14, 15, 16 April 2017 WELCOME HERAKUT, 2016 – IMAGE COURTESY THE ARTIST 14, 15, 16 apRil 2017 WELCOME Street art is without a doubt the most exciting PHOTO: IAN COX development in visual art for decades: a ‘movement’ that has caught the imagination of the general public, collectors, auction houses and curators the world over. The 11 artists invited to participate in Nuart Aberdeen are some of the world’s finest exponents of street art, offering a rich and eclectic insight into the breadth and depth of this global phenomenon. Nuart Aberdeen will not only provide a platform for international street artists but also local and national artists who wish to showcase their work to the world through a series of site-specific paintings, installations, interventions, and temporary exhibitions at venues across the Granite City. In addition to physical art production, the Nuart Plus program – which consists of film screenings, artist presentations, panel debates, workshops, exhibitions and more – aims to stimulate debate and our collective imagination by challenging entrenched notions of what art is, and more importantly, what it can be. The dates for Nuart Aberdeen may be Friday 14th – Sunday 16th April but, long-term, we hope these artworks will become part of the fabric of the city with Nuart Aberdeen’s legacy echoing long into the future. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Aberdeen Inspired and Aberdeen City Council for their unwavering support as well as our partners, wall owners, volunteers and all those who have dedicated time and resources to helping us create Nuart Aberdeen. It is only with their enthusiasm and energy that this event has been made possible and we are enormously grateful. Martyn, James, Marisa, and the team at Nuart Festival Aberdeen City Council is proud to support and intrigued to see the inaugural Nuart Aberdeen festival take place in the Granite City, especially as we celebrate Visit Scotland’s year of History, Heritage and Archaeology. Aberdeen is a city that has a unique and diverse arts and cultural community, with many fine local artists and home to the renowned Gray’s School of Art, Peacock Visual Arts and Seventeen. It has been the council’s priority to work with key partners like Aberdeen Inspired to grow and enhance our cultural events and festivals programme and to build a greater platform to showcase and celebrate Aberdeen’s arts and cultural sector. I am delighted that, as a city, we have developed festivals like SPECTRA, Look Again and the Jazz Festival as well as the Christmas Village which all ensure the city is a vibrant, interesting, and appealing place to live, visit and enjoy all year round. As part of our Event 365 strategy, we have sought to ensure that Aberdeen benefits from the very best events and festivals. As we strengthen our twin city status with Stavanger, hosting Nuart Aberdeen, a UK exclusive, gives the city a great opportunity to showcase what we have to offer. Ingrained within the festival a central focus is to ensure that local residents, artists and businesses can be fully engaged, involved and understand the legacy this creates for Aberdeen. As an international city, we warmly embrace the visiting artists from across the world, and I look forward greatly to seeing the street art that is produced and encourage one and all to visit the city centre on the 14th, 15th and 16th April (Easter Weekend) to enjoy the iconic street art and take part in the many new and exciting Nuart Aberdeen programmes for people of all ages to enjoy.

  • A Arte Urbana De Negociar 02.04.2016 Às 11H53
    Visitas diárias: 165794País: PortugalÂmbito: Informação Expresso Geral Online ID: 63830654 02-04-2016 A arte urbana de negociar 02.04.2016 às 11h53 Empresas que criam graffiti por encomenda, galerias especializadas, visitas guiadas e safaris fotográficos, festivais e seminários, autarquias em busca de turismo, leiloeiras, museus e colecionadores. O que a arte urbana tem perdido em rebeldia está a gerar novos públicos e investidores "Compro logo existo #9." A inscrição foi feita por Alexandre Farto, de nome artístico Vhils, em 2008, sobre uma pilha de cartazes publicitários com resina. O conceito liga a peça à arte urbana; o contexto é de galeria. Foi vendida em Paris por 22.100 euros, em fevereiro de 2015, contra um valor inicialmente estimado entre 12 mil e 15 mil euros. A obra veicula um paradoxo: é uma crítica à sociedade de consumo comprada pela sociedade de consumo. Estamos nos meandros da arte urbana - ou das obras assinadas por artistas urbanos, porque há diferenças. Há a arte que nasce e é comercializada na rua - como os pedaços de parede com pinturas de Banksy que chegam a valer mais de um milhão de euros em leilões privados (em Portugal não há conhecimento de casos semelhantes e a venda de imóveis que incluam peças de arte urbana não está contemplada na lei) - e as peças de cultura urbana e perfil originalmente museológico. Seja como for, estes autores estão intrinsecamente ligados à rua e dependem dela para se valorizarem no mercado da arte. "Quando falamos em street, acaba por ser o nome de um movimento, porque os artistas passam muitas vezes do exterior para as galerias.

