INSTALLATION ART

INSTALLATION ART BETWEEN IMAGE & STAGEAnne Ring Petersen

Despite its large and growing popularity — to say nothing of its near-ubiquity in the world’s artscenes and international exhibitions of contemporary art — installation art remains a formwhose artistic vocabulary and conceptual basis have rarely been subjected to thorough criticalexamination.

In Installation Art: Between Image and Stage, Anne Ring Petersen aims to change that. She beginsby exploring how installation art developed into an interdisciplinary genre in the 1960s, and howits intertwining of the visual and the performative has acted as a catalyst for the generation ofnew artistic phenomena. She investigates how it became one of today's most widely used artforms, increasingly expanding into consumer, popular and urban cultures, where installation'soften spectacular appearance ensures that it meets contemporary demands for sense-provokingand immersive cultural experiences.

The main trajectory of the book is directed by a movement aimed at addressing a series of basicquestions that get at the heart of what installation art is and how it is defined: How doesinstallation structure time, space and representation? How does it address and engage itsviewers? And how does it draw in the surrounding world to become part of the work? Featuringthe work of such well-known artists as Bruce Nauman, Pipilotti Rist, Ilya Kabakov and manyothers, this book breaks crucial new ground in understanding the conceptual underpinnings ofthis multifacious art form.

AUTHOR INFORMATION: Anne Ring Petersen is PhD and dr.phil. in Art History and works

as associate professor of Modern Cultures in the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at theUniversity of Copenhagen. She is the author of several works on art’s place in and interactionwith the environments in which it is located.

PERFORMANCE ART

ART AND CONSCIENTIZATIONForum Theatre in Uganda, Rwanda, DR Congo, and South SudanClaus Schrowange Series edited by Harald Hahn

How can the performing arts add value to peacebuilding programs? Is it possible to useparticipatory theatre to reconnect and reconcile enemies? What is the trauma-healing effect forthose acting in a theatre troupe?

Claus Schrowange has explored these questions and the opportunities of using forum theatre inpeace work in Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda, and DR Congo. His conclusion is that forum theatreis more than mere entertainment. It is an aesthetic tool for social change.

But the value of theatre is not generated automatically, the way it is done matters. If it is donein a participatory manner with an authentic, believable acting style, involving both the audienceand stage actor in a vivid and touching experience, the impact is immediately felt.

This book presents the approach Schrowange developed together with a team of African theatrepractitioners in a variety of circumstances and environments. It is illustrated with case studiestaken from the author s direct experience of using the approach he describes in Eastern DR Congoand Rwanda.

REVIEWS: "Long-term peace work is based on the assumption that "peace grows from within".

This means consequently that the main task of a peace worker is to reinforce local capacities forpeace in order to obtain sustainable civil solutions. The rich experience with forum theatre indifferent African countries (DR Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, and South Sudan) that ClausSchrowange has made and been able to summarize in this book is a remarkable contribution inthis regard."Christiane Kayser, Coordinator, Civil Peace Service Network, Bread for the World

DANCING THE FEMININEGender & Identity Performances by Indonesian Migrant WomenMonika Swasti Winarnita

Migration makes a profound impression on identity (gender and sexuality, culture, class, status),its expressions, and performance. Research in this field has demonstrated that migrantcommunities often cast women as bearers of cultural reproduction. This is especially the casewhen women choose to become representatives of their community through cultural danceperformances. Such performances are also a means to express the migrant life of movement anda way to maintain their sense of well-being. Dancing the Feminine is a compelling vision ofexpressions of gender and identity at the heart of the Asian women’s experience. For theIndonesian female migrants, performing ‘femininity’ is frequently negotiated in a cross-culturalcontext. The performances that author Monika Winarnita analyses are dramas of humaninteraction brought up through fissures and resolutions between the performers and theirvarious audiences. The book provides analysis of these cultural performances as rituals ofbelonging, which demonstrate that in the diaspora meanings of the ritual are always open tobeing contested.

A particular appeal of this book is the way in which cultural dance performance offers profoundinsight into migrants’ life experience as well as into how human beings tell their stories andinteract with one another. Based on her experience of performing dance with Indonesian migrantwomen in Australia, the author provides a unique and novel set of research data that contributesto a diverse body of scholarly work in migration, performance, gender, sexuality and culturalstudies, anthropology, and Asian studies.

AUTHOR INFORMATION: Monika Swasti Winarnita is a Research Associate of

Anthropology at La Trobe University Australia and a Postdoctoral Fellow of Anthropology at theUniversity of Victoria, Canada. Her published work covers Indonesian, Malay and Australianstudies, migration, transnational families, diaspora politics, identity, gender and culturalperformance.

THEORY OF ART

ARTISTIC RESEARCHStrategies for EmbodimentEdited by Christine Fentz, Tom McGuirk

Artistic research is still a relatively new field and therefor the publication of this anthologyconstitues a significant moment. This volume presents an abundance of approaches to artisticresearch and demonstrates the breadth and variety of such research. It does so from theviewpoint of several disciplines, encompassing the performing arts, dance, voice work, fine art,drawing, film, video, architecture and philosophy.

The book in your hands presents some of the work that emerged from Study Circle 7: ArtisticResearch - Strategies for Embodiment (2010-2012), under the auspices of the Nordic SummerUniversity (NSU). This volume presents a natural progression from the first Study Circle 7 (2007-2009) and the resultant anthology: At the Intersection Between Art and Research: Practice BasedResearch in the Performing Arts (2010).

