Author(s): Renske Vos,Wouter Werner / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

A while after the Americans left, when the building had already become the former American Embassy, it was refurbished as an art gallery. The gallery is curated by West under the banner ‘our embassy’ usually preceded by a hashtag. As an art gallery, the building is open to visiting audiences, who are offered exhibitions, tours, special events and a cafe´. The gallery needs to square its own agenda with the identity of the building, which is reflected, for instance, in the new name of the space. The building is reclaimed as ‘ours’ on behalf of the gallery and its audience, but it is still referred to as an ‘embassy’, even when it no longer is, at least not in an official sense. Meanwhile, visitors can explore anywhere in between the building’s past and present identities. The tension between these identities attracts: we are here, because the Americans have left, but also because they were here before us.

Author(s): Kees Went / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

In March 2019 I was invited by pianist and radio host Guy Livingstone to take part in what he referred to as ‘an architecture and law symposium’. I had met Guy not long before that after he contacted me through a mutual friend. He was interested in my views on music in relation to space, which would be the subject of his PhD at Leiden University. The interrelationship between sound, music, space and time had been a subject of my studies as a composer and a sound designer. Besides my work as a composer, I have experience as an Urban Sound Designer, which involves the sound of cities and public space. Guy had taken residence in the former American Embassy in The Hague as part of an interdisciplinary group of (international) lawyers and artists. The combination of art and law was remarkable and interesting. As a subject for the symposium, however, it kept me puzzled and I did not know what to make of it. I had trouble to see a role for myself from my experience and expertise. A further contact put things in a different perspective.

Salvator Mundi, a művészeti világ Megváltója

Author(s): Gizella Horváth / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2020

Art – in a certain sense - was born in the era of Renaissance. At least two explicative paradigms about art have appeared since the Renaissance, and we might be witnessing the appearance of a new one. The story of Salvador Mundi, found in 2005 and attributed to Leonardo, highlights the artworld’s expectations, possibilities, and challenges on the one hand; while on the other hand, it shows how art institutions function. These aspects may be of interest mainly to art historians. However, if a curator decides to exhibit a contemporary copy of Salvator Mundi in a museum, his/her gesture raises art philosophical issues.

PİCASSO’NUN KÜBİK RESİMLERİNDEKİ KADIN İMGELERİ

Author(s): Özlem Kireçoğlu Yavuz,Emre Şen / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 51/2020

Since the history of humanity, the image of women has always been attractive; poetry, as well as painting and sculpture, novels, stories and many other subjects have been the subject. The beauty of the woman, sometimes her ugliness, sometimes her sorrows, sorrows, tears, joys and excitement sometimes inspired a poet or a painter, sculptor, writer, composer. A woman's portrait, her naked body, her nobility, and even her identity have led to wars between very powerful civilizations. In the works of Picasso, one of the most important, different and even the most critically acclaimed artists of the 20th century, the image of woman is frequently encountered. Picasso, who has received many criticisms from some circles, has been approved and regarded as a genius by some circles, especially in his Cubic paintings, depicting women's portraits and women's bodies in different geometric shapes. Picasso stated that he was influenced by many artists and works by saying I get what I need from other artists ve and that he used what they found appropriate in his own works without hesitation. The aim of this study is to examine Picasso's works with a female image in her cubic paintings and to evaluate her perspective towards women. For his reason, this study is a qualitative research method which is a due diligence model and the data is analyzed with document analysis method. The results of the study are important in terms of analyzing the image of women in Picasso’s Works and being a source for other scientific researches.

