teoria/historia sztuki

In his legendary Pedagogical Sketchbook, Paul Klee takes a theoretical approach to drawing using geometric shapes and lines. Evincing a desire to reunite artistic design and craft, and written in a tone that oscillates between the seeming objectivity of the diagram, the rhetoric of science and mathematics, and an abstract, quasi-mystical intuition, Klee’s text expresses key aspects of the Bauhaus’ pedagogy and guiding philosophies.

Żyjemy w czasie, który nie jest wspólny dla wszystkich. Mówiąc obrazowo, jest taka odmiana czasu, linearny czas, który rwie gdzieś w nieznane – jak potok aut za oknem od strony ulicy. I jest czas za oknem na ogród, côté jardin, jak piszą Francuzi. To czas wiecznych powrotów, w którym wiemy, że gdy przekwitnie bez, zakwitają cynie, potem przychodzi żar lata, blask astrów i chryzantem, pora opadających liści i znów czekanie, aż zakwitną bzy. Czas cykliczny, obroty lat, sezonów, dni, wyznaczają rytm życia rolników i pszczelarzy, nauczycieli i kapłanów, sprzedawców lodów i handlujących parasolami. Czas linearny to czas odkrywców, zdobywców, kolejarzy i polityków, dziennikarzy – pędzi naprzód w stronę nieznanego. W tym czasie jest i przerażenie przyszłością, ryzyko, jest i nadzieja poprawy, nawet szczęścia. A czas cykliczny pocieszyć potrafi spokojem.

This book is a short visual journey through eighty years of protest art.

 A Chronology of Art brings the developments of the art world into sharp focus by examining the most important works in context with contemporary political, economic, literary, scientific and social events. This novel treatment, structured around a central timeline that becomes more detailed as it nears the present, explains the outside influences on artists at the time of the creation of the works. In this way, the book offers a deeper understanding of the story of art, from the earliest cave paintings to recent mural installations by the enigmatic Banksy. The chronological spreads are interwoven with lively special features, highlighting the social, stylistic and technical developments of each period.

Do artists travel away from or towards trauma? Is trauma encrypted or inscribed in art? Or can aesthetic practices (after-images) bring about transformation of trauma, personal trauma or historical traumas? Can they do this in a way that does not imply cure or resolution of the traces (after-affects) of trauma? How do artists themselves process these traces as participants in and sensors for our life-worlds and histories, and how does the viewer, coming belatedly or from elsewhere, encounter works bearing such traces or seeking forms through which to touch and transform them? These are some of the questions posed by major feminist art historian and cultural analyst, Griselda Pollock, in her latest installation of the virtual feminist museum. In closely-read case studies, we encounter artworks by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Ana Mendieta, Louise Bourgeois, Alina Szapocznikow, Anna Maria Maiolino, Vera Frenkel, Sarah Kofman and Chantal Akerman to explore trauma and bereavement, fatal illness, first- and second-generation Holocaust experience, migration, exile and the encounter with political horror and atrocity. Offering a specifically-feminist contribution to trauma studies, and a feminist psychoanalytical contribution to the study of contemporary art, this volume continues the conceptual innovations that have been the hall-mark of Pollock's dedicated exploration of feminist interventions in art's histories.
