This study examines the artistic output in the diocese of Grosseto, which was part of Sienese controlled territories in Medieval and Renaissance times, and sheds light on the artists who worked there, the works that they produced, the purpose of these works and the way that these were shaped by local patrons, popular beliefs and long- standing traditions. It encompasses a period in the history of Siena that starts in c. 1380 with the political turmoil that followed the fall of the government of the Nine in 1355, and ends in c. 1480, around the time of Pandolfo Petrucci’s exile from the city. A contextualized overview of the activity of artists from Siena and beyond, such as Matteo di Giovanni, Sassetta, Vecchietta Francesco di Giorgio, Giovanni da Ponte and Andrea Guardi in the diocese of Grosseto is provided by means of visual examination and new documentary evidence. Relevant case studies offer a new perspective on the development of local visual imagery, the style and iconography of panel paintings, sculptures and fresco cycles and how these related to local devotional practices and patronage. The study shows that the development of independent taste in commissioning and acquiring artworks transcended geographical boundaries and political influence, and that original developments took place alongside the imitation of imported models. This research contributes to a new understanding of the relationship between Siena and Grosseto and proposes that notwithstanding Sienese influence, other cultural models were available, and that these were adapted to suit local requirements. A thorough investigation of local patronage establishes that this involved civic, religious and lay sources and that these shaped civic rituals and devotional responses to the cult of patron saints. It brings to light a vivid, yet complex image whereby all the realms of society interacted and benefitted from cultural exchange.

Das Projekt „Kunst und Kultur in der polarisierten Stadt“ (KupoS) nahm die in den letzten Jahren offenbar werdenden gesamtgesellschaftlichen Polarisierungstendenzen zum Anlass, um die Rolle von Kunst und Kultur im gesellschaftlichen Verständigungsprozess zu untersuchen. Die Stadt Dresden wurde im Sinne eines 'Polarisierungslabors' ins Zentrum der Analyse gerückt, weil sich hier medial verstärkte Prozesse des Übergangs von individuellem Benachteiligungserleben zu kollektivem öffentlichen Protest in verdichteter Form realisiert und in antagonistische Positionen zum Zusammenhang von Herkunft und Zugehörigkeit sedimentiert haben. In einem methodenpluralen Forschungsdesign wurden erstens mögliche Veränderungen in den Kooperationsstrukturen und der Themensetzung im Längsschnitt anhand ausgewählter Ereignisse und Veranstaltungsreihen in der Zeit von 2014 – 2017 untersucht. Zweitens wurde am Beispiel der Ausstellung „Rassismus. Die Erfindung von Menschenrassen“ im Deut-schem Hygienemuseum Dresden (DHMD) der institutionelle Umgang mit konfliktträchtigen Themen sowie die wechselseitige Beeinflussung von künstlerisch-kulturellem Handeln und konkurrierenden Diskursposition innerhalb der Stadtgesell-schaft untersucht. Die vorliegende Studie trägt dazu bei, Funktionslogiken und -dynamiken von Polarisierung im künstlerisch-kulturellen Feld zu verstehen, sowie die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Dialogs auszuloten. Sie beleuchtet zudem die Rolle des Publikums in Polarisierungsprozessen. KupoS leistet damit nicht nur einen empirischen Beitrag zur Bestimmung der Potentiale und Grenzen von Kunst und Kultur als kohäsionsstiftende Vermittlungsinstanzen der Gesellschaft. Die Studie versteht sich auch als Beitrag zur theoretischen Fundierung soziologischer Polarisierungsforschung.:1 Einleitung 5 2 Ziele und Fragestellungen 9 3.

Give yourself through artwork interspersed reflection and theoretical approaches of these exercises plastics. So is contextualized in the exercise of artistic and dialogue between these thinkers and art, the city, the geography and the human condition. Five plastic works were carried out during the research: \"The Imagined City\" triggering situations and contradictory conditions of the real city, from its appearance factual and crisscrossed the spoken it; \"Urban Itineraries\" that causes the viewer from a invitation to meet this city real or imagined. Both were lodged in the public municipal art gallery \"Oficina Cultural\" in Uberlândia. As an outcome of the research were also carried out two urban interventions: \"Artist Lunch (who is the owner of the square?)\" Action that held the square Colonel Virgilio Rodrigues da Cunha, discussing the relationship between what is public and what is private in the city, and \"Turning Point\" conducted in two districts of Uberlandia, a look back to the equipment and appliances urban, in this case the bus stops from their plates. The fifth, and last work - \"Classifieds\" - was presented at the University Museum of Art (Muna - Uberlândia, MG), triggering a city constantly surrounded by negotiations that include alleged rents its public buildings, political decisions being bartered and other events that also move between the real and the imagined, leaving tracks doubtful situations to exhibition visitors. In the course of the research work feeds the plastic reflection on the theme of the survey, while this reflection also brings support for the preparation of work aligned with the proposal presented here. Acting with artwork in the city and taking the city as a territory of investigation is also exerting a constant negotiation in the sphere of public power through authorizations and desautorizações, issue also addressed by research. / Esta pesquisa de mestrado na linha de pesquisa práticas e processos em artes , tem como proposta olhar e refletir sobre a cidade (Uberlândia, MG) a partir de projetos artísticos, considerando sua aparência física em contraposição às percepções dos usuários do seu espaço urbano, naquilo que observam e naquilo que imaginam e relatam através de suas falas. Procura abordar esta cidade contextualizada e que se mistura à própria dinâmica da vida, de trocas, de poder, de conformação e de anseios. Dá-se através de trabalhos artísticos entremeados à reflexão e abordagens teóricas destes exercícios plásticos. Portanto está contextualizada no exercício do fazer artístico e no diálogo entre estes e pensadores da arte, da cidade, da geografia e da própria condição humana. Cinco trabalhos plásticos foram realizados durante a pesquisa: A Cidade Imaginada deflagrador de situações e condições contraditórias da cidade real, a partir da sua aparência factual e entrecruzada ao que se fala dela; Itinerários Urbanos que provoca o espectador a partir de um convite para ir de encontro a esta cidade real ou imaginada. Ambos foram apresentados na galeria pública municipal de arte Oficina Cultural , em Uberlândia. Como desdobramento da pesquisa também foram realizadas duas intervenções urbanas: Almoço de Artista (a praça é de quem?) , ação esta realizada na praça Coronel Virgílio Rodrigues da Cunha, colocando em discussão as relações entre o que é público e o que é privado na cidade, e Ponto Crítico realizado em dois bairros de Uberlândia, com um olhar voltado aos equipamentos e aparelhos urbanos, neste caso os pontos de ônibus, a partir de suas placas de sinalização. O quinto e último trabalho Classificados foi apresentado no Museu Universitário de Arte (MUnA Uberlândia, MG), deflagrando uma cidade constantemente envolta por negociações que incluem supostos aluguéis de seus prédios públicos, decisões políticas sendo barganhadas e outros acontecimentos que também transitam entre o real e o imaginado, deixando pistas de situações duvidosas aos visitantes da exposição. No transcorrer da pesquisa o trabalho plástico alimenta a reflexão em torno do tema central da pesquisa, e ao mesmo tempo esta reflexão também traz subsídios para a elaboração de trabalhos alinhados com a proposta aqui apresentada. Atuar com trabalhos de arte na cidade e tendo a cidade como território de investigação é também exercer uma constante negociação na esfera do poder público através de autorizações e desautorizações, questão também abordada pela pesquisa. / Mestre em Artes
