Full textAquesta tesi doctoral estudia l’obra de Nina Konradovna Slobodinskaya (1898-1984), escultora a l’època soviètica. La seva obra creativa abraça més de 50 anys i inclou totes les tendències artístiques, temes actuals i tota classe de gèneres culturals en el període més contradictori i sanguinari de l’art rus del segle XX. Nina Slobodinskaya és una artista del seu temps, que va reaccionar als reptes del moment i que va saber reflectir-ho en les seves obres. No obstant, encara que es trobés immersa en plena era soviètica, va crear de manera independent, escollint temes humanistes i atemporals. Com que va seguir les seves pròpies inclinacions artístiques, va contradir les estrictes normes soviètiques, es va oposar a seguir els dictàmens artístics de l’Estat, i això va fer que se la menystingués i se la ignorés, i va caure a l’oblit. D’origen noble i pertanyent al cercle d’artistes, filosofs, esculptors i escriptors de l’ elit cultural russa, va saber captar i transmetre els seus valors i la seva visió del món a les seves escultures; les va enriquir amb un profund contingut simbòlic i espiritual. D’aquesta manera descobrim una escultora amb una visió artística pròpia i un estil individual que ens porta a entreveure creences espirituals i filosòfiques, inherents a la tradició russa, que pel seu sistema de valors encara pertanyia a la Rússia imperial que, per tant, va estar condemnada a l’extermini per les polítiques de Lenin i Stalin

Full textThe career of Ana Mendieta is part of the aesthetic movements of the late twentieth century. Primitivism in art is one of them. This research examines in depth how her primitivism was, from the formal analysis of some of her artworks directly influenced by African art, to developing a theoretical rationale of the ritual performance that extends primitivism as an artistic resource beyond the aesthetic scope. The historical context behind the academic training of Ana Mendieta and the time she spent in New York are the keys that provide a glimpse into her hitherto unpublished works. The application of a comparative methodology has allowed to establish connections amongst art, anthropology, archeology, colonial history of Spain, the history of religion and feminism

Full textBioart. An Aesthetic of disruption focuses on how the relationship between biotechnology and artistic practises has raised unprecedented questions about body, life, about the relationship between art, science, society, ethics, aesthetics, economy and politics. The use of biotechnology and semi-living entities as an essential part of artistic research allows us to ask which has been the evolution of Life concept from a philosophical perspective. These projects show us the necessity of a re-evaluation of standard taxonomies, and can also enable new discourses on the different relationships we establish with these "new entities", about humankind and the relationship between humans and non-humans animals. This kind of artistic works can become a set of focal points from which to analyse possible ethical questions about the use of biological material for artistic purpose, or the role of philosophy in artistic research. This PhD dissertation connects some bioartistic practises with some philosophical concepts and issues, as the ethical claims of using biological material for artistic purposes, the ethical claims of using non-humans animals as a part of the artworks, the role of art in research, the role of contemporary philosophy in artistic research, and tries to show how technological innovation and science research are becoming key to contemporary aesthetics. An aesthetic of disruption proposes to take the potential of these artistic practises to disrupt the body, disrupting the codes, narratives and taxonomies. It involves the composition of a fractal landscape, a collage that allows us a new construction from the estrangement, new questions about the body, life, ethics and politics. A disruption that allows to re-think-us in an extended-plane, an aesthetic that allows us to escape from an unifying and hierarchic organisation.

Full textThis dissertation studies Saint Anthony’s text, cult and iconography in Catalonia in the XIVth and XVth, although these geographical and chronological limitations are broken when necessary. This subject has been studied more in general or giving attention to other countries, but not to Catalonia. This is what this dissertation pretends to do, but with a different approach from what other studies did, focusing on images and their iconography but on text and devotion as well. Even if this is an Art History dissertation, the interdisciplanary approach was needed: studying the iconography implied analyzing the texts as well, in which historiography had paid less attention than the one it deserves. This allowed us to reach to general conclusions but also to other related to more concrete aspects, wheter about text, cult or iconography. After the first chapter dedicated to the heremitism, its presence in medieval literatura and the cult to hermitic saints –which contextualizes the saint and his cult- this dissertation studies saint’s text, devotion and iconography. Then, a catalogue compiles all the information related to the pieces and, at the end, we find the conclusions. The study of the texts starts with the ones written soon after saint’s death and their spreading in Catalonia. This lead me to analize some hagiographical compendiums, among them different Catalan Golden Legend manuscripts, which made me think about some hypothesis and statements historiography had defended. Then, we focus on the other text written during Middle Ages, which made saint Anthony’s hagiography richer, and on how they were well-known in Catalonia. Besides, some hagiographical news gathered in other codices are included. With all, the vivacy of the saint’s hagiography is clear. As far as the cult to the saint is concerned, the role that the order of Saint Anthony played in promoting it is studied here. Furthermore, the importance of the saint’s protection on the animals for the devotion is analized as well. This protection is justified by the text, the importance of the pig for the order and for the situation of the saint’s festivity during the Winter season. Then, I wonder about the saint’s speciallity of saving ships about to shipwreck. Finally, the wideness of the cult and its visual traduction is shown. The following chapter is dedicated to study saint Anthony’s iconography as well as the episodes represented in Catalan art, from those that are more famous to the ones that only appear few times. In Catalonia, studying these images is so difficult because of the lost of many relevant information, which does not happen in other countries. Besides, some of the greatest cycles are lost, too. Anyway, the known information about the different pieces is compilled in the catalogue, which also includes some images and copied documents, in case they are important. At the end, the conclusions gather the contributions of this dissertation, showing, on the one hand, how some aspects have been solved and, on the other hand, how others are still open. Some possible ways of future research have been indicated as well.

