  • Installation Art in India: Concepts and Roots
    [Aaftab *, Vol.4 (Iss.10): October, 2016] ISSN- 2350-0530(O) ISSN- 2394-3629(P) IF: 4.321 (CosmosImpactFactor), 2.532 (I2OR) Arts INSTALLATION ART IN INDIA: CONCEPTS AND ROOTS Mohsina Aaftab *1 *1 Research Scholar, Department of Fine Arts, A.M.U., Aligarh, INDIA DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.164831 ABSTRACT Present study focuses on the new media Installation Art in India, its present scenario, and backgrounds. Essentially installation art has taken its heritage from conceptual art, which came into prominence in 1970s, when the concept or idea was prominent – when an artist uses a conceptual form of art which means that all of the arrangement and conclusion are made previously and the implementation is an obligatory concern. So, spontaneously idea became a machine that makes the art. An idea suddenly pops in his mind and he just implemented it, in his very own way. This kind of art does not narrow itself to gallery spaces and can refer to any materials intervention in everyday public or private spaces. After India became independent, art began to change here. considerately several movements and group bounced up all over the country headed by ambitious young artists with vision of bringing modern art to India. Now the art of India is totally changed. Contemporaries are not bound to use paper and canvas, wall or any other art surfaces. They are not bound to make mythological paintings or sculptures but they are free to do anything, they are free to use any medium, material and space they want. After a European artist Marcel Duchamp’s “ready-mades artist” started exploring the margin of art, trying to eliminate the contrast between art and life.

  • Chapter 12. the Avant-Garde in the Late 20Th Century 1
    Chapter 12. The Avant-Garde in the Late 20th Century 1 The Avant-Garde in the Late 20th Century: Modernism becomes Postmodernism A college student walks across campus in 1960. She has just left her room in the sorority house and is on her way to the art building. She is dressed for class, in carefully coordinated clothes that were all purchased from the same company: a crisp white shirt embroidered with her initials, a cardigan sweater in Kelly green wool, and a pleated skirt, also Kelly green, that reaches right to her knees. On her feet, she wears brown loafers and white socks. She carries a neatly packed bag, filled with freshly washed clothes: pants and a big work shirt for her painting class this morning; and shorts, a T-shirt and tennis shoes for her gym class later in the day. She’s walking rather rapidly, because she’s dying for a cigarette and knows that proper sorority girls don’t ever smoke unless they have a roof over their heads. She can’t wait to get into her painting class and light up. Following all the rules of the sorority is sometimes a drag, but it’s a lot better than living in the dormitory, where girls have ten o’clock curfews on weekdays and have to be in by midnight on weekends. (Of course, the guys don’t have curfews, but that’s just the way it is.) Anyway, it’s well known that most of the girls in her sorority marry well, and she can’t imagine anything she’d rather do after college.

  • What Is Art History?
    Chapter 1 What is art history? A thing of beauty is a joy forever Keats Can art have a history? We think about art as being timeless, the ‘beauty’ of its appearance having meaning, significance, and appeal to humankind across the ages. At least this usually applies to our ideas about ‘high’, or fine, art, in other words painting and sculpture. This kind of visual material can have an autonomous existence – we can enjoy looking at it for its own sake, independent of any knowledge of its context, although of course viewers from different time periods or cultures may see the same object in contrasting ways. Art appreciation and criticism When we look at a painting or sculpture, we often ask the following questions: who made it?; what is the subject?; when was it completed? These are quite valid questions that are often anticipated and answered in, for example, the captions to illustrations in art books and the labels to works displayed in museums and galleries. For many of us these pieces of information are sufficient. Our curiosity about the who, what, and when of art is satisfied and we can get on with appreciating the artwork, or just enjoying looking at it. For those of us also interested in how, 1 information on the technique used – for instance, oil or tempera (see Chapter 6) – might help us to appreciate further the skill of the artist. The important thing to note about this kind of art appreciation is that it requires no knowledge of art history. The history of an individual work is contained within itself and can be found in the answers to the questions who, what, when, and how.

  • Past Looking: Using Arts As Historical Evidence in Teaching History
    Social Studies Research and Practice www.socstrp.org Past Looking: Using Arts as Historical Evidence in Teaching History Yonghee Suh Old Dominion University This is a comparative case study of how three high school history teachers in the U.S.A. use art in their practice. The following research question was investigated: How do secondary history teachers incorporate the arts—paintings, music, poems, novels, and films—in their teaching of history and why? Data were collected from three sources: interviews, observations, and classroom materials. Grounded theory was utilized to analyze the data. Findings suggest these teachers use the arts as historical evidence roughly for three purposes: First, to teach the spirit of an age; second, to teach the history of ordinary people invisible in official historical records; and third, to teach, both with and without art, the process of writing history. Two of the three teachers, however, failed to teach historical thinking skills through art. Keywords: history, history instruction, art, interdisciplinary approach, thinking skills, primary sources. Introduction Encouraging historical thinking in students is not a new idea in history education. Since the turn of the 20th century, many historians and history educators have argued that history consists of not only facts, but also historians’ interpretation of those facts, commonly known as the process of historical thinking, or how to analyze and interpret historical evidence, make historical arguments, and engage in historical debates (Bain, 2005; Holt, 1990; VanSledright; 2002; Wineburg, 2001). Many past reform efforts in history education have shared this commitment to teach students to think historically, in part by being engaged in the process of historical inquiry (Bradley Commission on History in Schools, 1988; National Center for History in the Schools, 1995).

