A modernist sensibility and Christian wit in the work of Tom GibbonsMcNamara, Phillip Anthony January 2006 (has links)
This thesis is an investigation of how spiritual ideas have contributed to West Australian academic and artist Tom Gibbons’s approach to Modernism. Against the backdrop of the local context I show how Gibbons’s 1950s undergraduate and 1960s post-graduate studies in the area of the occult and esoteric influences on Early Modernism provided him with an atypical perspective on Modernism itself but that this perspective resulted in his development of a Modernist sensibility particularly suitable for the type of questions asked about art in the later part of last century. My thesis traces Gibbons’s development of an integrated aesthetic “theory” that bridged for him the gap between a host of contrary sources. For Gibbons the bridge between divergent views on art, from the Modern period to the Renaissance period, is an ahistorical perspective based on Christian Immanence. He thus adopted a perspective that redefined the metaphysical aspects of Modernist abstraction through a particular approach to realism which celebrates the everyday world because of the Christian structures that for him condition it. I argue that his sensibility, which combines the stylistic features of a Modernist literature witty juxtaposition, irony and paradox with the concept of Christian Immanence, resulted in an oeuvre which can be read as a particular example of what Ken Wilber in the late 1990s termed Integral Studies. I argue that underlying Gibbons’s use of Christian Immanence is the Integralist’s understanding that the world’s great philosophical and spiritual traditions approach consciousness and experience through similar ideas. The argument presented, in agreement with writers such as Wilber, is that Gibbons’s capacity to develop a sense of life’s irony and metaphor, and to then use this as a capacity to embrace the beauty and outrageousness of the whole, is a mature spirituality that provides an integrated perspective filled with joy for the ordinary. I conclude that his art provides a particular example of how the loss of meaning felt by Modernists may be addressed.

Relating to relational aestheticsLindley, Anne Hollinger 09 1900 (has links)
This thesis will examine the practice of relational aesthetics as it involves the viewer, as well as the way in which it plays out within and outside of the institutional setting of the museum. I will focus primarily on two unique projects: that of The Machine Project Field Guide at Los Angeles County Museum of Art on November 15, 2008, produced by Machine Project, a social project operated out of a storefront gallery in Echo Park; and David Michalek's Slow Dancing at the Lincoln Center Festival in New York City, July 12-29 2007.

"Museum spaces in post-apartheid South Africa": the Durban Art Gallery as a case studyBrown, Carol January 2006 (has links)
This dissertation examines the history of the Durban Art Gallery from its founding in 1892 until 2004, a decade after the First Democratic Election. While the emphasis is on significant changes that were introduced in the post-1994 period, the earlier section of the study locates these initiatives within a broad historical framework. The collecting policies of the museum as well as its exhibitions and programmes are considered in the light of the institution 's changing social and political context as well as shifting imperatives within a local, regional and national art world. The Durban Art Gallery was established in order to promote a European, and particularly British, culture, and the acquisition and appreciation of art was considered an important element in the formation of a stable society. By providing a broad overview of the early years of the gallery, I identify reasons for the choice of acquisitions and explore the impact and reception of a selection of exhibitions. I investigate changes during the 1960s and 1970s through an examination of the Art South Africa Today exhibitions: in addition to opening up institutional spaces to a racially mixed community, these exhibitions marked the beginning of an imperative to show protest art. I argue that, during the political climate of the 1980s, there was a tension in the cultural arena between, on the one hand, a motivation to retain a Western ideal of 'high art' and, on the other, a drive to accommodate the new forms of people's art and to challenge the values and ideological standpoints that had been instrumental in shaping collecting and exhibiting policies in the South African art arena. I explore this tension through a discussion of the Cape Town Triennial exhibitions, organised jointly by all the official museums, which ran alongside more inclusive and independently curated exhibitions, such as Tributaries, which were shown mainly outside the country. The post-1994 period marked an opening up of spaces, both literally and conceptually. This openness was manifest in the revised strategies that were introduced to show the Durban Art Gallery 's permanent collection as well as in two key public projects that were started - Red Eye @rt and the AIDS 2000 ribbon. Through an examination of these strategies and initiatives, I argue that the central role of the Durban Art Gallery has shifted from being a repository to providing an interactive public space.

