You are advised to read through the entire paper as helpful starting points may be found outside your chosen endorsement. If you are entered for an endorsed specification, you should produce work predominantly in your chosen discipline for the Externally Set Assignment. If you are entered for the unendorsed specification, you may have been working in two or more different disciplines in Unit 3. For the Externally Set Assignment you may choose to produce work in one discipline only. The starting points in each section will help you generate ideas. You may follow them closely, use them as background information or develop your own interpretation of the theme. Read the whole paper as any section may provide the inspiration for your focus. You should provide evidence that all of the four Assessment Objectives have been addressed. It is anticipated that A2 candidates will show in the Externally Set Assignment how their knowledge, skills and understanding have developed through their work in Unit 3. The Assessment Objectives require you to: Develop your ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. Experiment with and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining your ideas as your work develops. Record in visual and/or other forms ideas, observations and insights relevant to your intentions, demonstrating your ability to reflect on your work and progress. Present a personal, informed and meaningful response demonstrating critical understanding, realising intentions and, where appropriate, making connections between visual, oral or other elements. 2 P40697A Preparatory Studies Your preparatory studies may include sketchbooks, notebooks, worksheets, design sheets, large-scale rough studies, samples, swatches, test pieces, maquettes, digital material… everything that fully shows your progress towards your outcomes. Preparatory studies should show: • your development of a personal focus based on the theme • a synthesis of ideas • evidence of your development and control of visual language skills • critical review and reflection, recording your thoughts, decisions and development of ideas • the breadth and depth of your research from appropriate primary and contextual sources • relevant selection with visual and/or written analyses rather than descriptive copying or listing processes. Timed Examination Your preparatory studies will be used to produce an outcome(s) under examination conditions in twelve hours. 3 P40697A Turn over The Theme: Combinations and Alliances Throughout history certain combinations and alliances have created extremely powerful and occasionally dangerous liaisons. Aside from the great art movements, the art community has seen many individual examples such as Michelangelo and Pope Clement VII, Caravaggio and Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, Rodin and Rose Beuret, Gilbert and George, Anthony Green and Mary Cozens-Walker, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, Charles Saatchi and the Young British Artists, to name but a few. Each of these partnerships resulted in the production of some remarkable works of art. Still-life painters have always recognised that combinations of certain objects create dynamic visual effects, with the arrangement and choice of the subjects being crucial to the success of the final work. The genre reached a zenith in Holland in the 17th century with skulls, dead animals and shrivelled leaves being carefully juxtaposed with living plants, flowers and sumptuous fruit. These compositions exaggerated and emphasised the individual qualities of each object, as well as metaphorically commenting on the fragility of human existence. Architects also recognise the strength of certain combinations, humanising vast concrete structures with the inclusion of living organic forms. The contemporary architects Patrick Blanc and Edouard Francois are pioneering new ways of creating ‘growing walls’ to achieve this. Many artists have a particular attachment to a technique or particular piece of equipment. Henri Cartier Bresson was inseparable from his Leica 35 mm camera and this alliance produced some of the most remarkable and sensitive photographs of the 20th century. It could be said that his intimate knowledge of the device was in part responsible for the success of the images. Wild plants and animals have formed unlikely alliances with urban environments. Any suburb, back garden, park or canal towpath will demonstrate the tenacity of nature to reclaim the tarmac and concrete, as neglected cracks and rough surfaces provide nutrients for tiny plants and lichens. Right in the heart of major cities wild peregrines nest on office blocks and towers, adapting to the new environments; they co-exist with feral pigeons and foxes that thrive on the litter from fast food outlets. Here are some further suggestions generated by the theme that might inspire your journey. • Cars/drivers, horses/jockeys, sheepdogs/shepherds • Cross-pollination, courtship displays, photosynthesis, symbiosis • Clubs, meetings, fairs, markets, sports • Fashion, advertising, bill posters • Seagulls/rubbish tips, foxes/towns, swifts/eaves • Road works/traffic lights, commuters/trains • Cogs/gears, pulleys/cables, toys/batteries • Snow/sledges, beach/sandcastles, graffiti/dereliction • Egg/cress, fish/chips, spring/clean • Relationships, communities • Religions, politics • Boats/water, kites/wind, music/orchestras 4 P40697A Fine Art Optional disciplines: • Painting and drawing • Printmaking • Sculpture • Alternative media Optional starting points: • Physical collisions, whether intentional or accidental, can provide artists with spectacular visual reference material. Objects, people and landscapes have all provided the subject matter and the interpretation of them has utilised many different mediums. War artists such as Peter Howson, Maggi Hambling, Howard Brodie, Vasily Vereshchagin, John Singer Sargent and Graham Sutherland documented the devastation created by armed conflict. The shipwreck of the frigate Medusa in 1816 provided a rich source of inspiration for the artist Theodore Gericault. Sea of Ice by Caspar David Friedrich exploits the incredible forms created by masses of sea ice colliding. Contemporary artist Tom McGrath has used crashed cars as subject matter in paintings such as Wreck 2. • In many portraits the negative space surrounding the subject contributes as much to the impact as the model. The combination of environment and subject creating powerful dynamics within the composition frequently give insight into the character of the sitter and artist through the inclusion of metaphorical artefacts. The Spanish artist Diego Velásquez was a master of the use of negative space with portraits such as Las Meninas, exploiting the composition to provide a wealth of narrative information. Occasionally, an artist such as Ken Howard will intentionally overpower his model with the environment giving glimpses of their intimacy and the unique light in the studio. • Site-specific sculpture relies on the combination of the specific characteristics of the environment, working in contrast or harmony with the piece itself. Recently, sculptors have been asked to consider religious buildings, such as cathedrals, as gallery spaces. Whilst there has been no specific requirement that the spiritual nature of the site influences the work, many naturally do so. Artists are asked to consider the physical aspects of the sites and construct or place works sympathetic to those spaces. The Crucible exhibition held in 2010 in Gloucester Cathedral resulted in considerable critical acclaim fuelling further interest in the potential of such venues. • Artists have always been interested in, and intrigued by, the optical effects of colour and how these can be exploited in their works. Certain combinations of colour can create illusions altering the perception of the painting or sculpture. The Op art movement explored these concepts in their purest form with painters

