  • Art on Mars: a Foundation for Exoart
    THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA AUSTRALIA by TREVOR JOHN RODWELL Bachelor of Design (Hons), University of South Australia Graduate Diploma (Business Enterprise), The University of Adelaide ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART May 2011 ABSTRACT ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART It could be claimed that human space exploration started when the former Soviet Union (USSR) launched cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into Earth orbit on 12 April 1961. Since that time there have been numerous human space missions taking American astronauts to the Moon and international crews to orbiting space stations. Several space agencies are now working towards the next major space objective which is to send astronauts to Mars. This will undoubtedly be the most complex and far-reaching human space mission ever undertaken. Because of its large scale and potentially high cost it is inevitable that such a mission will be an international collaborative venture with a profile that will be world- wide. Although science, technology and engineering have made considerable contributions to human space missions and will be very much involved with a human Mars mission, there has been scant regard for artistic and cultural involvement in these missions. Space agencies have, however, realised the influence of public perception on space funding outcomes and for some time have strived to engage the public in these space missions. This has provided an opportunity for an art and cultural involvement, but there is a problem for art engaging with space missions as currently there is no artform specific to understanding and tackling the issues of art beyond our planet.

The book does make a number of important historical points. Andreas Campomar. More The World New Made: Figurative Painting in the Twentieth Century Doors open at In The World New Madecritic Timothy Hyman argues that abstraction was just one of the means by which artists renewed pictorial language. Format: Hardback. This event will be followed by a book signing. Yet along with such happy and grateful assent, the book inspires vital arguments around the responsibility of painters, the progress and even the purpose of painting in the modern world. Those students will read this book too; and it might just affect them as he hopes. A major exhibition at Tate Britain offers a welcome opportunity to take in a broad view of an artist who reinvigorated art. He was elected an RA in Reviews The World New Made: Figurative Painting In The Twentieth Century Andreas Campomar. And I did absorb some new information from The stars are for an attractive, well illustrated book. The canon might also be enlarged to include a painter as unfairly neglected as Ken Kiff, who more than holds his own on these pages in exalted company.

Working in Baroda and gaining recognition throughout the 80’s and 90’s, Khakhar was a pioneering voice in queer aesthetics in context of South Asian modernism. This paper examines the last phase of his career before his death in 2003, in which the artist traded out images of homoerotic jouissance for pictures depicting gore, disease, and the macabre. I argue that death’s intimate connection with queer identity helps provide an ontological bridge between his earlier work and his ‘late style.’ I first give an overview of the stakes of inserting a queer visual lexicon in the modern moment, comparing India’s experience of modernity to the canonical moment in nineteenth century France for corollaries. before giving a broad overview of the artist’s biography, as well ii as the scholarship that has already been conducted on him.

    A Chodzko Sept 2020 1 CV Adam Chodzko Adam Chodzko lives and works in Whitstable, Kent Born in London, 1965 Education: University of Manchester, BA (Hons) History of Art, 1985–88 Goldsmiths College, London, MA Fine Art, 1992–94 ♦ http://www.adamchodzko.com/ Selected video work : https://vimeo.com/adamchodzko ♦ Adam Chodzko is an artist working across media, exploring our conscious and unconscious behaviour, social relations and collective imaginations through artworks that are propositions for alternative forms of ‘social media.’ Exhibiting work nationally and internationally since 1991, his work speculates how, through the visual, we might best connect with others. ♦ Adam Chodzko’s art explores the interactions and possibilities of human behaviour by investigating the space of consciousness between how we are and what we might be. Working across media, from video installation to subtle interventions, with a practice that is situated both within the gallery and the wider public realm, his work investigates and invents possibilities for collective imagination, wondering ‘how might we perceive better’? Through questioning the act of seeing, Chodzko explores how, through art (with its potential to both be visionary and blinding; an ‘image filter’) we can reveal concealed realities, ‘hauntings’, lying dormant within the everyday. His practice operates between documentary and fantasy, conceptualism and surrealism and public and private space. Chodzko often engages reflexively and directly with the role of the viewer so that the work appears to be in the process of ‘making itself’ through looking. His practice turns everyday personal experience into ‘science fictions’ or ‘speculative fictions’ following a path in the present towards its alternative realities, its hyperstitions.

    This manuscript is the penultimate form of the essay as it appeared in the publication cited below. The text is one stage short of the final version agreed upon by the author and editor of the particular publication. If the essay was published in more than one publication, versions of the form it finally assumed are available in the books/anthologies/catalogs listed below. Publication(s): • ‘Bhupen Khakhar’, in Bhupen Khakhar, in retrospective exh. cat., Museo Nacional, Centro de Arte, Reina Sofia, Madrid, 2002. Bhupen Khakhar Geeta Kapur Strategies Bhupen Khakhar’s entry into the art scene in the mid-1960s sets up radically different representational modalities in relation to the existing tendencies in twentieth-century Indian art. It also establishes a different set of equations between Indian and contemporary western art. (1) The two-sided critique, of Indian and western modernism, retrospectively readable in Khakhar’s work may be collapsed into a single event: the ‘crisis’ within modernist art by the 1960s . But today this self-referring art-historical explanation can hardly suffice. The process of deconstructing the universalist claims of modernism, underway in postwar/ mid-century rearticulations of art and politics, has been further charged by the century-long struggle against colonialism and the volatile nature of cultural alternatives that emerge thereon. The current rewriting of cultural (consequently, literature, cinema and art ) histories will show that the decisive break in modernist art practices in the 1960s requires an inscription of the unique role of artists from outside the western mainstream. These artists have questioned, from their own historical vantage point, the fact of a modernist hegemony with the aim of loosening the hold of a one-dimensional (western) internationalism.
