現成物

現成物（英語：found object，源自法語objet trouvé的仿譯）又稱為現成藝術（found art）^[1]^[2]^[3]，是由日常物品創造的藝術品，有時會加以改裝，所用的這些物品通常不被認為是藝術創作的材料，並且一般具有非藝術功能。^[4]巴勃羅·畢加索最早公開使用了這一概念，當時他將打印出的藤椅圖像粘到他的畫作《有藤椅的靜物》（Still Life with Chair Caning，1912年）上。幾年後馬塞爾·杜尚製作的一系列現成品（ready-made）被認為達到了這一概念的極致，他挑選了一些日常物品並且在完全不經修飾的情況下指定這些物品為藝術品。^[5]最著名的例子是他1917年的作品《噴泉》。這是他從商店購買的一個標準小便斗，他直接將其放在一個基座上展示。從嚴格意義上說，「ready-made」一詞僅適用於杜尚的作品^[6]。他在紐約期間從服裝行業借用了這個詞（法語：prêt-à-porter ，意為「成衣」) ，「ready-made」尤指其1913年至1921年間的作品。

現成物從藝術家賦予它們的地位以及物品本身附帶的社會歷史中獲得它們作為藝術品的身份。後者可以通過物品的磨損來展現（如柯特·希維特斯（英語：Kurt Schwitters）的拼貼畫），也可以通過其能夠被識別為消費品標誌的特性來展現（如海姆·施泰恩巴赫（英語：Haim Steinbach）的雕塑）。現成物所處的環境也是需要考量的關鍵因素。以這種方式抬高普通物品地位的想法起初是對當時公認的藝術與非藝術之間區別的一個大膽挑戰。雖然這一行為現在可以被藝術界所接受，但它仍舊繼續引起質疑。比如泰特美術館在特納獎展覽中展出的特蕾西·艾敏作品《我的床》（My Bed）就極具爭議。這一作品就是她自己睡過的一張凌亂的床以及周圍散落的衣服和雜物，直接從她的臥室搬到泰特美術館展覽。從這個意義上說，藝術家給了觀眾時間和舞台來思考這個物體。因此，現成物可以促使觀察者進行哲學反思，包括厭惡、冷漠、懷舊到同理心等。

作為一種藝術形式，現成物往往包含了藝術家的想法，至少包括了藝術家將物品指定為藝術這一行為本身，而且藝術家總會通過一個作品標題來進一步表達其想法。現成物通常會經過一定程度的修改，儘管有時無法被識別，就像杜尚的現成品一樣。最近的批判理論則認為，指定任何物品為藝術以及將其移動到他處展示的行為（包括杜尚的現成品）都構成了對物品的修改，因為它改變了人類對它用法、壽命或狀態的看法。
