More impor- tantly, the artist himself favored a formalist interpretation since the late 1930s, which has all but precluded historical approaches to his work except for a few notable exceptions.2 The critic Cesare Brandi, who inaugurated the formalist discourse on Morandi, wrote in 1939 that “nothing is less abstract, less uproot- ed from the world, less indifferent to pain, less deaf to joy than this painting, which apparently retreats to the margins of life and interests itself, withdrawn, in dusty kitchen cupboards.”3 In order to further remove Morandi from the 1.

  • As I Exemplify: an Examination of the Musical-Literary Relationship in the Work of John Cage LYNLEY EDMEADES
    As I Exemplify: An Examination of the Musical-Literary Relationship in the Work of John Cage LYNLEY EDMEADES A thesis submitted for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand June 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the ways in which John Cage negotiates the space between musical and literary compositions. It identifies and analyses the various tensions that a transposition between music and text engenders in Cage’s work, from his turn to language in the verbal score for 4’ 33’’ (1952/1961), his use of performed and performative language in the literary text “Lecture on Nothing” (1949/1959), and his attempt to “musicate” language in the later text “Empty Words” (1974–75). The thesis demonstrates the importance of the tensions that occur between music and literature in Cage’s paradoxical attempts to make works of “silence,” “nothing,” and “empty words,” and through an examination of these tensions, I argue that our experience of Cage’s work is varied and manifold. Through close attention to several performances of Cage’s work— by both himself and others—I elucidate how he mines language for its sonic possibilities, pushing it to the edge of semantic meaning, and how he turns from systems of representation in language to systems of exemplification. By attending to the structures of expectation generated by both music and literature, and how these inform our interpretation of Cage’s work, I argue for a new approach to Cage’s work that draws on contemporary affect theory. Attending to the affective dynamics and affective engagements generated by Cage’s work allows for an examination of the importance of pre-semiotic, pre-structural responses to his work and his performances.

Deposit guide Contact: email “What can’t be coded can be decorded” Reading Writing Performing Finnegans Wake Oliver Rory Thomas Evans Phd Thesis School of Arts, Birkbeck College, University of London (2016) 2 3 This thesis examines the ways in which performances of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939) navigate the boundary between reading and writing. I consider the extent to which performances enact alternative readings of Finnegans Wake, challenging notions of competence and understanding; and by viewing performance as a form of writing I ask whether Joyce’s composition process can be remembered by its recomposition into new performances. These perspectives raise questions about authority and archivisation, and I argue that performances of Finnegans Wake challenge hierarchical and institutional forms of interpretation. By appropriating Joyce’s text through different methodologies of reading and writing I argue that these performances come into contact with a community of ghosts and traces which haunt its composition. In chapter one I argue that performance played an important role in the composition and early critical reception of Finnegans Wake and conduct an overview of various performances which challenge the notion of a ‘Joycean competence’ or encounter the text through radical recompositions of its material.

  • Futurism's Photography
    Futurism’s Photography: From fotodinamismo to fotomontaggio Sarah Carey University of California, Los Angeles The critical discourse on photography and Italian Futurism has proven to be very limited in its scope. Giovanni Lista, one of the few critics to adequately analyze the topic, has produced several works of note: Futurismo e fotografia (1979), I futuristi e la fotografia (1985), Cinema e foto- grafia futurista (2001), Futurism & Photography (2001), and most recently Il futurismo nella fotografia (2009).1 What is striking about these titles, however, is that only one actually refers to “Futurist photography” — or “fotografia futurista.” In fact, given the other (though few) scholarly studies of Futurism and photography, there seems to have been some hesitancy to qualify it as such (with some exceptions).2 So, why has there been this sense of distacco? And why only now might we only really be able to conceive of it as its own genre? This unusual trend in scholarly discourse, it seems, mimics closely Futurism’s own rocky relationship with photography, which ranged from an initial outright distrust to a later, rather cautious acceptance that only came about on account of one critical stipulation: that Futurist photography was neither an art nor a formal and autonomous aesthetic category — it was, instead, an ideological weapon. The Futurists were only able to utilize photography towards this end, and only with the further qualification that only certain photographic forms would be acceptable for this purpose: the portrait and photo-montage. It is, in fact, the very legacy of Futurism’s appropriation of these sub-genres that allows us to begin to think critically about Futurist photography per se.

