  • Art 381 Repeat Perform Record
    Sculpture 381 Fall 2013 T/Th 1-4 Repeat, Perform, Record Billy Culiver E.A.T. 9 Evening in Art and Technology A Class Exploring the Intersection Between Theater, Dance and Visual Art The studio art course, Repeat, Perform, Record we will consider the dynamic of live bodies in physical spaces and read critical text and philosophical ideas about performance art. You will have 3 assignment: 1. Work Ethic-Duration/Record, 2. Work Ethic Labor and a collaborative work done with dancers, 3. Spaces Created by Action/Action Created by Spaces. Each assignment is directly aligned to a set of readings and visiting artists who will join the class. In this class, I attempt to honor the radical roots of Performance Art, with its history of expanding notions of how we make art, how we witness art, and what we understand the function of art to be. Performance art in the studio art context emerged from the visual and plastic arts rather than the traditional categories of dance and theater. From the beginning “Performance” was part of the modernist movements such as Futurism, Dada. With the emergence of Fluxus, Situationalism, Happenings, and Conceptualist practices the correspondence with the conscious use of space, time and process became central to Performance Art. With in the last decade, the concept of space, time and process have blended to expand Performance Art, making it a contemporary tool for expression with diverse directions of visual art, theater, dance, music and social practices. Contemporary live art now employs many different forms of experimentation diminishing the known or rehearsed dynamics of performance by opening it to improvisation and chance operations.

  • James Turrell, Architect (Of Light)
    James Turrell, Architect (of Light) When we encounter artists like James Turrell working outside the traditional mediums and institutional entities, we struggle to define them in words. We try to resort to the proven labels, but none really apply in Turrell’s case. It is surprising how critics and scholars usually refer to him simply as a light and space artist. But does that give justice to the person and his accomplishments? Yes, his work is about light and seeing, relating to perception and space, but how about architecture, science, psychology, astronomy, sculpture, expanded filmmaking, mythology? Aristotle described the educated person as being knowledgeable in the arts, languages, philosophy, mathematics, history and science. In more recent times, Leonardo da Vinci fits that Aristotelian ideal and is often considered the archetype of the Renaissance Man. Can we, for lack of a better word, ascribe this label to James Turrell, a person that is unknown outside the art world? The more we discover about his art and his search for answers, the more complex it becomes to define this remarkable artist. As it would be impossible within the scope of this paper to explore all the different attributes of Turrell’s work, I will try to shed some light on the architectural side of his art. “I like to say that my work is architecture of light into space. But on the other hand, I had to move a lot of material. Even Roden Crater, just to get this celestial vaulting to happen above you, we moved 1.2 million cubic yards of earth.

  • Obesity Epidemic’
    Art & Activism in the Age of the ‘Obesity Epidemic’ by Pamela Grombacher A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in HISTORY OF ART, DESIGN AND VISUAL CULTURE Department of Art and Design University of Alberta © Pamela Grombacher, 2014 Abstract This thesis considers three contemporary artworks that open up new possibilities for size acceptance activism, a political movement that arose in the late 1960s to combat fat stigma and weight-based discrimination. Fatness is vilified in many parts of the world as an unhealthy, unattractive, and, most significantly, immoral embodiment. This is due, in part, to “healthism,” or the moralization of health, and to the perceived controllability of body size. In cultures where health is viewed as a moral obligation and size is viewed as a personal choice, fat people are discriminated against for supposedly choosing to be unhealthy. Fat stigma has worsened in the wake of the “obesity epidemic,” the alarmist rhetoric of which frames fatness as a lurking and deadly contagion that threatens to destroy public health. There are those within the size acceptance movement, however, who question the legitimacy of this “epidemic” as a true health crisis and suggest that it is instead a moral panic that reflects cultural anxieties about personal accountability. As politicians, medical practitioners and diet industrialists wage a “War on Obesity” to eradicate fatness and thus rid society of this alleged scourge, size acceptance activists resist weight-based discrimination by arguing that stigma, rather than fat, is the true enemy to be conquered. I suggest new possibilities for resistance by analyzing artworks that subvert hegemonic notions of fat in novel and nuanced ways.

  • The Post-Traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews
    The Post-traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews “A brilliant cross-disciplinary comparative analysis that joins a new path in theatre studies, revitalizing the artistic heritage of two great twentieth-century masters: Tadeusz Kantor and Jerzy Grotowski.” —Professor Antonio Attisani, Department of Humanities, University of Turin “Among the landmarks of postwar avant-garde theatre, two Polish works stand out: Grotowski’s Akropolis and Kantor’s Dead Class. Magda Romanska scrupulously corrects misconceptions about these crucial works, bringing to light linguistic elements ignored by Anglophone critics and an intense engagement with the Holocaust very often overlooked by their Polish counterparts. This is vital and magnificently researched theatre scholarship, at once alert to history and to formal experiment. Romanska makes two pieces readers may think they know newly and urgently legible.” —Martin Harries, author of “Forgetting Lot’s Wife: On Destructive Spectatorship,” University of California, Irvine “As someone who teaches and researches in the areas of Polish film and theatre – and European theatre/theatre practice/translation more broadly – I was riveted by the book. I couldn’t put it down. There is no such extensive comparative study of the work of the two practitioners that offers a sustained and convincing argument for this. The book is ‘leading edge.’ Romanska has the linguistic and critical skills to develop the arguments in question and the political contexts are in general traced at an extremely sophisticated level. This is what lends the writing its dynamism.” —Dr Teresa Murjas, Director of Postgraduate Research, Department of Film, Theatre and Television, University of Reading “This is a lucidly and even beautifully written book that convincingly argues for a historically and culturally contextualized understanding of Grotowski’s and Kantor’s performances.
