Studio Afterlife Studio Afterlife The Function of the Posthumous Studio in Contemporary Art David Eastwood A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Art & Design Faculty of Art & Design November 2018 Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Eastwood Given Name/s : David Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : Art & Design School : Art & Design Thesis Title : Studio Afterlife: The Function of the Posthumous Studio in Contemporary Art Abstract 350 words maximum: The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have seen a proliferation of posthumously “museumised” artists’ studios. This global phenomenon is characterised by the conservation or reconstruction of deceased artists’ studios within museums. The museum creates an “afterlife” of the studio, contributing to its cultural and historical significance by interpreting an artist’s work or biography. This practice-based study identifies an emergent current of contemporary art practice that engages with the posthumous studio. Significant contemporary artists Tacita Dean, Christian Jankowski, and Thomas Demand are among those who interpret or intervene in these sites. My project contributes to this underexplored area of art practice and art theory. It employs the posthumous studio as a resource for artistic practice and conceptual reflection, challenging the mythologisation of the modernist artist’s studio as the private domain of the solitary genius. The research focuses on the posthumous studios of two modernist painters, commencing with the restored studio of Giorgio Morandi in Bologna, followed by a more comprehensive study of the Francis Bacon studio reconstruction at Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. While painting is the primary medium employed within the research methodology, intersections with other media such as photography, installation, and video play a significant role. Informed by museum practices in which aspects of posthumous studios are simulated for the purposes of display, my practice similarly incorporates the reconstruction of modernist studio artefacts. Derived from engagement with selected examples, the practice adopts the posthumous studio as a site for artistic exploration. In his seminal essay ‘The Function of the Studio’ (1971), Daniel Buren denounced the modernist studio as an ivory tower confining art practice to the production of portable objects “isolated from the real world.” A more nuanced reinterpretation of the modernist studio proposed by this project presents it as an assemblage of distributed materialities and agencies, an approach informed by the thinking of Gilles Deleuze, and Jane Bennett’s notion of “vibrant matter.” The project moves beyond the postmodernist, post-studio critique, bringing to light new understandings of the artist’s studio as concept and material phenomenon via investigation of the posthumous studio.

  • Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 Ó Copyright by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 by Joanna Marie Fiduccia Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor George Thomas Baker, Chair This dissertation presents the first extended analysis of Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture between 1935 and 1945. In 1935, Giacometti renounced his abstract Surrealist objects and began producing portrait busts and miniature figures, many no larger than an almond. Although they are conventionally dismissed as symptoms of a personal crisis, these works unfold a series of significant interventions into the conventions of figurative sculpture whose consequences persisted in Giacometti’s iconic postwar work. Those interventions — disrupting the harmonious relationship of surface to interior, the stable scale relations between the work and its viewer, and the unity and integrity of the sculptural body — developed from Giacometti’s Surrealist experiments in which the production of a form paradoxically entailed its aggressive unmaking. By thus bridging Giacometti’s pre- and postwar oeuvres, this decade-long interval merges two ii distinct accounts of twentieth-century sculpture, each of which claims its own version of Giacometti: a Surrealist artist probing sculpture’s ambivalent relationship to the everyday object, and an Existentialist sculptor invested in phenomenological experience. This project theorizes Giacometti’s artistic crisis as the collision of these two models, concentrated in his modest portrait busts and tiny figures.

  • The Ultimate Rite of Passage: Death and Beyond in “The Golden Key” and at the Back of the North Wind
    The Ultimate Rite of Passage: Death and Beyond in “The Golden Key” and At the Back of the North Wind Marilyn Pemberton They thought he was dead. I knew that he had gone to the back of the north wind. �roduc�o� I “Once upon a time” and “they lived happily ever after” explicitly or implicitly frame a fairy tale and as such signal to readers that they are entering a world that is “rarely precisely fixed in time or space” (Harries 104). The Janus-faced fairy tale promises to tell of events that not only happened in the distant past but also to project into the infinite future. In reality, the passage of time, of course, leads inexorably towards death, but this is rarely mentioned in a traditional fairy tale; the majority of stories end when the goal is attained, the prize is won, the princess is wed. Where death is mentioned it is usually as a judgement for wrong-doing: when Bluebeard is killed by his wife’s brothers for his homicidal tendencies, when the Black Brothers in Ruskin’s “The King of the Golden River” (1850) are turned to stone for their avarice, when the cannibalistic old witch is lured into the oven by Gretel and burned to death, or when Snow White’s stepmother is forced to put on red-hot slippers and dance until she falls down dead. Occasionally, the good die and these are invariably “happy deaths,” which explicitly tell of the end to earthly suffering, the glory of God and the joy of heaven.

Plaster cast. © National Portrait Gallery, London. Every Man His Own Monument Self-Monumentalizing in Romantic Britain Chris Haffenden Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Auditorium minus, Gustavianum, Uppsala universitetsmuseum, Akademigatan 3, Uppsala, Friday, 9 November 2018 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Dr. Samantha Matthews (Bristol University, UK). Abstract Haffenden, C. 2018. Every Man His Own Monument. Self-Monumentalizing in Romantic Britain. Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 50. 263 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0451-9. From framing private homes as museums, to sitting for life masks and appointing biographers, new forms of self-monumentalizing emerged in the early nineteenth century. In this study I investigate the emergence and configuration of such practices in Romantic Britain. Positioning these practices at the intersection of emergent national pantheons, a modern conception of history, and a newly-formed celebrity culture, I argue that this period witnessed the birth of distinctively modern ways for the individual to make immortality. Faced with a visceral fear of being forgotten, public figures began borrowing from celebrity culture to make their own monuments. Concentrated upon early nineteenth-century London, I characterize these practices as attempts at self-made immortality. I do so by analyzing the legacy projects of three well-known but seldom connected individuals: the Auto-Icon by the philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748– 1832), the Soane Museum by the architect Sir John Soane (1753–1837), and the life-writing efforts of the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786–1846).

Romero, revealing, notably, how they reflect specific social concerns. In order to determine what makes the zombie movie and the figure of the zombie so productive of political readings, this article examines, first, the classic zombie movies influenced by voodoo lore, then Romero’s initial living dead trilogy (1968-1985), and finally some of the most successful films released in the 2000s.
