1	Paraíso Paradoxal: visões do humano na escultura em cerâmica / Paradoxical Paradise: visions of the human in ceramic sculpture Covolan, Elaine Nunes de Aguiar 21 February 2019 (has links) O presente trabalho em poéticas visuais buscou investigar possibilidades artísticas que evocam um lugar para além-mundo, anseios por plenitude e perfeição, tendo como objeto a escultura em cerâmica. Foi realizada uma produção imagética articulada a partir da prática e subjetividade artística, construindo uma visão de mundo. O imaginário como princípio e vetor encontrou configurações artísticas que apontam para um conjunto de crenças e valores humanos dentro do tema proposto. Este tema, substanciado na expressão Paraíso Paradoxal, inicialmente em estado latente, acabou por explicitar-se ao longo do desenvolvimento deste trabalho, estabelecendo-se ao final como quadro conceitual organizador do conjunto da obra. Durante este processo, os principais avanços metodológicos consistiram em gradualmente acrescentar aos trabalhos em cerâmica outros materiais como o metal, o vidro, penas de pássaro, líquidos, galhos de vime e fibras de algodão, tornando o trabalho mais fecundo e ampliando notavelmente as possibilidades. / The present work in visual poetry sought to investigate artistic possibilities that evoke a place beyond the world, longings for fullness and perfection, having as object the ceramic sculpture. An imagistic production articulated from the practice and artistic subjectivity was built, constructing a worldview. The imaginary as principle and vector found artistic configurations that point to a set of human beliefs and values within the proposed theme. This theme, substantiated in the expression Paradoxical Paradise, initially in a latent state, became explicit throughout the development of this work, establishing itself at the end as a conceptual framework that organizes the work as a whole. During this process, the main methodological advances consisted in gradually adding to the ceramic work other materials such as metal, glass, bird feathers, liquids, wicker twigs and cotton fibers, making the work more fruitful and greatly enhancing possibilities.

2	Det omättliga ögat Ljung, Bo January 2020 (has links) This is a master thesis dealing with reception-theoretical aspects of the 96 meter long photomontage called That day and that grief, created by the Swedish photographer and artist Larseric Vänerlöf. The artwork is situated in the Karlaplan metro-station in Stockholm. The text is an extension of the master thesis that I wrote in 2017-2018, entitled The Cinematic eye. This new essay aims to deepen the understanding of how the photomontage reveals it´s meaning and how it is received by the viewer in the metro context at Karlaplan. Main questions: 1/ What is it in this big photomontage, that makes the viewing travellers, wanting to stay and watch it, even though they are in a hurry towards another place, in another matter? 2/ How does this artwork speak to me and how does it want me to watch it? 3/ What does the photomontage want to tell me? 4/ What does the work represents? Since my study focuses on the imagery and communication-act of the artwork, I find semiotics and reception-theory as the obvious theoretical tools. Part of the interpretation of the image relates to the semiotics of Roland Barthes and his statement that all images are polysemic and ambiguous and that they are culturally and historically conditioned. In my conclusion I discuss and to some extent challenge the mechanism and interaction between literal, denoting information and symbolic connotation in the viewer’s reception. The reception analysis is based on Wofgang Kemps conceptual apparatus formulated in The work of Art and its Beholder (1998), and Peter Gillgrens concept of interartial references. Hans Georg Gadamers view of art as a performative game complements the essays theoretical construction. I use a deductive and systematic interpretive working method. Based on the chosen semiotic and reception theoretical formation and through my questions, I have studied the phenomenology of the photomontage, i.e. as an artistic and linguistic phenomenon. Empathy in site/location, beholder and zeitgeist form the basis of the methodological work.The conclusions of the thesis are radically different from that of my former text from 2017-18. Imagery and symbolic ambiguities and focalics that refuse to reveal the "meaning" and content of the photomontage, activate the viewer in a performative way and creates a highly communicative work, which involves the viewer in the theatrical course. Through a deeper study of the “zeitgeist”, I have also concluded that the collective and political symbols from the 1970s in the work, have lost power and content at the time of the dismantling in 1982. The character that I previously perceived as "Art as weapon" has in this essay been transformed to "Art as visuality". The art of photography appears as the real subject matter for the photomontage at Karlaplan subwaystation.
