Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an analytical study of the various critical approaches taken to the work of Eva Hesse and their underlying methodologies and theoretical assumptions. Its purpose is to determine in a general way how and why the nature of criticism has changed from positions strongly influenced by Modernism as defined by Clement Greenberg to those that involved a separation of criticism from consideration of artworks as individual phenomena.For the most part, Chapter One concerns critics' Modernist analyses of Hesse's relationship to Minimalism and their progression towards a criticism based on non-formalist, non-hierarchical theories of style. There is also a short discussion on the linkage created between Hesse's art and specific psychological traumas in her life. Included as well is an explanation of the changing conception of originality and the critic's dilemma in confronting private content through the strictures of public dialogue.
Chapter Two investigates critical discussions of experience, how art was apprehended and how meaning was transmitted.
Chapter III involves a feminist debate on the issues of gender. The content of Hesse's work was analyzed in psycho-biographical terms and within the framework of her identity as a female artist in western culture.
And finally, the thesis concludes by pointing out the evolution of criticism into a distinct, independent discipline whereby the critic articulates the theoretical contexts in which the artwork exists, but then extends in into a broader cultural setting where the critic analyzes the significance of such positions taken, its relationship to the past and future implications.

Nurmi, Kaela L. "Challenges Surrounding the Conservation and Replication of Eva Hesse’s Sculpture." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2015. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/709.
Full textAbstract:
The sculpture of German-born American artist, Eva Hesse (1936-1970), presents many conservation challenges. Hesse’s experimentations with latex and fiberglass created stunningly innovative works of art in the late 1960s bringing these unorthodox materials into the world of fine art; but now these materials are creating major conservation problems. Her artwork is an extreme example of the conservation challenges of contemporary art. This thesis examines the challenges surrounding the conservation and replication of Eva Hesse’s large-scale latex and fiberglass sculptures. The latex and fiberglass materials that captivated Hesse are compromising the structural integrity of her large-scale sculptures today. Hesse’s art forces conservators to establish conservation practices specific to modern and contemporary art. Although replication pushes conservators to re-examine their usual practices and violates the standard notion of minimal intervention, the replication of Hesse’s sculptural works is necessary to represent her artistic vision.

Full textAbstract:
After relational aesthetics, the performative and relational qualities of sculpture are understood as an event or result of a social engagement, rendering the art object as an obstruction to these qualities, rather than a gateway. Stages for Objects examines a select history of the art object as a medium and a site for correspondence, and a lineage of artists who activate and evidence performativity and relational thinking in the privacy of the studio, rather than in the public eye.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I will examine the difficulties of documenting ephemeral art and the possible solutions that archivists, curators, artists and other museum professions have come up with. I will begin by presenting a background of the history of performance art, which was the impetus for all ephemeral art to come. Then I will present case studies of three artists: Allan Kaprow, Eva Hesse, and Richard Tuttle, and their archival processes, all of which provide very different approaches to similar artistic problems. Finally, I will discuss the implications of re-performance and re-creation of ephemeral artworks.

Individual paintings are chronological self portrait reflecting upon my own experiences and those in the wider community who at some point in their lives have had to endure the struggles, and negative stigma that is so often attached to those who have become marginalised and detached from mainstream society. People found in this category include the disabled, homeless, unemployed, and those with addiction problems. Each painting bears a close connection with techniques associated with abstract expressionist painting. This radiates through the vast expanse of drips, stains and explosions which appear to suffocate the paintings delicate monochrome surface. Strong references to Kristeva’s theory on Abjection arrive through the aggressive and violent outbursts of paint that evoke an atmosphere of symbolic horror, personal dysfunction and social oppression. This emerges out of the shadows and private spaces of the painting’s domestic interior. Deep emotional, psychological, sociological sensitivities are raised throughout my studio practice. Combined with a series of unresolved tensions, and questions surrounding normality run deep a consequence of society’s push for normality are being felt most acutely by those effected by this form of sociology. The ideas raised through my studio project had a profound influence on the research being conducted for the dissertation. Kristeva’s theory on Abjection, along side the practices of Eva Hesse, Barnett Newman, Agnes Martin emerged from a group of highly emotional abstract paintings. This strengthened the connection between the studio project and the dissertation.

