    Extractions: In his 1993 essay, 'From silence to Polyphony' the Hungarian art critic András Szántó wrote: "Why is there no political art in Hungary? The question leaps right off the gallery walls of Budapest, silent as they are about the drama that has just unfolded here. When future historians begin to chronicle the end of the 20th century in Hungary, they will find reams of documents in their archives and entire libraries stocked with fact and fiction about the turmoil of our time, but the artistic record will be all but blank."(1) It was in this context that I arrived in Budapest three years ago and began making a number of street actions and interventions which were a response to my observations on how the expansion of the Western capitalist culture and values that I was accustomed to were affecting Hungarian society. A number of my works were concerned with the appropriation and redefinition of urban public space for unofficial social purposes such as the temporary and illegal flea markets which evolved in public spaces as a necessary response by the city's homeless to their situation. Through an analysis of the documentation I had gathered concerning these flea markets, I became interested in the ethical considerations involved in representations of poverty. Throughout the history of socially concerned art and liberal journalism, experiences are usually disseminated for the public through images produced from the view of an 'outsider'. These images often serve to further alienate the 'victims' of society from an exclusive audience by reducing them to stereotypes, which evoke pity rather than understanding.

    Extractions: First Nations Art Internet resource of contemporary First Nations Art When Dr. Joan Acland of Concordia University’s Department of Art History began teaching contemporary First Nations art, she came up against a formidable barrier, there was very little research material on Canada’s First Nations artists or their work. Dr. Acland set about filling the void by doing her own research, with a view to publishing a bibliographical book on contemporary Native artists. After ten years of intensive research, she decided to share her findings with the academic community and the general public through the Internet. Dr. Acland turned to the Canada’s Digital Collections (CDC) program for assistance. The CDC program, which gives young Canadians valuable work experience converting Canadian material for display on the Internet, was a natural choice for Dr. Acland. “I wanted to make sure that young people with an interest and commitment to First Nations art and issues would play an integral part in building knowledge in the field,”

    Extractions: How to subscribe to Booklist Magazine Hirsch, Edward. The Demon and the Angel: Searching for the Source of Artistic Inspiration. Mar. 2002. 336p. index. Harcourt, $24 (0-15-100538-9). 709.2. Hirsch, a poet committed to elucidating the power of art, launched his ardent quest with How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry (1999) and now ventures into the very heart of the matter: the nature of artistic inspiration. An elusive subject to be sure, but Hirsch is so steeped in literature, painting, and music, and so voracious in his pursuit of the revelations art delivers, that he’s able to articulate the seemingly ineffable through brilliant critical analyses and empathic insights into artists’ lives. The overarching theme of this unique, exhilarating, and virtuosic performance is an extended definition of duende , “that indefinable force which animates different creators and infuses their deepest efforts.” Federico García Lorca is Hirsch’s guide to the “artistic night mind,” the demonic realm from which this “joyful darkness” flows, while Emerson is his mentor in the study of the angelic aspect of inspiration and its “ferocious light.” Not only does Hirsch evocatively explicate the mystical creative experiences of such diverse and seminal artists as Rilke, Stevens, Klee, Pollock, Martha Graham, Miles Davis, and Jimi Hendrix, he also unveils the origins of such radical departures as abstract painting and jazz. Hirsch himself is imbued with the soulful spirit he celebrates, and its “dark radiance” shimmers on every inspired page. —

    Extractions: As one of this country's established leaders in supporting and presenting contemporary Asian art, the Asia Society and Museum has commissioned eight major new works from nine Asian and Asian American artists as part of the renovation and expansion of its galleries and public spaces. The pieces were unveiled on November 17, at the opening of the Asia Society's redesigned world headquarters at 725 Park Avenue in New York. The works are long-term installations in the Society's public spaces, and include a large-scale wall mural, seating arrangements in the main lobby, a neon and water sculpture in the new Garden Court, and other installations throughout the building. Artists selected for the commissions are Heri Dono Yong Soon Min Vong Phaophanit Navin Rawanchaikul Nilima Sheikh Shahzia Sikander Sarah Sze Xu Bing and Xu Guodong . The Asia Society and Museum has chosen this exceptionally diverse group of artists to reflect the range of contemporary art being produced in Asia, and by artists of Asian descent. Many of the artists selected are already well known in the U.S.; for others the commission is their first introduction to a broad audience outside Asia. Five of the artists are men, four women; they come from Laos, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, China, Thailand, Korea, and Japan. All of them create contemporary pieces rather than working strictly within traditional Asian styles and media.

