The Aestheticization of History and the Butterfly Effect
'The Aestheticization of History and the Butterfly Effect: Visual Arts Series' introduces the audience to philosophical concepts that broach the beginning of the history of Western thought in Plato and Aristotle to that of more modern thought in the theoretician Jacques Rancière in which the main conceptual framework of this anthology is predicated. The introduction is mainly concerned with Rancière’s concept of the distribution of the sensible, which is the arrangement of things accessible to our senses, what we experience in real-time and space— compartmentalization and categorization of all things. These things do not just involve tangible items, but audible speech, written language...
Place-As-Medium and New Grounds for Thinking in Contemporary Art
This book presents a broad scope of global contemporary art projects, establishing a new philosophical framework to understand and evaluate the new art practice known as “place‐s‐edium.” This new category of art practice creates artworks that deepen our belonging to place by asking us to think through them together. This book shows how place‐s‐edium art reshapes the ground of thinking by offering a new reading of the work of Alfredo Jaar through the theories of Jacques Ranciere, Gianni Vattimo, and Martin Heidegger. An in-depth analysis of Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev’s 2012 international art exhibition dOCUMENTA (13) focuses on the temporal and spatial dimensions of thinking through place. This book advocates for shared authorship exemplified in artworks by Theaster Gates and John Preus that use repair and renovation to rebuild communities, and provides a model for ecological thinking in a case study of The Swamp School by Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas. Additionally, this book includes a Coda for Place‐s‐edium as a practical guide for artists to think through place. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, and philosophy.
Place-As-Medium and New Grounds for Thinking in Contemporary Art
"This book presents a broad scope of global contemporary art projects, establishing a new philosophical framework to understand and evaluate the new art practice known as "place-as-medium". This new category of art practice creates artworks that deepen our belonging to place, and remake the world, each according to the new forms they bring into being and the unique ways in which they ask us to think through them together. This book shows the ways in which place-as-medium art reshapes the ground of thinking by offering a new reading of the work of Alfredo Jaar through the theories of Jacques Rancière, Gianni Vattimo, and Martin Heidegger. The book advocates for shared authorship exemplified in artworks by Theaster Gates and John Preus that use repair and renovation to rebuild communities, and provides a model for ecological thinking through place-as-medium in a case study of The Swamp School by Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas. Additionally, the book includes a CODA for Place-as-Medium as a practical guide for artists to think through place. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, and philosophy"-- Provided by publisher.
Contemporary Art and Forced Displacement
This book urges for an understanding of contemporary art as being core to creative responses which intervene in the lived experience of forced displacement. Contemporary Art and Forced Displacement explores art practice which moves beyond mere representation toward practical intervention across five key areas: language, heritage and design, pedagogy and education, law and access to justice and the archive. Focusing on art produced across three sites, each emblematic of protracted forms of displacement (Greece, Palestine and Australia), it makes clear the ways in which art operates as a vital yet underacknowledged instrument of cultural resilience. This book is ideal for researchers, scholars and practitioners interested in contemporary art and politics, contemporary art methods and practice, and migration.