Full textAbstract:
This practice-led research was initiated in response to a series of violent encounters that occurred between my fragile installations and viewers. The central focus of this study was to recuperate my installation practice in the wake of such events. This led to the development of a ‘responsive practice’ methodology, which reframed the installation process through an ethical lens developed from Emmanuel Levinas’ ethical phenomenology. The central propositions of this research are the reconceptualisation of ‘violent encounters’ in terms of difference whereby I accept viewers responses, even those which are violent, destructive or damaging, and secondly that the process operates as a generative excess for practice through which recuperative strategies can be found and implemented. By re-examining this process as it unfolded in the three phases of the practical component, I developed strategies whereby violated, destroyed or damaged works could be recuperated through the processes of reconfiguration, reparation and regeneration. Therefore my installations embody and articulate vulnerability but also demonstrate resilience and renewal.

Full textAbstract:
L’absence du dessin des histoires de l’art des années 1950-1960 interroge, alors même que des signes de reconnaissance de la part d’artistes comme Rauschenberg, Hesse, Tinguely,Twombly, Beuys, ou Lebel et d’autres acteurs ont pu être observés.Le dessin doit être défini à partir de ses opérations et compris dans sa relation aux autres médiums. Il est donc considéré comme pratique. En mettant en oeuvre une histoire matérielle, culturelle et sociale de l’art, qui s’appuie sur les dessins eux-mêmes, des documents d’archive et des entretiens avec des acteurs de la période, il s’agit de saisir les relations qui font vivre le dessin.Il s’agit d’appréhender la reconnaissance du dessin et sa redéfinition, entre les interrogations des artistes, les évolutions des critiques et les projets des galeristes et commissaires d’exposition pour montrer comment le dessin se comprend comme une réalité complexe, en acte. Le dessin se redéfinit également comme un moyen de manipuler des images qui deviennent pléthoriques. L’histoire de la psychiatrie confère à la pratique du dessin une valeur expérimentale rarement égalée dans l’histoire de l’art. Cette pratique expérimentale découle de son association à la pensée et met au jour une continuité insoupçonnée dans la période. Qu’il s’agisse d’en renforcer l’assimilation à une « origine de l’art », d’en faire la matrice d’un regard et d’une méthode artistique plus générale, ou le lieu marginal d’une expérience spécifique, la pratique du dessin se comprend dans un éventail large de ses réalitésDrawing is hardly studied in works of art history focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. This fact is all the more surprising that many artists, such as Rauschenberg, Hesse, Tinguely, Twombly, Michaux or Lebel, but also critics, gallerists and curators took notice of the medium at that time.Drawing must be defined according to its operations and analyzed in its relationshipwith other media. It is approached as a practice. This project is based on a material, culturaland social understanding of art history, it relies on the study of drawings, but also on archive documents and interviews with major figures of the period. From the working process of artists, to the changing discourses of critics and therenewed interest of curators and gallerists, drawing is redefined as a complex object. It allows artists to deal with the flow of images that characterizes the 1950s and 1960s. It also takes on an experimental quality because of its association to the thought process. Psychiatrists andartists have used the practice of drawing to better understand the mind. Whether it is used as an origin of art or as a marginal space implying specific experiences, drawing in the 1950sand 1960s is multi-faceted and is studied as such

Cette recherche a pour point de départ l’expérience pratique de l’atelier et propose une étude de la notion de répétition telle qu’elle émerge de différentes poétiques artistiques contemporaines.Des notions distinctes associées à la répétition sont évoquées par les travaux et la démarche spécifique des artistes, dans une recherche qui se construit de manière réflexive, au cours d’un va-et-vient entre l’oeuvre, la façon dont elle est élaborée, la perception qu’elle suscite et les textes consacrés à la poétique de chaque artiste.L’identification d’un univers particulièrement vaste, révélé par la répétition et retrouvé dans différentes démarches, dans différents moments, a orienté cette recherche vers la construction d’une structure bien articulée, et a concentré l’étude sur la poétique de quatre artistes : Mira Schendel, Richard Long, Eva Hesse et Nelson FélixThis research finds its starting point in the practical experience of the studio work and proposes a study of the notion ofrepetition such as it emerges from different contemporary artistical poetics.Different notions associated to repetition are evoked by the works and the specific approaches of the artists, through a research which builds itself in a reflexive way, during comings and goings between the work, the way it is elaborated, the perception which it arouses and texts dedicated to the poetics of each artist.The identification of a particularly vast universe, revealed by the repetition and found in various initiatives and in various moments, directed this work to the construction of a well articulated structure, and concentrated the glance on the poetics of four artists: Mira Schendel, Richard Long, Eva Hesse and Nelson Félix

Full textAbstract:
Master of Visual ArtsThis Dissertation explores the metaphor of Ariadne’s thread in terms of interconnection, when an element from the everyday is used as a locus linking broader concepts of time and space. Such experiences and associations are reflected in the work of Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Doris Salcedo, Lucio Fontana, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum, Simone Mangos, Anya Gallaccio and Yoshihiro Suda. In relation to my own work, the metaphor of interconnecting thread allows a sense of freedom and journey of discovery. My studio and related research are closely aligned in developing my understanding of interconnection, through my studio process of making and continuing experiences of looking at and interpreting others artists’ work.

