  • The Velvet Underground By: Kao-Ying Chen Shengsheng Xu Makenna Borg Sundeep Dhanju Sarah Lindholm Group Introduction
    The Velvet Underground By: Kao-Ying Chen Shengsheng Xu Makenna Borg Sundeep Dhanju Sarah Lindholm Group Introduction The Velvet Underground helped create one of the first proto-punk songs and paved the path for future songs alike. Our group chose this group because it is one of those groups many people do not pay attention to very often and they are very unique and should be one that people should learn about. Shengsheng Biography The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1964. They are also known as The Warlocks and The Falling Spikes. Best-known members: Lou Reed and John Cale. 1967 debut album, “The Velvet Underground & Nico” was named the 13th Greatest Album of All Time, and the “most prophetic rock album ever http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTpZBIJzRM1H- made” by Rolling Stone in 2003. GhQN6gcpQ10MWXGlqkK03oo543ZbNUefuLNAvVRA Ranked #19 on the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time” by Rolling Stone. Shengsheng Biography From 1964-1965: Lou Reed (worked as a songwriter) met John Cale (Welshman who came to United States to study classical music) and they formed, The Primitives. Reed and Cale recruited Sterling Morrison to play the guitar (college classmate of Reed’s) as a replacement for Walter De Maria. Angus MacLise joined as a percussionist to form a group of four. And this quartet was first named The Warlocks, then The Falling Spikes. Introduced by Michael Leigh, the name “The Velvet Underground” was finally adopted by the group in Nov 1965. Shengsheng Biography From 1965-1966: Andy Warhol became the group’s manager.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Boredom’s Erotics”: Stillness and Duration in Andy Warhol’s Empire A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Art History by Hannah Kahng 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Boredom’s Erotics”: Stillness and Duration in Andy Warhol’s Empire by Hannah Kahng Master of Arts in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor George Baker, Chair This thesis examines the function of boredom as a critical operation in Andy Warhol’s Empire (1964), an eight-hour silent film that consists of a single shot of the Empire State Building spanning nightfall to the early hours of the morning. Through an analysis of Empire as well as several other silent films made by Warhol during the mid- 1960s, this paper argues that boredom is not simply a passive affective state. In Warhol’s films, the bored gaze is inextricably tied to sexual pleasure. Empire proposes a model of spectatorship that does not derive pleasure from voyeurism or the production of knowledge; instead it produces a perverse pleasure that foregrounds the sensuousness of inanimate objects. This paper suggests that an analysis of boredom could expand Empire’s critical field beyond discussions of perceptual experience to include issues of ethics and desire. ii This thesis of Hannah Kahng is approved.

    Arte em Processo fgfegggggggffgegggeefggggfeggeefgggfg Pesquisa de Iniciação Científica Aluna: Karen Priscila Macfadem Piccoli, Orientadora: Prof. Dra. Anja Pratschke Relatório de Atividades Realizadas 01 Março de 2008 ge Proposta e justificativa fg A proposta de atividade para a realização neste período foi primeiramente, uma aproximação com textos de ordem metodológica, para uma primeira aproximação da aluna com uma noção de metodologias e processos de pesquisa. Após essa primeira aproximação, inicia‐se a atividade de pesquisa dos artistas citados em um diagrama de autoria de George Maciunas chamado Expaded Art Diagram. Este diagrama estabelece relações entre muitos artistas, principalmente no período da década de sessenta, e os conceitos empregados para definir suas atividades. Tal atividade foi de importância para uma primeira aproximação da aluna com esses artistas, seus trabalhos, seus conceitos e o contexto histórico em que estavam inseridos. ge Metodologia fg Para a pesquisa proposta, o melhor meio para encontrar informações acerca de tantos artistas e conceitos foi através de sites da internet. Escolheu‐se iniciar a pesquisa pelo grupo Fluxus e seus participantes mais ativos, o que tomou bastante esforço da aluna, já que há um vasto material sobre o assunto, além de ser uma temática muito interessante para se explorar. Essa ordem de pesquisa também decorre de o próprio autor do diagrama, George Maciunas, ser considerado o fundador deste grupo. A partir de então, foi se desenvolvendo a pesquisa pelos demais artistas citados no diagrama, e conceitos ora colocados como elos entre esses artistas. Para uma melhor visualização, eficaz e sistemática dos dados coletados, foi desenvolvida uma ficha padrão a ser aplicada para cada artista ou conceito especificamente.

  • Pop Art and Popular Music
    Pop Art and Popular Music This book offers an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to Pop art scholarship through a recuperation of popular music into art historical understandings of the movement. Jukebox modernism is a procedure by which Pop artists used popular music within their works to disrupt decorous modernism during the 1960s. Artists, including Peter Blake, Pauline Boty, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol, respond to popular music for reasons such as its emotional connectivity, issues of fandom and identity, and the pleasures and problems of looking and listening to an artwork. When we both look at and listen to Pop art, essential aspects of Pop’s history that have been neglected—its sounds, its women, its queerness, and its black subjects— come into focus. Melissa L. Mednicov is Assistant Professor of Art History at Sam Houston State University. Cover Image: Pauline Boty, My Colouring Book (1963), oil on canvas, 152.4 x 121.9 cm.

