Tou Scene, Kvitsøygata 25, 4014 Stavanger EXHIBITION – "POST-STREET ART" Nuart Plus is our annual series of academic and industry talks from some of the world leading artists, academic and industry professionals. 11 September – 16 October 2016 A dynamic series of talks, presentations, worshops, panel debates, Opening hours: Wed – Fri 12·00 – 17·00 / Sat – Sun 11·00 – 16·00 film screenings and more take place in the days before the exhibition Tou Scene Beer Halls, Kvitsøygata 25, 4014 Stavanger opening. Previous guests have included Ron English, Swoon, Saber, Chris Stain, Dan Witz, Brad Downey, Logan Hicks and many, many more. Adult: 80kr Student/Senior: 50kr The events are recorded and made available on our website for research Children under 11 are free and educational purposes for free. The archive will be developed over the coming years into what we hope eventually gives an important historical insight into the life and times of Street Art. This year's Nuart Plus symposium will explore the topics of "Utopia and Rights to the City" and "Dada, Art and Everyday Life" on the 500th anniversary of Thomas More's "Utopia" and 100th anniversary of the founding of Dada. Artists, academics, media and industry experts will come together to present a series of keynote speeches, presentations and panel debates in the days leading up to the Nuart exhibition opening. The curatorial theme of this year's Nuart Festival covers two very special STREET ART anniversaries that relate to Street Art practice in the broadest sense. More's classic novel “Utopia” not only introduced the word and concept to the world, but was also the first to give form to an idea that has captured the human imagination throughout history: that by imagining TOURS a better world is possible, we are empowered to create it. The birth of Dada at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, Switzerland, heralded the first movement that advocated for and attempted – much like Street Art – to “abolish the separation between art and daily life”, something Nuart has been dedicated to realising since its inception in 2001. Join us on our weekly Nuart Festival Street Art Tours, where our Nuart (all events are free unless otherwise stated) Guides will discuss the works and the artists behind them, as well as some insider and behind the scenes stories. This year we have two Street Art Tours: DAY 1 — THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 8 NUART FESTIVAL STREET ART TOURS take you from Tou Scene in and around Storhaug and focus on the new artworks created for 21·30 Nuart Festival 2016.

    AUCUN RETOUR POSSIBLE – AN EVENT LOGIC OF THE AVANT-GARDE Alan Prohm in Transferts, appropriations et fonctions de l’avant-garde dans l’Europe intermédiaire et du Nord ed. Harri Veivo Cahiers de la Nouvelle Europe No. 16 2012 Kunst und Kamp, poster, April, 1986 Inherent in the notion of an avant-garde is the irreversibility of its measure of progress. The vector of a cultural effort need be neither straight nor singular nor without setbacks for this to be asserted: to occupy a position that has been surpassed is to not be avant-garde. It is stunning the degree to which this logic is disregarded by fans. Art historians can hardly be faulted for keeping warm the corpses of their favorite moments. It is a mortuary profession, and for many sufficiently well paid to keep up their confidence that scholars are anyway smarter than the artists they study; “We’ll be the judge of what’s dead and when.” More charitably, taking scholars as journalists, there are new sightings of the avant-garde to report every day, so we should expect the glorified blogging of peer-review journals on the topic to continue. And here, too, there is no foul. What approaches the kind of tragedy worth regretting, however, is that so many people of such lively genius should suffer their intellectual enthusiasms to be diverted, and secured off the track of any real cultural agency. The main veins of avant-garde activity in the European sphere, the now canonical cycle Futurism-Dada- Surrealism-Etcetera, gambled art and literature’s stakes in the centuries-old entitlement for a new chance at impacting the human situation.