Full textThis PhD thesis studies the relationship between Joan Brossa and the visual arts. The work explores diverse fields and topics. In this way, the first chapter is devoted to the analysis of the author’s visual poetry; the second focusses specifically on the apparent differentiated evolution of his work and its linking with the work of other artists of his circle; the third investigates the turning point attributed to his work after the publication of Em va fer Joan Brossa in 1951; the fourth analyses Brossa’s taste for oneiric and everyday elements, his structuring of reality through photography, as well as the adoption of other arts’ techniques such as collage and film editing in his poetic production; the fifth deals with the author’s work with movement in his experimental plays and the sixth one studies the phenomenon of reification in Brossa’s poetry through his so called “object poems”. In the final conclusive chapter it is argued to what extent Brossa’s relationship with the visual arts determined the final result of his work and clearly conditions both the perception of and the theorising about the poet.

But it also gives us a very useful on the history, society and technology which created the art object, often providing new data and even those had to rectifying certain. In addition, once processed, the materials of which are composed art objects initiate processes of change in contact with the environment around them, "the time also paints." All materials evolve and transform over time. The analysis and subsequent interpretation of the materials that make up the artwork and the difficulties suffered by the piece (burials previous restorations, repainting, possible forgeries ...) we will deal with knowledge of both actions to preventive conservation and eventual restoration interventions. In this regard the contribution of physicochemical techniques in art history and knowledge and the preservation of cultural heritage in general are unquestionable, at least in theory. But we must build bridges that allow art historians and asset managers understand the contributions that these techniques are knowledge and safeguard a heritage that belongs to everyone. This thesis aims -from a thorough analysis of the current situation in Catalonia when knowledge of the contributions that science does- provide tools to these groups so that they can understand a little better the world of materials characterization of heritage. With this objective has prepared a complete handbook Physicochemical techniques aimed at art historians and managers of cultural heritage; but also proposes actions meeting between historians, managers, curators, conservators and scientists with the aim of creating a common body of knowledge.

Full textThis PhD research project analyzes the specific contemporary connection between fiction and visual arts. In the context of what Arthur Danto calls post-historical era the boundaries between arts have diluted. In this new paradigm, it becomes apparent that there are no stylistic or philosophical constraints. There is no special way works of art have to be. Since the breakdown of his relationship with the act of vision, visual arts have radicalized their dependence to theoretical sphere, establishing a central role of word. In this context and in constant dialogue with the "eruption of reality," some artists create fictions, works where spectators are invited to imagine beyond a factual fact. The focus of this research is to investigate what we call fictional space: the coordinates and signs that make emerge a story and that create a novelistic position. These are fictions that can not be read on a syntactic order, there is no plot composed and the figure of the narrator is diluted among the artist, the voice projected, and the public.

Full textThis doctoral thesis proposes a new study of the performances done by the Catalan artists during the seventies. I am not only interested on the formal aspects, but mainly, on the analysis of the cultural, political and intellectual context in which this performances where produced. For this analysis I have used various sources, such as the articles of Alexandre Cirici in the local newspapers and publications of the time, as J. J. Lebel’s Le happening, which worked as sources of the diffusion of the performance art in the Catalan context. I have studied as well later sources as Teresa Camps’ criticisms, among others. With all this information I have tried to establish a general patterns of study of the Catalan performance art. These guidelines confirm that the Catalan performances have a series of cultural reference points,which come from the North American, German and French contexts. These reference points have a common base, rooted, firstly, in the philosophy of language, and secondly, in the critique of the idea of progress -associated to the control exercised by governments in late capitalist societies - defended by the Situationists. I have attempted to explain the emergence of performance art following M. Foucault recommendation of focusing more in the immediate context - national and international –rather than establishing connections with previous movements. Among the Catalan artists stands out the figure of Jordi Benito. He started as one of the most radical and impressive actionists, but what results more interesting is that he evolved to move away from the main tendencies. I interpret this detachment as a demonstration of his disenchantment with the political realignment produced by the Transition process to democracy, which took place during this time. Performances produced by Benito during this time constitute a great challenge for art criticism.

