Etnografski muzeji/zbirke i konstrukcija identiteta

Author(s): Ljiljana Gavrilović / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

This paper discusses museum theory and the local museum practice as factors building in construction/re-construction of an identity at various levels, including an individual, minority groups, and dominant cultural, socio-economic group. Furthermore, the paper assesses the role of museum in preventing/including certain social groups/categories toward access to culture as a means of social stratification, and in addition, possibilities of alteration of that same role toward more active participation of a museum in its social surroundings, in accordance with the new museum paradigm. Especially emphasized is an analysis of the role and meaning of ethnographic museums/collections in the process of shaping national/ethnic identities and further possibilities of inclusion of minorities, absent from the usual practice. This refers to the acquisition of objectsbelonging to a minority group, and on the other hand, to their underpresentation, which indicates a cultural segregation.

Isus Krist u slikarstvu

Author(s): Mirko Jozić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Slika ima čudesnu moć: ona može nevidljivo učiniti vidljivim. Iako se nevidljivo na slici se ne da egzaktno utvrditi, ono je u njoj nazočno – slika je uopće oblik nevidljivoga. Intenzitet i način nazočnosti nevidljivoga na slici predstavlja otvoreno pitanje za filozofe, kritičare umjetnosti i teologe. Ukoliko slika predstavlja Sveto, njezina moć lako može postati zamkom. Neke slike Svetoga ljudi smatraju čudotvornima, a nekima se čak mole kao da su one Božanstvo. Ta okolnost izaziva skepsu teologa i filozofa prema slici.

Fotomedializm Natalii LL — przestrzeń natury (ogród) w fotograficznym metatekście

Author(s): Karolina Tomczak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The text examines multi-faceted formal and meaning-related relationships in photo-media projectsby Natalia LL: performances such as Points of Support (Punkty podparcia), the Eagle constellation (1978) and the Pyramid (1979), which present the artist against the background of a broader nature. They bring up several important issues related to the innovativeness of a neo-avant-garde photograph of Wroclaw of the 1970s, i.e. permanent art and isomorphism that implement a conceptual metatextuality of a given work, post-manuality breaking with the modernist paradigm of art, multimedia nature, incorporating a performance, film and verbal text into the medium of photography used in an unusual way, the issue of a creative use of the nature-garden theme in experimental activities. As referred in the article the photo-media art by Natalia LL shows the artist as a deconstructing creator, a contemporary Eve who arranges the space of nature in a demiurgical way, arranging her feminine body in an artistic sign — and thus creates her self-reflexive and feminist compositions. At the same time, the text focuses on the pioneering nature and perversity of this art, as Natalia LL provocativelytoys with the archetypal nature-garden, keeps a modernist individualism and longing for metaphysics,ironic ambiguity, and humour of a simple message.

Ogród zamknięty — otwarta przestrzeń znaczeń

Author(s): Małgorzata Łuczyna / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The concept of an enclosed garden — latin hortus conclusus is a starting point of my PhD thesis.In my theoretical and practical exploration I have used that concept as a key to understanding and interpreting selected phenomena in contemporary culture. For the purposes of my research I have formulated the idea of ‘an open space of meanings’ — the space to which various historical and contemporary, sociological, philosophical and artistic phenomena can be attributed. The concept of enclosed garden is a key and a symbol rather than a reference to only one form of historical gardens. Such an approach to the subject is a natural consequence of my artistic exploration and experience. In many of my works I have used the context of the creation of personal space, and the sense of relation and identity of the place. For the purpose of this publication I have chosen three chapters, two of which present the theoretical context and the third chapter is an analysis of my own project connected to the topic. The final part is followed by a set of photographs.

La musique rap et les minorités ethniques des banlieues populaires françaises

Author(s): Małgorzata Kamecka / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The author of the article is interested in the subjects touched upon in the texts of French rappers. The first part of the paper presents a short story of rap in France, next characterizes suburbs of big French cities, and then goes on to the analysis of selected authors’ lyrics (MC Solaar, Ministère A.M.E.R., Disiz, Assassin and Keny Arkana).In the 1990s French rappers became spokespersons for socially marginalized residents of the suburbs of French agglomerations and, on their behalf, refer to important social problems, among which important to mention are: exclusion, unemployment, injustice, racial discrimination as well as disappointment in the model of integration. The rappers also make a reckoning with history restoring the memory of the colonial past of their ancestors. The author of the article forms a thesis that the engaged texts expressing social criticism become an anthropological record of the situation of ethnic minorities in France and make a significant voice in the process of forming their identity.

Obrazy nieobojętności. Szkice o zaangażowaniu w sztuce

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Individual studies on authors as different as Banksy and Bruno Schulz, Bruno Jasieński and Ro-man Dmowski, Vishal Bhardwaj and Mieczysław Berman, or Wacław Nałkowski and Alfred Döblin, show what they have in common - "indifference" to social issues. The humanistic, multi-threaded analysis of these images proves that literature, film, photography, reportage, photomon-tage, theatre, and street art always remain involved regardless of time and space.

Momentum. Umění a kosmopolitní modernita

Author(s): / Language(s): Czech

This book attempts to capture the momentum, a moment of transformation, where the complex processes related to the expansion of heterogeneous cosmopolitan modernity intersect and converge, processes that influence and change both Euro-American civilisation and the planet as a whole, and along the way transform the state, economic, cultural and social arrangement, the practices and the notions used in order to understand our existence in the world. The authors of the studies that make up this publication look at the problem from several selected aspects falling within the domains of sociology, culture and new media art, which have in common an effort to put current phenomena into more general and more profound social, political and cultural contexts. They strive to avoid presentism in order to observe the processes gathered under the umbrella of “cosmopolitan modernity” from the point of view of the longue durée.

