Download or read book A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework written by Jane Chin Davidson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework explores the ways specialists and institutions in the fine arts, curation, cultural studies, and art history have attempted to situate art in a more global framework since the 1980s. Offering analyses of the successes and setbacks of these efforts to globalize the art world, this innovative volume presents a new and exciting way of considering art in its global contexts. Essays by an international panel of leading scholars and practicing artists assert that what we talk about as ‘art’ is essentially a Western concept, thus any attempts at understanding art in a global framework require a revising of established conceptual definitions. Organized into three sections, this work first reviews the history and theory of the visual arts since 1980 and introduces readers to the emerging area of scholarship that seeks to place contemporary art in a global framework. The second section traces the progression of recent developments in the art world, focusing on the historical and cultural contexts surrounding efforts to globalize the art world and the visual arts in particular global and transnational frameworks. The final section addresses a wide range of key themes in contemporary art, such as the fundamental institutions and ontologies of art practice, and the interactions among art, politics, and the public sphere. A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, researchers, and general readers interested in exploring global art beyond the traditional Euro-American context.
Download or read book On Display Visual Politics Material Culture and Education written by Karin Priem and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2016 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on one of the most successful photography exhibitions in history, The Family of Man. With The Family of Man as its reference point, this collection of essays takes a closer look at visual and material objects. It examines their relevance for educational issues and exhibition designs. We understand these issues in their broadest sense to encompass processes of citizenship and identity formation and the adoption and/or preservation of ethical and political values with effects that range from the micro to the macro, from the national to the international level. The overall hypothesis of this volume is that images, objects and designs were created and employed as performers and performances that interacted with and attracted mass audiences. This book not only looks at how the presentational, representational and social power of images, objects and designs was deliberately used by political and cultural stakeholders during the mid-1950s, but also how these technologies of display travelled through time and space and, as historical objects, interacted-and continue to interact-with new contexts and audiences.

Download or read book Shut Them Down written by David Harvie and published by Autonomedia. This book was released on 2005 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Writing. Politics and History. SHUT THEM DOWN! is an essential collection of reflections on the movement against the 2005 G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. As well as action stories from the frontlines of resistance to the summit, there are detailed accounts of how various aspects of the mobilisation were organised, and analysis of the lessons to be learned. But the relevance of SHUT THEM DOWN! extends far beyond the Gleneagles experience. It addresses fundamental issues such as the nature of openness and horizontality', and the limitations of the activist' identity. Most important of all, SHUT THEM DOWN! poses the question: how can we take those worlds we glimpse in such moments and generalise them so that they make sense in the rest of our lives?

Download or read book Making It Modern written by Linda Nochlin and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A selection of key essays on art from the nineteenth century to the present day by one of the most influential voices in art history. This illustrated collection of essays brings together some of art historian Linda Nochlin’s most important writings on modernism and modernity from across her six-decade career. Before the publication of her seminal essay on feminism in art, “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?,” she had already firmly established herself as a major practitioner of a politically sophisticated and class-conscious social art history. Nochlin was part of an important cohort of scholars writing on modernity, determined to rethink the narratives of the subject under the pressure of contemporary events such as student uprisings, the women’s liberation movement, and the Vietnam War, with the help of politically engaged literary criticism that was emerging at the same time. Nochlin embraced Charles Baudelaire’s conviction that modernity is meant to be of one’s time—and that the role of an art historian was to understand the art of the past not only in its own historical context but according to the urgencies of the contemporary world. From academic debates about the nude in the eighteenth century to the work of Robert Gober in the twenty-first, whatever she turned her analytic eye to was conceived as the art of the now. Including seven previously unpublished pieces, this collection highlights the breadth and diversity of Nochlin’s output across the decades, including discussions on colonialism, fashion, and sex.