  • Philosophy in the Artworld: Some Recent Theories of Contemporary Art
    philosophies Article Philosophy in the Artworld: Some Recent Theories of Contemporary Art Terry Smith Department of the History of Art and Architecture, the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA; [email protected] Received: 17 June 2019; Accepted: 8 July 2019; Published: 12 July 2019 Abstract: “The contemporary” is a phrase in frequent use in artworld discourse as a placeholder term for broader, world-picturing concepts such as “the contemporary condition” or “contemporaneity”. Brief references to key texts by philosophers such as Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, and Peter Osborne often tend to suffice as indicating the outer limits of theoretical discussion. In an attempt to add some depth to the discourse, this paper outlines my approach to these questions, then explores in some detail what these three theorists have had to say in recent years about contemporaneity in general and contemporary art in particular, and about the links between both. It also examines key essays by Jean-Luc Nancy, Néstor García Canclini, as well as the artist-theorist Jean-Phillipe Antoine, each of whom have contributed significantly to these debates. The analysis moves from Agamben’s poetic evocation of “contemporariness” as a Nietzschean experience of “untimeliness” in relation to one’s times, through Nancy’s emphasis on art’s constant recursion to its origins, Rancière’s attribution of dissensus to the current regime of art, Osborne’s insistence on contemporary art’s “post-conceptual” character, to Canclini’s preference for a “post-autonomous” art, which captures the world at the point of its coming into being. I conclude by echoing Antoine’s call for artists and others to think historically, to “knit together a specific variety of times”, a task that is especially pressing when presentist immanence strives to encompasses everything.

  • Young British Artists: the Legendary Group
    Young British Artists: The Legendary Group Given the current hype surrounding new British art, it is hard to imagine that the audience for contemporary art was relatively small until only two decades ago. Predominantly conservative tastes across the country had led to instances of open hostility towards contemporary art. For example, the public and the media were outraged in 1976 when they learned that the Tate Gallery had acquired Carl Andre’s Equivalent VIII (the bricks) . Lagging behind the international contemporary art scene, Britain was described as ‘a cultural backwater’ by art critic Sarah Kent. 1 A number of significant British artists, such as Tony Cragg, and Gilbert and George, had to build their reputation abroad before being taken seriously at home. Tomake matters worse, the 1980s saw severe cutbacks in public funding for the arts and for individual artists. Furthermore, the art market was hit by the economic recession in 1989. For the thousands of art school students completing their degrees around that time, career prospects did not look promising. Yet ironically, it was the worrying economic situation, and the relative indifference to contemporary art practice in Britain, that were to prove ideal conditions for the emergence of ‘Young British Art’. Emergence of YBAs In 1988, in the lead-up to the recession, a number of fine art students from Goldsmiths College, London, decided it was time to be proactive instead of waiting for the dealers to call. Seizing the initiative, these aspiring young artists started to curate their own shows, in vacant offices and industrial buildings. The most famous of these was Freeze ; and those who took part would, in retrospect, be recognised as the first group of Young British Artists, or YBAs.

