Book excerpt: Emigration, being lost in a strange world, the search for a new identity and longing for things and people that have been lost form the central topics in the work of the Albanian artist Adrian Paci. The volume presents his iconic works which have earned him a world reputation.00Adrian Paci emigrated from Albania to Italy with his family in the late 1990s. His own experience of flight, of giving up shared communities and his searching for a new identity have left their mark on his artistic work. Over the last 20 years expressive works have been created in the form of videos, photos, painting and sculptures which treat these existential experiences. The accompanying essays take up this politically topical subject and examine Paci?s oeuvre from various angles. An interview with the artist rounds out the volume.00Exhibition: Kunsthalle Krems, Austria (24.11.2019 - 23.02.2020).

Book Synopsis The Trump Effect in Contemporary Art and Visual Culture by : Kit Messham-Muir
Download or read book The Trump Effect in Contemporary Art and Visual Culture written by Kit Messham-Muir and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2021 Capitol Hill Riot marked a watershed moment when the 'old world' of factbased systems of representation was briefly overwhelmed by the emerging hyper-individual politics of aestheticized emotion. In The Trump Effect in Contemporary Art and Visual Culture, Kit Messham-Muir and Uroš Cvoro analyse the aesthetics that have emerged at the core of 21st-century politics, and which erupted at the US Capitol in January 2021. Looking at this event's aesthetic dimensions through such aspects as QAnon, white resentment and strongman authoritarianism, they examine the world-wide historical trends towards ethno-nationalism and populism that emerged following the end of the Cold War in 1989 and the dawning of the current post-ideological age. Building on their ground-breaking research into how trauma, emotion and empathy have become well-worn tropes in contemporary art informed by conflict, Messham-Muir and Cvoro go further by highlighting the ways in which art can actively disrupt an underlying drift in society towards white supremacism and ultranationalism. Utilising their outsiders' perspective on a so-called American phenomenon, and rejecting American exceptionalism, their theorising of the 'Trump Effect' rejects the idea of Trump as a political aberration, but as a symptom of deeper and longer-term philosophical shifts in global politics and society. As theorists of contemporary art and visual culture, Messham-Muir and Cvoro explore the ways in which these features of the Trump Effect operate through aesthetics, in the intersection of politics and contemporary art, and provide valuable insight into the current political context.

Book excerpt: A profoundly thought-provoking 35mm film installation, Adrian Paci's Per Speculum draws upon cinema and myth to reflect upon narratives of exile, flight and resistance. In the opening scenes, a group of children are presented in an idyllic landscape setting, the reality of which is suddenly shattered and fractured, destabilising our perception and perspective. The second half of the film sees the community of child actors congregate in a majestic tree. With the impenetrable wisdom and insouciance of youth, they reflect the sun's rays back towards the camera, blinding us in the process. As flashes of light rhyme with the clapping of the projector, the strobing, flickering effect is definitional of cinema, whilst evoking universal themes found in classical art through complex visual phenomena and allegory. -- Exhibitions website.

Book Synopsis The Closure of Space in Roman Poetics by : Victoria Rimell
Download or read book The Closure of Space in Roman Poetics written by Victoria Rimell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious book investigates a major yet underexplored nexus of themes in Roman cultural history: the evolving tropes of enclosure, retreat and compressed space within an expanding, potentially borderless empire. In Roman writers' exploration of real and symbolic enclosures - caves, corners, villas, bathhouses, the 'prison' of the human body itself - we see the aesthetic, philosophical and political intersecting in fascinating ways, as the machine of empire is recast in tighter and tighter shapes. Victoria Rimell brings ideas and methods from literary theory, cultural studies and philosophy to bear on an extraordinary range of ancient texts rarely studied in juxtaposition, from Horace's Odes, Virgil's Aeneid and Ovid's Ibis, to Seneca's Letters, Statius' Achilleid and Tacitus' Annals. A series of epilogues puts these texts in conceptual dialogue with our own contemporary art world, and emphasizes the role Rome's imagination has played in the history of Western thinking about space, security and dwelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the intersections between debates in critical studies of men and masculinities and debates on visual representation, investigating representations of men and masculinities in contemporary culture and examples of visual art that deconstruct those representations. It attends to various spaces associated with heteronormativity, including the visible domains of working life, leisure and public discourses, as well as less visible domains such as private spaces, lifestyle, desire and sexual agency.

