Iris Clert (1918-1986) est une figure emblématique du monde de l'art contemporain parisien de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, et plus particulièrement des années 1960. L'histoire de l'art semble n’avoir retenu que des bribes de son existence et de la galerie d'art contemporain qu'elle dirigea à Paris de 1956 à 1982. En effet, sa postérité repose exclusivement sur la place considérable qu'elle a tenue dans la promotion de l’oeuvre d'Yves Klein et dans l'émergence du groupe d'artistes des Nouveaux-Réalistes. Pourtant, Iris Clert n’est-elle pas la première galeriste à avoir proposé au public parisien des oeuvresd’Ad Reinhardt, Lucio Fontana et Leon Golub ? Puis, à force de renouveler et de transgresser les méthodes et pratiques habituellement assignées à sa profession, Iris Clert n’annonce-t-elle pas l’élan pris par l’art vers la participation et l'événementiel ? N’est-elle pas à l’origine de véritables politiques culturelles ? N’a-t-elle pas été elle-même une artiste ? Aussi, à force de se raconter et de s'identifier à l'art, n’a-t-elle pas tenté de se construire une mythologie personnelle, afin d’apparaître telle l’œuvre de sa galerie ? Faire de l’art une attitude de vie, provoquer, scandaliser, formuler des revendications ambiguës, se jouer des normes, se fier à son instinct plus qu'à la raison, être partout sans limites… voici les ambitions d’Iris Clert, elle qui affirmait en 1975 : « J’ai un destin, je suis la messagère des dieux, donc des artistes ! » / Iris Clert (1918-1986) is a key figure in the world of the Parisian contemporary art of the sixties. Art history seems to have only kept recollection of fragments of her life and of the contemporary art gallery she ran in Paris from 1956 to 1982. Her posterity is only based on the significant part she played in promoting Yves Klein’s art and New Realism artists.Though, isn’t Iris Clert the first gallery owner who introduced the Parisian audience with Ad Reinhardt, Lucio Fontana and Leon Golub’s art? By keeping reinventing and breaking the usual methods and habits of her field, she anticipates the impulse of art towards participation and events. Wasn’t she the spearhead of a true cultural policy and an actual artist herself? She then tried to build her own mythology by keeping identifying herself with art, to appear as the very work of her gallery. Iris Clert showed her ambitions by making art a way to conduct her life, acting in a provocative and outrageous way, expressing ambiguous demands, defying standards, trusting her instinct over her mind, and being unrestrictedly everywhere. Ambitions which made her say in 1975: “I have a destiny, I am the messenger of the gods, hence of artists”.

The work deals with finding the position of the gallery / museum education in art education for children with special educational needs. The first part is devoted to the theoretical background of the topic, explains the basic terms (visual literacy, gallery / museum education). A substantial part is devoted to research in the field of the gallery / museum education in art education for children with special educational needs. The survey has a qualitative charakter and trying to describe possibilities and limits of children with disabilities in the gallery programs. At the same time provides essential findings on the form of art education in concrete school achieved through an analysis of the relevant curriculum documents and interviews with teachers. For the processing of the acquired data are used qualitative research methods. The work aims to identify a design of concrete the relevant curriculum document. Art of the work takes the form of educational materials.

Kopřivnice as a town that is waking up from the past. There are many places with a potential to be a quality place for a culture, bussines or housing. The project is located near the centre of Kopřivnice, where is a suitable place for the Creative centre. The design uses the potential of old industrial factory halls, which are given new functions of use. The Creative centre as a place for a culture, education, creating and also for fun. The centre with an art gallery, cafe, offices, workshop and place for freetime activity.

The E. B. Crocker Art Gallery of Sacramento is the oldest public art museum in the West. The author of this study, a Sacramentan, has long been interested in the history of this institution, how was the collection assembled? What is its value? How did it come to Sacramento? What is the nature of the California museum Association which is the custodian of the collection, This paper is an attempt to answer these questions. The answers are not as complete as the author might wish, but they are as complete as extant records and accounts allow. This study provides a more accurate history of the collection and the gallery than has sometimes been given in previous accounts. A review of past recommendations of authoritative persons acquainted with the institution is also given in order to present an idea of its future possibilities.