Muzyka jako teofania? Pytania do George’a Steinera

Author(s): Marcin Trzęsiok / Language(s): Polish Issue: 66/2019

Music occupies a special place in George Steiner’s thinking: “Three areas: the essence and name of God, higher mathematics and music (what is the connection between them?) are located at the limits of language” (Steiner, Errata). The seemingly rhetorical question in parentheses turns out to be a source of deep controversy, the essence of which is revealed in historical-genealogical reflection. Steiner attempts to incorporate Romantic metaphysics within the traditional scholastic symbiosis of Biblical creationism and Pythagoreanism, which reveals his philosophy of music to be entangled in a range of contradictions. On the one hand, a critical reading of Steiner's works uncovers the difficulties posed by the attempt to reconcile pre- and post-Enlightenment culture; on the other hand, the still unused opportunities offered by Romanticism and its modernist continuations are clearly visible. Musical aesthetics, rooted in the idea of infinity, plays a crucial role in these divagations.

HOCA ALİ RIZA DESENLERİNDE ÜSLUP VE KONU ANALİZLERİ

Author(s): Muteber Burunsuz / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 53/2020

Hoca Ali Rıza, who has an important place in the 19th century Turkish Painting Art, follows a realistic path in his works that include scenes from daily life, narrow streets, wooden houses and landscape views. In his more detailed oil paintings, his etudes that he created by observing the nature draw attention. In terms of subject diversity, he includes indoor works as well as outdoor works. For this reason, he pioneered the recognition of the home and cultural language of the 19th century Ottoman society. Üsküdarlı Hoca Ali Rıza, who is a military painter, trained many painters by working as an instructor in addition to his painting works. Hoca Ali Rıza, who fictionalizes his works with a solid pattern language, uses a comfortable and observant language in his sketches and drawings. He produced charcoal and watercolor works based on the observation he created with an effective language that he could capture the movement with a few lines. In the research, it is aimed to examine and evaluate the content of the subject content in the drawing and drawing studies together with the general style of Hoca Ali Rıza.

GERÇEKLİĞİ DOĞA İLE BÜTÜNLEŞTİREN BİR SANATÇI: HAMZA İNANÇ

Author(s): İbrahim Çoban / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 54/2020

Hamza İnanç's art can be evaluated as his paintings which he performed in Turkey in 1947-1965, which he performed in figurative understanding in Paris, which he performed in dramatic abstract understanding and his paintings which he performed after 1973. His painting style in landscape style painting, which is the interpretation of the artist's own imaginations, has not changed. Even in the abstraction period, a hidden odor of nature can be perceived. The effect of the continuous impression can be seen rather than the instantaneous impressions of a certain time period on nature and things in his paintings. The abstraction motive in his works does not greatly change the qualification of the impression. A painting that moves from nature is contented with the least of the formations that can be abstracted from nature within the framework of general approaches. However, such anxiety was enough to distinguish him decisively from the mediocre business of similar trends. Hamza İnanç has benefited neither more nor less from the impressionistic sensibility that persists in today's painting to a certain extent, as only an artist and nature observer can do. The fact that the nature impressions consist of a continuous observation provided an environment description to mix into the paintings at the same level and in the same direction with this impression. It can be said that the artist aimed to bring the hidden beauties in nature to the foreground, instead of the ugliness in nature, the motifs and subjects that give people sadness and pessimism. Hamza İnanç tried to develop the living aspects of impressionism in his landscape paintings some of which he created from Ankara and its surroundings, some of my views of the Black Sea Region, and he researched the possibilities of a contemporary impressionism. He has been become one of our artists who can combine with small halves on an impressionist line, but who do not hesitate to pursue his personal concerns.Haraza İnanç’s provided services to the art of painting and its place in Contemporary Turkish Art were examined in this study within the data obtained after literature scanning and qualitative research methods. It is thought that Hamza İnanç's works as he performed under his artist identity will contribute to the artist in the context of contemporary art in creating an original language of art and in interpreting plastic values together.