Book Synopsis Terrorism and the Arts by : Jonathan Harris
Download or read book Terrorism and the Arts written by Jonathan Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the key definitions, forms, contexts and impacts of terrorist activity on the arts in the modern era, using historical and contemporary perspectives. Its empirical case studies include theatre, literature, music, visual art, mass media, film and the mores of ‘ordinary life.’ While its immediate reflective context is Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, the book reviews a broader range of definitions and counter-definitions of 'terrorism', 'state terrorism' and 'states of terror,' examining uses of the terms through a series of comparative analyses. Chapters focus on the intersection of these definitional questions with heuristic analysis of art forms, cultural activities and their socio-historical contexts. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, terrorism, politics and the media, and visual culture.

Book Synopsis La Biennale Di Venezia by : Biennale de Venise

Book excerpt: Pour la première fois que des directeurs de Biennale sont de genre féminin, Rosa Martinez a insisté sur la position des femmes dans le monde de l'art. Le groupe féministe des Guerrilla Girls ouvre l'exposition avec sept affiches spectaculaires et humoristiques. Le fait qu'un Lion d'Or soit donné à Annette Messager première femme artiste désignée pour représenter la France à Venise consacre cette arrivée d'une conscience féministe ayant permission de parole dans l'art contemporain, en espérant qu'il ne s'agit pas que d'une mode conjoncturelle. Et que la démonstration ne sera plus à refaire... en force!

Book Synopsis Mobility and Migration in Film and Moving Image Art by : Nilgun Bayraktar
Download or read book Mobility and Migration in Film and Moving Image Art written by Nilgun Bayraktar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility and Migration in Film and Moving Image Art explores cinematic and artistic representations of migration and mobility in Europe from the 1990s to today. Drawing on theories of migrant and diasporic cinema, moving-image art, and mobility studies, Bayraktar provides historically situated close readings of films, videos, and cinematic installations that concern migratory networks and infrastructures across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Probing the notion of Europe as a coherent entity and a borderless space, this interdisciplinary study investigates the ways in which European ideals of mobility and fluidity are deeply enmeshed with forced migration, illegalization, and xenophobia. With a specific focus on distinct forms of mobility such as labor migration, postcolonial migration, tourism, and refugee mobilities, Bayraktar studies the new counter-hegemonic imaginations invoked by the work of filmmakers such as Ayşe Polat, Fatih Akin, Michael Haneke, and Tony Gatlif as well as video essays and installations of artists such as Kutluğ Ataman, Ursula Biemann, Ergin Çavuşoğlu, Maria Iorio and Raphaël Cuomo. Challenging aesthetic as well as national, cultural, and political boundaries, the works central to this book envision Europe as a diverse, inclusive, and unfixed continent that is reimagined from many elsewheres well beyond its borders.
Book Synopsis Central and Eastern European Art Since 1950 (World of Art) by : Maja Fowkes
Download or read book Central and Eastern European Art Since 1950 (World of Art) written by Maja Fowkes and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking introduction to the contemporary art of central and Eastern Europe, this wide-ranging study explores painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and conceptual work. In this pathbreaking new history, Maja and Reuben Fowkes introduce outstanding artworks and major figures from across central and Eastern Europe to reveal the movements, theories, and styles that have shaped artistic practice since 1950. They emphasize the particularly rich and varied art scenes of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Yugoslavia, extending their gaze at intervals to East Germany, Romania, the Baltic states, and the rest of the Balkans. This generously illustrated overview explores the richness of this region’s artists’ singular contribution to recent art history. Tracing art-historical changes from 1950 to now, the authors examine the repercussions of political events on artistic life—notably the uprisings in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, the Solidarity movement in Poland, and the collapse of the communist bloc. But their primary interest is in the experimental art of the neo-avant-garde that resisted official agendas and engaged with global currents such as performance art, video, multimedia, and net art. Central and Eastern European Art Since 1950 is a comprehensive, transnational survey of the major movements of art from this region.