What defines a good work of art within the contemporary art word? theories, practices and institutionsVekony-Harper, Delia 06 1900 (has links)
The dissertation explores how quality-judgments on works of art are created within the contemporary art world. The research starts with the examination of modernist art theories supported by the museum, and continues with the exploration of the impact of the art market on quality-judgments. Although the art market had already distorted the idea of quality, further contradictions and difficulties have risen within judgment-making after the 1960s due to the dematerialisation of the work of art. Art criticism should have been able to deal with this complexity, but it is demonstrated that art criticism is a subjective field and even if there is a universal theory on quality, it often fails when applied to the particular work of art. Throughout the dissertation it is demonstrated that although ‘good art’ is a subjective, power- and discourse-dependent concept, all art professionals seek something that is an inherent quality of the artwork. However, regardless of the existence of such inherent value, judgments on quality are constructed by and subjected to power-struggle. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (Art History)

alves_fc_me_ia.pdf: 949904 bytes, checksum: 1884eb7f0cf21d91bbf6cff87dd06d2f (MD5) / Esta dissertação investiga a noção de arte moderna presente na reflexão estética do filósofo Maurice Merleau-Ponty, partindo da hipótese de que tal noção está inclusa na meditação sobre as indivisibilidades entre a relação homem, natureza e expressão artística. Apresenta a concepção de arte e arte moderna concomitantemente à trajetória e ao discurso filosófico de Merleau-Ponty. Discorre sobre a tese do filósofo acerca do retorno ao mundo percebido, as indivisibilidades, o corpo vidente e visível, o sensível, a carne do mundo, a pintura, o Ser bruto, a Natureza, logos e a expressão. A partir desses temas, foram desenvolvidas leituras sobre os seguintes textos para dimensionar essa noção de arte moderna: “A dúvida de Cézanne”, “A expressão e o desenho infantil”, “A linguagem indireta”, “A linguagem indireta e as vozes do silêncio” e “O olho e o espírito”. Para compreender o pensamento de Merleau- Ponty aproximamos suas ideias a várias teorias da história e da filosofia da arte, a partir dos temas: o espírito moderno, as correspondências, a representação e a expressão. Por fim, destaca os principais valores e ideias que compõem a noção de arte moderna em Merleau- Ponty. / This work investigates the notion of modern art in this aesthetic reflection of philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, on the hypothesis that such a notion is included in the meditation about the indivisibilities on the relationship between man, nature and artistic expression. It presents the concept of art and modern art concomitantly to the trajectory and the philosophical discourse of Merleau-Ponty. This work also discuss the thesis of the philosopher about returning to the perceived world, the indivisibilities, the visible and invisible body, the sensitive, flesh of world, the painting, the Being, the Nature, the logos and the expression. On the themes, the following texts were studied to investigate the author’s notion of modern art: “Cézanne’s Doubt”, “Expression and the child’s drawing”, “The indirect language”, “The indirect language and the voices of silence” “Eye and mind”. To comprehend Merleu-Ponty’s ideas, his thought was related with various History and Art Philosophy theories, under the following themes: the modern mind, correspondence, representation and expression. At last, this work emphasizes the core values and ideas that make up the notion of modern art of Merleau-Ponty.