Full textThis, the doctoral thesis entitled "Eduardo Solà Franco, Wilson Paccha, Transtango: Strategies of Masculinities in Ecuador" poses the difficulties, possibilities and limits of the representation of masculinities in the plastic arts and contemporary art in Ecuador. To this end, the first chapter puts forward an analysis of contemporary masculinities resulting from the emergence of the modern nineteenth century masculine subject. In this analysis it is proposed that in that century a hegemonic and dominant masculinity emerged as a result of the scientificist revision of the mythic/religious treatises which dominated and gave sense to what we know as the West. In this chapter is an examination of the convergence, in this masculinity, of the technologies of vision, the contrivancies of social classification, and the medical and psychological discourses which legitimise the negation of the body, of the body of the woman, of the feminine, of feminised bodies, and of homosexuality. In this wide referencial framework, this chapter contextualises the regime of masculine vision and the politics of artistic representation of masculinity in Ecuador throughout the twentieth century. In the second chapter, the investigation gives an account of how the work of the Ecuadorian-Catalan Eduardo Solà Franco (Guayaquil, 1915 - Santiago de Chile, 1996) propounds an irreverent esthetic strategy with respect to the representation of masculity and the body in the local context of the moment. In this chapter is a revision of how this artist's work contravenes the "ought to be" of the esthetic currents of the first half of the twentieth century, so dominated by Indigenism. In contrast, this work presents a theatricised homoerotic masculinity which contradicts not only the ideal of corporality called for in esthetic representations in the above-mentioned context, but also the same configuration of masculinity as a sealed, solid and dominant ideal. This chapter further proposes that this homoerotic masculinity is a great subterfuge operating in reverse of heteronormal practices in which the author inscribed his homosexuality. The third chapter presents the work of Wilson Paccha (born Quito, 1972) as the expression of an extreme and strident theatralisation of masculinity in Ecuador. In that way, this chapter examines how parody, histrionics, chromatic stridence and excess dominate the representation of certain masculine figures which bear the post-colonial footprint. Precisely, it emphasises that the action of this artist from Quito questions the preoccupation for ethno-racial identity as a canonic and prevalent position in the esthetic representations of Ecuador throughout the twentieth century. Starting from this questioning, the masculine subject which the work of Wilson Paccha puts forward is shown to be sceptical and burlesque facing identical discussions which not only dominate the Andean state, but also give substance to the imaginary of the national state. As a result of this esthetic/political posture, this chapter gives an account of how the work of Wilson Paccha evolves into a criticism of hegemonic and dominant masculinity which is furthermore white/european, heterosexist, racist and sexist. By way of appendix, this investigation analyses a contemporary artistic expression which records the current esthetic and political criticism of the mechanisms of opression of the body in contemporary Ecuador. The appendix puts forward the implications of the performance Transtango, in the context of the activism of the sexual diversities of the Andean state, and as a gesture of the widening insipient debate of the relationship between gender and art in the artistic scene of Ecuador.

Full textInteractive art installations, a novel form of expression, have their roots in experimental art forms from the first decades of the XXth century. Thanks to recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence and neuroscience, such installations have reached a new, highly sophis-ticated level of human-machine interactions. For such 'intelligent' spaces I use the term: Performative-Interactive Art Installations (P-IAIs). Due to the relative novelty of P-IAIs, there are no studies analyzing them from the human agent's perspective so far. For this purpose, I have reviewed the utility of three related cognitive linguistics frameworks: the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff and Johnson), image schemas (Johnson) and the Conceptual Integration (Blending) Theory (Fauconnier and Turner) using twelve P-IAIs. The symbolic meanings of the analyzed P-IAIs have been converted into linguistics metaphors using Lakoffian models, which has turned out to be a useful but incomplete approach. The understanding of P-IAIs was subsequently improved by using tools from the Blending Theory (BT). BT combines present and the past contextual information of the agent, highlighting compression of vital relationships between these input mental spaces and producing so called blend. The study analyzes agent's sensorial processes (in particular: sensorimotor), perception, metaphor processing and emotional responses. The main results are: (i) automatic sensorimotor reactions invoked by the relevant subset of analyzed P-IAIs are important for understanding the implications of such P-IAIs; (ii) such installations induce sensorial and subsequent perceptive changes within the agent specific to P-IAIs. Finally, I propose that the Conceptual Integration Theory is an useful tool for interpreting agent's cognitive responses to IAI-P.

Full textCatalan Modernism, had the Japonism one of the sources most importants for his inspiration, not only aesthethic but also conceptual. This influence had combinated with barcelona society in the end of XIX century, specially with intelectuals and artists, the same that happened in the rest of Europe. The disussion between the industry, synonimus of modernity and progress, and the traditionals arts had needed to not make any distintions between majors arts and the wrong named decorative arts; having the japanese art as a model to follow. In this sense, we can find the intellectual Antoni García Llansó (1854-1914), art critic, historian and japanese divulgator, representing a Barcelona nineteen centruy intellectual art knowledge. Even if some authors had mentioned the name of García Llansó as a japanese culture divulgator and art critic, it has needed to be made his first biography. That’s the reason why we want to show in the first part of this dissertation, a biographical view of the intelectual. In the second chapter, we are going to study his contribution like an art critic in various historical publications such as La Ilustración de la mujer, La Ilustración. Revista Semanal de Literatura, Artes y Ciencias; La Ilustración. Revista Hispano-Americana; La Vanguardia; La Ilustración Artística. Periódico Semanal de Literatura, Artes y Ciencias; among others. Thanks to this publicacions we can analyse the thoughs of García Llansó and his evolution like an art critic. In the third chapter we are going to study his contribution like an art historian with others intellectuals as Francesc Miquel i Badia (1840-1899), writing the eight volum of Historia General del arte (1897), published by Montaner i Simón. This encyclopedia is considerated the first one dedicated in the catalan art field. In this case, García Llansó contributed with his studies like the biggest specialist iron work studious, in weapons and armours and forge, specially in the collections of Josep Estruch and Santiago Rusiñol. In four position, we are going to study the relation of García Llansó with the Japanese culture, focusing in the reason or reasons, of his election by the japanese empire as a jury of Universal Exhibition in Barcelona 1888. Also, we are going to planning various hypothesis. This chapter it’s going to be mainly focus to study the García Llansó work Dai Nipon (El Gran Japón), 1905. This work was a very important documentary source thanks to we can know the oriental art collectors and collections (Japanese and Chinese) in Barcelona. At last, we made a research of his publications with the following result, 13 work, 1 conference, 5 speech and 293 articles, which are ordenated crhonologically, so we can study the preferences and the thinker evolution of García Llansó. Also we complement this disseration with two appendix. One is dedicated to show different documentation, as a collected letters that had been conservated in Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer and antoher, it shows the graphic appendix with the artistic works García Llansó’s property, today preserved thanks his descendants.

