  • Mediating Internet Art Curatorial Modes in Tangible and Virtual Domains
    MEDIATING INTERNET ART CURATORIAL MODES IN TANGIBLE AND VIRTUAL DOMAINS Jonathon Austin Lourenço Pereira Dissertação de Mestrado em Estudos Artísticos apresentada à Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto Orientadora: Profª. Doutora Catarina Carneiro de Sousa Porto, 2018 MEDIATING INTERNET ART CURATORIAL MODES IN TANGIBLE AND VIRTUAL DOMAINS by Jonathon Austin Lourenço Pereira A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art Studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto Supervised by Catarina Carneiro de Sousa Porto, 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Internet Art and its mediation efforts. As a practice with now more than 20 years of existence, Internet Art is still greatly marginalized from art institutional settings for its inferior status in comparison with tangible auratic artworks. The curatorial field of knowledge has been hardly handling the discussion of how technology has been transforming modes of production and mediation of art. The central aim here is to understand how Internet Art has been and can be mediated in online and tangible settings. The Literature Review has surveyed a broad range of writings about New Media Art and Internet Art in combination with direct engagement with artworks. This had the purpose of gaining insight into what Internet Art consists in, its behaviors and construction. To explore how Internet Art has been exhibited, preserved, and distributed, the research followed a multiple case studies method. It delved into five cases of mediation efforts related to Internet Art in both online and tangible settings. These have been surveyed qualitatively based on direct observation and engagement and secondary sources, such as exhibition reviews, curator statements, and audience input.

INTERVENTIONS is a project organized in partnership with Battery Park City Authority that focuses on parallel exhibitions of the work of Mildred Howard and Ned Smyth. Both are noted artists who have created distinguished bodies of work and have extensive histories of creating public art works, and each currently have works on view in the public parks and open spaces of Battery Park City. The role of public art in New York City has evolved dramatically from early state- sanctioned monuments. The 1960s and 70s saw a fundamental rethinking of the role of public art as New York began to adopt its use as a way to reshape urban spaces. John Lindsay (who became mayor of New York City in 1966) and members of his administration played a critical role as proponents of public art, embracing the free and democratic exhibition of artworks throughout the city’s parks and civic spaces. They felt that sculpture played a crucial role in revitalizing streets and plazas and promoting public spaces as inviting and safe.

  • The Art Show at the Armory: Blue-Chip Brands Show Their Best This Year’S ADAA Fair Has an Impressive Roundup of Work by Lesser-Known Art- Ists and Female Trailblazers
    The Art Show at the Armory: Blue-Chip Brands Show Their Best This year’s ADAA fair has an impressive roundup of work by lesser-known art- ists and female trailblazers. By Martha Schwendener Published 2/27/20 Visitors at the gala preview of the Art Show, the annual fair sponsored by the Art Dealers Association of America in the Park Avenue Armory.Credit...Rebecca Smeyne for The New York Times Trust me, even if you’ve been looking at art for a long, long time (or even longer than that), you will see work at the Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory you have not seen before, by artists you may never have heard of. This is not because the Art Show, organized by the Art Dealers Association of America to benefit Henry Street Settlement, is dedicated to showing the young and hip. Quite the opposite, ADAA represents blue- chip galleries that show high-quality work. But it has a terrific roundup of art by lesser-known artists, many dead or left out of art history for all the ordinary reasons (gender, geographical location or the idiosyncrasies of their work at a given moment). And despite the density, the fair is very manageable compared with other mega-fairs in New York. 600 Washington Square South Philadelphia PA 19106 tel 215.629.1000 fax 215.629.3868 [email protected] www.locksgallery.com Other strains running through the 72 exhibitors at ADAA this year, the fair’s 32nd edition, are a focus on geometric abstraction and craft and a high percentage of female artists — 19 exhibitions are dedicated to them.

    ART EDUCATION AND NEW MEDIA: UNDERSTANDING THE ROLES OF ARTISTS AND EDUCATORS IN THE AGE OF IMMEDIACY by Anna Ryoo B.F.A., The University of British Columbia, 2004 B.Ed., The University of British Columbia, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Art Education) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) August 2014 © Anna Ryoo, 2014 ABSTRACT This thesis is an act of inquiry into the entangled relationship between new media and art and how art education should re-position itself towards the cultural, political, and social shifts brought on by new media. By positioning new media as an entity yet-to-be-understood, I drew upon Marshall McLuhan’s writings as well as diverse and intersecting views of new media from debates and discussions occurring in multiple fields of studies. These are offered in the hopes of providing various spaces in which we may think about what art and art education is and can be as well as to expose the complexity behind thinking about the relationships among the following terms: contemporary, new, media, art, and education. Questions raised in this study do not stem from a mode of resistance nor celebration, but rather from the positions of being an educator, an artist, and a researcher who seeks to critically and reflexively examine and make sense of her role and that of others in this creative ecology. Toward the end of this journey, it became more evident that new media indeed needs to be embraced and its potentials recognized if art education is to revitalize its curricula and pedagogies.