Kars Geleneksel Giysilerinin Günümüz Giysi Tasarımına Katkıları

Author(s): Üyesi Emine Erdoğan / Language(s): Turkish

From its creation until the present day, humans have often not lived within their own borders and have constantly moved. During this change of location, they both carried their culture to where they went and adopted the culture of the places they settled. This situation either destroyed or complicated many traditions. Information on clothing, which is an important part of Kars culture, is included in historical documents piece by piece and independently from each other. It is seen that there is no holistic and comprehensive research on Kars clothing, which is important in terms of ethnic, national and sociocultural aspects. In addition, it is considered a necessity to make artistic publications on the elements of Kars clothing. In the book, the clothing characteristics of the people of Kars, as men and women, are examined; upper body wear, lower body wear and garment are detailed as complements. Afterwards, the clothes were examined and 12 women's capsule collections of size 38 were prepared. This collection is in a daily wearable style and consists of 30 pieces. Technical leaflets of the capsule collection prepared in the study were prepared and produced in the Coral Draw program. The clothes produced were dressed and photographed on the lifeless mannequin and arranged by cleaning the back in Photoshop. With this study, Kars clothes, which were about to disappear, were tried to be brought to light, and modern style women's clothes were produced based on these clothes. Thus, Kars traditional clothing, which is one of our cultural heritages and considered as cultural carrier, has been modernized technically and artistically, and has been made usable for present and future generations.

The Black Box Book: Archives and Curatorship in the Age of Transformation of Art Institutions

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The publication is the result of the efforts of an international collective of authors to capture the transformation of exhibition institutions and curation during the Covid 19 pandemic, with a focus on the year 2020. It seeks an answer to the question of how curatorial strategies, communication platforms and the social function of exhibition institutions have changed under the influence of rapid and external circumstances, that forced transition from physical gallery spaces to online. It critically reflects on the exhibition project Černá skříňka/The Black Box (Galerie TIC), in which several curatorial approaches were applied, including the use of artificial intelligence, and places it in the broad context of curatorial projects that were carried out at the same time at home and abroad as well as in the network of terminology apparatus, which is built around the phenomenon of online curation. The research method is a combination of writing the history of presence, mostly from the pen of direct participants, which lends authenticity and engagement to the texts, with theoretical reflection informed by digital and network media theory.

Author(s): Kateřina Alexandra Šťastná / Language(s): Czech

“Von der musikalischen Poesie” can be recognised as one of the hitherto unjustly neglected and less known writings of the Berlin provenance of the second half of the 18th century – despite the figure of Ch. G. Krause and his most extensive work had a considerable influence on the formation of the aesthetic views of his contemporaries as well as a generation younger authors. Furthermore, Krause's treatise influenced the formation of the Prague intellectual milieu aesthetic views around 1800 and in the several decades that followed. The treatise offers a lot of valuable information for research related to the aesthetic, theoretical and practical aspects of musical art in the second half of the 18th century.

Old Masters in New Colours

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The study of the artworks of the Old Masters has long been the prerogative of art historians alone. Expertise and other art-historical methods can now make much greater use than ever before of the findings of the so-called exact sciences. These make it possible to acquire new knowledge about works of art of the past that is not obvious to our eyes. Imaging and instrumental methods for the study of works of art often allow us to literally “look into the painting”, below the surface of what we see, and observe the work in different areas of the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, for example. By using various research methods – with the necessary caution and awareness of their limitations – it is often possible to gain insight into the hypothetical process of the creation of the work and into the painting’s layers. It is possible to characterize the material nature or technological processes or to study the author’s changes and later interventions in the work. Various research methods allow us to see artworks from different perspectives and to study them figuratively speaking “in new colours”, often the colours in which they appear to our eyes using a variety of imaging methods. How an art historian can work with technological knowledge and to what extent he can rely on it at all is demonstrated and addressed in a total of seven case studies dealing with hanging paintings by Old Masters from the collections of the Archbishopric of Olomouc and the Olomouc Museum of Art.

Milý Franku: I. Dopisy Bohuslava Martinů Franku Rybkovi z let 1941 až 1954 / Dear Frank: I. Bohuslav Martinů's Letters to Frank Rybka from 1941 to 1954

Author(s): Jana Honzíková,Vít Zouhar / Language(s): English,Czech

The correspondence between Bohuslav Martinů and Frank Rybka often surprises with the directness, frankness and lightness of the composer as he asks for advice and help or describes everyday events. Frank Rybka was the composer's childhood friend and from the 1940s onwards was among his closest confidants. As a result, the writing is casual and relaxed. It reminds us of conversations between age-old comrades, where no topics, questions or requests are off the table. It is direct, playful, but also hedonistic. Additionally, however, it contains the composer's final will and testament from the dramatic year of 1948. After their arrival in March 1941, Frank Rybka helped the Martinů family build a new life in the United States. He organised their living quarters, transport, books, new contacts, helped negotiate royalties, find musicians, as well as provide Bohuslav Martinů with alibis for his holiday jaunts. This supportive role is also emphasized in the solitary letter from Martinů's girlfriend Rosalie Barstow. This first volume of correspondence with Frank Rybka highlights the origin and performance of a number of Bohuslav Martinů's compositions. It documents the complicated search for a soloist for his Cello Concerto No. 2, for the title of the composition Thunderbolt P-47, the work on the opera Mirandolina or Martinů's musings about Dostoyevsky's novel The Possessed. An ostensibly breezy exterior disguises the cavalcade of dramatic events that occurred to the composer and his wife Charlotte during the years 1941-1954.