FOTOĞRAF SANATINDAKİ KOMPOZİT PORTRELERİN KISA TARİHİ

Author(s): Eren GÖRGÜLÜ / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 57/2021

The composite photography technique, invented by Francis Galton in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, took its legacy from the new photography techniques that began to appear in the years immediately after the invention of photography. New perspectives affecting the photographs of that period and new image production greatly contributed to the development of this technique. The multi-layered structure that Galton used in his technique created a striking structure that lacked clarity and this technique has been used by many artists today. The composite portrait productions realized by the artists with the help of analog / digital techniques both challenge the photographic reality and combine innovation and art like the nature of composite photography. Galton's work on technique constitutes a highly developed field of photography practice through digital photography today. The traces of the multi-layered effect Galton created through photographic portraits are seen in the works like Lewis Hine's child labour, Ludwig Wittgenstein's family portrait, Wanda Wulz's cat portrait, William Wegman's family combinations, and Nancy Burson's composite portrait studies in the 1980s, Thomas Ruff's Andere Portrait, Booby Neel Adams' 'Family Tree' project, Daniel Gordon's collages, Ken Kitano's' Portraits of Our Face', and Idris Khan's' Nicholas Nixon's Brown Sisters', and these photos are important for the study. The spirit circulating in the layers of Galton's portraits has changed both aesthetically and technically through analog / digital techniques, shifting to a more unifying and compiling dimension. This article aims to investigate the effect of Francis Galton's photography technique on portrait work in the historical process.

Dolls and Octopuses. The (In)human Sexuality of Mari Katayama

Author(s): Grzegorz Kubiński / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2019

Japan is very often seen as a country of ambiguities and contradictions. The latest technology meets tradition here. In the popular culture of the West, Japan is also perceived as a disturbingly sensual country. This article is an attempt to combine elements such as Western technology and eastern sexuality based on the work of contemporary artist Mari Katayama. A number of proposals are presented how to interpret Katayama’s work as a reinterpretation of sociosexual and bodily as well as corporeal norms of the past and present, and of the West and of the East.

The Past as a Springboard for Understanding the Present. Classical Motifs in Contemporary Art through Examples from the MENA Region and Asia

Author(s): Zoltán Somhegyi / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

The re-emergence of classical forms, motifs, and media in contemporary art is an exciting field of research. In this paper, through a series of case studies, I focus on carpets, calligraphy, and photography in the oeuvre of artists working in or originating from countries with a predominantly Muslim aesthetic heritage, to see how these novel pieces can contribute to our present understanding of aesthetics and thus a better understanding of our present.

Vatic Environmentalism: Orphic Aesthetics and Ecological Justice

Author(s): Leo Courbot / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

Founded on readings in quantum theory, poststructuralist philosophy, and world literatures, this article argues that an Orphic tradition can be traced over the last two thousand years, translating a history of human response to the environment which has contributed to the poetic formulation of an ecological ethics that we propose to call vatic environmentalism.

Two Problems in Scientific Cognitivism

Author(s): Yan Li / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

I try to interpret the notion of “scientific cognitivism” that can be found in Allen Carlson’s works. I argue first that, contrary to Carlson’s view, scientific knowledge does not play a necessary role in the aesthetic appreciation of nature but may even be detrimental to it. Mark Twain’s aesthetic experience from the perspective of a practical level is exemplary. I argue scientific cognitivism has no plausibility in the appreciation of nature. I then analyze an inappropriate sense of scientific cognitivism in the aesthetic appreciation of nature on a theoretical level, including Kant’s theory and other environmental philosophers such as Hepburn, Zangwill, and Berleant. In conclusion, I claim that scientific cognitivism enables inappropriate aesthetic appreciations of nature.

Sticky Aesthetics, Sticky Affect: Connecting through Queer Art

Author(s): Amy Keating / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This paper explores how the creative nonfiction writer, T Fleischmann, exemplifies a “queer sense of belonging” throughout the author’s description of encountering a work of art and how it transmits this feeling to the reader. This sense of belonging is an affective feeling co-created through the intertwining elements of queer aesthetics and the encountering subject’s contingent affective history.

