Book Synopsis Konzeptionen zeitgenössischer Kunst by : Hans Dickel
Download or read book Konzeptionen zeitgenössischer Kunst written by Hans Dickel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exhibitions of contemporary art have always confounded their viewers. By showing works that justifiably claim 'contemporaneity', they challenge us to rethink the traditional expectations of art. Hans Dickel presents the rapidly changing concepts of art since 1900 in their philosophical and socio-historical context. Using relevant art-theoretical source texts, the respective innovations in the concept of art are elucidated chronologically. The publication’s descriptions and analyses make it well-suited to all those interested in art. By characterising the various definitions of contemporary art, the aim is to reveal the diversity of artistic production and changing trends during the 20th and 21st centuries.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Perspectives on Art and International Development by : Polly Stupples
Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Art and International Development written by Polly Stupples and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual artists, craftspeople, musicians, and performers have been supported by the development community for at least twenty years, yet there has been little grounded and critical research into the practices and politics of that support. This new Routledge book remedies that omission and brings together varied perspectives from artists, policy-makers, and researchers working in the Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and Europe to explore the challenges and opportunities of supporting the arts in the development context. The book offers a series of grounded analyses which cover: strategies for the sustainability of arts enterprises; innovative evaluation methods; theoretical engagements with questions of art, agency, and social change; artists’ entanglements with legal and structural frameworks; processes of cultural mapping; and the artist/donor interface. The creative economy is increasingly recognized as a driver of development and this book also investigates the contribution made by the arts to the processes of international development, and considers how those processes can best be supported by development agencies. Contemporary Perspectives on Art and International Development gives scholars of Development Studies, Social and Cultural Geography, Anthropology, Cultural Policy, Cultural Studies, and Global Studies a contextually and thematically diverse range of insights into this emerging research field.
Book Synopsis Ambiguity in Contemporary Art and Theory by : Frauke Berndt
Download or read book Ambiguity in Contemporary Art and Theory written by Frauke Berndt and published by Felix Meiner Verlag. This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become commonplace to associate art and aesthetic experience with the category of ambiguity. Indeed, when we talk about art, we cannot do without the dynamic force of ambiguity just as the aesthetic itself cannot do without it. The great efforts to disambiguate aesthetic practices and their associated theories and contexts would eliminate art's unique ability to reshape our knowledge of the world, our sensory encounters with it, and our moral or political positions in it. The essays collected in this volume present different perspectives on this central category and develop interdisciplinary connections. Contributors include Frauke Berndt, Joy H. Calico, Stephan Kammer, Lutz Koepnick, Verena Krieger, Richard Langston, Rachel Mader, Lily Tonger-Erk, Gabriel Trop, and Thomas Wortmann.
Book Synopsis What Is Contemporary Art? by : Terry Smith
Download or read book What Is Contemporary Art? written by Terry Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who gets to say what counts as contemporary art? Artists, critics, curators, gallerists, auctioneers, collectors, or the public? Revealing how all of these groups have shaped today’s multifaceted definition, Terry Smith brilliantly shows that an historical approach offers the best answer to the question: What is Contemporary Art? Smith argues that the most recognizable kind is characterized by a return to mainstream modernism in the work of such artists as Richard Serra and Gerhard Richter, as well as the retro-sensationalism of figures like Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami. At the same time, Smith reveals, postcolonial artists are engaged in a different kind of practice: one that builds on local concerns and tackles questions of identity, history, and globalization. A younger generation embodies yet a third approach to contemporaneity by investigating time, place, mediation, and ethics through small-scale, closely connective art making. Inviting readers into these diverse yet overlapping art worlds, Smith offers a behind-the-scenes introduction to the institutions, the personalities, the biennials, and of course the works that together are defining the contemporary. The resulting map of where art is now illuminates not only where it has been but also where it is going.
Book Synopsis The Developing Performance Art System of Yingmei Duan 2014-2024 by : Kuck, Jürgen Bernhard

