Download or read book The Impact of Everyday Language Change on the Practices of Visual Artists written by Darryl Hocking and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practices of visual artists can never be decontextualised from language. Firstly, artists are constantly in dialogue with their peers, dealers, critics, and audiences about their creative activities and these interactions impact on the work they produce. Secondly, artists' conceptualisations of what artistic practice encompasses are always shaped by wider social discourses. These discourses, however, and their manifestation in the language of everyday life are subject to continual change, and potentially reshape the way that artists conceptualise their practices. Using a 235,000-word diachronic corpus developed from artists' interviews and statements, this Element investigates shifts in artists' use of language to conceptualise their art practice from 1950 to 2019. It then compares these shifts to see if they align with changes in the wider English lexicon and whether there might be a relationship between everyday language change and the aesthetic and conceptual developments that take place in the art world.

Download or read book Another Way with Words written by Ann Katrina Ingrid Poulsen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The use of language, both as a subject and as a means of making artworks, has been a defining feature of twentieth-century art. This thesis examines the vivid heterogeneity of this practice, representing the range and richness of image/text with such diverse works as Mallarmé's poem 'Un coup de Dés', 1895, and Patterson's Underground map 'The Great Bear', 1992. Within this study, consideration is also given to the contextual influence of the art museum. The author's reading presumes that 'text' cannot be understood apart from 'book' itself, especially in regard to its performative potentiality. She makes particular reference to the commonplace book, which she uses as a model for this thesis, because the function of commonplace methodology is to maintain not a single and exclusive meaning (by excising all others), but the simultaneous existence of multiple meaning - a method appropriate for the interpretation of the artwork as an open site of meaning. The conculsion this thesis makes is that the practice of image/text is not primarily about the materiality of words, though this is important; nor does it function solely to turn an image in a 'text' so that it may enter the field of discourse. The practice of image/text investigates mechanisms of meaning, such as metaphor, irony and genre, which operate differently from the procedures of formal logic; thus enabling the artists cited here to work within, to take as the subject, the complexity of social and cultural change"--Abstract.
