Fondata nel giugno del 2003 per iniziativa di Alessandro Catalano e Simone Guagnelli, esce con regolarita` dal 30 settembre 2003 e ha dato alla luce finora quattro numeri: idealmente quindi oggi festeggiamo il nostro primo compleanno on-line. Lo facciamo ringraziando tutti coloro che hanno contribuito al nostro successo, ovvero tutti i lettori che hanno portato il contatore del nostro sito a oltre 8000 visite e quello dei pdf “scaricati” a quota 2000, i sessantasette autori che hanno scelto di pubblicare con noi 9 dialoghi, 29 articoli, 8 ristampe, 22 traduzioni, 3 ankety, 2 bibliografie, 76 recensioni, il tutto racchiuso in oltre 1000 pagine della rivista. Ci piace ricordare anche che i redattori di importanti riviste internazionali del settore hanno ritenuto opportuno segnalare la nostra rivista, in particolare ringraziamo i curatori di Literarn´ ´ı Noviny che hanno pubblicato una recensione firmata da Karel Brav´ ek (Literarn´ ´ı Noviny, 2004, 33, p. 9), disponibile anche in rete1. Nonostante quanto immaginato dal simpatico recensore, ci teniamo pero` a sottolineare che a tutt'oggi non godiamo di nessun sostegno economico esterno, ne´ di favori di alcun tipo da parte di istituzioni e associazioni universitarie, andiamo avanti con le forze di cui disponiamo: le nostre e quelle del nostro comitato di redazione e di tutti coloro che numero dopo numero sacrificano il proprio tempo per darci una mano. Ad esempio in questo numero ci sono stati di aiuto prezioso Marina Sorina e Martin Vala´ˇsek che ringraziamo affettuosamente. Sempre in questo numero l'intera sezione Articoli esce a cura di Maria Chiara Ferro e Catia Renna e ospita i contributi di un seminario di studi italo-francese svoltosi a Roma il 23–24 gennaio 2004. Gentilissimi si sono sempre rivelati anche coloro che ci hanno concesso le interviste (a volte anche provocatorie) che noi continuiamo a pubblicare nella loro versione originale anche quando le nostre idee sull'evoluzione degli ultimi quindici anni (in Russia e altrove) non sempre concordano con quelle degli intervistati. I numerosi complimenti che abbiamo finora ricevuto e il confronto del nostro lavoro con quello di istituzioni dalle potenzialita` economiche decisamente superiori alle nostre ci sembrano i migliori auguri per questo nostro primo compleanno: a questo punto siamo ormai sicuri che saremo qui anche tra un anno a festeggiare di nuovo, visto che il primo numero del 2005 (in uscita alla fine di febbraio) e` in stato avanzato di lavorazione. In questa prospettiva, vogliamo qui sottolinearlo, la Redazione di eSamizdat ha ritenuto doveroso, nella re- lazione annuale sulle attivita` svolte, sostenere anche le analoghe iniziative di cui da tempo si vocifera. A questo punto non ci resta che augurarvi buona lettura, Alessandro Catalano & Simone Guagnelli www.esamizdat.it 1 <http://www.literarky.cz/?context=literatura&mode=art&issue code=2004 33xion=literatura&art=10726&seg=0&session=18567> Dialoghi “L'occidente, con le sue categorie razionali, 9–13 A cura di Silvia Burini e Gian Piero Piretto non riesce ad abbracciare la bellezza”.

  • In Conversation with Adam Pendleton: What Is Black Dada?
    In conversation with Adam Pendleton: What is Black Dada? Awa Konaté James Baldwin once said, ‘we used to think of history as the realm of the settled as an inalterable past, as a nightmare. That was the legacy bequeathed us by the past century’s catastrophes. But while we can never redeem what has been lost, versions of the past are forever being reconstructed in our fabrication of the present.’1 Although Baldwin enumerated these words in 1972, today’s volatile political moments and relations reminds us that the past is repeatedly embedded, and evermore so, in our present sphere. Baldwin comments on the interrelations between past and present realities as a continuum of cultural and historical notions that constitute the very materiality of our social fabric as ever persistent, suggesting the past is never past but an ongoing rupture in the present. Adam Pendleton is an artist whose unwinnable and complex layered practice is exceptionally occupied with Baldwin’s declarative statement. With a career spanning nearly two decades, Pendleton has situated the intersections of race, belonging, cultural politics and art history as varying constructions that are rearticulated and imposed in the very centre of our ‘Contemporary’ – not merely in order to inquire ‘how’ and ‘what if’ but to push the very logic that constitutes their historical and social functions. My first encounter with Adam Pendleton was his large ‘Black Lives’ banner at the Venice Biennale’s Belgian pavilion in 2015.2 The context was stupendous, the banner’s dominating and large scaled presence appeared to almost ‘devour’ the white cubed pavilion by forcing the centrality of its race relations.

