Press Release: Jose Dávila, Das Muss
Press Release: Jose Dávila, Das muss der Ort sein. Opening: September 6, 2013 at 6.00 pm, the artist will be present. Exhibition: September 7 through November 2, 2013. We inaugurate on September 6 during DC-Open Das muss der Ort sein (This Must Be the Place), our second exhibition with the Mexican artist Jose Dávila (born 1974 in Guadalajara, Mexico). It is his first exhibition in the Rhineland. We are glad to show five sculptures and three of his Cut-outs. Cut-outs are works for which Dávila cuts away the central objects from enlarged re- productions of iconic architectures or artworks in order to induce our imagination or cultural memory to complete the images. By framing these images (or what remains of them) between two sheets of glass, a new spatial image is created in particular by the voids. Because there is a shadow cast on the back of the frame. One could say: the depicted object leaves, a new object comes. In our current exhibition the removed objects are artworks from the last 60 years, that is, sculptures and installations by Giovanni Anselmo, Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Alexander Calder, Anthony Caro, Liam Gillick, Michael Heizer, Norbert Kricke, Richard Long, Walter de Maria, Cildo Meireless, Bruce Nauman, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Richard Serra or Tony Smith. Many of these works belong to the canon of art history. Even if we do not immediately know who was the author of the removed object, we feel – as a knowledgeable viewer – that we know the works and that we have them in our mind's eye. -
Sylvia Plath: a Split in the Mirror Susan E
Plath Profiles 55 Sylvia Plath: A Split in the Mirror Susan E. Schwartz, Ph.D. I sit… Composed in Grecian tunic and psyche-knot, Rooted to your black look, the play turned tragic: Which such blight wrought on our bankrupt estate, What ceremony of words can patch the havoc? "Conversation Among the Ruins" (Plath, Collected Poems 21) Sylvia Plath's writing depicts the anguish of an unresolved and ambivalent attachment with her father. Her poetry, dreams and journal writings reveal the complexities of this relationship, its unconscious strands and blurred boundaries. Through the example of this poetess who killed herself at the age of thirty, I aim to show the complex interactions between daughters and fathers and the line between creativity and destruction. The death of Sylvia Plath's father when she was eight was a decisive experience shaping her life, an aspect drawing her towards death and representing the profound deprivation of this significant parental figure. She wrote in the poem, "Daddy": I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die and get back, back, back to you. (224) Sylvia Plath's words reverberate with paradox, graphically detailing extreme aspects of the distress of a daughter due to traumatic loss of her father. From the psychological destruction of this loss, she creatively wrote about its individual and collective proportions. She addresses the symptoms of our era—the media hype of women, technology and culture—all signifying spiritual, psychological and cultural lack. The passion fostering her creativity, however, is connected to a crushing father-complex affecting her attempts to transform in life which fought those forces uniting with her father in death. -

An Analysis from the Perspective of Artistic Intent Versus Audience Experience and Interpretation
. Volume 18, Issue 1 May 2021 The representation of audiences after 1960: An analysis from the perspective of artistic intent versus audience experience and interpretation Patrick Van Rossem, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Abstract: In The representation of the audiences after 1960, the question is asked whether we can consider the representation of the audience after 1960 in relation to artists’ ideas on the presence of an audience and its meaning giving activity. The focus is both on the representation of individual audience members or participants as well as on visitor groups. Since the 1960s the audience for art has grown and museums have seen their attendance rise. It has led amongst others to a more sophisticated mediation between artwork and audience. Since the 1960s one can also observe an increased awareness amongst artists of the fact that the experience of art and the attribution of meaning to art is differential in nature. But have artists accepted this reality? And can they ever come to terms with a critical art mediation that invites audiences to relate to art more subjectively? Analyses of both the representation of audiences and artists’ ideas on the presence of the audience shows that artists have been and are sometimes still struggling with these issues. In recent times however we can detect a growing acceptance of a more free and personal interpretation of art by the audience. Artists such as Michelangelo Pistoletto, Dan Graham, Bruce Nauman, Thomas Struth, Rineke Dijkstra, and Sophie Calle have represented audiences in ways that reveal their – positive, negative, worrying… - attitudes towards the presence of an interpreting, art consuming, desiring audience. -

The Reception of Palaeolithic Art at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: Between Archaeology and Art History
The reception of Palaeolithic art at the turn of the twentieth century: between archaeology and art history Oscar Moro Abadía If I am asked to define any further what I mean by ‘the primitive’ I must refer the reader to the pages of this book, which will show that the term was associated in its time with early Greek vases, with quattrocento painting and with tribal art.1 These words by Ernst Gombrich summarize some of the main meanings associated with the term ‘primitive’ in the field of art history. In its original sense, the word refers to a movement of taste that, in the story of art, runs parallel to the progress towards naturalism. According to Gombrich, while art history may be described as the story of how ‘the artist got better and better in the imitation of nature’,2 there have been a number of artistic movements that have called for a deliberate abandonment of classical standards.3 This ‘preference for the primitive’ has been expressed in ‘the revulsion from that very perfection that art had been said to aim at’.4 During the last years of the nineteenth century, the theory of evolution ‘gave a new meaning to the term ‘primitive’ which […] came to denote the beginnings of human civilization’.5 As a result of this development, the term ‘primitive art’ was incorporated into art historians’ vocabulary to refer to a set of non-Western arts coming from Africa, America and Oceania.6 At the beginning of the twentieth century, ‘primitive art’ was used interchangeably with terms such as ‘savage art’, ‘tribal art’ and ‘art nègre’.7 Since then, the label has been intensively criticized for Acknowledgements. -

A Review on Historical Earth Pigments Used in India's Wall Paintings
heritage Review A Review on Historical Earth Pigments Used in India’s Wall Paintings Anjali Sharma 1 and Manager Rajdeo Singh 2,* 1 Department of Conservation, National Museum Institute, Janpath, New Delhi 110011, India; [email protected] 2 National Research Laboratory for the Conservation of Cultural Property, Aliganj, Lucknow 226024, India * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Iron-containing earth minerals of various hues were the earliest pigments of the prehistoric artists who dwelled in caves. Being a prominent part of human expression through art, nature- derived pigments have been used in continuum through ages until now. Studies reveal that the primitive artist stored or used his pigments as color cakes made out of skin or reeds. Although records to help understand the technical details of Indian painting in the early periodare scanty, there is a certain amount of material from which some idea may be gained regarding the methods used by the artists to obtain their results. Considering Indian wall paintings, the most widely used earth pigments include red, yellow, and green ochres, making it fairly easy for the modern era scientific conservators and researchers to study them. The present knowledge on material sources given in the literature is limited and deficient as of now, hence the present work attempts to elucidate the range of earth pigments encountered in Indian wall paintings and the scientific studies and characterization by analytical techniques that form the knowledge background on the topic. Studies leadingto well-founded knowledge on pigments can contribute towards the safeguarding of Indian cultural heritage as well as spread awareness among conservators, restorers, and scholars. -
