  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • Off Museum! Performance Art That Turned the Street Into 'Theatre,' Circa 1964 Tokyo
    Performance Paradigm 2 (March 2006) Off Museum! Performance Art That Turned the Street into ‘Theatre,’ Circa 1964 Tokyo Midori Yoshimoto Performance art was an integral part of the urban fabric of Tokyo in the late 1960s. The so- called angura, the Japanese abbreviation for ‘underground’ culture or subculture, which mainly referred to film and theatre, was in full bloom. Most notably, Tenjô Sajiki Theatre, founded by the playwright and film director Terayama Shûji in 1967, and Red Tent, founded by Kara Jûrô also in 1967, ruled the underground world by presenting anti-authoritarian plays full of political commentaries and sexual perversions. The butoh dance, pioneered by Hijikata Tatsumi in the late 1950s, sometimes spilled out onto streets from dance halls. Students’ riots were ubiquitous as well, often inciting more physically violent responses from the state. Street performances, however, were introduced earlier in the 1960s by artists and groups, who are often categorised under Anti-Art, such as the collectives Neo Dada (originally known as Neo Dadaism Organizer; active 1960) and Zero Jigen (Zero Dimension; active 1962-1972). In the beginning of Anti-Art, performances were often by-products of artists’ non-conventional art-making processes in their rebellion against the artistic institutions. Gradually, performance art became an autonomous artistic expression. This emergence of performance art as the primary means of expression for vanguard artists occurred around 1964. A benchmark in this aesthetic turning point was a group exhibition and outdoor performances entitled Off Museum. The recently unearthed film, Aru wakamono-tachi (Some Young People), created by Nagano Chiaki for the Nippon Television Broadcasting in 1964, documents the performance portion of Off Museum, which had been long forgotten in Japanese art history.

  • Is Marina Abramović the World's Best-Known Living Artist? She Might
    Abrams, Amah-Rose. “Marina Abramovic: A Woman’s World.” Sotheby’s. May 10, 2021 Is Marina Abramović the world’s best-known living artist? She might well be. Starting out in the radical performance art scene in the early 1970s, Abramović went on to take the medium to the masses. Working with her collaborator and partner Ulay through the 1980s and beyond, she developed long durational performance art with a focus on the body, human connection and endurance. In The Lovers, 1998, she and Ulay met in the middle of the Great Wall of China and ended their relationship. For Balkan Baroque, 1997, she scrubbed clean a huge number of cow bones, winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for her work. And in The Artist is Present 2010, performed at MoMA in New York, she sat for eight hours a day engaging in prolonged eye contact over three months – it was one of the most popular exhibits in the museum’s history. Since then, she has continued to raise the profile of artists around the world by founding the Marina Abramović Institute, her organisation aimed at expanding the accessibility of time- based work and creating new possibilities for collaboration among thinkers of all fields. MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ / ULAY, THE LOVERS, MARCH–JUNE 1988, A PERFORMANCE THAT TOOK PLACE ACROSS 90 DAYS ON THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA. © MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ AND ULAY, COURTESY: THE MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ ARCHIVES / DACS 2021. Fittingly for someone whose work has long engaged with issues around time, Marina Abramović has got her lockdown routine down. She works out, has a leisurely breakfast, works during the day and in the evening, she watches films.

  • Untranslating the Neo-Avant-Gardes Luke Skrebowski
    INTRODUCTION UnTranslaTing The neo-aVanT-garDes luke skrebowski This guest-edited issue aims to trouble assumptions about the trans- latability of various global neo-avant-gardes into canonical Anglo- American terms and categories—including Pop, Minimalism, Conceptualism—however problematized and expanded they may be in the process. The assumptions I have in mind tend to prop up the cul- tural hegemony of Western institutions by means of a logic of inclusion that serves to reinforce rather than destabilize the status quo. To this end, this issue foregrounds the problem of translation, and specifi cally the fi gure of “the untranslatable,” to address the mediation of global neo-avant-gardes in a more refl exive way, going beyond the often nebu- lous and frequently one-sided notions of “infl uence,” “interaction,” or “contact” that continue to characterize much of the discourse on the global neo-avant-gardes. The notion of the untranslatable is borrowed from Barbara Cassin, via Emily Apter and Jacques Lezra, and is developed here for comparative work in, but also in a certain sense against, global art his- tory. Cassin’s multilingual philosophical lexicon Vocabulaire européen des philosophies: Dictionnaire des intraduisibles (2004) consists of a select number of terms drawn from particular national and linguistic philosophical traditions which are chosen precisely for their “untrans- latability,” a term that, as Cassin insists, “n’implique nullement que les termes en question . ne soient pas traduits et ne puissent pas 4 © 2018 ARTMargins and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology doi:10.1162/ARTM_e_00206 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/artm_e_00206 by guest on 26 September 2021 l’être—l’intraduisible c’est plutôt ce qu’on ne cesse pas de (ne pas) traduire.” (“In no way implies that the terms in question .

  • Conceptual Art
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-06-30-03 idil, 2017, Cilt 6, Sayı 30, Volume 6, Issue 30 FROM OBJECT TO IMAGE – IMAGE TO OBJECT: CONCEPTUAL ART Yurdagül KILIÇ1 ABSTRACT Conceptual art considered to have emerged as a new understanding in the late 1960’s and leading to great conflicts within the art world is an understanding which opposes to art’s being limited to such specific categories as painting and sculpture and to art works’ being exhibited in galleries and museums, and is an understanding where object loses its significance and thought becomes vital. The art movements rising with postmodernism from 20th century onwards caused the object which is the main subject of art to bear different meanings at a different place and a different time. In the age of postmodernism art is everywhere and in everything and thus the limitation to image cannot be considered.The starting point of the conceptual art which developed in opposition to commercialization of art and the formalist art theory has been examined in this study. The information and emerging findings as a result of the scanning of related literature, one of qualitative research methods, has been assessed within this context.