A construção cultural da fotografia como discurso na arte contemporâneaSouza, Fernando Artur de 01 July 2013 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta uma discussão acerca de relações estabelecidas entre a fotografia e a arte contemporânea, a partir de um viés em que a produção artística dialoga com a produção fotográfica de âmbito familiar. A fotografia é assumida como um processo mediador culturalmente construído, levando em conta aspectos de sua conformação tecnológica, bem como de seus usos sociais, ambas dimensões consideradas preponderantes para a produção de significado para estas imagens. Para estabelecer estas relações através de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, o texto busca integrar pontos de vista de áreas do conhecimento que contribuíram para um entendimento mais complexo da fotografia em seu diálogo com a sociedade, com a tecnologia, com a história e com as artes visuais. Finalmente, elencamos algumas obras dos artistas contemporâneos Nan Goldin, Rosângela Rennó e Sascha Pohflepp que evidenciam estas relações entre as artes visuais e os instantâneos do cotidiano familiar, seja através da imagem fotográfica, da materialidade da fotografia ou dos novos circuitos de circulação e novas práticas oriundas das tecnologias digitais. / This work presents a discussion of relations between photography and contemporary art, where the artistic production dialogue with the photography in the family field. the photograph is assumed as a mediating process culturally constructed, taking into account its technological aspects, as well as their social uses, both dimensions considered preponderant for the production of meaning to these images. to establish these relationships through an interdisciplinary perspective, the text seeks to integrate views of areas of knowledge that contributed towards a more complex comprehension of photography in his dialogue with society, with the technology, with the history and the visual arts. finally, we list some works of contemporary artists nan goldin, rosangela rennó and sascha pohflepp that demonstrate these relationships between the visual arts and snapshots of daily family life, either through the photographic image, the materiality of the photograph or the new circuits and new practices coming of digital technologies.

Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: A pesquisa Entre Mapas, Entre Espaços: Itinerários Abertos consiste no mapeamento de minha produção plástica no período entre o início de 2008 e o início de 2010. É formada por quatro livros de artista intitulados Lugares Imaginários I, II, III e IV e Espaços Afluentes, composto por dezoito imagens digitais divididas entre as séries Rotas Imaginárias, São Paulo, Intersecções I, Paisagens Mapeadas, UnHorizont e Paisagem Oceânica. Ambos partilham o mesmo campo de investigações, composto de três eixos norteadores que sustentam pensamento e processo criativo. O primeiro destes eixos trata de TranSituAções, conceito que abrange as diferentes maneiras de conceber espaço e lugar, apresentado a partir da reflexão de autores que discutiram este tema. O segundo eixo estrutura a proposição Espaços Empilhados, tratados a partir da definição do virtual segundo Pierre Lévy e do conceito de remix cunhado por Lev Manovich e citado, por sua vez, por autores brasileiros que destrincharam o assunto, como André Lemos e Marcus Bastos. O terceiro e último eixo aborda a questão dos mapas, sendo que a primeira parte compreende uma breve história da cartografia com seu surgimento e características específicas; e a segunda parte consiste na investigação dos mapas deturpados, ou seja, como alguns escritores, artistas e cineastas fizeram uso dos mapas convencionais, tirando deles a função utilitária de localização em relação ao lugar físico. O corpo prático reflexivo aqui apresentado pretende situar meus trabalhos dentro de questionamentos pertinentes ao nosso tempo, e inserir tal pesquisa como resultado de uma investigação que não se encerra, mas continua infinitamente / Abstract: The research Among Maps, Among Spaces: Open Itineraries consists in mapping my artistic practice from the beginning of 2008 until the beginning of 2010. It is composed of four artist's books entitled Imaginary Places I, II, III, and IV, and Affluent Spaces, composed of eighteen digital images divided in the series Imaginary Routes, São Paulo, Intersections I, Mapped Landscapes, UnHorizont, and Oceanic Landscape. Both works share the same investigations, composed of three guiding axes that support thoughts and the creative process. The first axis approaches TranSituActions, a concept that comprises different ways of conceiving space and place, presented from the reflection of authors that investigate this theme. The second axis structures the proposition Heaped Spaces, treated from the definition of virtual according to Pierre Lévy and the concept of remix, coined by Lev Manovich and cited by Brazilian authors that explained the subject, like André Lemos e Marcus Bastos. The last axis approaches the question of maps: the first part comprehends a brief history of cartography with its appearance and specific characteristics and the second one consists of investigating the corrupted maps, that is, how some writers, artists and filmmakers used conventional maps, extracting from them the utilitarian function of localization in relation to a geographic place. The practical-reflexive body presented here intends to place my works inside relevant questions to our time, and introduce such research as a result of an investigation that does not close but continues infinitely / Mestrado / Artes / Mestre em Artes