  • How to Write a History of Central-East European Art?
    Third Text, Vol. 23, Issue 1, January, 2009, 5–14 How to Write a History of Central-East European Art? Piotr Piotrowski What differentiates postwar Western and East European art is of course their respective ideological contexts. So-called Western, liberal, demo- cratic ideology appeared to produce an opportunity for pluralistic, heter- ogeneous art (and art history), while in the East the stereotypical view of art, based on a uniform ideological background, seems to suggest a more homogenous image of art and its history. I will argue, at least as far as art history is concerned, that this is not the case; and in fact, quite the opposite. Western art history can be seen as much more homogeneous than East European art history. The reason is that the classic concept of ideology, as in the Marxist-Leninist system, did not play a substantial role in local cultural policy, as Westerners might expect. Instead, in the terms of Louis Althusser, it was Ideological State Apparatuses (in the plural), rather than the classical concept of ideology that governed the art scenes there.1 What is important is that while the ideology was similar in every Eastern bloc country, the Ideological State Apparatuses differed in each case, implementing different state cultural politics and producing different meanings of comparable art in parallel historical moments in the region. Finally, the point of this paper is that postwar art history in Central-Eastern Europe in particular should include much more of a national or state perspective, rather than a universal one, as in Downloaded by [McGill University Library] at 08:35 09 December 2014 much that is written on Western art history.

  • Interdisciplinarity and the Canon of Art History
    ISSUES IN INTEGRATIVE STUDIES No. 7, pp. 57-71 (1989) Interdisciplinarity and the Canon of Art History by Selma Kraft Department of Fine Arts, Siena College Abstract: With the recent overthrow of the canon of art history, interest in works of art as aesthetic form is being replaced by interest in them as representations of meaning. Not only are methods and theories of disciplines other than art history being used in understanding art; art is being used as data for other disciplines. Must canon shifts lead to interdisciplinarity? Does interdisciplinarity inevitably lead to the end of distinct academic disciplines? IN THE LAST DOZEN or so years, scholarly study of works of art, traditionally restricted to the discipline of art history, has become increasingly interdisciplinary. At the same time, there has been an escalating hue and cry over the state of crisis in which the discipline of art history finds itself. I intend to show that this crisis grows out of fundamental incompatibility between traditional art history as it developed and current interdisciplinary approaches to the study of art, and to raise some questions about the implications of this crisis for interdisciplinarity in reference to other disciplines. The use of interdisciplinary approaches in art history culminates a long series of changes both in subjects studied and methodologies applied in the investigation of the history of art. By changed subject matter I mean both the addition of works of art not previously considered art-historically significant and a shift in attention to different aspects of works that are studied. By change in methodology I mean using different means than before to answer new kinds of questions that are raised.

  • Michel Foucault and Modernist Art History
    Manet, museum, modernism: Michel Foucault and modernist art history Alexander Kauffman Michel Foucault’s writing transformed the field of museum studies.1 As Kevin Hetherington reflected in a recent state-of-the-field volume, ‘Foucault can be seen as one of the two leading theoretical inspirations for critical museum studies since the 1980s [along with Pierre Bourdieu].’2 Foucault himself wrote little about the subject, but devoted substantial attention to the concurrent institutional formations of the prison, the clinic, and the asylum. Adaptations of those writings by Tony Bennett, Eilean Hooper-Greenhill, and other museum studies scholars triggered a reconfiguration of the field, sometimes known as ‘the new museology’ or ‘critical museum studies.’3 Instead of fading over time, Foucault’s presence has only grown as scholarship and public discourse around museums has increasingly focused on issues of power, authority, and subjectivity. Modernist art history enacted a parallel reception of Foucault, one that was transformative for that field as well, but is less well recognised today. Central to that reception was the art historian, critic, and curator Douglas Crimp, who died in 2019 at the age of seventy-four. Nearly a decade before Bennett and Hooper-Greenhill introduced Foucault to museum studies, Crimp wrote in an essay he boldly titled ‘On the Museum’s Ruins’: ‘Foucault has concentrated on modern institutions of confinement: the asylum, the clinic and the prison; for him, it is these institutions that produce the respective discourses of madness, illness, and criminality. There is another institution of confinement ripe for analysis in Foucault’s terms: the 1 This article originated in a paper for the 2019 College Art Association Annual Conference panel ‘Foucault and Art History’, convened by Catherine M.
