Tragicomedy in the socioplitical protest art of Yogyakarta /Wraith, Barrie Hamilton. Unknown Date (has links)
Sociopolitical artists in Yogyakarta have a long history of objection to governmental suppression in Indonesia. Yogyakarta has been Indonesia's 'city with a social conscience' and a continuous focal point for artists from all over Indonesia, particularly those with a sociopolitical agenda. / This thesis argues that the work and motives of the most influential Yogyakarta sociopolitical artists are essentially tragicomic in character. An analysis of the work and statements of artists who protested against the oppression and corruption under Suharto's New Order regime from 1966 to 1998 reveals a strong vein of protest art, disguised to avoid government reprisals. In the years immediately following Suharto's forced resignation in 1998 artists more boldly showed criticism of both previous and present corruption, collusion and nepotism. Examples of this work were more frequently and openly exhibited in Indonesia and overseas as the potential for government reprisals diminished. / Thesis (MVisualArts)--University of South Australia, 2006.

Imagining the Supernatural Grotesque: Paintings of Zhong Kui and Demons in the Late Southern Song (1127-1279) and Yuan (1271-1368) DynastiesTsai, Chun-Yi Joyce January 2015 (has links)
This dissertation is the first focused study of images of demons and how they were created and received at the turn of the Southern Song and Yuan periods of China. During these periods, China was in a state of dynastic crisis and transition, and the presence of foreign invaders, the rise of popular culture, the development of popular religion, as well as the advancement of commerce and transportation provided new materials and incentives for painting the supernatural grotesque. Given how widely represented they are in a variety of domains that include politics, literature, theater, and ritual, the Demon Queller Zhong Kui and his demons are good case studies for the effects of new social developments on representations of the supernatural grotesque. Through a careful iconological analysis of three of the earliest extant handscroll paintings that depict the mythical exorcist Zhong Kui travelling with his demonic entourage, this dissertation traces the iconographic sources and uncovers the multivalent cultural significances behind the way grotesque supernatural beings were imagined.
Most studies of paintings depicting Zhong Kui focus narrowly on issues of connoisseurship, concentrate on the painter's intent, and prioritize political metaphors in the paintings. This study expands understanding of these images by contextualizing them within contemporary beliefs in the supernatural world, which are reconstructed through a heterodox array of thirteenth-century sources encompassing nuo exorcist rituals, physiognomy manuals, joke books, codes of law, and writings on weddings. This study also examines the psychological impact images of grotesque supernatural beings had on their pre-modern viewers by analyzing original translations of inscriptions written in response to these paintings. This study reveals that paintings depicting Zhong Kui are heavily influenced by religious, social, and cultural currents at the time, despite their better-known political readings; that images of demons share interesting iconographic traits with portrayals of humans of foreign origins and in abject conditions; that and that aside from provoking feelings of disgust and fear, demons served as comic relief and spectacles in paintings which had been largely interpreted as moralistic.
This study fills a gap in Chinese demonology--which had focused largely on visual and textual sources before the Six Dynasties and after the Ming dynasty--by examining images of demonic creatures from the Song and Yuan periods. It enriches cross-cultural studies of monsters and the monstrous by offering an analysis of comparable Chinese examples. It contributes to studies of Song-Yuan painting by focusing on a category of images that have been understudied because they were at odds with literati taste. Finally, it adds to scholarship on Zhong Kui by offering new readings on three well-known paintings of the Demon Queller and synthesizing studies on him in literature, religion, and folklore.

Personal drawings as a political statementHall, Nancy January 1988 (has links)
This creative project entailed the creation and display of ten drawings. These drawings were to be the result of research into the lives and artistic styles of a number of visual artists who explored political and social themes. The goals of the artist of the creative project were to develop and extend her ability to produce a personal visual language, to communicate by way of her drawings certain feminist and social concerns, and to relate her treatment of the drawn figure to the treatment other artists have traditionally given these concerns.Within the context of the ten drawings submitted for this creative project, it became clear that the artist had begun to develop a personalized visual language. The human figures were indicated by outlines which suggested the three dimensional form in a manner that was distinctive to the artist while fitting into the realm of contemporary feminist and political art. Furthermore, these drawings described the humanist/feminist concerns of the artist. / Department of Art

Synthesis of the Personal and the Political in the Works of May StevensAbbott, Janet Gail 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis is an investigation of the way in which the painter May Stevens (b. 1924) synthesizes her personal experiences and political philosophy to form complex and enduring works of art. Primary data was accumulated through an extended interview with May Stevens and by examining her works on exhibit in New York and Boston. An analysis of selected works from her "Big Daddy" and "Ordinary/Extraordinary" series revealed how her personal feelings about her own family became entwined with larger political issues. As an important member of the feminist art movement that evolved during the 1970s, she celebrated this new kinship among women in paintings that also explored the contradictions in their lives. In more recent work she has explored complex social issues such as teenage prostitution, sexism, and child abuse in a variety of artistic styles and media. This study investigates how May Stevens continues to portray issues of international significance in works that consistently engage the viewer on a personal, almost visceral level.

