An informative, inspiring, richly illustrated book on contemporary moving-image art. This book sets out to use the latest technologies to short-circuit the universally understandable language of the mass media and to make art once again a critical mirror of its time. Around sixty artists from more than twenty countries are presented in eight chapters, that address social, political, and scientific themes (racism, climate change, capitalism, eccentricity, sex, zeitgeist, and fashionable and frightening technologies) in a way that is playful and innovative. HEINZ PETER SCHWERFEL (*1954) lives in Paris. He works as a journalist, filmmaker and curator, and is the author of books on artists (Georg Baselitz, Jannis Kounellis) and non-fiction books such as Kunst-Skandale and Kino und Kunst. As a filmmaker, he produced films about Christian Boltanski, Rebecca Horn, Anish Kapoor, Christoph Marthaler, Annette Messager, Bruce Nauman, Cees Nooteboom, and many others, as well as TV series for the art channel ARTE ( Design, Live Art). In addition, he curated exhibitions of work by Shirin Neshat, Julian Rosefeldt, and Loukia Alavanou (Greek pavilion, 2022 Venice Biennale).
This book brings together a leading team of international experts in arts and global development to showcase effective practice and to explore how this vibrant interdisciplinary field has developed and what the latest research can teach us. Although arts play a central role in human development, and in the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities, few have attempted to comprehensively explore arts practice as global development. This Handbook first provides a theoretical framework for exploring arts and global development, before surveying a comprehensive range of art forms and development practices to explore the potential of the arts to strategically and beneficially contribute ...
This book provides a thorough interdisciplinary analysis of the ways in which artists have engaged with political and feminist grassroots movements to characterise a new direction in the production of feminist art. The authors conceptualise feminist art in Turkey through the lens of feminist philosophy by offering a historical analysis of how feminism and art interacts, analysing emerging feminist artwork and exploring the ways in which feminist art as a form opens alternative political spaces of social collectivities and dissent, to address epistemic injustices. The book also explores how the global art and feminist movements (particularly in Europe) have manifested themselves in the art scenery of Turkey and argues that feminist art has transformed into a form of political and protest art which challenges the hegemonic masculinity dominating the aesthetic debates and political sphere. It is an invaluable reading for students and scholars of sociology of art, gender studies and political sociology.
Arter initiated a new publication series, ARTER BACKGROUND, in 2019 to accompany exhibitions drawn from its collection, which holds around 1,400 works of art. This third book in the series accompanies the collection-based group exhibition On Celestial Bodies, opened at Arter in September 2020. In the book, excerpts of texts selected around the ideas active in the curatorial process put in practice by Kevser Güler are complemented by new essays written specifically for this context. While the exhibition deals with the ways that beings come together and disperse, the manners through which they build relations, and their ways of distancing and converging with each other, the accompanying publi...
Original essays offering fresh ideas and global perspectives on contemporary feminist art The term ‘feminist art’ is often misused when viewed as a codification within the discipline of Art History—a codification that includes restrictive definitions of geography, chronology, style, materials, influence, and other definitions inherent to Art Historical and museological classifications. Employing a different approach, A Companion to Feminist Art defines ‘art’ as a dynamic set of material and theoretical practices in the realm of culture, and ‘feminism’ as an equally dynamic set of activist and theoretical practices in the realm of politics. Feminist art, therefore, is not a simp...

İnci San’ın üzerinde sürekli durduğu ve vurguladığı “tümel ya da bütünsel sanatlar eğitimi ve sanatlar eğitim bilimi” anlayışının giderek sanat eğiticilerinin üzerinde uzlaştığı ve kabul ettikleri bir yaklaşım olduğu görülmektedir. Sanatlar geçişli sanat eğitimi zaman içinde disiplinler arası etkilere de açılarak bilimselliğe yaklaşmaya başlamış, böylece sanat bilimi alanı tümüyle bir disiplinler arası boyut kazanarak zenginleşmiştir. “Günümüz sanatlarında özellikle görsel sanatlar alanında teknoloji ve dolayısıyla bilime dayanmadan yeni, özgün ve çağcıl bir sanatsal üretim ortaya çıkarmak pek olası görünmemektedir. S...
Looking at the globalization, urban regeneration, arts events and cultural spectacles, this book considers a city not until now included in the global city debate. Divided into five parts, each preceded by an editorial introduction, this book is an interdisciplinary study of an iconic city, a city facing conflicting social, political and cultural pressures in its search for a place in Europe and on the world stage in the twenty-first century.