  • Street Art in Portugal
    Street Art in Portugal ABOUT Photo: Wool / Bordalo II Street Art in Portugal Fleeting, irreverent and unexpected. Street art surprises visitors to Portugal. We are often surprised by drawings on the streets, on billboards, on façades and large walls. These are true open-air galleries, where prominent artists from around the world try to give life and colour to hidden-away places, with various techniques and messages, giving each place its own story. Street art is already an attraction for people visiting the city, with international recognition for the quality of the works you will come across. Several Portuguese artists already made a name for themselves around the world: -The work of Bordalo II in Covilhã and Ella & Pitr, in Abrantes, were highlighted by Street Art News in their list of the 25 most popular urban works of art. - Odeith, with his street painting in Setúbal, was included in a special about the best of these works by the movement I Support Street Art - Vhils was mentioned by Forbes magazine in its list of under-30s success stories, in the Art & Style category. More recently, he was invited by U2 to produce the video for one of the songs on their last album, Raised by Wolves. The video was recorded in the former Lisnave shipyards in Cacilhas. Although born out of an attitude of transgression and illegality, this artistic expression has sparked the interest of public and private bodies. Many domestic and foreign artists have been invited by local authorities and cultural associations to produce work in public spaces and derelict buildings, giving them a new image and as well as attracting the attention of passers-by.

  • American Painting During the Cold War
    Artforum, May 1973 American Painting During the Cold War Max Kozloff This article is a somewhat revised version of the introduction to the catalogue of the exhibition, "Twenty-five Years of American Painting 1948–1973," organized by James T. Demetrion at the Des Moines Art Center (Josef Albers, Ron Davis, Richard Diebenkorn, Richard Estes, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Irwin, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Lindner, Morris Louis, Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland, Philip Pearlstein, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, Clyfford Still, Wayne Thiebaud, Mark Tobey, Andy Warhol, and William T. Wiley, March 6– April 22, 1973). Catalogue: 72 pages, perfect bound, 9 3/4" square, 23 black-and-white illustrations, 23 colorplates, brief bibliography, $7.00. All colorplates used here are somewhat reduced in size and courtesy of the Des Moines art Center. More celebrated than its counterparts in letters, architecture, and music, American postwar art has become a success story that begs, not to be retold, but told freshly for this decade. The most recent as well as most exhaustive book on Abstract Expressionism is Irving Sandler's The Triumph of American Painting, a title that sums up the self-congratulatory mood of many who participated in its career. Three years ago, the Metropolitan Museum enshrined 43 artists of the New York School, 1940–1970, as one pageant in the chapter of its own centennial. Though elevated as a cultural monument of an unassailable but also a fatiguing grandeur, the virtues of this painting and sculpture will survive the present period in which they are taken too much for granted.

  • Second Edition)
    Translated for CWHIP by Gary Goldberg & Sue Onslow The White Sun of Angola by Anatoly Adamishin Moscow, 2014 (second edition) Children, don't go to Africa to walk - the warning of wise Korney Chukovsky, author of a beautiful fairy tale, often came to mind when I was writing this book. But how can one not go? Whoever who has seen the primordial, captivating beauty of African lands wants to return there again and again, to one of the most complex and dramatic crossroads of the contemporary world, to this potentially the richest continent which has vegetated in poverty for centuries. And Angola? The adventures of Captain Grant’s children, and gangly Paganel’s stories of butterflies, flowers and birds created the impression of a mythical country of our childhood. But in the 1970s and 1980s we collided with an entirely different reality: the Soviet Union found itself drawn into a serious civil war in the enormous spaces of Angola, half the size of Western Europe, which grew into an international conflict, second only to the degree of our involvement in Afghanistan. YESTERDAY CONTINUES TODAY Against the background of the escalating number of international conflicts which were mostly inter-ethnic and which included the unsuccessful attempt of the US and NATO to solve one of them by force (by this I mean the Yugoslav conflict), my thoughts return to the events which occurred 25 years ago - the successful peaceful settlement in South Western Africa. The conflict there was, I dare to say, as complicated as the Balkan one; it had a static nature, and had drawn more than a dozen countries and liberation movements directly into its orbit such as the RSA [Republic of South Africa], Angola, Cuba, the US, the USSR, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zaire, the ANC, SWAPO, and UNITA.