Full textThe thesis is an iconographic study about the Majorcan philosopher, Raymond Lully. In first instance the codification and evolution of the iconographic origins of Raymond Lully are closely studied; commencing with the first set of manuscripts dating from the XIV- XV until the XIX Century. Different iconographic models are established by way of studying the different processes and techniques, such as miniatures, reliefs, paintings and sculpture. After which the close study of the iconographic narrative in all various stages of the life of Raymond Lully is observed, following the footsteps of "Vita Coaetanea" (Daily Life), the very first biography of Lully, as well as later biographies. The starting point of this study are the famous miniatures of Karlsruhe- the first plastic manifestation which treats the most important epoch in the life of Raymond Lully. Apart from the narrative aspect of Lully, another section is dedicated to the Majorcan Beatification and Majorcan Belief in general. St. Praxedes, St. Catherine Thomas, St. Alonso Rodriguez or the venerable Anne Marie of the Holy Sacrament are some of the Saints that accompany the wise Majorcan on his journey. Another relevant section deals with the various religious Orders. The Franciscan Order of St. Francis of Assisi as their leader start the repertoire of images of Franciscan Saints with Raymond Lully. The theme of the defense of the Immaculate Conception is headed by the triad of the Franciscans Duns Escotto, St. Bonaventure and the same Lully. The Dominican Order with the interview of St. Raymond of Peñafort and the wise Majorcan, or the theme of the controversies and the attacks towards the images of Lully are most significant representations. The company of Jesus is also one of the religious Orders that is involved in the Lullian representations. Father Jeffrey Nadal and Father Andreas Moragues were great pillars in the funding of Lullian works. The following section deals with the great iconographic programmes which have been dedicated to the wise Majorcan. In first instance the sepulchre of the XV Century situated in the Chapel of the Purity of Maria in the Convent of St. Francis of Palma of Majorca is studied, in second instance the altarpiece of St. Holy Trinity, work from the beginning of the XVI Century, and thirdly the altarpiece of the so-called “New Chapel of the Beatified Raymond Lully”, created at the beginning of the XVII Century, in fourth and last instance the scenes of the life of Raymond Lully are analized in the paintings of the 600's Michael Bestard. The edition of the thesis is completed by a documentation appendix in which all documentation that could be found in relation to the artistic works has been added. Contracts of altarpieces and paintings, notary accounts as well as declarations about artistic pieces by Lully are the content of this documentation. The catalogue is another of the important pieces of the thesis. The catalogisation and order of representations of the Beatified Raymond Lully has been one of the main concerns in this study. The criteria for the afore-mentioned catalogisation has been based on two elementary keys: the theme or the content of the representation and the chronology. The object of this study is to offer a diachronic vision of the different iconographic models that have been created via the help of literary sources, above all biographies of Lully and other writs, apart from other graphic sources like the copies of the reliefs and other plastic repertoires with their according changes, transmissions and remains that have evolved throughout the course of time.

I reach this conclusion through the analysis of images contained in the Relación de Michoacán (1541) and the Florentine Codex (1579). This supports the view that considers this decisive event as a medieval extension of the Spanish understanding of the world, as different to the logical approach of modern renaissance times. The friars responsible of the manuscripts elaboration Jerónimo de Alcalá and Bernardino de Sahagún declared that their projects main purpose was the knowledge of both Purépecha and Mexica pre Hispanic cultures based on the indians’ declarations, their memories of the events before and during the conquest and their involvement in the writing of the manuscripts. In doing so the friars would also be able to detect and eradicate idolatry in order to effectively establish Christianity. Nevertheless images interpretation in both manuscripts shows the supremacy of medieval mentality upon indigenous world view so that these books reflect the profound and quick acculturation lived in México as much as the lost vanquished cultures. The ideas are developed in four chapters. Chapter I summarizes medieval cultural signs that are to be found in both manuscripts as is the privilege of memory over observation: the truth is so as long as it exists in the memory not as a result of empirical verification. Chapter two deals with the description of the studied manuscripts in terms of their medieval codices strong similarities in structure and characteristics, specifically with Franciscan tradition manuscript making. Next chapter is a review of five iconographic analysis of these codices illustrations. The specialists approached their analysis from different methodologies useful to contrast the present thesis results. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the inquiry of an image selection that explains the end of both studied cultures, interestingly enough, through the assimilation of the new imposed paradigms: forms, significance and values of medieval image making. Key words: social history of art, colonial codices, medieval codices, medieval art, iconography, iconology.

