Visual Narratives of Heterosexual Female Sexuality.Docx
Running Head: Visual Narratives of Heterosexual Female Sexuality Visual Narratives of Heterosexual Female Sexuality By Angie Wallace Masters in Interdisciplinary Studies Southern Oregon University 2018 Visual Narratives of Heterosexual Female Sexuality 2 Table of Contents Abstract Page 3 Introduction Page 4 Research Questions Page 6 Literature Review Page 7 Methods Page 22 IRB Page 25 Results Page 25 Figures 1, 2, and 3 Page 30 - 31 Discussion Page 31 Research based Art Piece Page 37 Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 Page 41 - 42 References Page 43 Visual Narratives of Heterosexual Female Sexuality 3 Abstract This paper explores the social construction of heterosexual female sexuality through visual social narratives in the form of advertisements and artistic photographs. The purpose of this study it to produce an art piece based on my findings. The problems I encountered during my research include my own bias and limited subjects. Since, I am a woman who identifies as heterosexual I have my own preconceived ideas along with personal experiences. In addition, the limited data set provides its own drawbacks. If I were to broaden my scope, the data may or may not have revealed other themes. That being said, for my purposes the themes that have emerged include the following; (1) the male gaze, (2) gender performance, (3) body as a commodity, and (4) sexual harassment. Through the process of visual ethnography and methodology, my design study is to analyze these images as a heterosexual female and combine this analysis with the literature. During this process, I have concluded that heterosexual female sexuality is contingent on how we recognize and interpret visual culture. -

Ankara/Türkiye Dr.Öğr. Üyesi Gonca Hülya YAYAN Dr.Öğr.Üyesi-Gazi Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Resim-İş Öğretmenliği Bölümü, Ankara/Türkiye ÖZET Günümüzde çoğu dünya ekonomisi büyük finansal krizlerle baş etmeye çalışmaktadır. Sanat piyasasının tamamı da bu durumdan nasibini almış olsa da ünlü sanatçıların eserleri hala çok büyük rakamlarla el değiştirmektedir. Bunun son örneklerinden birisi de İngiliz sanatçı David Hockney’in The Splash isimli eseridir. Hockney’in bu tablosu, 2006 yılında 9 milyon dolara alıcı bulmuşken, 2020 Şubat ayında düzenlenen bir müzayede de 23,1 milyon sterline satılmıştır. Bu makalede İngiliz Sanatçı David Hockney’in The Splash isimli eseri özelinden yola çıkılarak, sanat piyasasındaki tabloların değerlendirme ve bunların sebepleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Araştırma kapsamında Hockney’in eserlerinin geçmişten günümüze değer artışı ile diğer çağdaş sanatçıların eserleri arasındaki fiyatlar da karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Ayrıca sanat piyasalarının nasıl oluştuğu, nelerden etkilendiği, günümüze kadar hangi aşamalardan geçtiği ve günümüzdeki sanat piyasalarını oluşturan dinamiklerin neler olduğu da araştırmanın konusu içerisinde ele alınmıştır. -

1 Antony Gormley (b. 1950), Untitled (for Francis), 1985 (Room 1), lead, plaster, polyester resin and fibreglass 1900 × 1170 × 290cm Giovanni Bellini, St Francis in Ecstasy, 1479-85 • Finding Meaning. In this room we have two apparently contrasting works. Over there an abstract work by Eva Hesse and here a human figure by Antony Gormley. They represent contrasting approaches that are explored in the following rooms. Gormley is best known for The Angel of the North (see Visual Aids) an enormous sculpture on a hill near Newcastle. • Construction. This work is called Untitled (for Francis) and was made in 1985. Like many of his other works it was made directly from his own body. He was wrapped in clingfilm by his wife, who is also an artist, and then covered in two layers of plaster. When it had dried the cast was cut from his body, reassembled and then covered in fibreglass and resin. Twenty-four sheets of lead were then hammered over the figure and soldered together. If you look closely you will see that the figure has been pierced in the breast, hands and feet by small holes cut in the lead. • St. Francis. The attitude of the eyeless figure, standing with head tilted back, feet apart and arms extended to display the palms of its hands, resembles that of a Christian saint receiving the stigmata. Stigmata are the five marks left on Christ’s 2 body by the Crucifixion although one of the wounds here is in the breast, rather than, as tradition dictates, in the side. -

My hope was to notice my own interaction with objects more precisely and to pursue poetic questions (and philosophical implications about subjectivity and objectivity) that have been asked before by modernist writers such as Gertrude Stein and William Carlos Williams. These two writers in particular had their own reasons for pursuing, through their writing, basic questions about representation of the world in art and language. Stein’s program, modeled after her contemporaries Picasso and Braque, was to offer a fractal, or fragmented sort of representation of the world. Her cubist-inspired presentation in language of portraits of people, for instance, offered in language what the cubists were doing in the visual realm— “objects” of inquiry were shown from multiple perspectives, all at once.
