Abstract The book is the most complete account of a central technique of modern visual art, and the first to establish its many and fertile innovations. Full text not available from this repository. More information Published date: Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton, both members of the group, made ample use of the collage method. Paolozzi created collage-type scrapbooks while Hamilton juxtaposed all sorts of materials. My Marilyn from is made from oil paints and photographic sheets on panel. In the States, at the peak of the Vietnam war, Martha Rosler started creating photomontages reminiscent of John Heartfield, critiquing the military conflict and the complacency of the American consumer. Meanwhile, Rosalyn Drexler collaged pictures from B-movies and tabloids directly onto her canvases, and then painted over them in a very neat, flat style. This detailed and eclectic timeline of collage offers a deep insight into the important periods and artists in the history of collage art. Unfortunately, it is beyond the scope of this article to discuss all the contributors to this artistic method. Yet it has become clear that collage has been telling the story of each different artistic generation and the world they experienced in fascinating ways. Today, many young artists continue to work with collage. It is a language of its own, a specific way of thinking, seeing, working and being. Young artists return to this world where they tear, rip, paste, work with their hands. Zoubok continues to note that collage can be understood as the foundation of the digital experience — its layering and interpolation are rooted in collage culture. Read our next chapter on collage to discover five extraordinary contemporary collage artists around the world working with the medium in innovative ways.

The Continuation of Collage. Relevant sources to learn more:. The History of Collage in Art - Tracing the Medium | Artland Magazine Max Ernst blended the visual and the verbal in his collage novels from the late s. In , Louis Aragon organised an exhibition dedicated solely to collage at the Galerie Goemans. Man Ray and Picabia were included in this exhibition, even though they did not actually make collage but did work with the collage principle. It is the collage-type effect which produces the gap between these two. Soon after, in , he started a series called Spanish Dancer , three works in which he suddenly abandoned literal painting and instead stuck all kinds of objects to a non-canvas surface. In the late s, in the last decade of his life, Henri Matisse made a significant shift in his artistic methodology and turned to cut paper as his primary medium, using scissors as his tool. His new creations were called cut-outs. Using gouache paint, Matisse would colour sheets of paper and cut these sheets into different shapes and sizes. Often, they were inspired by the natural world — flowers and plants — and at other times they were abstract. Then, he arranged those different cut-outs into lively compositions. They started out modest in size, but over time they grew in scale, becoming as large as murals. The cut-out medium allowed Matisse to finally make the kind of monumental works he had wanted to make for a long time, transcending the confines of easel painting and working with a new type of free reign. The paper cut-outs could be pinned into place, easily rearranged, and seamlessly fused colour with his signature arabesque lines. His line drawing, he had once said, most directly translated his emotions. Now, with the cut-outs, his saw himself as drawing with scissors. It became the place where some of the most audacious, avant-garde art of the times was shown. Joseph Cornell is particularly interesting as a complex, shy figure who lived all his life with his mother and never had a formal art education. Yet, his Surrealist assemblage works housed in shallow wooden boxes were to make him one of the most important artists of the 20 th century working in collage and assemblage. It was around the time that Pollock was lost in his alcoholism and unable to paint that she retreated to her little studio and found solace in the cutting, tearing, and pasting of her collage work. Exhibiting alongside Krasner in was the collage artist Ann Ryan. Ryan had seen a Kurt Schwitters show in and became deeply inspired. Incredibly, Ryan rarely worked on a larger scale than postcard size. Yet she was still creating her own monumental abstractions in her head; she had a monumental vision on a very intimate scale. Californian art was therefore, in a sense, free to develop fully of its own accord. Collage and assemblage became important elements of this development. Clay Spohn, for example, who had studied under Fernand Leger in Paris in the s, made mixed media-works and assemblage from all kinds of found objects — scrap metal and other cast-off materials. Los Angeles after became a melting pot of cultures, and artists like Bertold Brecht and Man Ray even lived there for some time, bringing a touch of Europe and its avant-garde with them.

  • Allan Kaprow: the Happenings Are Dead, Long Live the Happenings
    1 ALLAN KAPROW: THE HAPPENINGS ARE DEAD, LONG LIVE THE HAPPENINGS Happenings are today's only underground avant-garde. Regularly, since 1958, the end of the Happenings has been announced--always by those who have never come near one--and just as regularly since then, Happenings have been spreading around the globe like some chronic virus, cunningly avoiding the familiar places and occurring where they are least expected. "Where Not To Be Seen: At a Happening," advised Esquire Magazine a year ago, in its annual two-page scoreboard on what's in and out of Culture. Exactly! One goes to the Museum of Modern Art to be seen. The Happenings are the one art activity that can escape the inevitable death-by-publicity to which all other art is condemned, because, designed for a brief life, they can never be over-exposed; they are dead, quite literally, every time they happen. At first unconsciously, then deliberately, they played the game of planned obsolescence, just before the mass media began to force the condition down the throats of the standard arts (which can little afford the challenge). For the latter, the great question has become "How long can it last?"; for the Happenings it always was "How to keep on going?". Thus, "underground" took on a different meaning. Where once the artist's enemy was the smug bourgeois, now he was the hippie journalist. In 1961 I wrote in an article, "To the extent that a Happening is not a commodity but a brief event, from the standpoint of any publicity it may receive, it may become a state of mind.