  • The Lady of Edgecliff
    The Lady of Edgecliff Annie Peachman Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney Street art is a developing postmodern phenomenon with the profound capacity to challenge the cultural assumptions underpinning modernity and a modernist approach to art. Taking Bruno Dutot’s work, ‘The Lady of Edgecliff’, or ‘Oucha’ as a starting point, one can explore the cultural importance of street art, as it elucidates the contradictions inherent to contemporary society – which exists as a hybrid of both modernity and postmodernity. Postmodernism informs the way in which street art contests the prevalence of empiricism within modernity, which values technique over symbolic meaning and aesthetics. Street art simultaneously challenges the modernist notion of progress towards utopian ideals, often focusing more on dystopia and revisiting the past through the use of intertextuality, viewing the world as a simulacrum rather than as an absolute truth. In its total public accessibility, street art also challenges the notion of art as a commodity, as well as the modernist association of art with institutionalism, which positions the artist as a tradesperson, and the art world as a business. Yet with increasing numbers of acclaimed street artists shifting to exhibiting in galleries and accepting commissions for their work, the distinctions between postmodern and modern art are blurred. As such, street art reveals the enduring vestiges of modernity in contemporary culture, and thus questions how such ideas remain in conjunction with the ideas of postmodernism– suggesting that contemporary society is not unconditionally postmodern but instead exists as a hybridised culture, with interrelated and interdependent elements of both postmodernity and modernity central to our contemporary milieu.

In May, the Press Release George Floyd Protests as part of the Black Lives Matter Movement began in Minneapolis and soon spread over not only the entire United States but across the globe. During the pandemic and the protests, more and more people have united to confront both the virus and systemic inequality. Battling natural disasters and human injustice is not heroism. It is “a matter of common decency” (Camus, 1947) that everyone should maintain. Besides supporting peaceful protests while keeping social distance, what extra efforts can we take as art professionals to help people who have been suffering? Art has always been powerful and educational for the public. Even now, when physical access to art is extremely limited, creative insights, reflections and manifestos are not constrained. On the contrary, this is a time that motivates artists to recapitulate aspects of their work and move toward new breakthroughs. It is our responsibility to struggle and explore, to look for an outlet for our anxieties or a solution to the newly disrupted reality of life, and to respond to the upheavals that have happened or are about to happen.

    (PR)OBAMA ART & PROPAGANDA: UN(PRECEDENT)ED VISUAL COLLECTIONS OF HOPE, PROGRESS AND CHANGE? Kathleen Keys Boise State University …an onslaught of creative coercion to an unassuming American public… showing the world that the acts of a few can truly move and motivate millions —Morgan Spurlock Obama heybama bama bama O bama hey bama Obama… bam O bama hey Superstar! —Appropriated by the author from the song Hosanna—Jesus Christ Superstar Yet the art community has responded to the Obama administration’s contradictions, hypocrisies, and distortions with near total silence —Patrick Courrielche Three of these books chronicle visual collections celebrating the nomination, candidacy, and election of Barack Obama. The fourth book explores one particular image from this Obama art movement. Together they document the recent outpouring of fine art, street art, graphic design and other visual work presented and distributed by artists, exhibitions, the Internet and other digital means, and establish a foundation for socially concerned inquiry, and for creating related art education opportunities. Showcasing hundreds of artworks and several participant and observer narratives from arts, cultural, and marketing insiders, these four books catalog the Obama art phenomenon. Comprised mainly of portraits these artworks project qualities of sincerity, idealism, vision, accountability, progressivism, a contemplative nature, and an undying commitment to change. These images illustrate how artists, designers, and organizers resonated with the Obama identity, and serve in its continued construction. In early 2008, the NAEA’s Women’s Caucus (Anonymous, 2008) discussed the importance of engaging with emerging political candidate imagery. “These pictorial statements are a hot source to motivate critique, to study the formative process of visual culture, and to apply critical investigations to create revisions” (p.