Die verwantskap tussen politiek en kuns in Suid-Afrika, 1960-1996.13 August 2012 (has links)
M.A. / The purpose of this study is to analyse the nature of the relationship between politics and art in South Africa during the period 1960 to 1996. The discussion is limited to the performing arts, which includes music, theatre, musicals and dance. The relationship between art and politics in South Africa manifested in two ways. Firstly, art was used to convey a specific political message and secondly, it served as an external political instrument with which the international community forced South Africa to put an end to apartheid. The latter was achieved by enforcing sanctions which included the cultural boycott. This study states clearly that art cannot be separated from society and constitutes that art is an important element sociologically speaking. It can thus be influenced by society and it can influence society in many ways. The artist, as a member of society, produce his/her art in accordance to his/her experience of a certain society. The artwork is therefore an "image" of society, because it reflects the artists' perspective of society. There is a relationship between art and politics in South Africa, because both the white and the black South Africans used art to create their own identity. Through art they could form a solidarity, and in the long run they could either sustain or gain political power. The whites wanted to sustain their power and therefore used the arts and art structures as a vehicle to maintain their Western(white) values. The blacks wanted to gain political power and, through the black consciousness movement and their anti-apartheid campaigns, they strove to gain political power. Art was therefore not only used by the blacks as a political weapon against the white apartheid regime, but also by the international community as a means to punish South Africa for the violation of human rights.

Problematizações sobre políticas da arte na licenciatura em artes visuais : é preciso gostar da arte de outro jeito, a licenciatura é uma praçaCapra, Carmen Lúcia January 2017 (has links)
A tese apresenta a problematização de políticas da arte na licenciatura em artes visuais indagando sobre como certos modos de operar com a arte nesse curso produzem efeitos sobre os professores em formação. Efeitos como a demarcação de lugares, modos de ser ou certas concessões em relação às artes visuais são analisados, tendo em vista a docência para a educação básica. Utilizaram-se metodologias artísticas de investigação, adotando-se como procedimento as residências em duas universidades públicas brasileiras onde existem cursos de licenciatura em artes visuais e experiências artísticas com fotografia, escrita e intervenções em folhas de papel almaço, consideradas como um elemento característico de situações de educação. A metodologia também assumiu uma perspectiva teórica desenvolvida com o estímulo foucaultiano em articulações ao pensamento de Jacques Rancière, Giorgio Agamben, Georges Didi-Huberman, Carlos Skliar, Jorge Larrosa, Jan Masschelein e Maarten Simons, entre outros, permitindo conexões entre a filosofia, a arte e a educação. Na constituição discursiva da licenciatura em artes visuais, foi possível identificar vínculos entre uma estrutura política e uma prática moral implementadas por uma economia da arte. Observou-se que a formação docente assume o discurso do campo artístico, considerando-o como o princípio a ser adotado pelos professores, o que produz diferentes lugares e modos de ser dos licenciandos em relação à arte. A partir daí foi possível descrever as principais bases componentes da formação docente, a base estética e a base criadora, que atendem à estrutura teórica e poética da arte Quando tais bases são conectadas à educação, contribuem à ênfase no sujeito e aliam-se a promessas de liberdade e progresso. Em consonância à atitude adotada desde a composição da metodologia da pesquisa, propõe-se a inserção de uma base política na licenciatura em artes visuais como a possibilidade de perturbar as operações com a arte atribuídas à formação docente e à educação escolar. Como atitude, a política daria condições de realizar as indagações necessárias à arte e à educação indo além da reafirmação das experiências do artista e do espectador, da autonomia da arte e do viés biográfico que atravessa a constituição desse campo. Essas operações, no curso de licenciatura, mantêm o tom metafísico da experiência e do conhecimento artístico e fazem germinar sobre a docência o exame moral esvaziador do agir político necessário à arte e à educação. A atitude política de eliminar as distâncias e redistribuir os lugares de experiência com a arte na licenciatura em artes visuais pode produzir existências artísticas nascentes em lugar de modos de ser delineados por outros. Como contribuição, aponta-se que profanar o que tornou-se sagrado e afastado do uso comum, como certos modos de ser, posses e direitos sobre a arte, pode dispo-la ao uso livre na escola. / This thesis presents the problematization of the politics of art int the graduation on Visual Arts inquiring how certain ways of operating with the arts in this course affect the teachers under training. Effects as the mapping of the places, ways of being or certain concessions in relation to the training to the Visual Arts are analyzed, having in sight the teaching in basic education. Artistic methodologies of investigation were used: residences at two Brazilian public universities where there are undergraduate courses in Visual Arts; and artistic experiences such as photography, writing and interventions on lined sheets of paper, which are considered a typical element of learning situations. The methodology also assumed a theorical perspective developed with the Foucaultian stimuli in articulation with the thought of Jacques Rancière, Giorgio Agamben, Georges Didi-Huberman, Carlos Skliar, Jorge Larrosa, Jan Masschelein and Maarten Simons, among many, allowing connections among Philosophy, Arts and Education. In the discursive constituion of undergraduation in Visual Arts, it was possible to identify links between a political structure and a moral practice implemented by an economy of the art. It was observed that the teaching training assumes a discourse at the aisthetic field, considering it the principle to be adopted by teachers, which produces different places and ways of being on the undergraduates in relation to art. From this on it was possible to describe the main component basis of the teaching training, the esthetical basis and the creative basis which attend the thoeorical and poetic structure of the arts When those are connected to education, they contribute to the emphasis on the subject and are allied to promises of freedom and progress. In accordance to the attitude adopted since the composition of the methodology of research, it is proposed the insertion of a political basis at the undergraduation course of Visual Arts as a possibility to disturb the operation with art attributed to teacher training and to school education. As an attitude, the politics would give conditions to realize the necessary questioning to the art and to education, going beyond the reaffirmation of the artist experiences and the expectator, the authonomy of the arts and the biographical bias which goes through the constitution of this field. These operations, in the course of undergraduation, maintain the metaphysical tone of the artistic experience and knowledge and make germinate over the teaching the emptying moral scrutiny of the political acting to Arts and Education. The political attitude to eliminate distances and redistribute the places of experiences with art at the undergraduation course of Visual Arts may produce artistic rising existences instead of ways deliniated by others. As contribution, we poit out that to profanate what became holy and distant from the common use, as certain ways of being, possessions and rights over the art, may dispose it to the free use of the school.