  • Caffeina E Vodka Italia E Russia: Futurismi a Confronto Claudia Salaris
    Caffeina e vodka Italia e Russia: futurismi a confronto Claudia Salaris Il viaggio di Marinetti in Russia Negli anni eroici del futurismo il fondatore Filippo Tommaso Marinetti era noto con il soprannome di “Caffeina d’Europa” per l’energia con cui diffondeva la religione del futuro da un paese all’altro. Uno dei suoi viaggi memorabili è quello in Russia all’inizio del 1914 1. Invitato a tenere un ciclo di conferenze a Mosca e a Pietroburgo, Il poeta ha accettato con entusiasmo, pensando a un patto d’unità d’azione con i fratelli orientali. Infatti nella terra degli zar il futurismo è nato con caratteristiche proprie,ma è sempre un parente stretto del movimento marinettiano. Nelle realizzazioni dell’avanguardia russa non sono pochi gli echi delle teorie e invenzioni del futurismo marinettiano. Ma, al contrario degli italiani che formano una specie di partito d’artisti omogeneo, i russi sono sparsi in diversi gruppi. Nel 1910 è uscita a Pietroburgo l’antologia Il vivaio dei giudici , a cui hanno collaborato, tra gli altri, i fratelli David e Nikolaj Burljuk, Elena Guro, Vasilij Kamenskij, Viktor Chlebnikov. A costoro presto si sono uniti Vladimir Majakovskij, Benedikt Livshich, Alexandr Kruchënych e alla fine del 1912 il gruppo, che intanto ha assunto il nome di Gileja, pubblica il volume Schiaffo al gusto corrente , che nel titolo rivela la matrice marinettiana, ricalcando il “disprezzo del pubblico” promulgato dal poeta italiano. Il libro collettivo contiene un editoriale-manifesto in cui i gilejani, rifiutando il passato e le accademie, esortano i giovani a “gettare Pushkin, Dostoevskij, Tolstoj, ecc.

  • Photo/Arts MY DEAR MALEVICH (MDM)
    TOM R. CHAMBERS - Photo/Arts Highlights from his personal website. Many of the links on the page go back to the website for greater detailing. Tom R. Chambers is a documentary photographer and visual artist, and he is currently working with the pixel as Minimalist Art ("Pixelscapes") and Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square" ("Black Square Interpretations"). He has over 100 exhibitions to his credit. His "My Dear Malevich" project has received international acclaim, and it was shown as a part of the "Suprematism Infinity: Reflections, Interpretations, Explorations" exhibition in conjunction with the "100 Years of Suprematism" conference at Columbia University, New York City (2015). MY DEAR MALEVICH (MDM) "My Dear Malevich" This homage to Kazimir Malevich is a confirmation of Tom R. Chambers' Pixelscapes as Minimalist Art and in keeping with Malevich's Suprematism - the feeling of non-objectivity - the creation of a sense of bliss and wonder via abstraction. Chambers' action of looking within a portrait (photo) of Kazimir Malevich to find the basic component(s), pixel(s) is the same action as Malevich looking within himself - inside the objective world - for a pure feeling in creative art to find his "Black Square", "Black Cross" and other Suprematist works. And there's a mathematical parallel between Malevich's primitive square ("Black Square") ... divided into four, then divided into nine ("Black Cross") ... and Chambers' Pixelscapes. The pixel is the most basic component of any computer graphic, and it can be represented by 1 bit (a 1 if the pixel is black, or a 0 if the pixel is white). And filters (tools [e.g., halftone]) in a graphics program like Photoshop produce changes by mathematically modifying pixel values based on the values of neighboring pixels.
