Erased, spoiled, obliterated, and defiled : young artists’ transition to maturity through marking and un-marking

Hursh, Asa William 18 November 2014 (has links)
At certain moments in the creative development of an artist, experimentation leads to creative acts that on their face can appear negative because they are the actions of a young artist responding to the establishment. This thesis is an investigation of such works: a spoiled print, an erased drawing, a set of artist proofs stained by paint, and a painting wiped away with turpentine. Despite these negations, each of these works was pivotal to the career of its respective artist, and they were immediately cited by their makers as works of consequence. The four selected art works did not influence one another and the circumstances surrounding their creation are also distinct. Each work and artist developed independently from one another, in distinct spaces and times. However, there are notable parallels among the works. Each was created as the artist transitioned into the mature phase of his career. Additionally, each of the works is a layering of distinct images. The sub-images relate to an external artist, style, or dogma, and the superimposed image relates to the artist’s own work and his mature style. Further, each of the works is an indexical record of the artist’s activity. Each emphasizes the artist’s hand in the making of the super-image’s mark and even goes so far as to highlight the performative nature of the mark making. The marks of the super-image are so pronounced as the subject of each work and the performative element so emphasized that the artist himself is drawn into the work’s subject matter. In short, I investigate whether these images function as a commentary, a critique, a declaration, or simply as part of a process and a dialogue between the artist and his artistic environment. / text

Aspects du rituel et de la violence chez les actionnistes viennois

Gaucher, Karine January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Ce mémoire se propose d'analyser les oeuvres des actionnistes viennois Günter Brus, Otto Mühl et Hermann Nitsch selon les aspects du rituel et de la violence. Cette recherche constitue la première étude sérieuse se penchant sur ces deux caractéristiques importantes de la pratique de ces artistes. À travers ce mémoire, nous abordons les concepts de la limite et de la transgression, du tabou, du rituel et de la violence afin d'en souligner leur manifestation à l'intérieur de leurs oeuvres ou dans leur pratique esthétique individuelle. Par l'entremise des thématiques du rituel et de la violence, nous élaborons l'hypothèse, que les actionnistes, à travers leurs actions, représentent l'ouverture du corps. Pour ce faire, nous avons basé notre travail de recherche selon les trois axes méthodologiques suivants: historiques, iconographiques et sémantiques. Nous avons découvert, ce faisant, que l'aspect du rituel et de la violence sont, dans un premier temps, liés intrinsèquement l'un à l'autre par le traitement du corps dans leur pratique respective, ensuite que leur mise en scène employant des éléments du rituel des sociétés dites «primitives» avait pour but l'exacerbation violente d'une situation prenant racine dans la société. Enfin, c'est par l'ajout, dans leur représentation du corps, des éléments empruntés aux divers rites, que la violence se manifeste dans leurs oeuvres à travers l'ouverture symbolique du corps. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Actionniste, Rituel, Violence, Transgression, Tabou.