This book was released on with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Yingmei Duan“ ist das zentrale Medium von Yingmei Duans Performancekunst: ihre Präsenz, ihr Körper und ihre Identität; die Emotionen in ihrem Herzen, die Neugier in ihren Augen und die Lieder auf ihren Lippen. Sie verwandelt Räume und Objekte in Erweiterungen ihrer selbst. In ihre Werke einzutreten bedeutet, in die Welt von Yingmei Duan einzutreten, in der wir erkennen, dass Kunst kein Privileg ist, sondern ein Wert, der durch gleichberechtigte Zusammenarbeit und Kommunikation geschaffen werden kann. - Li Qi “Yingmei Duan” is the primary medium of Yingmei Duan's performance art: her presence, her body, and her identity; the emotions in her heart, the curiosity in her eyes, and the songs on her lips. She transforms space and objects into extensions of herself. Entering her works means entering the world of Yingmei Duan, where we realise that art is not a privilege, but a value that can be created through equal collaboration and communication. - Li Qi “段英梅”是段英梅行为艺术的首要媒介：她的在场、她的身体、她的身份，她内心的情感，她眼里的好奇，她口中的歌 声。她让空间与物件成为她的化身——进入她的作品，就是进入段英梅的世界。她的世界让我们意识到，艺术不是一种特 权，而是一种可以在平等合作与交流分享中创造的价值。 —— 李棋

Book Synopsis Absence and Difficult Knowledge in Contemporary Art Museums by : Margaret Tali
Download or read book Absence and Difficult Knowledge in Contemporary Art Museums written by Margaret Tali and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes practices of collecting in European art museums from 1989 to the present, arguing that museums actualize absence both consciously and unconsciously, while misrepresentation is an outcome of the absent perspectives and voices of minority community members which are rarely considered in relation to contemporary art. Difficult knowledge is proposed as a way of dealing with absence productively. Drawing on social art history, museology, postcolonial theory, and memory studies, Margaret Tali analyzes the collections of four modern and contemporary art museums across Europe: the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art in Budapest, the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki, and the Kumu Museum in Tallinn.
Book Synopsis The Aesthetics of Matter by : Sarah Posman
Download or read book The Aesthetics of Matter written by Sarah Posman and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often been argued that the arrival of the early-20th-century avant-gardes and modernisms coincided with an in-depth exploration of the materiality of art and writing. The European historical avant-gardes and modernisms excelled in their attempts to establish the specificity of media and art forms as well as in experimenting with the hybridity of the materials of their multiple disciplines. This third volume of the series European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies sheds light on the full range and import of this aspect in avant-garde and modernist aesthetics across all art forms and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The book’s contributions, written by experts from some 20 countries, seek to answer the following questions: What sort of objects and material, works and media help us to properly grasp the avant-garde and modernist “aesthetics of matter”? How were affects, emotions and sensory and bodily experiences transferred and transformed in the experiment with matter? How were “immaterial” things such as concepts of time changed in this aesthetic moment? What “material meanings” were disseminated in the cultural transfer and translation of objects? How did subsequent avant-gardes deal with the “aesthetics of matter” in their response to historical predecessors?
Download or read book Virtual Images written by Lars C. Grabbe and published by Büchner-Verlag. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common boundaries between the physical reality and rising digital media technologies are fading. The age of hyper-reality becomes an age of hyper-aesthetics. Immersive media as well as image technologies – like virtual reality – enable a completely novel form of interaction and corporeal relation to and with the virtual image structures. ›VR Images‹ contributes to the wide range of the hyper-aesthetic image discourse to connect the concept of dynamic virtual images with the approaches in modern media theory, philosophy, perceptual theory, aesthetics, computer graphics, art history and techno-art as well as the complex range of image science. Shared goal is a critical discussion of the specific epistemology of aesthetic and scientific approaches to VR. This volume discusses the relation of images and technological evolution in the context of virtual reality within the perspective of an autonomous image science.
Book Synopsis Conceptual Art by : Alexander Alberro
Download or read book Conceptual Art written by Alexander Alberro and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000-08-25 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the conceptual art movement. Compared to other avant-garde movements that emerged in the 1960s, conceptual art has received relatively little serious attention by art historians and critics of the past twenty-five years—in part because of the difficult, intellectual nature of the art. This lack of attention is particularly striking given the tremendous influence of conceptual art on the art of the last fifteen years, on critical discussion surrounding postmodernism, and on the use of theory by artists, curators, critics, and historians. This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the movement. It also contains more recent memoirs by participants, as well as critical histories of the period by some of today's leading artists and art historians. Many of the essays and artists' statements have been translated into English specifically for this volume. A good portion of the exchange between artists, critics, and theorists took place in difficult-to-find limited-edition catalogs, small journals, and private correspondence. These influential documents are gathered here for the first time, along with a number of previously unpublished essays and interviews. Contributors Alexander Alberro, Art & Language, Terry Atkinson, Michael Baldwin, Robert Barry, Gregory Battcock, Mel Bochner, Sigmund Bode, Georges Boudaille, Marcel Broodthaers, Benjamin Buchloh, Daniel Buren, Victor Burgin, Ian Burn, Jack Burnham, Luis Camnitzer, John Chandler, Sarah Charlesworth, Michel Claura, Jean Clay, Michael Corris, Eduardo Costa, Thomas Crow, Hanne Darboven, Raúl Escari, Piero Gilardi, Dan Graham, Maria Teresa Gramuglio, Hans Haacke, Charles Harrison, Roberto Jacoby, Mary Kelly, Joseph Kosuth, Max Kozloff, Christine Kozlov, Sol LeWitt, Lucy Lippard, Lee Lozano, Kynaston McShine, Cildo Meireles, Catherine Millet, Olivier Mosset, John Murphy, Hélio Oiticica, Michel Parmentier, Adrian Piper, Yvonne Rainer, Mari Carmen Ramirez, Nicolas Rosa, Harold Rosenberg, Martha Rosler, Allan Sekula, Jeanne Siegel, Seth Siegelaub, Terry Smith, Robert Smithson, Athena Tacha Spear, Blake Stimson, Niele Toroni, Mierle Ukeles, Jeff Wall, Rolf Wedewer, Ian Wilson