Full textThe present article examines how Fina Miralles’ thought fluctuated from the analytical, neo-positivist current of her first conceptual stage (1972-1975) to her later poetic, textual work linked to spiritual holism (1981-1996), without taking into account her post-conceptual stage (1976-1978) or her concept pictures (1979-1983). Fina Miralles’ works show how the chain of ideas (at times latent and other times more manifest) present in her visual and poetic-textual work process is part of a whole body of work, generated not in a linear manner but as the result of multiple interactions between both, throughout her artistic, literary and philosophical life experience. This study contributes a new insight into the nature of Fina Miralles’ works. It shows how her artistic approach was based on her capacity to relate and interact, and to transpose the essence of her materials, ideas, experiences, and poetic thought (expressed in images and words), to completely unexpected and even imaginary spheres, in order to endow them with a new ontological reality, as captured in the cosmological figure of the tree.

Full textThis thesis explores the creative process and its relationship to the radically unknown as it is described in the early teachings of Chan Buddhism. I develop a metaphysical approach based on the principles of immanence and nondualism accoring to the concepts developed in the aesthetic philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. This transdisciplinary framework is used as a lens to examine two central inquiries related to the creation of the new, a critique of subjectivity and a critique of representational thought, in Deleuze’s theory of creativity and in Chan Buddhist epistemology. The analysis shows that the experience of creativity is a kind of knowledge-expression that transforms our idea of self and our conception of what we call reality. I find support in the writings about their creative process in certain modern artists and some landscape Chinesse painters from Tang and Sung dinasty (VI-XI C.), concluding that Deleuze’s concepts are a valuable tool to interpret the experience of the radically unknown.

Full textEl principal objetivo del presente estudio consiste en analizar la relación existente entre la sociedad barcelonesa y los espectáculos musicales a los que ésta asistirá, dentro del período de tiempo comprendido entre finales del s. XIX y el inicio de la Guerra Civil española. Se trata de un período convulso debido a un replanteamiento de las ideas y valores existentes y que, no solamente trastocará la vida cotidiana de esta sociedad sino que también se hará patente en la creación de nuevos locales de ocio y diversión que ofrecerán espectáculos que estarán más en consonancia con las nuevas formas de pensar y vivir y, también, con los gustos musicales y artísticos que la sociedad demanda. Todo ello bajo la influencia de las nuevas tendencias artísticas que marcará, principalmente, París. También los estilos musicales serán diferentes debido a armonías transgresoras que provendrán del Nuevo Continente; que confluirán en Europa y que cambiarán la estética musical predominante. En definitiva, se quiere llegar a demostrar que esta marea perturbadora, en el ámbito social y musical, acabará interrelacionándose y fusionándose con los modelos artísticos ya existentes, dando lugar a una nueva concepción musical sin, por ello, olvidar lo que se consideraba como “clásico”.
This study from the late nineteenth century to right before the outbreak of the Civil War aims to analyse the relationship between Barcelonese society and the musical performances they attended. It must be borne in mind that this is a particularly turbulent period marked by the reconsideration of existing ideas and values. Not only did these changes have a deep impact on the day-to-day life of Barcelonese society, but they also paved the way for the emergence of new leisure and entertainment venues which hosted shows more in line with a new way of thinking and living, and which met the musical, and more generally, the artistic demand of society. And all under the influence of new artistic trends determined by Paris. Musical styles changed because ground-breaking harmonies from the New World amalgamated in Europe, thus reshaping existing musical aesthetics. This study attempts to prove that this disruptive wave in the social and musical scene eventually interacted and merged with existing artistic models, resulting in a new musical conception, without putting aside what is considered ‘classic’.

Precisely this is Regina José Galindo's desire when she does her performances: to make possible the artistic action as engine of society's change. People who read these lines and still move in the band of the cynicism we will give them reasons in this book for them to believe in art as an educational platform. If Galindo has could deal, process and make possible the empathy in her as in the public who observes it to execute his performances, why would not this power be removable to every person who is viewing her artworks? Latin American women artists have had the courage to denounce the facts that make us move back backwards as a conscious and a responsible society. By means of an universal and powerful way such as a camera lend they analyze, like we actually do in this essay, the empowerment which art gives to people and the challenges we will have to overcome to turn into the global and empathic species they say we really are. Therefore, performance will be a creative weapon.