Search for Stability: Rhythm in the Philosophies of Husserl, Deleuze & Guattari

Author(s): INETA KIVLE / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

During the pandemic situation while the usual order changes and the search for new elements of security become more active, rhythm studies may provide a deeper understanding of human and ongoing processes. The current study views rhythm as a force of stability in the context of Husserl’s and Deleuze & Guattari’s philosophies. It seeks common substantiation for sociality, humanity, art, and nature, showing the organic connection between a person’s internal constitution and outer environment, the rhythmic centre’s manifestations, and surroundings.

Visceral Resistance and The Vulnerability of Breathing

Author(s): Jana Kukaine / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The COVID-19 pandemic invites us to re-examine the relations between aesthetics and social, environmental, and bodily issues. This essay highlights these interconnections by focusing on the vulnerability of breathing from a visceral point of view. Merging theoretical accounts with investigations of selected artworks by Latvian artists Dace Džeriņa and Rasa Jansone, the aesthetic apprehension of breathing allows for the advancement of feminist politics for a liveable and breathable life and bodily flourishing.

Posthumanistyczne echa, apokaliptyczne tony i zwierzęce odgłosy w filmach Bonga Joon-ho

Author(s): Krzysztof Loska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 37/2020

The subject of the analysis in this article are three films by Bong Joon-ho: The Host (2006), Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017), considered from the posthumanist perspective. A starting point is Donna Haraway’s suggestion that science-fiction stories should be treated as a tool for speculative thinking. Then, I point to the way the Korean film director demonstrates his critical reflection on the effects of climate change, deepening economic inequalities, the impact of global capitalism and the biopolitical model of the governance. The main aim is to seek out the possible strategies of resistance which enable humans to change their attitude to other species (Okja) and to ask a question about the scope of human freedom, the effects of our interference in the functioning of the biosphere (Snowpiercer) and the results of genetic modifications of animals.

Zmieścić się w ramach. Trzy próby definiowania romskiej sztuki współczesnej w Polsce

Author(s): Monika Weychert Waluszko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 61/2019

The concept of contemporary Roma art was introduced into the critical apparatus of aesthetics by Timea Junghaus in 2007, when she curated Paradise Lost, the first Roma Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, an unprecedented act and a strong political statement. It is therefore more intriguing than ever to observe attempts to redefine the idea of „contemporary Roma art”. A single exhibition – Kali Berga, one event, the same group of artists and the same set of artworks has inspired two contradictory concepts: Wojciech Szymański anticipated the concept of „post-Roma art”, while Anna Mirga-Kruszelnicka came up with the idea of the „art of the Roma”. As a cultural expert, I analyse the conceptualisation process of the phenomenon of contemporary Roma art.

Profesor Camilleri i pan Caravaggio. Multimodalne studium twórczości i psychozy

Author(s): Ksenia Olkusz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 34/2018

Multimodal techniques (meaning the use of narrative modes signalised by various typographies etc.) enable a fuller presentation of Caravaggio’s mental dysfunction (in the novel the focalizing role is performed by, among others, the notes of the painter who is falling into obsession and madness – it is these that form his internal storyworld). Confrontation with the journalistic account, provided by the alter ego of the very author of the novel (so called sylleptic narrator) – that is the second level of narration – constitutes the modal frame for the presentation of the artist’s fate and contributes to showing the mental state of Caravaggio who is obsessed with “black sun” (this obsession might be the source of the chiaroscuro technique), and who sees in hallucinations his own severed head. This way, Camilleri creatively exploits the motif of decapitation, found in Caravaggio’s paintings, following many research studies showing that the heads found in the paintings could have been the painter’s self-portraits and expressions of his expiation. This context is supplemented by reproductions of Caravaggio’s paintings, which are embedded in the narration and “commented upon” in his fictional journal, thus constituting yet another layer registering (and illustrating) what takes place in the artist’s mind.