Book Synopsis Art History and Visual Studies in Europe by :
Download or read book Art History and Visual Studies in Europe written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflection on the history and practice of art history has long been a major topic of research and scholarship, and this volume builds on this tradition by offering a critical survey of many of the major developments in the contemporary discipline, such as the impact of digital technologies, the rise of visual studies or new initiatives in conservation theory and practice. Alongside these methodological issues this book addresses the mostly neglected question of the impact of national contexts on the development of the discipline. Taking a wide range of case studies, this book examines the impact of the specific national political, institutional and ideological demands on the practice of art history. The result is an account that both draws out common features and also highlights the differences and the plurality of practices that together constitute art history as a discipline.

Book Synopsis Missing Links by : Jonneke Bekkenkamp
Download or read book Missing Links written by Jonneke Bekkenkamp and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2000 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there "missing links", links that are "easy to miss" between art and religion and between the ways in which they respond to or partake of reality? The hypothesis of this anthology is that these in fact do exist and its authors explore these links on the basis of a specific text or oeuvre, a specific artwork or exhibition. Following an introductory essay exploring the discussion on relating art and religion, there are artides on Jannis Kounellis and Andrew Forster, on plays by William Shakespeare, Gerard Jan Rijnders and Anny van Hoof, on an exhibition curated by Julia Kristeva. There is an analysis of a novel by Frederic Buechner and one of the autobiographical writings of Dorothy Day. Poems of M. Vasalis and Judith Herzberg are considered, along with the music of Olivier Messiaen and Plato's dialogue 'Sophist'.

Download or read book Screening Art written by Seán Allan and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With internationalist aspirations and wide-ranging historical perspectives, East German films about artists and their work became hotly contested spaces in which filmmakers could look beyond the GDR and debate the impact of contemporary cultural policy on the reception of their pre-war cultural heritage. Spanning newsreels, documentaries, and feature films, Screening Art is the first full-length investigation into a genre that has been largely overlooked in studies of DEFA, the state-owned Eastern German film studio. As it shows, “artist-films” played an essential role in the development of new paradigms of socialist art in postwar Europe.
