  • Participatory Art
    ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AESTHETICS, Michael Kelly, Editor-in-Chief (Oxford University Press, 2014) Participatory Art. In recent decades, contemporary visual and performance art created through a participatory process has drawn increasing attention. Its value is the subject of considerable debate, including a lively conversation around the ethics and aesthetics of the practice as well as the vocabulary best suited to describe and critique it. Participatory art exists under a variety of overlapping headings, including interactive, relational, cooperative, activist, dialogical, and community-based art. In some cases, participation by a range of people creates an artwork, in others the participatory action is itself described as the art. So the conceptual photographer Wendy Ewald gave cameras and photography training to a group of children in a village in India, who, in turn, depicted their community, and the resulting photography show was considered participatory art. On the other hand, the multimedia visual artist Pedro Lasch collaborated with a group of “Sonidero” DJ’s on a party at an art center in Mexico City, and he called the social interactions leading to, and including, the public event an artwork co-authored by a range of participants—including the people who simply showed up for the event.

Across the globe, throughout recorded history people have participated in the creation of art—from traditional music and dance to community festivals to mural arts.

  • Tania Bruguera: Beyond the Political, Towards Collective Decoloniality By
    Tania Bruguera: Beyond the Political, Towards Collective Decoloniality By Rodrigo Barriuso González-Mora Submitted to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in CONTEMPORARY ART, DESIGN AND NEW MEDIA ART HISTORIES Toronto, Ontario, Canada, December 2017 © Rodrigo Barriuso González-Mora, 2017 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of the MRP.

Signature ____________________________________________ ii Abstract The theoretical discussion of how the decolonization of knowledge and being can become a tangible reality has gained notable prominence since the 1990s. The abstractness of theory, however, poses a challenge to the analysis of concrete paths of decolonization. Through the examination of the work of the Cuban installation and performance artist Tania Bruguera, this paper explores how art serves to bridge the gap between theory and praxis in relation to the goal of decolonization. Specifically, the paper addresses how the individual and collective manifestations of Bruguera’s artistic practice function as a decolonial site of political and social engagement in her home country of Cuba, as well as internationally. To this end, the paper traces the evolution of Bruguera’s performances that address power structures in post-revolutionary Cuba and the ways in which she negotiates the power dynamics of the international art world in order to ensure that her work is not co-opted by the Western colonial framework that she seeks to challenge.

  • Aesthetica Issue 100 Celebrations
    Aesthetica Magazine commemorates 100 issues, launching the milestone edition at the Future Now Symposium, with a dedicated day of innovative masterclasses. Aesthetica Magazine reaches a significant milestone in 2021, publishing the 100th issue of the magazine, and marking 18 years of independent publishing. This special edition will be launched with a full day of virtual talks at the Future Now Symposium (28 April), celebrating one of the UK’s leading art and culture publications, founded in York, UK. Kicking the day off, between 09.30 and 10.30, audiences can hear from both of Aesthetica’s founders, Cherie Federico and Dale Donley, to learn more about the journey of starting Aesthetica Magazine as a project and developing the publication into one of the world’s leading voices for art and design, with a reach of 500,000, as well as a platform for creativity across the Art Prize, Creative Writing Award and Film Festival. A series of talks bring the 100th issue of Aesthetica to life, including an examination of international lighting design with Sarah Schleuning, Dallas Museum of Art; and Cindi Strauss, Museum of Fine Arts Houston. From the invention of the first electric light by Humphry Davy in 1808 to Phillips’ development of the “ultraefficient” lightbulb in 2011, lighting technology has fascinated engineers, scientists and designers worldwide. This session brings the last century of into focus. Hear from some of our favourite photographers over the years, including Ellie Davies, Kevin Cooley, Ryan Schude, Yannis Davy Guibinga and Brooke DiDonato. In this creative panel discussion, we ask: how do you take a photograph in a new way? How far can you push the ideas in order to create something that is captivating and also contributes to wider discourse on image-making? Closing the first day of the festival, at 18.30-19.30, 100th issue cover photographer Kriss Munsya considers the power of images to reclaim identities and tackle internalised structures.

  • A Loyal Daughter of the Revolution
    Tania Bruguera: A Loyal Daughter of the Revolution In Venice, the Cuban artist literally risked her life in what she considered a political work of art. As a radical, she does not want to denounce: she wants to do. And she does. By Cristina Civale, Clarin, Argentina http://www.clarin.com/diario/2009/09/09/um/m-01994706.htm Tania Bruguera is the most renowned contemporary visual artist in her country. She does not paint, does not draw, does not make videos. She has devoted almost exclusively to performances. She sets the axis of her work in her own intervened body and her creations stem from there. She visited Buenos Aires some days ago invited by the Centro de Investigaciones Creativas (CIC), under the direction of Roberto Jacoby, to offer a workshop on “Behavior Art: Creating a Profession.” There she dealt with the most intolerable aspects of social life by bringing subjectivity into play until arriving at the creation of professional identities in a journey from private to public, from individual rejection to the imagination of professional activities and roles designed to be confronted. We talked with her in an August afternoon in the seat of the CIC. “I want to propose the type of artist who may get involved in social issues,” she says, “with the privilege artists have as social and responsible motivators. I am not interested in visiting a space and say something, but in doing something.” Her recent creation for the last Venice Biennial Exhibition undoubtedly describes the extent of her proclaimed concept of political art, intervention and example.

Hours: Wednesday–Saturday, 12–6 pm, and by appointment www.projectspace-efanyc.org [email protected] 212-563-5855 ext 244 ​ ​ ​ EFA Project Space is thrilled to present the inaugural edition of The Immigrant Artist Biennial (TIAB): ​ Here, Together!, the biennial’s central group exhibition of multidisciplinary works by eleven New ​ York-based immigrant artists, curated by Katya Grokhovsky. Here, Together! explores displacement, ​ ​ separation, alienation, and the steady erosion of the American Empire. At a time when our country is witnessing extreme anti-immigrant sentiment, coupled with a global rhetoric of exclusion, nationalism, and discrimination, Here, Together! calls for urgent unity, visibility, ​ ​ and criticality, by facilitating a necessary platform of cultural exchange. In Here, Together!, Foreign-born, US-based practitioners of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds ​ ​ engage in a historical dialogue with each other, establishing a legacy and lineage of deeply involved politically and personally charged inquiries. Grappling with issues of identity, the meaning of home and place, and the consistent, looming threats of erasure, removal, and cultural whitewashing, the selected artists call forth the power dynamics and hierarchies of a late stage struggling capitalist society in dire need of compassion and humanity. The work highlights efforts to create a common ground and a global community.