  • The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education Is Unprecedented, in Many Ways
    Un(precedent)ED The 30th Volume of The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education is unprecedented, in many ways. First the theme is unprecedented, or, rather, Un(predecedent)ED. This typographical wordplay, quite common throughout the history of JSTAE, troubles habitual readings of the term, allowing for interpretations that open up possibilities, however brief, for new forms of research, theorizing and artmaking. Unprecedented. Having no previous example.1 Un-presidented. The potential for shifts in power as Americans vote for a presidential candidate every four years. Unprecedented. The election of Barack Hussein Obama as 44th President of the United States (having no previous example). Un-precedent-ED. That which has no previous educational example. Un-ED. Uneducational. These are just a few of the interpretations of the volume theme, which each of the authors addresses in a unique manner. Some approach the theme head on, while others choose a more oblique angle of analysis and exploration. Some deal with unprecedented events and actions, while others discuss historical examples, analyzing the development of precedence in art educational practice, and offering suggestions for novel forms of research, pedagogy, and artmaking. Ed Check offers the reader a historically rich reading of class distinctions, in A National Labor Project: Recovering Unprecedented Numbers of Working Class Lives and Histories through Art. He discusses the lack of previous examples regarding class distinctions in art educational practice, while identifying possibilities for making these histories visible. His essay includes a number of strong images that speak to many aspects of working class life, and documentation of artwork that does the same.

  • With, on and Against Street Signs on Art Made out of Street Signs
    SAUC - Journal V4 - N1 Changing times: Tactics With, On and Against Street Signs On Art Made out of Street Signs Mª Isabel Carrasco Castro Marist College Madrid Program C/ Madrid, s/n Ofce: 9.0.40 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Getafe, Spain [email protected] Abstract In The Practice of Everyday Life (1980), Michel de Certeau suggests the idea of a city in which there are, on one side, strategies of information, surveillance, control and infrastructure design laid out by the system and, on the other one, tactics defning the how-to-do of the users with regards to that system, that is, the operations by which they adapt them to align their own interests and needs. The texts allows us to examine the interventions of urban artists as a tactic characterized, as defned by De Certeau, as the harnessing of the system's resources (making do). This is more specifcally translated into adaptability, development on a space they do not own, identifcation and utilization of the occasion (time) and the inventiveness of diverting time and resources (shortcut and la perruque). In this work, we will take trafc signs of restriction and prohibition as one of the urban components that highlight the normativization of public spaces through the direct message of "NO" (not doing). Many artists have, in previous years, developed an interest in the artistic and symbolic possibilities of these signs and have developed works (tactics) as their response to them. Dan Witz (Chicago, 1957), Clet (Bretagne, 1966), Brad Dowey (Louisville, 1980) or DosJotas (Madrid, 1982) are good examples of this.

  • 2-Acynthia Putri
    Culture Jamming Versus Popular Culture Leonardia Acynthia Putri Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta Jl. Babarsari No. 6, Yogyakarta 55281 Email: [email protected] Abstract: This literature study researched Adbusters, the anti-commercial organization, and described the organization's activities and media usage, mainly in the period of 2007-2010, which critized the populer culture. Adbusters is an organization which performs "Culture Jamming"; a rebellious act reacting towards commercialism domination in many aspects including popular culture. Compared to other similar organizations, Adbusters has been executing more various activisms using several media which other organizations do not use. This study used the Adbusters' official website and blogs as main data sources. The data of Adbusters' activities and media usage were categorized and analyzed, thus the tendency of its development can be described. This study also analyzed Adbusters' activity using Media Hegemony Theory and Political Economy Media Theory. The media has been dominated by a certain group that owns politic and economic power, so the information flow has been dominated by them. Media and its contents have been commercialized, thus capitalism and commercialism have been considered as a common system that should run the world. Adbusters has been trying to stop the domination and change the society's way of thinking into a more critical way of thinking. Key words: culture jamming, popular culture, Adbusters, Media Hegemony, Political Economy Media Abstrak: Studi literatur ini meneliti tentang Adbusters, sebuah organisasi anti komersial, dengan mendeskripsikan aktivitas serta penggunaan media organisasi tersebut dari tahun 2007-2010 dalam mengkritisi budaya populer.