  • Rock As Minimal Modernism Lou Reed, 1942–2013
    Rock as minimal modernism Lou Reed, 1942–2013 I wouldn’t recommend me as entertainment. Lou Reed, 1978 It has acquired the status of a primal scene. 1964. A party in New York’s Lower East Side, the mythical site of the period. Terry Phillips, an executive at Pickwick Records, meets two ‘long-haired’ young men. Thinking they look the part, he asks them if they want to be in a band to promote a single that has become a (very) minor local hit. The record is called ‘The Ostrich’, and has been released under the name of The Primitives, but it was actually written and recorded by a 22-year-old Long Islander, and recent graduate of Syracuse University, called Lou Reed. The two men to whom Phillips will introduce him are John Cale and Tony Conrad. The story is perfect. Art meets rock & roll, and does so at the most unlikely cross- roads of mid-1960s’ musical culture: the most avant-garde of ‘serious’ contemporary musics encountering the most industrialized manifestation of commodified pop. In 1964 Cale and Conrad were still members of ex-Fluxus and minimalist pioneer LaMonte Young’s ensemble, the Theatre of Eternal Music; Lou Reed was an employee of the Pickwick record factory, churning out the ‘latest’ product from a base in Coney Island. (‘They would say “Write ten California songs, ten Detroit songs”’, as Reed recol- lected, ‘then we’d go down into the studio for an hour or two.’) Conrad and Walter De Maria, the drummer he recruited for the short-lived Primitives, would return to the artworld; joined by Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker, Reed and Cale would, for two albums and a stint as the house band in Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable, produce a music in which Adorno’s ‘torn halves’ of modernist art and mass culture would not so much ‘add up’ as be forced to get together, whether they liked the idea or not.

  • Queer Performativity and Grieving Through Music in the Work of Rufus Wainwright
    TRUE LOVES, DARK NIGHTS: QUEER PERFORMATIVITY AND GRIEVING THROUGH MUSIC IN THE WORK OF RUFUS WAINWRIGHT Stephanie Salerno A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Christian Coons Graduate Faculty Representative Kimberly Coates Katherine Meizel © 2016 Stephanie Salerno All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This dissertation studies the cultural significance of Canadian-American singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright’s (b. 1973) album All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu (Decca, 2010). Lulu was written, recorded, and toured in the years surrounding the illness and eventual death of his mother, beloved Québécoise singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle. The album, performed as a classical song cycle, stands out amongst Wainwright’s musical catalogue as a hybrid composition that mixes classical and popular musical forms and styles. More than merely a collection of songs about death, loss, and personal suffering, Lulu is a vehicle that enabled him to grieve through music. I argue that Wainwright’s performativity, as well as the music itself, can be understood as queer, or as that which transgresses traditional or expected boundaries. In this sense, Wainwright’s artistic identity and musical trajectory resemble a rhizome, extending in multiple directions and continually expanding to create new paths and outcomes. Instances of queerness reveal themselves in the genre hybridity of the Lulu song cycle, the emotional vulnerability of Wainwright’s vocal performance, the deconstruction of gender norms in live performance, and the circulation of affect within the performance space.

  • Press Release Larry Poons | the Twenty-First Century an Exhibition Curated by David Anfam 19.01.2018
    Press Release Larry Poons | The Twenty-First Century An exhibition curated by David Anfam 19.01.2018 - 17.03.2018 Roberto Polo Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition Larry Poons I The Twenty-First Century, curated by the distinguished British art historian and critic David Anfam. The exhibition, the artist’s first in the gallery, will feature 28 acrylic paintings on canvas created from 2002 to 2017. On its occasion, Roberto Polo Gallery will publish an eponymous 160-page hardcover book with 84 illustrations, as well as essays by David Anfam and Martin Herbert, reputed British writer and critic. It will be the first book of its kind on Poons. Larry Poons (born Tokyo, Japan, 1 October 1937) lives and works in New York, as well as in Upstate New York. From 1955 to 1957 he studied composition at Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music. Barnett Newman's 1959 exhibition at French & Company deeply impressed Poons: he relinquished music studies to enrol at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Between 1966 and 1970 Poons taught at the Art Students League of New York and has continued to do so since 1997. In the early 1960s Poons upheld his passion for music as the guitarist with The Druds, a short- lived avant-garde art band. It featured other prominent members of the New York art community— Walter de Maria and LaMonte Young respectively played the drums and saxophone, Patty Mucha was the lead singer while Jasper Johns wrote the lyrics. At first associated with geometric imagery, in 1966 Poons reacted against the art critic Clement Greenberg’s pictorial theories to return to the essence of painting—tactile pigment itself.
