Modern Art Effects Contemponary

Of course one could say: why bother? We live in a pluralistic culture where every form of art. Old and new. Also,  high and low and every shade of grey can exist in freedom and can compete for attention in public space. But this is not so. Also,  our culture is not pluralistic at all. The money destined to support contemporary artistic enterprise in public space. IIe. new art and new music. Is carefully channelled towards art forms which follow a definite collection of narrow ideas and Assumptions,.developed in the postwar period, with the exclusion of alternatives. It is schocking to discover that. Many serious artists are working independently of what ‘the establishment’.

New art.

Expects from ‘new art’. Still cultivating high artistic standards, and many of them of great talent. But they cannot be seen in the museums of modern art or heard at the festivals of new music. Both the kind of places entirely dedicated to modernism, postmodernism. Finally,concept art, etc. etc. Mostly all possible forms of nonsense and puerile attempts.

Audience

This means that these artists cannot. Or hardly, reach audiences who could be pleasantly surprised about such a variety of high quality works. There are many people around in these institutions. Whose ignorance and irresponsibility make sure that serious new art and new music. Cannot be found there. New art and new music have become a separate category. Next to the museum culture of the old collections. Of paintings and sculpture and old music in the concert halls and opera houses. Run by an entirely different kind of people who. Understandably, don’t care much about the ‘new’ forms which merely demonstrate a sorry decline. And most of the time present new works merely out of a sense of polite obligation. New visual art and new music. As found in the established forms of presentation. hHve killed themselves off completely in the chase after entirely nonsensical goals.

APPROACHES TO VIDEO ART

“The history of video is a complex story because it was born in the middle of the crisis of modernism, it inherits formalist considerations but it is, at the same time, confronted with its hybrids (cinema, photography), its lures (television) and its future (digital). It is therefore a story which has nothing autonomous, but which nevertheless constitutes, if not a specific territory, an area exchange, circulation, transformation of images as well as genres, conceptual domains, relationships. »

Françoise Perfect, “Introduction”, in Video: an art
contemporary, Paris, Éditions du Regard, 2001, unpaginated.

Appearance of video art.

“The appearance of video art in the United States and Europe is linked to the development of Fluxus in the early 1960s. It demonstrates a desire to challenge the television image fixed in a narrative schema derived from language and participates in the upheaval of traditional art practices and techniques initiated by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, etc. In 1963, Nam June Paik and Wolf Vostell make the first tests of image distortions. […]

We often distinguish three categories of work in video art:

Video recording of a performance, a concert, a happening: witness video, living memory which can also be integrated into the action. These images broadcast in real time on which we can immediately intervene have attracted many so-called behavioral artists and played a determining role in the development of Body Art.

Experimental video (sometimes called formal video) first uses electronic image processing which allows countless manipulations (artificial coloring, deformations, special effects, feedback), then more recently images produced entirely by computer: images in 2D, whose basic tool is the graphic palette, 3D images, images without a camera: these synthetic images suggest a revolution in communication and
creation.

Video installations: video sculptures, video environments, often use several monitors sometimes associated with objects of a completely different order. These so-called closed-circuit installations (where the viewer is himself integrated) or, on the contrary, multi-channel with frontal or dispersed vision, depend as much on the equipment used as on the intentions of the artist. But they always involve reflection on time, space and even the movement specific to video. »

Mathilde Ferrer, Marie-Hélène Colas-Adler and Jeanne Lambert-Cabrejo (dirs.), Groups, movements, trends in contemporary art since 1945, Paris, ENSBA, 2001, p. 57-58.

Basic material of the image.

“In the same way that the eyes scan the visual field to topographically understand the measurements and shapes and construct a representation, the electronic cannon releases points of light on the receiving surface (the monitor panel), by scanning at a speed calculated in nanoseconds, in order to constitute an image acceptable to the eye. The point in video is therefore a temporal fraction of the scan; the fundamental material of the video image is the point-duration and no longer the point-space of photography and cinema. Optical scanning and electronic scanning present therefore similarities in their way of breaking down space into duration, and of developing a representation based on a true analysis. The electronic light-space-time points are scanned in rows or lines juxtaposed horizontally by hundreds (this varies depending on the system, around 600, 625 for Secam standards and Pal to form the video surface). […]

Snow screen.

