Download or read book Dak Art written by Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can an art biennale in Dakar, Senegal, tell us about current discourses surrounding the place of art in the world, and in the academic study of anthropology? This volume investigates the Dak'Art biennale, ranked among the world's top 20 biennials, drawing upon fieldwork, archival research, and the experiences of those involved. In so doing, the chapters make a statement about the impact of globally-acting art biennials, contributing to current scholarship both on biennales and the anthropology of art scene more widely. Part I opens with the history of its foundation and considers it in conjunction with the rise of contemporary art in Senegal. Part II deals with the biennale's various objectives, selection strategies, exhibition spaces, platforms for debate, and discourses between the State, the secretariat and local artists and art world professionals. Part III examines the cyclical creation of contemporary African art, and questions if the Biennial creates local canonical practices. The Epilogue uses the Dak'art biennale to question assumptions around practice in general biennale scholarship and work. Featuring a dialogic structure between practitioners of art and anthropologists, this unique volume will be of interest to students of anthropology, art history and practice, African studies and curatorial practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis l'exposition décisive " Magiciens de la Terre " (Centre Pompidou, 1989), les plus grands musées accordent peu à peu une place à cette aire de création qu'est l'art africain contemporain. En montrant les œuvres d'artistes qui travaillent en Afrique ou y entretiennent une partie de leur activité, L'art africain contemporain tente de rendre compte de la diversité et de la vigueur d'un art mal connu ou enfermé dans des clichés. Au travers de médias variés, de la peinture à l'installation, de la photographie à la vidéo, l'ouvrage offre des visions différentes de cultures très vives, prises dans les mouvements parfois contradictoires d'un monde ouvert, entre des réalités de vie quotidienne souvent difficiles et des puissances imaginaires dont le regard européen a parfois du mal à prendre la mesure. Selon le principe de la collection " Tableaux choisis ", le livre propose un parcours articulé à partir de 12 œuvres, choisies pour leur qualité et leur exemplarité [...]

Download or read book Art History and Fetishism Abroad written by Gabriele Genge and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By focusing on the various modes and media of the fetishised object, this anthology shifts the debates on thingness into a new global art historical perspective. The contributors explore the attention given to those material images, in both artistic and cultural practice from the heyday of colonial expansion until today. They show that in becoming vehicles and agents of transculturality, so called »fetishes« take shape in the 17th to 19th century aesthetics, psychology and ethnography - and furthermore inspire a recent discourse on magical practice and its secular meanings requiring altered art historical approaches and methods.
Download or read book In Senghor s Shadow written by Elizabeth Harney and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Senghor’s Shadow is a unique study of modern art in postindependence Senegal. Elizabeth Harney examines the art that flourished during the administration of Léopold Sédar Senghor, Senegal’s first president, and in the decades since he stepped down in 1980. As a major philosopher and poet of Negritude, Senghor envisioned an active and revolutionary role for modern artists, and he created a well-funded system for nurturing their work. In questioning the canon of art produced under his aegis—known as the Ecole de Dakar—Harney reconsiders Senghor’s Negritude philosophy, his desire to express Senegal’s postcolonial national identity through art, and the system of art schools and exhibits he developed. She expands scholarship on global modernisms by highlighting the distinctive cultural history that shaped Senegalese modernism and the complex and often contradictory choices made by its early artists. Heavily illustrated with nearly one hundred images, including some in color, In Senghor’s Shadow surveys the work of a range of Senegalese artists, including painters, muralists, sculptors, and performance-based groups—from those who worked at the height of Senghor’s patronage system to those who graduated from art school in the early 1990s. Harney reveals how, in the 1970s, avant-gardists contested Negritude beliefs by breaking out of established artistic forms. During the 1980s and 1990s, artists such as Moustapha Dimé, Germaine Anta Gaye, and Kan-Si engaged with avant-garde methods and local artistic