  • Damien Hirst
    Damien Hirst Damien Hirst The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, 1991 Glass, steel, silicon, formaldehyde and shark 2170 x 5420 x 1800 mm Photograph: Prudence Cuming Associates © Damien Hirst. All rights reserved, DACS 2010 1 Artist Rooms Damien Hirst is the most prominent artist to have emerged from the British art scene in the 1990s. His role as an artist and curator has proved fundamental in the development of the group that became internationally known as ‘the YBAs’ (Young British Artists). Hirst’s work asks viewers to question the main dilemmas of human existence: birth, illness, death and religion. The ARTIST ROOMS collection (jointly owned and managed by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland) comprises five important works spanning Hirst’s career including photography, painting, sculpture and installation. The early photograph taken in a morgue, With Dead Head is included, displaying an early preoccupation with death. Away from the Flock - one of his ‘Natural History’ works featuring dead animals floating in vitrines - is also on show, featuring a sheep floating in formaldehyde. The lamb looks alive but is dead, and references the religious theme of the lamb of God. Religion is explored further in the large triptych work, Trinity - Pharmacology, Physiology, Pathology, in which medical products become a replacement for faith. Hirst is also recognised for his mirrored pharmacy cabinets lined with shelves full of drug bottles, pills, sea shells or cigarette butts, and his paintings, both which he produces in series. Included in this collection is the early Controlled Substances Key Painting (Spot 4a), a canvas where a grid of dots of different colours is accompanied by letters in alphabetical order that seem to dissect and reorganise the very matter of painting into cells.

  • Thanks for Coming: Four Archival Collections and the Counterculture
    Thanks for Coming: Four Archival Collections and the Counterculture Introduction Douglas Field, Senior Lecturer in Twentieth Century American Literature, University of Manchester, UK. Email: [email protected] According to Richard Neville, founder of OZ, the most notorious magazine of the 1960s, “That unpopular label, Underground, embraces hippies, beats, mystics, madness, freaks, Yippies, crazies, crackpots, communards and anyone who rejects rigid political ideology.”1 And while the Beat Generation had challenged mainstream 1950s US culture and consciousness, the moniker Underground emerged in the early 1960s, followed by the term “counter culture” towards the end of the decade.2 According to the British polymath Jeff Nuttall, “duplicated magazines and home movies” defined the Underground, which began, he claims, in New York around 1964.3 1 Richard Neville, Play Power: Exploring the International Underground (New York: Random House, 1970), 18. 2 Theodore Roszak, The Making of a Counter Culture: Reflections on the Technocratic Society & Its Youthful Opposition (New York: Anchor Books, 1969). 3 Jeff Nuttall, Bomb Culture, ed. and introd. Douglas Field and Jay Jones (London: Strange Attractor, 2018), 174. Counterculture Studies 3(1) 2020 1 During the 1960s, British and North American counter-cultural activists forged extensive national and global networks through the publication of Underground newspapers, beginning with Village Voice, which was co-founded by Normal Mailer in 1955. Notable Underground newspapers included Los Angeles Free Press (1964) and International Times (IT), a London-based publication that became Europe’s first underground newspaper in 1966. The Underground Press Syndicate (UPS), later known as the Alternative Press Syndicate (APS) was also formed that year, encouraging wider distribution of articles by enabling participating members to freely reprint content.

  • FINANCIAL TIMES ______Billy Childish: Musician, Painter and Poet
    FINANCIAL TIMES __________________________________ Billy Childish: musician, painter and poet ‘The wildly prolific founder of The Stuckists talks about celebrity fans, his new album and why he’s ‘not bitter about anything’ Amy Fleming APRIL 15, 2016 ____________________________________________________ The day after I meet Billy Childish, the prolific painter, poet and rocker, he sends me an email detailing his daily routine. I had asked him how he generates so much work, including more than 40 poetry collections, approximately 150 albums and an annual solo art show (rotating between the London, Berlin and New York galleries who represent him). He got sidetracked when we spoke, but in true fastidious form, he didn’t like leaving a question partially answered. He had written it as a list: “cold shower/feed cat/meditation/prayers/riting (werk on novel)” [sic]. This is followed by exercise, such as qigong, swinging traditional Indian clubs, yoga or sometimes a short run “with a pal”. After which he has a small breakfast, and can then “begin the day”. On Sundays, he paints smaller pictures at his mum’s, and on Mondays he creates his 10ft canvases at his studio at Chatham Dockyard in Kent, where he worked as an apprentice stonemason 40 years ago. Other days can be for poems or songs or sculptures, except for Thursday afternoons, when he drops in at the London art co-operative, L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, for “anti-art activities”, making woodcuts or designs satirical political posters (Donald Trump being his latest victim). L-13 occupies a basement in Clerkenwell, an area of east London long associated with radicalism.
