This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterizing the situation in global contemporary art as that of the quagmire of nihilistic endless 'endgame' of the 'possibility of pervasive fradulence' (in Statley Cavell's words), Kai Hong presents a group of new artists from Korea as representing a new spiritual in art, capable of overcoming the Nihilism pervasive throughout the global institution of the'contemporar' art. The author takes issue with Arthur Danto's (and others like Hal Foster et al of the so-called International Centers of Art in New York and Paris) version of "Art after the End of Art" as intellectually dishonest attempts at globe-wide ultural Domination from the same hegemonic centers of Power --the same power centers of international finance and politicval economy-- ensconced in New York, London and Washington DC. Agreeing with Francois Jullien of France, the author suggests that the recovery of the forgotten artistic ideal from Ancient East Asia and their reformulation, custom-designed for the spiritual needs of the 21st Century is what is needed and precisely such new art is emerging from Korea, of all places. Rejecting Arthur Danto's notion of Art-after-the-End-of-Art as having been poorly argued, Author characterizes the situation of 'Contemporary Art' worldwide as mired in Nihilism of the passive kind, borrowing Nietzsche's term. Arguing that exhausted Western Grammar of Thinking which gave birth to the Modernity is intrinsically unable to overcome that Nihilism, it is mere intellectual fraud and hypocrisy to even talk of Post-modernity or Post-Colonialism or Multiculturalism. Kandinsky called for New Art --the art born of the Artist's inner necessity-- to overcome Western Nihilism in his Manifesto "Concerning The Spiritual in Art." Only the Arts animated by spiritual breath can overcome the contemporary nihilism pervasive in the Arts that go by the name of 'Contemporary Art'. Kai argues that Kandinsky had right ideas but failed to think through it and come up with the right kind of Art. Instead, Kai argues that the Arts that has rediscovered the spiritual resources of the Ancient East-Asian Art for their cultural reconfiguration of the contemporary Artistic Practices. Echoing some of Francois Jullien's radical contrasting of the traditional Western and Chinese Grammars of Thinking, Kai argues in this book that a group of South Korean Painters have been able to create peculiarly East-Asian modernist Art Works of Inner Necessity, creating the New Spiritual in Art, animated by the Spirit of Daam in their works of Paintings. What Kandinsky failed a century ago, these group of Korea Painters have been able to succeed and promises to open up an entirely new horizon of Art, rejecting in toto the entire edifice of what is by now an globalized artistic edifice of 'Contemporary Art'.

Book Synopsis Contemplating Music by : Joseph Kerman
Download or read book Contemplating Music written by Joseph Kerman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemplating Music is a book for all serious music lovers. Here is the first full-scale of ideas and ideologies in music over the past forty years; a period during which virtually every aspect of music was transformed. With this book, Joesph Kerman establishes the place of music study firmly in the mainstream of modern intellectual history. He treats not only the study of the history of Western art music--with which musicology is tradtionally equated--but also sometimes vexed relations between music history and other fields: music theory and analysis, ethnomusicology, and music criticism. Kerman sees and applauds a change in the study of music towarda critical orientation, As examples, he presents a fascinating vignettes of Bach research in the 1950's and Beethoven studies in the 1960's. He sketched the work of prominent scholars and theorists: Thurston Dart, Charles Rosen, Leonard B. Meyer, Heinrich Schenker, Miltion Babbit, and many others. And he comments on such various subjects as the amazing absorption of Stephen Foster's songs into the cannons of black music, the new intensity of Verdi research, controversies about performance on historical instruments, and the merits and demerits of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. Comtemplating Music is fulled with wisdom and trenchant commmentary. It will spark controversy among musicologists of all stripes and will give many musicians and amateurs an entirely new perspective on the world of music.

Book Synopsis The Art of Sukumar Bose by : Venka Purushothaman
Download or read book The Art of Sukumar Bose written by Venka Purushothaman and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2013-11-06 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To commemorate the centenary of artist Sukumar Bose (1912–1986), this book attempts to take an incisive look at the artist, his works and the context of his art production in South and Southeast Asia. Bose’s art varied from the traditional to the decorative and ornamental, with a hint of the Oriental flavour. His work demonstrated traces of the Bengal School styles of Abanindranath Tagore and AR Chugtai. Be it figurative, landscape or abstract, Bose’s art synthesized the decorative elements of Indo-Persian miniatures with Chinese and Japanese techniques. In this context, his vision and passion were inspired by traditional art forms, including Ajanta, Rajput and Mughal miniatures. His incisive observations of life, people and cultures, during colonial and postcolonial India and his later sojourn into Southeast Asia, emerge as both a contested yet seamless narrative of history and hope in his art. This book is the first of its kind to document and give a critical overview of Sukumar Bose.
Book Synopsis Hybrid Culture by : Yvonne Spielmann
Download or read book Hybrid Culture written by Yvonne Spielmann and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the tensions between East and West and digital and analog in Japanese new-media art. This book grew out of Yvonne Spielmann's 2005–2006 and 2009 visits to Japan, where she explored the technological and aesthetic origins of Japanese new-media art—which was known for pioneering interactive and virtual media applications in the 1990s. Spielmann discovered an essential hybridity in Japan's media culture: an internal hybridity, a mixture of digital-analog connections together with a non-Western development of modernity separate from but not immune to Western media aesthetics; and external hybridity, produced by the international, transcultural travel of aesthetic concepts. Spielmann describes the innovative technology context in Japan, in which developers, engineers, and artists collaborate, and traces the Japanese fondness for precision and functionality to the poetics of unobtrusiveness and detail. She examines work by artists including Masaki Fujihata, whose art is both formally and thematically hybrid; Seiko Mikami and Sota Ichikawa, who build special devices for a new sense of human-machine interaction; Toshio Iwai, who connects traditional media forms with computing; and Tatsuo Miyajima, who anchors his LED artwork in Buddhist philosophy. Spielmann views hybridity as a positive aesthetic value—perhaps the defining aesthetic of a global culture. Hybridity offers a conceptual approach for considering the ambivalent linkages of contradictory elements; its dynamic and fluid characteristics are neither conclusive nor categorical but are meant to stimulate fusions.