The videographic image pre-exists any mimetic representation that it could represent: it is the snow screen which appears as soon as the screen lights up, as soon as the device (television or camera) is plugged in, when the programs are completed but the machine remains activated. This electronic snow, a veritable vibratile matrix, potentially full of all the images of the world, represents a primitive state of the image, a state of it before its realization as than appearance: snow as becoming-image, element, food from which the flesh of the image will be made. Image element, the pixel is perceived in its mathematical precision when the gaze approaches the screen a little too closely; while in a more enveloping vision, it participates in a starry surface of white points in active darkness. […] Peter Campus (1947, USA) experiments the images of snow in the single-track Set of Coincidence (1974), playing “tone on tone” of the silhouettes of his body cut out in the vibrant substance whose texture is different from that of the background: snow on snow, the figure camouflages itself thus, by mimetic effect, on a “background” which turns out to be made of the same dough as it. Both containing and contained, without thickness, this frame being sparkles in an identical environment, advancing in the form of a dematerialized, “ghostly” and evanescent body. Multiplied image of a weightless body evolving in a false depth, highlighting of the scintillating material, fascination with the volubility of the video signal…: so many mirages which will attract the explorers of the first decade but also the more informed travelers of the following.”

Françoise Perfect, Video, contemporary art, Paris, Editions
du Regard, 2001, p. 96-97

White Cube Hong Kong – Until 8 May 2021
Conversations: Joan Simon and Andrea Lissoni on Bruce Nauman

 

White Cube was pleased to present an exhibition of video works by Bruce Nauman. Widely regarded as one of the most influential contemporary artists in the world, this is the first exhibition of his work in Hong Kong.

“Présence / Absence” presents two single-channel works, from 1999 and 2001. As well as three projections on two screens produced in 2013, which highlight the artist’s experimental approach. Both in front of and behind the camera. Shot on his ranch in New Mexico, in his studio or in the surrounding landscape. They are explorations of spirit and matter. Using elements of performance, work. Language. Illusion and duration. The works explore the cognitive and social spheres.

Choosing the right questions.

Nauman said that “[…] what makes the job interesting is choosing the right questions. Then as you go along. The answers are what’s interesting. With an economy of means. Then, the duration of the work often determined by the duration of the medium or of a given task. They are modeled on the artist’s avowed desire: “ to find the most efficient way to get what I want”.

MONOCULTURE – A recent history

M HKA, MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART ANTWERP – Until April 24, 2021 Antwerp (Belgium)

 

The MONOCULTURE – A Recent History exhibition assumes that any understanding of the concept of “multiculture” would require research into that of “monoculture”. Social understanding of “monoculture” can be defined as the homogeneous expression of the culture of a specific social or ethnic group. The project aims to approach the notion of monoculture with an open mind. It will therefore aim to conduct an analysis rather than develop an antithesis to monoculture. Not only from historical, social perspectives. Cultural and ideological. But also philosophical. Linguistic and agricultural. MONOCULTURE will provide an experimental mapping. Allowing a comparative analysis of the different manifestations of monoculture. As well as their reflection on art and propaganda. With a view to drawing conclusions which may be relevant for society and culture in general.

Participating artists:

Hannah Höch. Lovis Corinth. Karl Hofer. George Grosz. Carol Rama. Werner Peiner. Joseph Beuys. Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Åsa Sonjasdotter. Andy Warhol. Nicole. Hüseyin Bahri Alptekin. Haseeb Ahmed. Sven Augustijnen. Candida Höfer. Papa Ibra Tall. Maryam Najd. David Blandy. Oxana Shachko. Matti Braun. Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys. Luc Deleu. Jimmie Durham. Catherine Opie. Charlotte Posenenske. Public Movement. Philip Guston. Mladen Stilinović. N. S. Harsha. Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. Rasheed Araeen. Ibrahim Mahama. Kerry James Marshall. Vincent Meessen. Renzo Martens / CATPC. Danny Matthys.