forms to challenge both Senghor’s legacy and the broader art world’s understandings of cultural syncretism. Ultimately, Harney’s work illuminates the production and reception of modern Senegalese art within the global arena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une généalogie polyphonique du concept d'art contemporain africain. Une histoire de l'art contemporain africain ? Non. Une histoire performative de cette notion si longtemps polémique ! Tel est le sujet de cette anthologie conçue et introduite par Cédric Vincent, chercheur en anthropologie sociale et spécialiste des festivals panafricains. Articulant les réflexions de figures fondatrices (Ulli Beier, Michel Leiris, Pierre Lods, Frank McEwen), d'artistes (Aina Onabolu, Eddie Chambers, Ben Enwonwu, Ernest Mancoba, Hassan Musa, Everlyn Nicodemus), de commissaires d'expositions (Clémentine Deliss, Okwui Enwezor, Jean-Hubert Martin, Simon Njami) et de chercheuses et chercheurs (Salah M. Hassan, Sidney L. Kasfir, Kobena Mercer, Olu Oguibe), cet ouvrage rend compte de la pluralité des points de vue, de la vigueur des controverses, des avancées contrariées d'un champ théorique en perpétuelle évolution. Mettant en valeur les débats récurrents que suscitèrent les concepts d'authenticité, de transmission, de modernité, d'identité et de colonisation culturelle, les 27 textes réunis se déploient des années 1920 à l'Âge des Indépendances, des débuts de la globalisation artistique au contexte mondialisé actuel, aussi bien au Nigéria, en Afrique du Sud, en Éthiopie et au Sénégal qu'en France, au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis.
Download or read book Visual Arts in Cameroon written by Schemmel, Annette and published by Langaa RPCIG. This book was released on 2016-02-27 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annette Schemmel provides a highly illuminating case study of the major actors, discourses and paradigm that shaped the history of visual arts in Cameroon during the second part of the 20th century. Her book meticulously reconstructs the multiple ways of artistic knowledge acquisition - from the consolidation of the "Système de Grands Frères" in the 1970s to the emergence of more discursively oriented small artists' initiatives which responded to the growing NGO market of social practice art opportunities in the 2000s. Based on archival research, participant observation and in depth interviews with art practitioners in Douala and Yaoundé, this study is a must read for everyone who wants to better understand the vibrant artistic scenes in countries like Cameroon, which until today lack a proper state-funded infrastructure in the arts.
Download or read book Empire lost written by Elisabeth Mudimbe-Boyi and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the loss of the French Empire, France and its former colonies are still bound by a common historical past. With the new global promotion of la Francophonie, the relation between the various constituencies of the French-speaking regions of the world is reexamined and debated in this book, through the conversation between scholars dealing with diverse texts and contexts that present the colonial contact and its imprint. The book illustrates how, in France and in its other worlds, that contact, its repercussions, and its memory are lived and expressed today in a variety of textual representations. The historical contact between France and its other worlds has given birth to new kinds of cross-cultural expressions in the arts, in literature, and in aesthetics, establishing interrelations and generating appropriations from both sides of the Hexagon frontier, highlighting the fluidity and the permeability of its cultural borders. The book subtext tells that the frontier between France and its other worlds is no more an unshakable geographical, political, and cultural limit, but rather a line that has become mobile, fluctuating, and permeable, and across which currents, ideas, sensitivities, and creativity are expressed, bearing testimony to vitality and diversity but also to a cross-fertilization of cultures and societies (re) crossing or meeting at that line. Seen from this latter perspective, the book comes also as an interrogation of the inclusiveness or exclusiveness of the words francophone and Francophonie, and, at an academic level, a mutual exclusion of French and Francophone Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication aims to make suggestions for a 'decolonisation of aesthetics' within an Afro-European framework. The texts (whose authors come from different cultural contexts between Germany, France, Senegal, Benin, Nigeria and Tunesia) do not only refer to heterogenous aesthetic practices understood as subversive and decolonial strategies, but also discuss philosophical questions of a renewed (non-in)dividual humanism.
