Ontopo: Ontopo is a speculative art platform for amateur artists.

I praised the boost it gave to moving image art with the remarkable show The Infinite Mix in 2016. But since office leasing and health spas are more lucrative than art exhibitions, the venue has come down in the world.

Michelle Williams Gamaker has channelled her anger at the iniquity of this commercially motivated movie industry racism as part of a wider analysis of the power dynamics of visual representation. A remarkable sequence of a locust swarm devouring a wheat field in The Good Earth has been a reimagined in her recent film The Bang Straws which explores the scandal of Anna May Wong being rejected as the lead and instead being offered the role of the prostitute in the film. A CGI generated locust swarm takes on the role of the malevolent forces attacking Wong, played by the Chinese actor Dahong Wang, who dons a transparent perspex mask to protect her. I was struck by the contrast that, unlike Rainer’s, her mask allows her facial features to be seen by the audience. In a quasi-documentary sequence featuring glorious 16mm black and white macro footage of a single locust, Williams Gamaker suggests a parallel between the exoticisation, demonisation and fetishisation of the insect body by naturalists and the non-Western body by white culture. All Rights Reserved, DACS 2022The bulldozing of 350 suburban homes to make way for a motorway could not be halted by the standard protest tactics. Through a process of sympathetic magic we represent our worst fears by proxy and this might somehow provide a form of symbolic protection.

It’s said that the publishing market is taking a turn for the worse, but we’re not responding to it in a proactive way. We’ve also been ineffective at looking back on our position in the present, while worrying about the unpredictable conditions of the publishing industry in the future. For each annual, around 50 contributors each select their “favorite” release of the year. The writers range from type designers to typographers , design critics to educators. Each contributor has their own criteria for their selection, but usually it comes down to a typeface that excites them enough to write something about it.

This difference in ends, with similar means, plays out in the other examples. For instance, Perl poetry (i.e., poetry created using the programming language, Perl) may be an aesthetic product to the writer – a valid end in itself. To the computer scientist, this product represents a medium in which to express a different end – the formal language “message.” Therefore, aesthetic computing by its arrangement of words comprising this phrase is focused on computing – the learning of formal languages. However, aesthetic products play a key role in this learning activity and allow for the artist, scholar, and computer scientist to collaborate with different intentions and goals. This seminar will interrogate the problematic construct of connoisseurship in the market , in the museum (Pope-Hennessy), and in the academy .

He may require for his purpose the most complete representation of a figure, he may be intensely realistic, provided that his presentment, in spite of its closeness to natural appearance, disengages clearly for us the appropriate emotional elements. Or he may give us the merest suggestion of natural forms, and rely almost entirely upon the force and intensity of the emotional elements involved in his presentment. It might even be that from this point of view we should rather justify actual life by its relation to the imaginative, justify nature by its likeness to art. Can we arrive at any conclusions as to the nature of the graphic arts, which will at all explain our feelings about them, which will at least put them into some kind of relation with the other arts, and not leave us in the extreme perplexity, engendered by any theory of mere imitation? For, I suppose, it must be admitted that if imitation is the sole purpose of the graphic arts, it is surprising that the works of such arts are ever looked upon as more than curiosities, or ingenious toys, are ever taken seriously by grown-up people. Moreover, it will be surprising that they have no recognisable affinity with other arts, such as music or architecture, in which the imitation of actual objects is a negligible quantity. This will be, perhaps, most evident in Plate I, where I have placed a figure from the cloisters of S.

Additionally, rather than distributing widely through traditional channels, we devise more intimate forms of distribution specific to each publication, helping us to work within our means. In regard to admin, we have an email auto-responder that helps to set expectations, since neither PSSF nor P.E. If your idea is good enough or interesting enough, it matters a little less how scalable or commercially viable it is. To some extent, artist-run publishers are providing a platform for other artists to communicate directly with an audience, free from institutional approval or validation. I would say one of the toughest challenges is finding ways to produce books locally. We recently purchased a digital press which was a huge relief, but at the same time it was a huge cost we couldn’t anticipate. Up until before the pandemic hit, I was printing a lot of our books at SFAI, so when all the schools shut down, I had to come up with another way to keep working.

Conjunction of forms and colours begins to crystallise into a harmony; and as this harmony becomes clear to the artist, his actual vision becomes distorted by the emphasis of the rhythm which has been set up within him. Certain relations of directions of line become for him full of meaning; he apprehends them no longer casually or merely curiously, but passionately, and these lines begin to be so stressed and stand out so clearly from the rest that he sees them far more distinctly than he did at first. Similarly colours, which in nature have almost always a certain vagueness and elusiveness, become so definite and clear to him, owing to their now necessary relation to other colours, that if he chooses to paint his vision he can state them positively and definitely.

• By bringing the creators of art in a unique setting the Program aims to situate art at the very heart of historical Belgrade.ABOUT PETIT Studio PETIT Studio is a BUDGET STUDIO, perfect for WRITERS, CURATORS, THINKER, ARTISTS/DESIGNERS who do small dimensions and do not require a spacious studio.
• My body of work includes weaving, photography, jewelry, painting and drawing.
• The Clark Art Library contains a preeminent collection of textile material, and this seminar will dive into the Mary Ann Beinecke collection to examine histories of gender and labor, figuration and ornament, mobility and place, and finally, form and matter.
• Such a lacunae begs many questions about the circles of sociability in which he traveled, the reception of Caribbean artists in France in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and the lack of widespread knowledge on these topics today.
• The assumption that man is a mainly rational animal has given place to the discovery that he is, like other animals, mainly instinctive.

Now, this plastic drawing can never be attained by a meredescription of the edges of objects. Such a description, however exact, can at the utmost do no more than recall vividly the original object; it cannot enable the spectator to realise its plastic volume more clearly than the original object would. Now, when we look at a really good drawing we do get a much more vivid sense of a plastic volume than we get from actual objects. This would look as though religion had inspired the artists with a passion for certain themes, and the need to express these had created Baroque art. About the same time we find Dürer studying both Pollajuolo and Lorenzo di Credi. The copy of Pollajuolo is not a good example of Dürer’s art; it certainly misses the tension and inner life of Pollajuolo’s nudes. The Lorenzo di Credi, as might be expected, is in many ways more than adequate to the original, though as compared even with Credi, Dürer has not a clear sense of the correlation of linear elements in the design.

To my studio account, I publish my work, events, and portfolio as a designer. I thought it would be confusing to post all different content on one account. I separate my practices into different accounts for the matter of functionality, but this does not necessarily mean that my roles as a publisher and as a designer are separate, nor that they should be. But the design methods and decisions that go into making books are just as effective in communicating an idea. I hope that the various forms of the book — whether size, paper texture, thickness, binding method, number of pages, typography, page layout, etcetera — can suggest or link to the subject or context of the content. If someone finds a PRESS ROOM’s publication attractive, I think it’s because they are just as interested in design as I am. We acknowledge that a project like this needs time to grow, and that we need to be constantly open to change and experiment.

Savages have possessed this power not only in a higher degree than we at this moment, but than we as a nation have ever possessed it. I have to admit that some of these things are great sculpture—greater, I think, than anything we produced even in the Middle Ages. Certainly they have the special qualities of sculpture in a higher degree. They have indeed complete plastic freedom; that is to say, these African artists really conceive form in three dimensions. All archaic European sculpture—Greek and Romanesque, for instance—approaches plasticity from the point of view of bas-relief.