Full textLos sistemas multiespectrales tienen la característica principal de proporcionar acceso a información espectral de una muestra con alta resolución espacial. En esta tesis, como principal objetivo, se ha diseñado e implementado un sistema multiespectral para aplicarlo al estudio de obras de arte. Este sistema comprende dos módulos: el módulo 1 UV-Vis, con una cámara CCD con sensibilidad entre 370nm y930nm, acoplada a una fuente de diodos emisores de luz (LED) con 16 canales diferentes, es decir 16 1ongitudes de onda de emisión; y el módulo 2 IR, con una cámara lnGaAs con sensibilidad entre 930nm y 1650nm, acoplada a una fuente LED con 7 longitudes de onda de emisión. Por tanto, el sistema completo abarca desde 370nm a 1650nm con un total de 23 canales. Se caracterizaron los elementos del sistema y se han realizado simulaciones para evaluar su rendimiento en la reconstrucción de reflectancias espectrales bajo condiciones ideales, condiciones de ruido de cuantificación y aditivo. Su rendimiento se evaluó empleando la fórmula de diferencia de color CIEDE2000, el error cuadrático medio (RMSE) y el coeficiente de bondad del ajuste (GFC). Los resultados de las simulaciones mostraron un buen rendimiento general del sistema, aunque con mejores resultados para el módulo 1 UV-Vis debido a la mayor cantidad de canales LED en su rango espectral. Paralelamente se implementaron los programas computacionales con sus respectivas interfaces gráficas necesarias para el control del hardware usado y para el procesamiento de la información proporcionada por el sistema. Para la reconstrucción espectral empleamos un método de interpolación directa basado en splines, y los métodos de pseudoinversa indeterminada (PSE-l) y pseudoinversa simple (PSE) que necesitan de un entrenamiento con un conjunto de muestras con respuestas digitales del sistema y reflectancias espectrales conocidas. El equipo se evaluó sobre muestras reales de la carta de colores Color Checker CCCR y sobre un conjunto de pinturas al fresco realizadas con pigmentos comúnmente presentas en obras de arte. Los resultados de las métricas CIEDE2000, RMSE y GFC mostraron que los métodos de la PSE-1 y PSE tienen desempeños similares, con resultados ligeramente mejores para el segundo método. El método de interpolación presentó un rendimiento ligeramente menor, aunque tiene el valor práctico de no necesitar entrenamiento. Los resultados reales para el método del PSE fueron similares a los obtenidos mediante simulación, y se mostró una vez más que el módulo 2 IR tiene un rendimiento inferior. Se concluyó que en general el desempeño del sistema era bueno, con valores CIEDE2000 y RMSE promedio para los métodos basados en PSE del orden de 1 unidad en ambos casos. El sistema desarrollado fue aplicado a obras de arte en el museo de Monasterio de Pedralbes, en Barcelona, y las Iglesias de Sant Pere, en Terrassa. En el Monasterio de Pedralbes se capturaron diferentes imágenes de pinturas murales de la capilla de San Miguel y se evaluó el desempeño del sistema para esta aplicación de museo, mostrando un desempeño similar al reportado en las pruebas de laboratorio. También se accedió a la obra “Virgen de la Leche” que es un óleo en tabla de gran formato. En esta obra se aprovechó el diseño modular y de fácil movimiento del sistema para generar por composición una imagen completa a partir de varias imágenes menores. En las iglesias de Sant Pere se exploraron pinturas murales que se estima datan de las épocas visigoda (siglos VI-VII) y románica (siglos XII-XIII) para evaluar si existían características en las pinturas que no fueran evidentes en el rango visible y que si lo fueran en otros rangos espectrales. Para ello se implementaron algoritmos de realce de la información. Los resultados obtenidos en esta tesis doctoral ponen de manifiesto las potencialidades del sistema multiespecral desarrollado para la obtención de información espectral en las regiones ultravioleta, visible e infrarrojo

Full textThis research proposes a critical reflection about the processes of knowledge that the technological communicative weave is introducing in our societies. For it, we resort to the manners of exhibition that deploy in the rodas of capoeira, through a transdisciplinar study of Maranhão culture. Because, we understand that the relational disposition that these rituals put in place can represent a metaphorical archetype of the fenomenology that originates with the Interface. The capoeira comes projecting a way of organizing and thinking the knowledge that does not correspond with the reflection of an essence, but with a network(net) of relations formed with other individuals, other communities and other cultures. Through the cultural heterogeneity that comes together in this social device of symbolic communication, we come to interpret the circumstances that the new technological interface unleashes in the complex maze of the contemporary communication. Since, the new visual devices of digital communication have provoked that this interface has ceased to be a mere instrument to turn into an essential part of the social structure. This disposition leads us to thinking about the role of media in the mixed identity of cultural contemporary representations, as well as, in the development of the discussion about the hybrid regime of the image and the epistemological representation capacity of the technological devices of the vision. On having adopted this perspective we understand that this devices set out a kind of representation which referred directly to the holographic dissolution of the segregated categories (subject-object-image-knowledge). And, in turn, that the recursive movement of interpellation that is established in these spaces of performance comes to represent an imaginative flow that places the subjects (users and players) facing the dilemma of taking part of a way of knowledge that is precisely the one that they want to determine.