    Extractions: While a work of art can be viewed and admired, a deeper appreciation of its aesthetics, artist, process and materials ensures a richer viewing experience. To this end, SOFA NEW YORK 2000 will again present its acclaimed Lecture Series and Artist Demonstrations, featuring internationally prominent artists, arts professionals and collectors in over twenty presentations. This year's SOFA NYC 2000 LECTURE SERIES and Artist Demonstrations will feature many seminal ceramic artists, whose groundbreaking work established that the utility of a vessel was no longer a prerequisite for its validity, and that ceramic materials could be used to create a major art form. Principal among ceramic artists speaking in the SOFA NYC Lecture Series is John Mason i His revolutionary ceramic sculptures, like the work of Peter Voulkos, with whom he was closely associated at the time, were the result of a dialogue with Abstract Expressionism, the dominant contemporary art movement of the postwar period. Mason's trademark towering vertical clay sculptures expressed the straightforward physicality of clay, but also a minimalist elegance of repeating geometrical forms. ii Mason is part of a bonafide revolution in the way artists work with and think about clay, and his work is part of the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, American Craft Museum, Renwick Gallery, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institute, and many others. Perimeter Gallery, Chicago will represent Mr. Mason at SOFA NYC.

    Extractions: Current Exhibitions Artists Profile Exhibition Archives Artist Profile SIMON GILBY Simon lives and works in Guilderton with partner Kate Campbell-Pope and their son Finn. A Diploma of Fine Art majoring in Sculpture at Claremont School of Art gave Simon the basis from which he has developed his art practice. He developed a way of working with metal using flowing lines to create text and patterns. This trademark signature has manifested itself in public and large scale works from the Parkerville Children’s Home to Melville Council, Port Hedland and the Peel Health Campus at Mandurah. He has done residencies at Ballajura Community College, Carine High School, Penrhos College and PICA. Simon and Kate were the instigators and co-ordinators of the Sunsmart artist–in-residence art trail at Moore River, Guilderton last year. That project involved seven artists living and working in Guilderton for one month. The experimental works generated through that process acted as a powerful tool to talk about the ecological and geophysical consequences of development in fragile coastal spaces. Simon and Kate’s vision for the project was huge and their ability to bring it off, a credit to their perseverance and that of those they worked with.

    Extractions: General Info History Culture Art ... LINKS On this page City of poets, writers and scientists Dubrovnik Painting School The naval power of Dubrovnik Related topics monuments famous citizens exhibitions legends The city of poets, writers and scientists Many forms of artistic expression flourished during the long and rich history of Dubrovnik. The Dubrovnik literature experienced its renaissance "rebirth" in the 15th and 16th century, when many immortal works of literature were created. Emerging from life in Dubrovnik and created to amuse, provoke, cry and laugh, Dubrovnik literature developed from the people. The Dubrovnik Rectors, regarded as the best-educated citizens of Dubrovnik of that time (Dinko Ranjina, Dominiko Zlatariæ, Ivan Gunduliæ and others), created immortal poems about their beloved city of Dubrovnik. Ivan Gunduliæ , the greatest Croatian 17th century writer, predicted the downfall of the great Turkish Empire in his great poem Osman. As freedom was regarded as the greatest value to Dubrovnik, he wrote these immortal verses that are performed till today on every opening of the world famous Dubrovnik Summer Festival: " O you beautiful, o you dear, o you sweet freedom… all the silver, all the gold, all human lives, can not pay for your pure beauty…".

    Extractions: Objective: The goal of the Putaendo Sculpture Symposia is to bring together prominent sculptors who, in collaboration with novel artists, will contribute to the expansion of the Cart Cemetery Sculpture Park, a non-profit association created in April of 2000. Concurrently, muralists-in-residence will continue the work previously done by artists in the streets of Putaendo, and an artistic activity will be organized with the participation of the local young people. Our Concept of Public Art: T he sculptures contained in the Sculpture Park are located on an open terrace, where they share their space with herds of goats, on the outskirts of the town of Putaendo, a farming community of some 10,000 inhabitants. The works of art in the Sculpture Park form part of the daily lives of the local population. The process of artistic creation, which takes place outdoors, allows the townspeople to develop a personal relationship with the work of art. After three weeks of intense labor, the artists leave and Putaendo returns to its longstanding activities, but the sculptures remain.
