Excerpt: Conceptual art is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. Many of the works, sometimes called installations, of the artist Sol LeWitt may be constructed by anyone simply by following a set of written instructions. This method was fundamental to LeWitt's definition of Conceptual art, one of the first to appear in print: Tony Godfrey, author of Conceptual Art (Art & Ideas) (1998), asserts that conceptual art questions the nature...

  • Les Nouveaux Realistes
    LES NOUVEAUX REALISTES Le mouvement Nouveau Réalisme a été fondé en octobre 1960 par une déclaration commune dont les signataires sont Yves KLEIN, ARMAN, François DUFRÊNE, Raymond HAINS, Martial RAYSSE, Pierre RESTANY, Daniel SPOERRI, Jean TINGUELY, Jacques de LA VILLEGLE ; auxquels s’ajoutent CESAR, Mimmo ROTELLA, puis Niki de SAINT PHALLE et Gérard DESCHAMPS en 1961. Ces artistes affirment s’être réunis sur la base de la prise de conscience de leur «singularité collective». En effet, dans la diversité de leur langage plastique, ils perçoivent un lieu commun à leur travail, à savoir une méthode d’appropriation directe du réel, laquelle équivaut, pour reprendre les termes de Pierre RESTANY, en un « recyclage poétique du réel urbain, industriel, publicitaire» (60/90. Trente ans de Nouveau Réalisme, édition La Différence, 1990, p. 76). Leur travail collectif: des expositions élaborées ensemble, s’étend de 1960 à 1963, mais l’histoire du Nouveau Réalisme se poursuit au moins jusqu’en 1970, année du dixième anniversaire du groupe marquée par l’organisation de grandes manifestations. Pour autant, si cette prise de conscience d’une « singularité collective» est déterminante, leur regroupement se voit motivé par l’intervention et l’apport théorique du critique d’art Pierre RESTANY, lequel, d’abord intéressé par l’art abstrait, se tourne vers l’élaboration d’une esthétique sociologique après sa rencontre avec Yves KLEIN en 1958, et assume en grande partie la justification théorique du groupe. Le terme de Nouveau Réalisme a été forgé par Pierre RESTANY à l’occasion d’une première exposition collective en mai 1960. En reprenant l’appellation de « réalisme», il se réfère au mouvement artistique et littéraire né au 19e siècle qui entendait décrire, sans la magnifier, une réalité banale et quotidienne.

O conteúdo é original e todas as fontes consultadas estão devidamente mencionadas na bibliografia ou outras listagens de fontes documentais, tal como todas as citações diretas ou indiretas têm devida indicação ao longo do trabalho segundo as normas académicas. O Candidato Lisboa, 22 de Outubro de 2019 II RESUMO O livro enquanto veículo de expressão artística tem vindo a ser explorado desde a génese das práticas editoriais. O design, a música, o teatro, a literatura, o cinema, entre outras formas de manifestação criativa, são ingredientes do bolo que constituí a book art e a publicação independente, cuja expressividade é diretamente influenciada pela mistura rica de áreas e técnicas participantes. É necessário conhecer particularidades do trabalho percursor neste âmbito, para que se assimile e compreenda o papel disruptivo do artist’s book. As formas comunicação gráfica primevas (são exemplo as pinturas rupestres), despoletaram espontaneamente, cumprindo as necessidades do ser humano pré-histórico. Com o avançar dos anos, e à medida que a linguagem se desenvolvia cada vez mais complexa, os suportes de inscrição de matéria foram também aperfeiçoados. As culturas chinesa e egípcia possibilitaram a descoberta e refinamento do papel, ao aplicarem as fibras de bambu e papiro, respetivamente, num processo de fabricação de “folhas”.

  • Film Farbe Fläche. Ästhetik Des Kolorierten Bildes Im Kino 1895–1930
    Jelena Rakin Jelena Rakin Die nachträgliche Kolorierung des schwarzweißen Film Farbe Fläche Materials war in der Stummfilmepoche eine verbrei- tete Praxis. Die Filme wurden hand- oder schablo- Ästhetik des kolorierten Bildes nenkoloriert, viragiert und getont. Die häufig osten- tativ ausgestellte Materialität der aufgetragenen im Kino 1895–1930 Farbe stand in einem Spannungsverhältnis zum fotografischen Bild und bewirkte eine spezifische Dynamik zwischen dem Eindruck von Flächigkeit und Plastizität. Kolorierungen kamen in Serpen- tinentanzfilmen, den ornamentalen Motiven der Féerien, in Trickfilmen oder Moderevuen besonders zur Geltung. In dieser Hinsicht weisen die applika- tiven Farbtechniken des Films viele Parallelen zu anderen farbigen Bildmedien der Epoche auf (wie Gebrauchsgrafik oder Modeillustration). Zudem zeigt der kolorierte Film seine Nähe zur industriali- sierten Ästhetik, vornehmlich zur visuellen Form kommerzieller Farbpaletten. In dieser Studie wird die farbige Fläche des kolorier- ten Films im Kontext einer intermedialen Geschichte des Ästhetischen untersucht. Farbe als Attraktion, Film Farbe Fläche ostentative Materialität und Element medialer Selbstreflexion der Kunst tritt aus dieser Perspek- tive als eine Sinnfigur der chromatischen Moderne und der populären visuellen Kultur des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts hervor. Jelena Rakin ist Oberassistentin am Seminar für Filmwissenschaft in Zürich, wo sie an einer Ha bilitationsschrift zur Ästhetik von Kosmos- bildern arbeitet.

