的打壓，有違啟蒙的精神。」

『Art of Enlightenment』 Opens in Beijing
『Art of Enlightenment』 exhibit opens in Beijing,
organized by German and Chinese museums.
How does the German media view the event?
What is the European 『Enlightenment movement』?
What is the situation with the Chinese artists?
State museums in Berlin, Dresden and Munich,
together with the National Museum of China
opened the yearlong 』Art of Enlightenment』
exhibition in Beijing on April 2.
Nearly 600 pieces of sculpture, painting, clothing
and furniture showcase the history and arts
of the European Enlightenment movement.
Forums and discussions will be hosted as well.
Director Roth of Dresden State Museum said
that the show is like dialog with Chinese visitors.
The European Enlightenment movement
emerged in the 18th century, and was based
on humanity and rational thinking.
It inspired ideas of democracy and human rights.
French Enlightenment writer Voltaire said,
“I may not agree with what you have to say,
but I’ll defend to death your right to say it.”
Enlightenment has influenced the West
for 300 years in politics, economy, and culture.
American politicians Franklin and Jefferson
included the ideal of democracy and the republic
in the Declaration of Independence.
Showing Enlightenment art in dictatorial China
stirred up German media.
Sued Deutsche newspaper said that
the Chinese regime jails writers, censors the web,
and has its plainclothes security beat reporters.
But the regime is certainly willing to show
openness and tolerance to the West.
A day after the exhibit opened, Chinese artist
Ai Weiwei was detained at the airport on April 3.
His Shanghai workshop was recently dismantled .
Writer Liao Yiwu, who visited Germany last year,
was deprived of the right to travel abroad.
Liao: “Over the years, my writing is seen
as a problem, this issue still isn』t resolved.
On March 28, they told me I cannot go abroad.”
Since 1949, the Chinese Communist Party
has suppressed intellectuals and artists.
Persecution peaked during Cultural Revolution,
with a long list of artists killed.
Over the last 30 years, many intellectuals
have been suppressed, include writer Liu Binyan,
reporter Shi Tao, and artist Ai Weiwei.
Recently, well-known commentator Chang Ping
was removed from South Media Group.
Chinese sculptor Zhang Kunlun, featured in
the documentary 『Beyond the Red Wall』,
described his experience under the persecution.
Zhang, former director of Shandong Art Institute:
“I was arrested for telling people about
the Falun Dafa broadcasting station.
I was severely tortured with electric batons.
They beat me badly, broke my leg, tore my clothes.
My skin was burnt, the pain was unbearable.”
A Chinese blogger said that
European Enlightenment promotes
public participation, freedom and democracy.
The Chinese regime suppresses artists,
and violates the spirit of enlightenment.