This thesis examines how techniques from place marketing, developed to market places, can be used in the process of designing a visual identity for an institution. The thesis is a case study of the development of a new visual identity for the public art institution Malmö konsthall. The essay presents Malmö Konsthall, defines the term visual identity and describes the main principles in place branding. I then define target audiences and key values, discuss the application of place marketing principle and go through the design process of the new visual identity. The process showed that theories about flagship buildings, signature design and signature districts have the biggest influence on the design. The conclusion is that theories from place marketing can be valuable tools for graphic designers, and would benefit from being explored further. Several strategies in place marketing function, mainly those relating to environment and architecture, can be of direct benefit to the designer.

Uppsatsen undersöker retoriken runt konst på fyra konstverksamheters hemsidor. Konsthallarna och gallerierna som undersöks är alla belägna på landsbygden eller i mindre samhällen i Sverige. Dessa är Bjurbäcks konsthall, Virserums konsthall, Neon Gallery samt Galleri Astley. De frågor som ställs till materialet är: Vilken konst är det som presenteras och hur lyfts den fram? Vilka retoriska medel använder man sig av, och vem vänder man sig till? I vilka sammanhang presenteras konst? Vilken relation och vilket synsätt till konst förmedlas? Vilken relation till platsen och miljön där konsthallen och galleriet är belägen förmedlas? För att undersöka hur konstverksamheternas retorik är upplagd på hemsidorna har framförallt de klassiska begreppen ethos, logos och pathos fungerat som analysverktyg så som de används i metoden retorikanalys. Retorikanalys menar Brigitte Mral är en användbar metod som kan hjälpa oss att försöka förstå och tolka budskap. Hur bilder och design på olika sätt samspelar med texten har också varit viktigt att undersöka. Den redovisade analystexten i uppsatsen visar på samband mellan bild- och textretorik och hur dessa tillsammans bildar en gemensam retorik. Teorier som används i uppsatsen ger perspektiv på begreppet konst. Förutom filosofiska definitionsförsök av vad konst är eller kan vara, presenteras här föreställningar om konst i relation till tre områden: företag, teknologi och media. Ytterligare en teoretisk ingång som tolkats som relevant i uppsatsen, är att se på den lokala platsen i relation till nationen, EU och den globala världen. Resultatet i uppsatsen visar att de fyra konstverksamheterna valt olika sätt att marknadsföra konst på sina respektive hemsidor, men trots detta är retoriken för samtidskonst ofta ganska traditionell. Hemsidan kan uppfattas som en kombinerad informations- och marknadsföringskanal. Den måste kunna fungera för olika målgrupper, såsom samarbetspartners, finansiärer, skolor, med mera. Detta är något som problematiseras i uppsatsen. / The essay examines the rhetoric around art on four art galleries´ homepages. The art galleries that are examined are all located on the countryside or in smaller towns in Sweden. With their Swedish names the examined objects are the following: Bjurbäcks konsthall, Virserums konsthall, Neon Gallery and Galleri Astley. The questions that are set to the material are: What kind of art is presented and how is it conveyed? Which rhetorical instruments are used and which target groups do they aim at? In which context is art presented? Which relation to art and which perspective on art is mediated? Which relation to the site and the environment where the art galleries are located is conveyed? The classical concepts ethos, logos and pathos - as they are used in Rhetorical analysis - have been used as instruments to investigate how the rhetoric about art is applied. Brigitte Mral means that Rhetorical analysis is a useful method to help us understand and interpret messages. How pictures and design in different ways interplay with the text, has also been important to investigate. The presented analysis in the essay shows the connections between text- and visual rhetoric, and how these elements together form a common rhetoric. Theories that are used in the essay give perspectives on the concept of art. Definitions about what art can be are presented mainly from a philosophical perspective. But the idea of art is also presented in relation to three other spheres such as companies, technology and the media. Another theoretical input interpreted as relevant in the essay, is the perspective on the local place in relation to the nation, EU and the global world. The result in the essay shows that the four art galleries have chosen different ways to market art on their respective homepages. Despite this is the rhetoric on contemporary art mainly traditional. The homepage can be considered as a combined information- and marketing channel. It must function for different target groups such as collaborative partners, financiers, schools, etc. This is examined and discussed in the essay.

This dissertation initially attempts a brief history of the landscape tradition in the West with the emphasis on developments in nineteenth-century French landscape painting. A collection of these paintings in the Tatham Art Gallery is then closely examined in the light of the socio-political circumstances that influenced their origins and acquisition. Finally a full catalogue of the paintings is presented with digital images and documentation. / Thesis (M.A.F.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.