  • S to P Pa in Tin G
    STOP PAINTING STOP PAINTING PETER FISCHLI When I was young the Zeitgeist was claiming that “painting is dead.” Jörg Immendorff’s well- known, paradoxical, fast-scrawled painting Hört auf zu malen, half-correctly translated as “Stop painting,” obviously crossed my mind. It was already announcing that its funeral would most likely be postponed, since it had the character of a command refuse. I thought of some of the older funeral anno- uncements, starting with Paul Delaroche’s famous quote: “From today, painting is dead.” [...] While the ones who believed in the end of painting were mourning at the funeral procession, a very lively knock knock knock came out of the black painted coffin. As time passed, I began to imagine what a pan- optic exhibition of these artistic positions might look like. [...] I imagined a show that would be a kaleido- scope of repudiated gestures, including the critique of those repudiated gestures: the narration of the end of painting and the end of the narration of the end of painting. I was looking for a story that gives you the spacious and comfortable feeling of simpli- fication and, as a side dish, the justified suspicion of reducing complexity. Something like “the five crises of painting” could work — could make sense and pretend to make sense at the same time. Rupture 1. I started with Delaroche’s desper- ation and collapse at seeing photography coming into the world, which took away the determination of representation from painting. Why make a painting of Napoleon crossing the Alps if one could produce an image with an apparatus? [...] Within the new media surroundings, painting had to find new ways of posi- tioning itself, refusing an ending in a coffin.

After this introduction the concert itself began with a performance of Ben Patterson's Paper Piece. Two performers entered the stage from the wings carrying a large 3'x15' sheet of paper, which they then held over the heads of the front of the audience. At the same time, sounds of crumpling and tearing paper could be heard from behind the on-stage paper screen, in which a number of small holes began to appear. The piece of paper held over the audience's heads was then dropped as shreds and balls of paper were thrown over the screen and out into the audience. As the small holes grew larger, performers could be seen behind the screen. The initial two performers carried another large sheet out over the audience and from this a number of printed sheets of letter-sized paper were dumped onto the audience. On one side of these sheets was a kind of manifesto: "PURGE the world of bourgeois sickness, `intellectual', professional & commercialised culture, PURGE the world of dead art, imitation, artificial art, abstract art, illusionistic Page 4 [...] FUSE the cadres of cultural, social & political revolutionaries into united front & action."2 The performance of Paper Piece ended as the paper screen was gradually torn to shreds, leaving a paper-strewn stage.

  • George Maciunas and the Flux-Labyrinth (1974/1976): Staging a Soho Way of Life
    George Maciunas and the Flux-Labyrinth (1974/1976): Staging a SoHo Way of Life Anton Pereira Rodriguez and Wouter Davidts Frieze New York 2015 Ever since the first edition of Frieze New York in 2012, the art fair pays tribute each year to “alternative spaces and artist-run initiatives that have defined and transformed the cultural life of contemporary cities.”1 In 2013 Frieze New York celebrated FOOD, the artist-run restaurant initiated in 1971 by Gordon Matta-Clark in the neighborhood of SoHo, the old textile industry district South of Houston Street in Downtown Manhattan, New York. For the 2015 edition, Frieze commemorated the Flux-Labyrinth, a room-filling installation conceived by the artist George Maciunas in 1974. Not unlike Matta-Clark’s FOOD, Maciunas’s Flux- Labyrinth was a project that was firmly rooted in the artists’ colony of SoHo. Whereas the 2015 recreation of the original Flux-Labyrinth included many of the original sections, it also included sections designed by contemporary artists.2 “Hidden among the grid of galleries,” the reconstruction of the labyrinth was promoted as “a space in which to play and discover a new awareness of our bodies.”3 Any additional information about the historical genesis and meaning of the project by Maciunas, however, was not provided, preventing visitors to the fair from discovering the interrelatedness with the Fluxus movement in general, and with the urban realm of SoHo in the late 1960s and early 1970s in particular.4 1/14 By returning to the first built iteration of the labyrinth during

  • Thomas Kellein Ways of Fluxus
    ARCHIVIO BONOTTO Creative R'Evolution. 50 Years of Fluxus from the Archivio Bonotto Barcelona: 21 - 23 gennaio 2009 Thomas Kellein Ways of Fluxus The funniest and most radical episode in twentieth-century art is the story of Fluxus. George Maciunas (1931-1978), its self-declared chairman, established strangely radical modes of presentation in its name. In his view, the bulk of conventional art business – museums, theatres, concert halls, opera houses, and publishers – should cease to exist. And Fluxus was to be so uncomplicated that it could be realised by anyone more or less anywhere. Maciunas, who died at the age of forty-six, devoted his life to Fluxus. “The boy was playful and disobedient,” wrote his mother, “he always wanted to be completely free.” Not only as a boy, but in all of his adult life he was radical and revolutionary. A staunch opponent of personal enrichment, he came up with Spartan solutions for almost every life situation, developing his own subversive notion of art well before today’s global networks and multi-million dollar art market became a reality. When the Fluxus Festivals of “newest music” began in Wiesbaden in September 1962, German television was invited. A six-minute report was made. The journalists did their utmost to come up with polemic responses to all the different concert items. The artists were shown stoically entering the concert hall and again as they clapped. The piece being performed was “Clapping”, by Joseph Byrd. After a brief glimpse of a piece by Jackson Mac Low, the speaker’s voice declared, “Anything Dada can do, we have done longer.” Following this, Benjamin Patterson’s “Variations for Double Bass” were shown.
