  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • Cyberarts: Intersections of Art and Technology Gunalan Nadarajan
    Cyberarts: Intersections of Art and Technology Gunalan Nadarajan In the last few decades the art world has been flooded with a number of terms invented to define the developing artforms employing the so-called ’new“ technologies; for example, electronic arts, digital arts, media arts, new media and most recently, cyberarts. While all these terms have been variously useful in defining historically specific developments in contemporary artistic practice, term cyberarts has emerged as the most useful and inclusive. For example, the term Electronic Arts is historically-specific to some art practices from the sixties till the early eighties which were based on and operated via electronic systems. The term ’digital arts“ is also historically-specific to the digitisation technologies brought about by developments in computer graphics. These technologies have themselves been superceded by the so-called ’cybertechnologies“ of which digitization is merely one aspect. Moreover, the term digital arts in also limited by the type of authoring techniques used and images / sounds thus generated. However, it is noteworthy that the term ’digital arts“ enjoys and may continue to have currency in the contemporary art world. The term, ’cyberarts“ proposed here seeks to ultimately replace ’digital arts“ by providing a more comprehensive term to embrace artworks and practices that already go beyond ’digital media“ The most recent term that has been invoked to refer to these technologically driven developments in contemporary art is ’new media“. Lev Manovich, the media theorist, has in his recent book, The Language of New Media, identified five characteristics that conceptually distinguish ’new media“ from previous art forms.

    Access Provided by University Of Texas-San Antonio at 04/22/11 3:28PM GMT Introduction Jonathan P. Eburne and Rita Felski hat is an avant-garde? In posing such a question, this is- sue of New Literary History seeks to reexamine a category that Woften seems all too self-evident. Our aim is not to draw up a fresh list of definitions, specifications, and prescriptions but to explore the conditions and repercussions of the question itself. In the spirit of analogously titled queries—from Kant’s “What is Enlightenment?” to Foucault’s “What is an Author?”—we hope to spur reflection not only on a particular object of study but also on the frameworks and critical faculties that we bring to bear on it. As Paul Mann notes, every critical text on the avant-garde, whether tacitly or overtly, “has a stake in the avant-garde, in its force or destruction, in its survival or death (or both).”1 A reassessment of these stakes is one of the priorities of this special issue. Narratives of the avant-garde abound. Whether they come to bury the avant-garde or to praise it, these narratives are typically organized around moments of shock, rupture, and youthful revolt that speak to certain beliefs about the functions of experimental art and the nature of historical change. In his 1968 Theory of the Avant-Garde, for instance, Renato Poggioli describes two major phases in the development of the avant-garde. The first stage is anchored in the leftist politics of the 1840s and the 1870s, where the notion of an advanced guard serves to authorize the political agitations and underground activities that helped trigger the revolutionary events of 1848 and the Paris Commune.