Abstract Purpose This article focuses on a designed research methodology to distil existing research findings from an ESRC/AHRC funded Japan/UK network on location-based Virtual Reality (VR) experiences for children in order to generate new knowledge. Design/methodology/approach The structured co-production methodology was undertaken in three stages. These were: (1) a collaborative workshop which produced a series of collage narratives, (2) collaborating with a non-human entity in the form of a digital coded tool to reconfigure the workshop responses and mediate the hierarchy of roles, (3) the co-production of a zine as a collaborative reflection method, which shared via postal service enabled a dialogue and exchange of round robin interventions by the network members. Findings The analysis of the data collected in this study highlighted five themes that could be used by other researchers on a wide range of projects. These were: (1) Knowing through making, (2) The importance of process, (3) Beyond linear representations, (4) Agency of physical materials, (5) Agency of digital code. Research limitations/implications The context of the study being undertaken during the first phase of the global pandemic, revealed insight into a method of co-production that was undertaken under emergency remote working conditions.

    Sonderdrucke aus der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg MONIKA FLUDERNIK Second-person narrative as a test case for narratology The limits of realism Originalbeitrag erschienen in: Harold F. Mosher (Hrsg.): Second-person narrative. Dekalb, Ill. : Northern Illinois Univ., 1994. (Style; 28,3) S. 445-479 Monika Fludernik University of Freiburg, Germany Second-Person Narrative As a Test Case for Narratology: The Limits of Realism This essay will concentrate on three related issues that connect with sec- ond-person fiction. I will start by reprinting and (re)analyzing the narrative typology presented in my "Second Person Fiction," which attempts to revise and mediate between the Genettean and Stanzelian models. The diversity and inde- terminacy of second-person writing will be illustrated by a number of examples from very different sectors of the typology. I shall argue that second-person fiction does not correlate with a specific "narrative situation," and that the category "person" does not constitute a theoretically meaningful concept. A second area for investigation will be the typical ways in which second-person fiction can be said to undermine realist narrative parameters and frames. As a consequence second-person fiction helps to deconstruct standard categories of narratological enquiry. Illustrations of this point will be taken from Gabriel Josipovici's novel Contre-jour (1986) and from selected short stories. The third topic that I will treat here relates to the function of second-person story telling, particularly as regards the

    Animal Artistic Agency in Performative Interspecies Art in the Twenty-First Century Jessica Ullrich Johann Wolfgang-Goethe Universität, Frankfurt am Main [email protected] ABSTRACT: Traditional aesthetic places non-human animals in nature and not in culture. Non-human animals are generally considered to be artless beings without any urge or capacity to create aesthetic objects. To the contrary, the ability and the need to produce art is perceived as one of the last thresholds of humanity. Nevertheless, in the last decades more and more contemporary artists involve living non-human ani- mals in artistic productions. By doing so they declare some non-human animals to be co-authors of artworks and trust in their creative agen- cy. But is it legitimate to take animal contributions to installations, sculptures, video works, or paintings seriously? Can non-human animals be aesthetic actors in their own right? The text focuses on interspecies artworks that only come into existence with the help of non-human ani- mals. While it seems clear that the participating non-human animals display some form of agency, it is debatable if they can be called artists. KEYWORDS: Artistic Agency; Animal Agency; Interspecies Art; Animal Aesthetics; Contemporary Art. Agencia artística animal en el arte performativo interespecies en el siglo XXI RESUMEN: La estética tradicional sitúa a los animales no humanos en la naturaleza y no en la cultura. Los animales no humanos son ge- neralmente considerados seres carentes de arte sin ningún impulso o capacidad para crear objetos estéticos. Por el contrario, la habilidad y la necesidad de producir arte es percibida como uno de los últimos umbrales de la humanidad.

Mixed media on canvas, etched magnesium, aluminium and fiberglass. 316,2 x 328.3 79.4 cm (124.5 x 129.25 x 31.25 in) Zurich, Switzerland (March 20, 2019) Plutschow Gallery and New York gallery Edelman Arts join forces to present a groundbreaking exhibition of monumental works entitled SIZE MATTERS. April 12th to July 15th, 2019, (Waldmannstrasse 6, 8001 Zürich). After much historical debate, we have decided that size really does matter—as with size comes impact! For the first time seen on this level and amalgamation, this grand display of monumental works installed includes paintings, sculpture, and works on paper from eleven top international artists: Pier Paolo Calzolari, Larry Poons, Joyce Pensato, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Pruitt + Early, Mimmo Rotella, Julian Schnabel, Leon Löwentraut and Miranda Pissarides. Each artist embodies a unique style, sensibility, and set of influences, yet together these artists working on a large scale prove the impact and strength of monumental artworks. Neons, leather, tobacco leaves, wires: these are materials – both ordinary and unconventional - used by revered artist, Pier Paolo Calzolari, one of the leading figures of the Arte Povera movement. Combining these raw materials in large scale hanging sculptures such as Rapsodie Inepte and Five Neons, the artist explores the transformation of ordinary materials and the essential fragility of objects. Larry Poons has re-emerged today as one of the most exciting artists grounded in Color Field painting and Abstract Expressionism. Two monumental paintings, Shores of Orion and Leaving Chords, draw in the viewer from afar with their impressive scale and hypnotically muted color palettes.