Full textThis thesis examines the art produced by Iranian artists between 1979 and 2012, focusing on the consequences caused by the Islamic Revolution. It shows how the censorship imposed by Jomeini, provoked that artists in literature, poetry, music, painting, photography, cinema and videoart escaped from Iran and integrated in different United States and European countries, forming a large Iranian colony. An important number of intellectuals struggling to pass new ideological frontiers, religious, social and cultural, despite doubts and contradictions, questioning their own values and behavior with a deep desire to strengthen their cultural identity, trying to get rid of the imposition of thoughts and religious beliefs, deeply interiorized from centuries. They play a public role denouncing the events in his country, and although a certain risk, his voice may have international reverberation makes them stronger, safe and highly assertive. The thesis works a comparative study between art done by Iranian artists in exile, with art produced by artists living in Iran, beginning with new disciplines such as digital art, video, installation and performance, as well as a new approach to photography, much more disruptive and protest that documentary. They have been able to set up a new alternative version of national identity. Iran-based artists are obliged to work from the metaphor and allegory to avoid the risk of being accused of traitors or rebels. They need to be in the range of what they can say and what they say, between what is suggested and what means. An ironic game between reality and fiction used to communicate their displeasure to the world. Although living in Iran, their eyes look to the United States, Canada, Great Britain or France, countries where lives the largest Iranian community. This research shows too that although the differences between art made by Iranian artists in exile and those who remain engaged in Iran, and despite the different ways they focus their artistic discourses, it is shared an important aspect: they include in their work ancient and traditional Persian cultural roots as calligraphy, mythology, history and poetry.

Full textThe present investigation of the complex fear – terror, as inherent in the human condition, aims to observe how this complex is manifested in the history of art, particularly in the visual arts since the beginning of modernity to late twentieth century. The manifestation of the complex is carried out through three figures, which arise from the disintegration of the medieval figure of the demonic: the sublime, the sinister and the abject. The sublime refers to a coming threat of force located beyond the individual reason; the sinister to the threat by the unconscious; and the abject which comes from the body, moving into the social body. Reflection on the three figures is constructed primarily from literary, psychological, anthropological and philosophical sources, maintaining the same axis as an iconographic atlas that reflects the complex manifestation of fear - terror.

Full textIn the context of creation process occasioning video-artistic practice designed for a specific place or applied to a sculpture, the expansion broadens its meaning. It does not only suggest the light projection on a surface, but it gives as well room for a convergence of disciplines, integration of poetics, and merging of different methods into one action. The extension of an image to a movement implies an itinerary from a story possessing its own image, to the relationship which the story establishes with a place or a three-dimensional object, and through the narration resulting from the meeting of both. This point of convergence generates multiple bridges and dialectics. The thesis analyses three of possible areas: video art, sculpture, and cinematography.The framework of this theoretical and practical study on an expanded video art offers the possibility of navigation through vague territories of creation process. We thus interpret itineraries equivalent to the ours intuitively assuming that what impulses these movements in the first and last resort is a common quest for a longed for image which would reflect the profound sense of the author's vital experience and vision.The expanded video art as a medium of convergence and synthesis of creation can generate an adaptable and inclusive procedure in relation to the purpose of each undertaken project. Its practical and theoretical itinerary facilitates interdisciplinary convergences, intimate introspections, poetical expressions, and politic action. At the same time, it is an ideal framework of research in order to guide the longing which impulses the movement.

Full textThe main aim of this thesis is to describe the production and reception of Romanesque metalwork in Catalonia. This subject has largely been neglected by the Catalan historiography, probably due to the relatively low quality of the preserved corpus of works, mainly constituted by pieces of minor materials (as copper, bronze, among others). To overcome this limitation, documentary sources have been used in the present study as fundamental evidences. This allowed the identification of major and ambitious metalwork of the period, which places Catalonia at the same level of other similar territories of medieval Europe. The thesis has been organized in two volumes. The main theoretical body is in the first one, while the second includes a catalogue of the preserved pieces and several auxiliary appendices. The theoretical body comprises eight chapters that analyze from different perspectives metalwork in Romanesque Catalonia. The first chapter focuses in materials (provenance, characteristics, and relevance). The second covers the description of local goldsmiths, a subject difficult to approach due to the scarce evidences and reports of them that available. The third study describes the importations, a fundamental subject to complete the vision of Catalan metalwork, where objects coming from Islamic territories, from the Mediterranean East, or from the limousine region in central France, are certainly relevant. The fourth chapter focuses the economic value of sumptuary objects, analyzing the patrons, the owners of metalwork and its cultural and economic usages. The following four chapters are direct approaches to the objects. First, there is a description of the sumptuary liturgical furniture of cathedrals and major monastic houses, based on documentary sources, which are quite specific in this subject. Next two chapters analyses (in a typological classification) both religious and profane objects, the second having a fundament role in medieval times that is often neglected by modern historiography. Last chapter includes four in-depth studies of four specially relevant Catalan works (the silver baldachin in Ripoll –unfortunately lost–; an enameled censer preserved in the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya; the so-called ciborium from la Cerdanya or “Barcelona ciborium” also in the MNAC; and the Missal of Sant Ruf in Tortosa cathedral’s treasure). The second volume of the thesis presents the above mentioned catalogue of preserved works, which clearly shows the difference between what was done in the time and what has last. It also includes a documentary repertory with documents related to Catalan metalwork, a glossary of terms and a complete bibliography.

