The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object shows why and how books matter in the 21st century. Digital and audio platforms are commonplace and other fields of art beyond literature have increasingly embraced books and publication as their medium of choice. Nevertheless the manifold book object persists and continues to inspire various types of experimentation. This volume sets forth an unprecedented approach where literary and media theory are entangled with design practitioners’ artistic research and process descriptions. By probing the paradigm of the codex this collection of essays focuses on historical and contemporary experimentation that has challenged what books are and could be from the perspectives of materiality mediation and visual and typographic design. Investigations into less-studied areas and cases of performativity demonstrate what experimental books do by interacting with their systemic and cultural environments. The volume offers a multifaceted and multidisciplinary view of the book object the book design and publishing processes and their significance in the digital age. | The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum investigates the art museum as a space where the contemporary is staged – in exhibitions collecting practices communication and policies. Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum traces the art museum back to the postwar era. Including contributions by established and emerging art historians academics and curators the book proposes that the art museum is engaged in the contemporary in a double sense: it (re)presents contemporary art while the contemporary condition itself also has a significant impact on art and the museum that houses it. Presenting a diverse range of international cases of exhibitions and curatorial practices which hail primarily from Europe and Scandinavia the essays examine the politics of staging “national” “international” and “global” framings of modernism as well as the new public spaces shaped in digital practices and changing political frameworks. The book investigates both the seminal and the unknown exhibitions and institutions that created contemporary art as we know it today. Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum provides a historical perspective on the museum of contemporary art. It constitutes a step towards differencing the canon of modernist and contemporary art and a more complex understanding of the politics of curating the contemporary in the art museum why it will be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of museums curating exhibitions and art history.

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The subject of this book is accurately defined by its subtitle. Music in a New Found Land does not pretend to be a comprehensive history of American music. Nor does Mellers strive to catalog what he considers to be authentic American music. Instead he deals in some detail with comparatively few composers most of whom have wellestablished reputations. It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme involves the relationship between art music jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artifi cial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art it has also produced Gershwin Ellington and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This book contains a large number of quotations from American writers because Mellers thought American sensibility should parallel reinforce and comment on American music. In sum this is the closest available one-volume history of American music and a window into American culture. | Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition

Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition

Ronald Fairbairn developed a thoroughgoing object relations theory that became a foundation for modern clinical thought. This volume is homage to the enduring power of his thinking and of his importance now and for the future of relational thinking within the social and human sciences. The book gathers an international group of therapists analysts psychiatrists social commentators and historians who contend that Fairbairn's work extends powerfully beyond the therapeutic. They suggest that social cultural and historical dimensions can all be illuminated by his work. Object relations as a strand within psychoanalysis began with Freud and passed through Ferenczi and Rank Balint Suttie and Klein to come of age in Fairbairn's papers of the early 1940s. That there is still life in this line of thinking is illustrated by the essays in this collection and by the modern relational turn in psychoanalytic theory the development of attachment theory and the increasing recognition that there is 'no such thing as an ego' without context without relationships without a social milieu. | Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition

Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

This book takes an interdisciplinary transnational and cross-cultural approach to reflect on critically examine and challenge the surprisingly robust practice of making art after death in an artist's name through the lenses of scholars from the fields of art history economics and law as well as practicing artists. Works of art conceived as multiples such as sculptures etchings prints photographs and conceptual art can be—and often are—remade from original models and plans long after the artist has passed. Recent sales have suggested a growing market embrace of posthumous works contemporaneous with questioning on the part of art history. Legal norms seem unready for this surge in posthumous production and are beset by conflict across jurisdictions. Non-Western approaches to posthumous art from Chinese emulations of non-living artists to Native American performances take into account rituals of generational passage at odds with contemporary market-driven approaches. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history the art market art law art management museum studies and economics. | Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

Thousands of intact ceramic bowls and plates as well as fragments made in the medieval Byzantine empire survive to this day. Decorated with figural and non-figural imagery applied in a variety of techniques and adorned with colourful paints and glazes the vessels can tell us much about those who owned them and those who looked at them. In addition to innumerable ceramic vessels a handful of precious metal bowls and plates survive from the period. Together these objects make up the art of dining in medieval Byzantium. This art of dining was effervescent at turns irreverent and deadly serious visually stunning and fun. It is suggestive of ways in which those viewing the objects used a quotidian and biologically necessary (f)act – that of eating – to reflect on their lives and deaths their aspirations and their realities. This book examines the ceramic and metal vessels in terms of the information offered on the foods eaten the foods desired and their status; the spectacle of the banquet; the relationship between word and image in medieval Byzantium; the dangers of taste; the emergence of new moral and social ideals; and the use of dining as a tool in constructing and enforcing hierarchy. This book is of appeal to scholarly and non-scholarly audiences interested in the art and material culture of the medieval period and in the social history of food and eating.

Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Structured around sexual desire as the central analytical category this monograph systematically approaches a heterogeneous array of artworks to purposefully examine the entanglements of art feminist theory gender and sexuality. This book considers the potential of sexually explicit art to challenge a socially constructed conception of sexuality as well as gender and explores the sexually explicit as a means to (re-)claim agency for marginalized subjectivities and to emancipate desire from within the patriarchal and heteronormative system. In distinct case studies the author focuses on works by four US-American artists – Robert Mapplethorpe Joan Semmel Betty Tompkins and Tee A. Corinne – and situates them in relation to contemporaneous debates associated with the insurgent Sexual Liberation Movements of the 1970s. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history visual culture and gender and sexuality studies. | Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Museums Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency

Museums Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency

Museums Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency considers the impact of the Anthropocene on history and memory approaches to objects and agency and the incommensurability of western and Indigenous ontologies. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge humanities and museological literature continental philosophy contemporary art and popular culture Baker acknowledges the autonomous agency of geological forms including soils minerals and fossil fuels. Demonstrating that this has implications for an expanded idea of an ‘inclusive’ museum and its relationship to entities beyond ‘life’ and living species the book argues that the ‘inclusion’ paradigm needs to include nonlife actors. Gesturing to a geontological ‘turn’ through developing notions of geo-inclusion the mineralhuman and approaches to object agency that connect with Aboriginal ‘heritage’ Baker exposes the ongoing destruction of Country by mining interests in Western Australia and elsewhere. By addressing the need for urgent change through the artifice of the museum the book identifies an expanded approach to inclusion beyond the limits imposed by the politics of identity. Museums Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency theorises the potential of an expanded idea of the museum and will be of interest to scholars and students engaged in the study of museums and heritage environmental humanities and geo-humanities ecological art history and contemporary art.

Chakshudana or Opening the Eyes Seeing South Asian Art Anew

Chakshudana or rituals of opening the eyes are practiced across multiple South Asian communities by artists sculptors and priests. The ritual offers gods access to the mortal world. This practice applied to the study of material and visual culture offers a distinctive perspective to interrogate the complex engagements with paintings sculptures found objects fragments built environments and ecologies. This volume takes the process of seeing as its focus—to look closely remaining true to the object but also to see widely—from multiple subjective stances and diverse bodily engagements such as walking to dreaming glancing to looking askance hypnotic stares and to see beyond the visible. It examines art history through nuanced considerations of materiality aesthetics and regional specificities. The essays emerge from current research that builds on the contributions of Michael W. Meister W. Norman Brown Distinguished Professor of History of Art and South Asia Studies at the University of Pennsylvania whose works laid the foundations for the study of South Asian visual and material culture. The essays in this book underscore methodological resonances rather than privileging conventional categories of media or chronology exploring artistic media including temples and paintings as well as Bengali-quilted textiles manuscript ‘lozenges ’ and metal repousse. This volume part of the Visual Media and Histories Series will be of interest to students and researchers of history of art religious studies and history as well as the allied disciplines of anthropology and folklore studies.

Shaping Identities in a Holy Land Crusader Art in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: Patrons and Viewers

Shaping Identities in a Holy Land Crusader Art in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: Patrons and Viewers

In the 88 years between its establishment by the victorious armies of the First Crusade and its collapse following the disastrous defeat at Hattin the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was the site of vibrant artistic and architectural activity. As the crusaders rebuilt some of Christendom's most sacred churches or embellished others with murals and mosaics a unique and highly original art was created. Focusing on the sculptural mosaic and mural cycles adorning some of the most important shrines in the Kingdom (such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre The Basilica of the Annunciation and the Church of the Nativity) this book offers a broad perspective of Crusader art and architecture. Among the many aspects discussed are competition among pilgrimage sites crusader manipulation of biblical models the image of the Muslim and others. Building on recent developments in the fields of patronage studies and reception theory the book offers a study of the complex ways in which Crusader art addressed its diverse audiences (Franks indigenous eastern Christians pilgrims) while serving the intentions of its patrons. Of particular interest to scholars and students of the Crusades and of Crusader art as well as scholars and students of medieval art in general this book will appeal to all those engaging with intercultural encounters acculturation Christian-Muslim relations pilgrimage the Holy Land medieval devotion and theology Byzantine art reception theory and medieval patronage. | Shaping Identities in a Holy Land Crusader Art in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: Patrons and Viewers

Performance Art in Portugal

Performance Art in Portugal

This book explores histories which have only recently been rediscovered by artists and researchers. This study explores the history of Portuguese performance art in its various speculative and performative forms. The author approaches this relationship with the re-emergence and centrality of these (semi-)peripheral histories at an international level whilst identifying some of their unique traits: their cycles of emergence and retraction in Portuguese history; their multiple and complex ontologies; the intertwined relations between the art of performance and the social performance of the Portuguese (regarding topics as sensitive and fracturing as those of the long dictatorship the colonial war and the revolutionary process or even the integration of Portugal in the European Community and more recently the various 21st century social political and economic crises). This reading in turn covers the development of the relationship between performance and hybridism namely analyzing the recent dimension of meta-hybridism in the processes of artistic homage that contemporary Portuguese creators have been establishing through access to the histories and archives of this historical genre. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies performance art and arts in general. | Performance Art in Portugal
