Propriété intellectuelle The Wiederaufbau of Perception 1 The Wiederaufbau of Perception German Photography in the Postwar Moment, 1945–1950 Andrés Mario Zervigón 1 In the summer of 1943, during a long heat wave, the RAF (Royal Air Force), supported by the US Eighth Army Air Force, flew a series of raids on Hamburg.’ So begins German author W.G. Sebald’s account of the firebombing of this northern German city in his book Luftkrieg und Literatur. With a thoroughly straightforward – if sometimes fragmented – vocabulary, Sebald goes on to regale his reader with the grizzly details that follow his textual establishing shot: ‘In a raid early in the morning on July 27, beginning at one A.M., ten thousand tons of high explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped on the densely populated residential areas east of the Elbe … A now familiar sequence of events occurred: first all the doors and windows were torn from their frames and smashed by high- explosive bombs weighing four thousand pounds, then the attic floors of the buildings were ignited by lightweight incendiary mixtures, and at the same time firebombs weighing up to fifteen kilograms fell into the lower storeys.

  • 2017 Abstracts
    Abstracts for the Annual SECAC Meeting in Columbus, Ohio October 25th-28th, 2017 Conference Chair, Aaron Petten, Columbus College of Art & Design Emma Abercrombie, SCAD Savannah The Millennial and the Millennial Female: Amalia Ulman and ORLAN This paper focuses on Amalia Ulman’s digital performance Excellences and Perfections and places it within the theoretical framework of ORLAN’s surgical performance series The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan. Ulman’s performance occurred over a twenty-one week period on the artist’s Instagram page. She posted a total of 184 photographs over twenty-one weeks. When viewed in their entirety and in relation to one another, the photographs reveal a narrative that can be separated into three distinct episodes in which Ulman performs three different female Instagram archetypes through the use of selfies and common Instagram image tropes. This paper pushes beyond the casual connection that has been suggested, but not explored, by art historians between the two artists and takes the comparison to task. Issues of postmodern identity are explored as they relate to the Internet culture of the 1990s when ORLAN began her surgery series and within the digital landscape of the Web 2.0 age that Ulman works in, where Instagram is the site of her performance and the selfie is a medium of choice. Abercrombie situates Ulman’s “image-body” performance within the critical framework of feminist performance practice, using the postmodern performance of ORLAN as a point of departure. J. Bradley Adams, Berry College Controlled Nature Focused on gardens, Adams’s work takes a range of forms and operates on different scales.

Der 1950 erstmals erschienene Bildband „Dresden, eine Kamera klagt an“ von Richard Peter sen. dokumentiert die Zerstörung Dresdens. Die Ausstellung zeigt 200 Vintage-Prints, Kontaktbögen und Dokumente aus den Nachlässen beider Fotografen. Sie rekonstruiert die Entstehungsgeschichte beider Bände und stellt sie in den historischen Kontext ihrer Erstpublikation. Mit dieser Präsentation begründen die drei Kooperationspartner – die Deutsche Fotothek in der Sächsischen Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden, die Stiftung F.C. Gundlach Hamburg sowie das LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn eine jährliche Ausstellungsreihe mit dem Titel „Aus den Archiven“. Die Ausstellung wird gefördert durch die Kunststiftung NRW.

  • Immersion Into Noise
    Immersion Into Noise Critical Climate Change Series Editors: Tom Cohen and Claire Colebrook The era of climate change involves the mutation of systems beyond 20th century anthropomorphic models and has stood, until recent- ly, outside representation or address. Understood in a broad and critical sense, climate change concerns material agencies that im- pact on biomass and energy, erased borders and microbial inven- tion, geological and nanographic time, and extinction events. The possibility of extinction has always been a latent figure in textual production and archives; but the current sense of depletion, decay, mutation and exhaustion calls for new modes of address, new styles of publishing and authoring, and new formats and speeds of distri- bution. As the pressures and re-alignments of this re-arrangement occur, so must the critical languages and conceptual templates, po- litical premises and definitions of ‘life.’ There is a particular need to publish in timely fashion experimental monographs that redefine the boundaries of disciplinary fields, rhetorical invasions, the in- terface of conceptual and scientific languages, and geomorphic and geopolitical interventions. Critical Climate Change is oriented, in this general manner, toward the epistemo-political mutations that correspond to the temporalities of terrestrial mutation.

  • The Dynamics of Adolescence and Mothers
    Future Clan: A Visual Investigation into the Dynamics of Adolescence and Mothers by Gabrielle Falconer A thesis submitted to the Department of Fine Arts In conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Tasmania April, 2012 Abstract This project is a visual interpretation of my journey of motherhood at the time of my son‟s adolescence. Adolescence encompasses a reshaping of roles and relationships for both mother and son and these shifts are often accompanied by confusion and conflict. The relationship between parent and child is central, and is presented in this submission from the perspective of the mother. The balance between dependency and independence for the adolescent, and a mother‟s response to these oscillations, has been central to the overall project. There are a number of questions that arise from this personal investigation that have a theoretical underpinning, including; How can portraiture explore the complex realm of selfhood and the subject? and What place does such an intimate exploration of a lived experience have in contemporary art? and Why has this aspect of women‟s lives been so little explored by artists? The exegesis reviews feminist writing on motherhood and art, such as theorists Marianne Hirsch, Carol Armstrong Rozsika Parker and Andrea Liss. It is significant that as recently as the 2009 publication Feminist Art and the Maternal, Andrea Liss questions why the perspective of the mother has been under- represented within contemporary art practice. Following this there is a discussion of portraiture and expressionism and how these operate within this research project. Finally there is a discussion of printmaking processes that allow for an expression of the embodied experience of motherhood and how the use of a camera to record poses, expresses the fragmented experience of parenting.

  • DUSSELDORF PHOTOGRAPHY Bernd and Hilla Becher & Beyond 4 September – 3 October 2015
    DUSSELDORF PHOTOGRAPHY Bernd and Hilla Becher & Beyond 4 September – 3 October 2015 This autumn Ben Brown Fine Arts is pleased to present a major survey of photography originating from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf after 1976. The exhibition offers an opportunity to see varying interpretations of the German ‘New Objectivity’ style championed by Bernd and Hilla Becher side by side, including meditations on architecture and landscape by their former pupils Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Axel Hütte, Thomas Ruff, Elger Esser and Thomas Struth, also known today as the Dusseldorf School of Photography. These documentary representations of existing spaces will be complemented by the photography of Thomas Demand, a former sculpture student at the Kunstakademie, who models, amongst other subjects, life-size rooms and buildings for exacting depiction. Meeting at an advertising agency in Dusseldorf in 1957, Bernd and Hilla Becher began photographing industrial structures in the mining area of the Ruhr district where Bernd spent his childhood. Always incorporating overcast skies to minimise shadows, their formalist images capture the near-sculptural majesty of cooling towers, lime kilns and bunkers, each relics of a vanishing industrial age. In direct contrast to the romantic worldview of their post-war contemporaries, the Bechers’ works began a revival of the ‘New Objectivity’ photography that had prevailed in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by an unsentimental gaze. Following the pair’s international debut at Documenta 5 in Kassel (1972) Bernd Becher was appointed professor of photography at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1976, which was increasingly renowned as a centre of high-quality photographic training and technological advancement.
