Shiny Things : Decoration as tool and function whilst revaluating notions of good and bad taste

Berner Wik, Tove January 2019 (has links)
This work is an investigation of how to redefine the perception of decoration. Decorative elements are reinvented as fundamental tools for creating garments and form in a collection of nine outfits. To show the width of what embellishment is able to create, the decorative techniques of all garments are different. The work also deals with the question of taste when it comes to embellishment. By using decorations seen as tasteless the work revaluates notions of good and bad taste. Materials as sport fabric combined with embellishment trick the eye and all small decorations together form new materials. New ways to use embellishments are explored, and the time consuming techniques are reminiscent of haute couture techniques, but in the designer’s own way.

[en] THE CHAMELEON BEFORE THE RAIBOW THE DEGENATION OF TOSTE IN NELSON RODRIGUES / [pt] O CAMALEÃO DIANTE DO ARCO-ÍRIS A DENEGAÇÃO DO MAU GOSTO EM NELSON RODRIGUES

JOSE CARVALHO DE AZEVEDO 26 February 2003 (has links)
[pt] Nelson Rodrigues, por diversas vezes, se pronunciou favorável à restauração do mau gosto na obra de arte, fazendo com que críticos, jornalistas, e por conseqüência, a opinião pública em geral, o vissem enquanto fruidor do Kitsch. Porém, na medida em que invadimos a sua obra, onde destacamos a leitura do romance - O casamento -,percebemos que Nelson se apropria das faculdades do Kitsch de uma forma muito particular, para não dizê-lo especial. Colocar em exposição os princípios que regem tal operação - kitschizante - é o nosso objetivo. / [en] Nelson Rodrigues, in many ocasions, pronounced himself favorable to the restoration of bad taste in the work of art, leading critics, journalists and, consequently, the public opinion in general, to seing himself as partaking in the Kitsch movement. Nevertheless, as we invade his work, in which highlight the reading of the romance - O casamento -, we notice that Nelson apropriates the qualities of Kitsch in a very particular fashion, not to say it special. To expose the principles that rule such - kitsching - operation is our subjective.

Dirty Geometry : Searching for a queer architecture in Stockholm city / Dirty Geometry : Sökandet efter en queer arkitektur i Stockholm city

Söderman, Viktoria January 2018 (has links)
For whom do we draw buildings? Why does contemporary architecture look the way it does?Why are certain aesthetics considered more valid than others? With this project, I propose Dirty Geometry: norm-bending design that could challenge conventions within the field of architecture. It is an investigation of concepts such as ugliness, beauty, architecture and the human body, interiority, femininity and ”bad taste”. The purpose is to, with the aid of parametric design processes, make Stockholm less boring and more dirty. Dirty Geometry is both the creative process sprung from one’s personal desires, and the resulting design. It aims to celebrate the weird, playful and colorful in an empowering way. This thesis project draws a lot of inspiration from camp aesthetics and drag culture, because of the way humour is used in a subversive way to question gender identities, power structures and norms.
