English language. doi: 10.1386/tear.4.3.169/1 Art games: Interactivity and the embodied gaze Graham Coulter-Smith Southampton Solent University Elizabeth Coulter-Smith Staffordshire University Abstract Keywords One of the most salient differences between fine art and new media art lies in art games the possibility for interactivity. Interactivity is not simply an inherent quality of art into life new media, it also relates to a crucial ethico-aesthetic premise informing decon- creativity structive art from Dada and Surrealism through radical art of the 1960s and installation art 1970s and into the present. The ethico-aesthetic premise in question concerns interactive art breaking down the barrier between the viewer and the work of art and bringing relational aesthetics art into life. More specifically the goal is to bring creativity into everyday life as an antidote to alienation and reification. Whereas new media art finds it rela- tively easy to devise art games that encourage creative involvement on the part of the viewer, fine art is severely hindered in its attempts in this direction by the traditional focus on the artist-genius and the transformation of the artistic prod- uct (whatever its material) into a precious object. It will be shown that creative games exist in fine art but they are for the most part designed by the artist for the artist. This is even the case with the most radical fine artists celebrated at the turn of the millennium such as Rirkrit Tiravanija who Nicolas Bourriaud put forward as a prime instance of so-called relational aesthetics.

  • Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years
    Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years by Ron Michael, Curator, Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery Extended Essay - August 2012 Seeking Beauty Henry Varnum Poor is an important name not only for those interested in the history of Kansas or American art, but for Angular detail of Self Portrait, circa those who celebrate bountiful lives. Determined to follow his own 1917, lithograph, size unknown. path, he was committed to a life based on unadorned pursuits and a constant search for beauty. He once wrote to friend and fellow artist Birger Sandzén, “I want to make beautiful things so as to make our living as beautiful as possible.”1 Developing and using his multi-faceted talents, he also lived a life of great variety. At various times in his life he combined one or more professions as an artist, craftsman, builder, writer, teacher, organizer, administrator, evaluator and more. He was the perennial “jack-of-all-trades,” or perhaps more appropriately, a “renaissance man.” Just within the arts he explored a vast array of differing media – oils, watercolors, ceramics, pastels, drawings, frescos, etchings, lithography, woodworking, textiles, and illustration. He seemed to turn everything he touched into art. Perhaps nowhere is this better evident than the house he designed and constructed near New City, New York. Dubbed Crow House it was conceived as a place of comfort for his family – away from, but still accessible to, the bustling metropolis of New York and other Eastern cities. As he continued to write in his letter to Birger Sandzén, “The joy and satisfaction in making the house has been tremendous, and the future work of carving and painting our huge beams and stones will be great.

    DARA BIRNBAUM 8 NOVEMBER 201 8 – 12 JANUARY, 2019 OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY 8 NOVEMBER 2018 , 6– 8pm “Her use of video and found footage, her editing and image processing are groundbreaking…. This is our visual language.” -Eva Respini, Barbara Lee Chief Curator, ICA, Boston Marian Goodman Gallery London is delighted to present an exhibition of works by Dara Birnbaum, with special focus on her large-scale video installations from the 1990s. The exhibition will open on 8 November 2018, running until 12 January 2019. Birnbaum’s practice has long been concerned with the lexicon of broadcasting and communication and the way ‘truths’ are delivered to the viewer. An early proponent of video art, Birnbaum began by isolating imagery from television, recontextualising it in an attempt to understand its true meaning. For the first time since her major 2009/2010 travelling retrospective, The Dark Matter of Media Light, the three works Tiananmen Square: Break-In Transmission, 1990, Transmission Tower: Sentinel, 1992 and Hostage, 1994, will be shown Transmission Tower: Sentinel, 1992.

All three pieces were made in response to major political events in the latter part of Documenta IX commission, Kassel, Germany, 1992. the 20th century, as a way to uncover the complex relationship between the media, the events covered and the way in which those events are presented to the public. On view in the side galleries will be a selection of two-dimensional works focusing on the anonymous street posters from the May 68 protests in France, as well as the series Lesson Plans (To Keep the Revolution Alive), 1977, which formed the basis of the artist’s first exhibition, at Artists Space in New York in 1977.