It is often asserted that the body shapes all aspects of cognition. The arts, more than any otherfield of human knowledge, question and challenge the idea of a separation of body and mind.Embodiment is the thread that runs through the contributions to this anthology. To researchone's own artistic process while in the midst of it - as many contributors have done here -demands cognizance of the body; one's own and that of others.

THE BODY, SUBJECT & SUBJECTEDThe Representation of the Body Itself, Illness, Injury, Treatment & Death inSpain & Indigenous & Hispanic American Art & LiteratureEdited by Debra D. Andrist

Hominids have always been obsessed with representing their own bodies. The first “selfies” wereprehistoric negative hand images and human stick figures, followed by stone and ceramicrepresentations of the human figure. Thousands of years later, moving via historic art andliterature to contemporary social media, the contemporary term “selfie” was self-generated.

The Body, Subject & Subjected illuminates some “selfies.” This collection of critical essays aboutthe fixation on the human self addresses a multi-faceted geographic set of cultures – the IberianPeninsula to pre-Columbian America and Hispanic America – analyzing such representationsfrom medical, literal and metaphorical perspectives over centuries. Chapter contributionsaddress the representation of the body itself as subject, in both visual and textual manners, andilluminate attempts at control of the environment, of perception, of behavior and of actions, byartists and authors. Other chapters address the body as subjected to circumstance, representingthe body as affected by factors such as illness, injury, treatment and death. These myriad effectson the body are interpreted through the brushes of painters and the pens of authors for socialand/or personal control purposes. The essays reveal critics’ insights when “selfies” are examinedthrough a focused “lens” over a breadth of cultures. The result, complex and unique, is that whatis viewed – the visual art and literature under discussion – becomes a mirror image,indistinguishable from the component viewing apparatus, the “lens”.

INTER-ART JOURNEYExploring the Common Grounds of the Arts Studies in Honor of Eli RozikNurit Yaari

In recent years, inter-medial studies have attracted increasing attention in arts theory. Thenotion of 'inter-mediality' presupposes that each established art – such as theatre, painting, andcinema – indicates the existence of a particular medium, which preserves its distinct features intranslations from art to art and, especially, in its combinations with others in single works.Nonetheless, this field of research is presupposed already in the traditional studies of ‘ekphrasis’,which focus on the verbal accounts of nonverbal works of art; and in Wagner’s notion ofGesamtkuntswerk.

This renewed interest generated new fields of research, such as (a) the likelihood of the artsreflecting common grounds; (b) the necessity of a shared metalanguage; (b) the possibility ofinter-medial translation; and (d) the inter-medial coexistence within a single work of art, withouthindering the reading, interpreting and experiencing abilities of receivers.

In honor of Eli Rozik, Ph.D., professor emeritus, former head of the Department of TheatreStudies, and Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Tel Aviv University, this collection provides overviews ofall these theoretical issues, and tackles the contemporary practical questions that arise fromattempts to transgress the boundaries between the established disciplines of arts studies.Considering first the theoretical aspects of inter-art, inter-mediality, and nonverbal literacy,Exploring the Common Grounds of the Arts goes on to discuss, by means of performance analysis,dialogues between the arts within a single work, and correspondences between visual andauditory stimuli in musical contexts. It concludes with a discussion of practical examples of inter-mediality in religious representations, official processions, and public performances.

ARTS ATTENDANCE IN THE NATIONBarriers, Motivations & Survey of Arts ParticipationEdited by Nicole L. Santiago

The Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) is the nation’s largest and most reliablesurvey of how American adults (aged 18 and older) engage with the arts. The study of artsparticipation patterns is cogent to arts organisations, arts funders, and cultural economists --who have used prior surveys to inform their understanding about arts audiences or to gaugepublic demand for specific arts experiences. At a more fundamental level, the SPAA showcasesthe stunning plurality of art forms, genres, venues, and events and activities that constitute artsparticipation as a whole. This book discusses the barriers, and motivations of individualsattending arts in the nation.

HISTORY OF ART

FEDERICO BAROCCI & THE ORATORIANSCorporate Patronage & Style in the Counter-ReformationIan Verstegen

In 1586, Federico Barocci delivered his Visitation of the Virgin and St Elizabeth to the ChiesaNuova in Rome. For the next quarter century, Barocci dominated the art scene in Rome; therewas no other artist from whom it was harder to get work and no other artist charged such highprices. Having two important altarpieces in the Chiesa Nuova and two additional commissionsdiscussed was an impressive feat for an artist living exclusively in Urbino. Why did the Oratoriansmonopolize Barocci’s talents in Rome and why does it seem that Barocci was their first choicewhen considering artists to decorate their church? What was it about Barocci’s art that appealedto Oratorian sensibilities and their vision of the artistic program for decoration of their church?

AUTHOR INFORMATION: Ian Verstegen studied art with Rudolf Arnheim at the University

of Michigan, which led to studies in experimental psychology at Rutgers University. He receivedhis PhD with Marcia Hall at Temple University. He is currently the Associate Director of VisualStudies at the University of Pennsylvania.

THE SPOLIA CHURCHES OF ROMERecycling Antiquity in the Middle AgesMaria Fabricius Hansen

Alsopresented here is a selection of eleven particularly beautiful churches featuring a wide variety ofspolia. This book also contains maps and other practical information which make it the idealcompanion when seeking out the past in modern-day Rome.5