JEAN-MARIE SCHAEFFER

Beyond Speculation: Art and Aesthetics without Myths

 

In his well-known work of art criticism. Art of the Modern Age. Jean-Marie Schaeffer offered a lucid and powerful critique. Of what he identified as the historically dominant thinking about art. And aesthetics from the Jena Romantics, to Nietzsche. Heidegger. Adorno and beyond. Also, which he termed “the speculative theory of art”.

Beyond Speculation.

Here, in Beyond Speculation, Schaeffer builds from this significant work. Rejecting not only the identification of the aesthetic with the work of art. But also the Kantian association of the aesthetic with subjectively universal judgment. In his analysis of aesthetic relations. He opens up a space. For a theory of art that is free of historicism. Capable of engaging with noncanonical and non-Western arts.

By engaging with the ideas of Arthur Danto. Gérard Genette. Nelson Goodman. George Dickie and Rainer Rochlitz. Hence, and evoking a range of aesthetic experience. From Proust to King Kong to Japanese temple design. Beyond Speculation makes an original and engaging contribution to the development. Of the philosophy of culture.

Georges Didi-Huberman (French Edition)

Devant l’image.

Questions posées aux fins d’une histoire de l’art.

 

Ce livre développe une critique posée et reposée à nos certitudes devant l’image. Comment regardons-nous ? Pas seulement avec les yeux. Pas seulement avec notre regard. Voir rime avec savoir. Ce qui nous suggère que l’œil sauvage n’existe pas. Nous embrassons aussi les images avec des mots. Avec des procédures de connaissance. Avec des catégories de pensée.

D’où viennent-elles, ces catégories ? C’est la question posée ici. La discipline de l’histoire de l’art. Le développement actuel. La finesse de ses outils. Son impressionnante capacité d’érudition. Sa prétention scientifique. Son rôle dans le marché de l’art – semble autoriser le ton de certitude si souvent adopté par les professionnels de l’art. Les savants de l’image. Or, qu’est-ce qu’un savoir lorsque le savoir porte sur ce Protée que l’on nomme une image ? La question exige de mettre à jour la “ philosophie spontanée ”. Les modèles discursifs mis en jeu lorsque nous cherchons. Devant un tableau ou une sculpture, à en tirer, voire à en soutirer une connaissance.

XX siècle

Entre voir et savoir se glissent souvent des mots magiques. Les philtres d’une connaissance illusoire. Ils résolvent les problèmes. Donnent l’impression de comprendre. Ces mots magiques, Vasari, le premier historien de l’art. Au XVIe siècle, en a inventé de fameux, qui traînent encore dans notre vocabulaire. Panofsky, le “ réformateur ” de l’histoire de l’art. Au XXe siècle, les a critiqués dans un sens à l’aide d’un outil philosophique considérable. La critique kantienne de la connaissance. Il les a restaurés dans un autre sens. Au nom de l’humanisme et d’un concept encore classique de la représentation.

Freud.

C’est du côté de Freud que l’on a cherché ici. Les moyens d’une critique renouvelée de la connaissance propre aux images. L’acte de voir s’y est littéralement ouvert. C’est-à-dire déchiré puis déployé. Entre représentation et présentation. Entre symbole et symptôme. Et, pour finir, entre la notion habituelle du visible et une notion renouvelée du visuel. L’équation tranquille. Métaphysique ou positiviste. Du voir et du savoir laisse place dès lors à quelque chose comme un principe d’incertitude. Quelque chose comme une contrainte du regard au non-savoir. Quelque chose qui nous met devant l’image comme face à ce qui se dérobe. Position instable s’il en est. Mais position qu’il fallait penser comme telle pour la situer malgré tout dans un projet de connaissance. Un projet d’histoire de l’art.