Full textEl estudio es una aproximación antropológica del arte a partir del artista. Dos son los puntos centrales de esta tesis, a partir de los que se derivan los restantes: 1. Considerar el arte una actividad físico-psíquico-espiritual que nace de la propia naturaleza humana; aspecto analizado en el primer apartado A. QÜESTIONS PRELIMINARS; 2. El poder del arte: a) en su relación con los poderes fácticos, parte B. ART I PODER; b) el poder que nace del propio dinamismo interno del arte, parte C. EL PODER DE L’ART Partiendo de estas consideraciones la tesis intenta responder a cerca del origen de la fuerza que emana del propio arte hasta hacerlo un «medio» atractivo a los poderes fácticos, especialmente las ideologías políticas i los totalitarismos. Algunos aspectos son estudiados a partir de dos figuras contemporáneas: Frida Kahlo i Marc Chagall. Temas no menos importantes, que sin ser objeto directo de análisis de la tesis, han surgido necesariamente de los puntos centrales, y han tenido que ser estudiados con más o menos profundidad. Estos son: a) qué se entiende por arte y estética hoy, en un momento en que la indefinición se extiende a todos los campos de la sociedad; b) la sujeción y la libertad del artista en el proceso creativo; cómo y de qué manera conviven estos dos aspectos en el artista. Tanto desde fuera, en lo que respecta a las presiones y condicionamientos externos a les que está sometido el propio artista, como desde dentro, por el propio mecanismo interno del proceso creativo, así como por la misma obra de arte; c) el arte como «valor», en tanto que actividad humana, mide el grado de humanización de una sociedad pero, a la vez, puede convertirse en un medio de humanización y de recuperación de valores olvidados o depreciados. Así el arte es comprendido, también, en su valor pedagógico y comunicativo-expresivo, y en este sentido será estudiado también el poder del arte y sus relaciones con los poderes hegemónicos. Por su capacidad comunicativa y, por tanto transformadora, la manipulación a que puede someter el hombre al arte, dirigida a una actuación sobre el hombre mismo, resulta un hecho evidente, provocando así una desnaturalización del arte y del propio hombre. Un aspecto significativo del estudio es la comprensión del arte cómo «mediación», y la «pureza» del arte, entendiendo por pureza la «genuinidad» del arte. Así, en este sentido, cuando el arte es «puro» huye de todo sometimiento a poderes fácticos. Es transformador y está abierto a la posibilidad del «encuentro» con un «tu» y con un «Tu» espiritual. Consciente que el tema es profundamente abierto, la tesis, por la pròpia naturaleza de su temática, no puede dejar el estudio como un todo cerrado, però sí, presentar nuevos y sugerentes planteamientos.
The thesis is an anthropological approach on the art in its different forms: Painting, music, literature and sculpture. And all these forms are examined starting from the artist. The axes vertebrating this study are two, on which depend the other points, as follow: 1. Considers the art as an innate physic-psychological-spiritual activity of the human nature. This point is analyzed in the first part of the work, specifically in the A. PRELIMINARY INTRODUCTION. 2. The second axis deals with the power of art: a) in its relation with the factual powers. This aspect is dealed to a large extent in the section B. ART AND POWER, and b) the power which comes out from the internal dynamism self of the art. This point is developed in the section C. THE POWER OF ART. According to the basis of these thoughts the doctoral dissertation intents to answer to the question from where comes the strength that is born in the art itself, even to become attractive to the factual powers, to the political ideologies to the political totalitarism. Some of these aspects are developed starting from tow wellknown contemporaneous artists: Frida Kahlo and Marc Chagall. There are some non the important subjects, which without being the direct matter of this thesis, have rose necessarily from its central points, and so they have been approached more or less deeply. These secondary aspects are: a) What do we understand today when we speak about art and aesthetics?; b) Subjection and freedom of the artist in the creative process and how both can live together in the artist (Unfortunately the tack of clear definition proliferates in this field). Both outside the external pressions and conditions to which is subjected and inside due to creative process itself and to the work of art; c) The art as «value» as human activity, measures the level of humanity of the society. In fact, the art can become means of humanization and recovery of the lost and despised values. And consequently the art is also understood in its pedagogical and communicating value. And is of course in this sense that our work approaches the power of the art and the relation between power and art. And the reality is so because its communicative strength is also transformating capacity. And precisely this capacity can become a man’s manipulation by the man, and consequently the perversion of the art’s nature and of the human being. A signification aspect of this thesis is the art’s presentation as mediation and the art’s pureness as genuineness. The pure art does not look for manipulating aims, and does not submit to the leading powers. The true art is transformer and open to the possibility of the meeting with a «you» and with the spiritual «You». The thesis is fully aware that the subject is deeply infinite and open, so the work according its own nature can’t close all the aspects, but can suggest new statements.

Full textHelmud Leder’s model defines and orders the affective and cognitive processes involved in the aesthetic experience. On the basis of this model, we studied the aesthetic response of a sample of female design students, who were invited to interact with an art installation. The participants filled in various pre-post questionnaires to record aspects of affective valence, self-consciousness and anxiety. After the experience in the installation, they were given other questionnaires to find out their opinions on the quality of the experience and their interpretation of the significant elements of the installation, and the degree of consistency of each of these elements with the installation as a whole. By comparing the data obtained from all the participants before and after the experience in the installation, we analysed the extent to which there were detectable trends in cognitive and affective changes that may be dependent on the stimulating material. Meanwhile, in order to verify the influence of previously provided information on the conceptual content of the installation in the response of participants, we defined two sub-groups, one of which received additional information on the contents of the installation, while the other did not. The results suggest that the “H1” art installation has the property of generating changes in some of the affective and cognitive variables studied, and that the provision of additional basic information on the concepts represented in the installation affects certain aspects of both the cognitive and affective response of the participants.