Based on the practice of articulation and reinterpretation that has characterized his artistic activity, ADD FUEL presents in “Deuxième Désintégration” a new exploration of “Désintégation”, a thematic frst developed for his frst project in Paris, with Gallery Itinerrance in the Tour Paris 13 (2013). Based on the decontextualization of traditional motifs, this new body of work enhances the artists desire to bring forward his cultural roots, giving them a new life, playing with the au- dience’s sense of sight and expectation, whilst disintegrating the square tile element into several new shapes and compositions. ADD FUEL’S SOLO SHOW «DEUXIÈME DÉSINTÉGRATION» I GALERIE ITINERRANCE I FROM APRIL 12TH, 2019 “Deuxième Désintégration” was built with a set of visual references, patterns drawn from the artist’s mind to hand in an intuitive process, with no limitations on visual thematic or specifc infuences other than the immediate ones on his mind. This universe of seemingly irreconcilable referents that reveal the author’s personality is here materialized in a body of work that combines pieces of a different nature; large and small-scale compositions that express a sophisticated dialogue between techniques and motifs both traditional and contemporary in origin, a showcase of items where the game of contrapositions and replications that typifes ADD FUEL’s original language – one based on crossing artisanal methods, such as ceramic tiles or pottery, with industrial and digital processes of production.

  • My Dog Sighs' Artwork for Forgotten Project, Titled “I Still Remember How It
    View this email in your browser Con il Supporto di Con il Patrocinio di Forgotten Project My Dog Sighs’ artwork for Forgotten Project, titled “I still remember how it was before”, inaugurated last Saturday The British artist’s point of view on the hospital Nuovo Regina Margherita The hospital in Trastevere hosts the first mural of the second edition of the urban project born to reclaim the value of urban heritage. A diferent view of the city, of Trastevere and of health structures in Rome. The English street artist My Dog Sighs borrows his art to Forgotten Project by painting on the surrounding wall of Nuovo Regina Margherita of ASL Roma 1, in Via Morosini. The artwork, titled “I still remember how it was before”, is strongly linked to its location. After researching the building from several points of view (architectural, anthropological and social) and studying the transformations it has had over time, My Dog Sighs painted 540 of his iconic eyes, in which there is the reflection of the wall itself and of Rome’s skyline. The street artist from Portsmouth did an open call in order to collect photos of local people who had a story connected with the hospital, of whom he draw the silhouettes into the reflections in the eyes. “Every eye tells the story of the community and of the place that has taken care of each of them. Forgotten Project is an interesting project and to paint the wall I had to understand both the location and the local community first” My Dog Sighs said.

  • Reconsidering the Reasons for Clement Greenberg's Formalist
    The Intransigent Critic: Reconsidering the reasons for Clement Greenberg’s formalist stance from the early 1930s to the early 1970s © Sheila Christofides A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Postgraduate Board, Student Guild University of New South Wales September, 2004 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the reasons for Greenberg’s aesthetic intransigence – that is, his adherence to a formalist/purist stance, and his refusal to countenance non-purist twentieth- century avant-garde trends evident in the art he ignored or denigrated, and in the art he promoted. The most substantial body of work challenged is Cold War revisionism (exemplified by the scholarship of Francis Frascina, Serge Guilbaut, and John O’Brian) which casts Greenberg as a politically expedient party to the imperialist agendas of various CIA-funded organisations. The major conclusions reached are that: Greenberg’s aesthetic intransigence was driven by a similarly intransigent ethico-political position, and that his critical method reflected patterns of argumentation set up in ‘Avant-Garde and Kitsch’ (1939). This essay, and Greenberg’s ethico-political position, derived, not least, from his direct encounter with American Nazism and anti-Semitism which led him to realise that America (with what he saw as its decadence, cultural apathy, and low-level mass taste) was as vulnerable to the threat of totalitarianism as Europe and Russia. Reflecting this fear, ‘Avant-Garde and Kitsch’ had juxtaposed a stagnant, impure culture with a vigorous avant- garde culture of impeccable vintage – in the process infusing politics into a formalist, historical conception of modernism Greenberg first devised in the early 1930s and then augmented, during 1938-9, with Hans Hofmann’s theories and others.