  • The Origins and Meanings of Non-Objective Art by Adam Mccauley
    The Origins and Meanings of Non-Objective Art The Origins and Meanings of Non-Objective Art Adam McCauley, Studio Art- Painting Pope Wright, MS, Department of Fine Arts ABSTRACT Through my research I wanted to find out the ideas and meanings that the originators of non- objective art had. In my research I also wanted to find out what were the artists’ meanings be it symbolic or geometric, ideas behind composition, and the reasons for such a dramatic break from the academic tradition in painting and the arts. Throughout the research I also looked into the resulting conflicts that this style of art had with critics, academia, and ultimately governments. Ultimately I wanted to understand if this style of art could be continued in the Post-Modern era and if it could continue its vitality in the arts today as it did in the past. Introduction Modern art has been characterized by upheavals, break-ups, rejection, acceptance, and innovations. During the 20th century the development and innovations of art could be compared to that of science. Science made huge leaps and bounds; so did art. The innovations in travel and flight, the finding of new cures for disease, and splitting the atom all affected the artists and their work. Innovative artists and their ideas spurred revolutionary art and followers. In Paris, Pablo Picasso had fragmented form with the Cubists. In Italy, there was Giacomo Balla and his Futurist movement. In Germany, Wassily Kandinsky was working with the group the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), and in Russia Kazimer Malevich was working in a style that he called Suprematism.

  • The Authenticity of Ambiguity: Dada and Existentialism
    THE AUTHENTICITY OF AMBIGUITY: DADA AND EXISTENTIALISM by ELIZABETH FRANCES BENJAMIN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii - ABSTRACT - Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical approaches to Dada as a quintessential part of the European Avant-Garde, this thesis performs a reassessment of the movement as a form of (proto-)Existentialist philosophy. The thesis represents the first major comparative study of Dada and Existentialism, contributing a new perspective on Dada as a movement, a historical legacy, and a philosophical field of study.

  • Âme D'automne (Autumn Soul)
    Armand Point (French 1860 - 1932) Âme d’Automne (Autumn Soul) Pastel on brown paper. Signed APoint at the lower right. 483 x 645 mm. (19 x 25 3/8 in.) This beautiful pastel portrait was exhibited by Armand Point, with the title Âme d’Automne, at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts on the Champ de Mars in Paris in 1893. A contemporary photograph of the exhibition shows the present work hanging alongside nine other highly finished pastel paintings of young women by the artist. All of the works shown by Point at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts of 1893 were much admired by critics, and two of the pastels were purchased by the State. The model for this pastel portrait was Point’s companion and muse, Hélène Linder (1867-1955), who met the artist around 1886. Linder posed for several of his finest paintings, drawings, pastels and prints of the 1890’s. As the Point scholar Robert Doré has noted of the artist, ‘his observations focused on Hélène...she remained his preferred model until the end of the century...She was above all the inspiration and muse of Armand Point who would, thanks to her, know a period of exceptional creativity.’ Hélène Linder and Point lived together at Marlotte for nearly eight years. This period, as Doré has noted, accounts for some of ‘the artist’s finest works [in] the most brilliantly creative period in his career. These works are a testament to the deep tenderness that unified them, and the enthusiasm they shared in Marlotte.’ Point and Linder remained together until 1899, when Hélène met and eventually married the diplomat Philippe Berthelot.

  • Artist's Proposal
    Gabbert Artist’s Proposal 14th Street Roundabout Page 434 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for this opportunity. For your consideration I propose a work tentatively titled “Flame”. I believe it to be simple-yet- compelling, symbolic, and appropriate to this setting. Dimensions will be 20 feet high by 14.5 feet wide by 14.5 feet deep. It sits on a 3.5 feet high by 9 feet in diameter base. (not accurately dimensioned in the 3D graphics) The composition. The design has substance, and yet, there is practically no impediment to drivers’ visibility. After review of the design by a structural engineer the flame flicks may need to be pierced with openings to meet the 150 mph wind velocity requirement. I see no problem in adjusting the design to accommodate any change like this. Fire can represent our passions, zeal, creativity, and motivation. The “flame” can suggest the light held by the Statue of Liberty, the fire from Prometheus, the spirit of the city, and the hearth-fire of 612.207.8895 | jgsculpture.webs.com | [email protected] 14th Street Roundabout Page 435 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor home. It would be lit at night with a soft glow from within. A flame creates a sense of place because everyone is drawn to a fire. A flame sheds light and warmth. Reference my “Hopes and Dreams” in my work example to get a sense of what this would look like. The four circles suggest unity and wholeness, or, the circle of life, or, the earth/universe.

This exhibition delves into the agricultural heritage of Florence Griswold’s family estate, the Lyme region and beyond, to examine the complex history and character of New England’s farms. Paintings, drawings, and photographs by artists from the 1830s to the present day will trace the unique challenges of farming in New England. The Museum’s property is itself a case study of family farms in New England. Purchased by the Griswolds in 1841, these grounds became a country estate with barns, an orchard, gardens, and riverfront pastures where the family practiced small-scale farming during Florence’s childhood.

Their art is their performance. ● Being entertainment is the artist's concession as they create their art. ● The feeling of being an outcast comes from knowing that many people view their art as solely entertainment. ● Many people from the general public did not take the time to understand the heart of the artworks.