Full textAbstract:
Research submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of
Master of Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, March 2017The creative component of the research project explores, through the medium of sculpture, the notion of the liminal, with a particular focus on themes of the absurd and the unstable as characteristics of liminality. These themes may be useful for investigating and providing a valuable source for critical assessment, so as to allow for the opening of and extending of debates on reading and thinking about art regarded as ‘in-between’ the poles of a binary opposition. Broadly, it seeks to explore the historical trajectory of the 1960s artist Eva Hesse in relation to these themes, and how it resonates with my own sculpture-making and development. The aim of the written research is, therefore, through engaging with a close critical and theoretically informed reading of selected examples of Hesse’s work, to identify themes and approaches which may inform and advance the understanding of my own work produced in the context of this study. Connections will be drawn to the way in which these themes facilitate a favourable space in which the making of art flourishes. As far as viewers are concerned, such work may encourage the viewer to be an active participant in a dimension of human experience potentially not yet encountered, thereby liberating viewers’ fixed and rigid perceptual constructs. Entering into a discussion of the themes of liminality, the absurd and unstable, serves this aim.

Full textAbstract:
The main concern of the present reflection is to explore and understand the limits of human existence and of the body itself, as well as its respective transgressions. Thus, in the first place, we intend to carry out an analysis of the limits that founded the human existence and of its moments of dissolution, in order to perceive what motivated the birth of art. Then, we will examine the issues related to the construction of human identity throughout the evolutionary process of the life cycle. The topic of this dissertation was inspired by the fact that we perceive the body as an opening, a space of unlimited expression in the creation of identity. In order to apply this way of understanding the body to different forms of artistic expression, we have selected some artists who have endeavored to convey to the observers an experience of bodily transgression. For this, we decided to decompose the body into parts, conducting an analysis that goes through the different body instances. This decomposition of the body is directly related to our artistic project, in which we investigate the most varied forms of representing it, but not in order to enclose it in a recognizable structure, rather with the aim of releasing it and this through the most varied plastic interpretations

Full textAbstract:
Tese de doutoramento, Belas-Artes (Escultura), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas-Artes, 2012Quando tudo se torna estético a própria noção de arte corre o risco de desaparecer. O facto de se privilegiar a imagem à custa de exercícios plástico-formais, de maior ou menor complexidade, tem conduzido a uma compreensão empobrecida do espaço construído, transformando o espaço social numa abstração fetichizada. Assim, debruçámo-nos, fundamentalmente, sobre a produção artística ao nível da escultura e da arquitetura, a partir de meados do séc. XX, de forma a compreender, de que modo os progressos tecnológicos que ocorreram, durante e após o período da 2ª grande guerra, tiveram uma influência determinante no processo conceptual de idealização da escultura e da arquitetura a partir de então. Para além disso, tomou-se como ponto de partida o movimento Minimalista, como o movimento artístico surgido durante a década de sessenta, que se afirmou por negar a arte cartesiana europeia, pela via fenomenológica e por contestar os limites disciplinares definidos pelo Modernismo. Neste campo indefinido, propício à pluralidade de linguagens e ao confronto de protagonismos, a emergência de uma estética “minimal” assumiu rapidamente um sentido disciplinador de contenção e economia visual. Uma espécie de estabilização canónica que traduziu uma prática escultórica e arquitetónica reconduzidas ao limite mínimo da sua expressão plástica.
When everything becomes aesthetic the concept of art itself becomes in danger of disappearing. The increasing focus on image, at the expense of plastic-formal exercises, of varying complexity, has led to an impoverished understanding of the built environment, transforming the space into a social fetishized abstraction. Thus, we focused primarily on the sculptural and architectural productions, from mid XXth century, in order to understand how the technological advances that took place during and after the period of the 2nd World War, had a decisive influence on the conceptual processes of idealization of sculpture and architecture since then, allowing an approximation of the two areas. The Minimalist movement, became a refernce to the contemporary art for its ability to deny the European Cartesian art throug fenomenology, besides it contested the Modernist limits of the arts and defended a new interdisciplinary way of understanding it. In this indefinite field, enabling the plurality of languages and the confrontation of protagonisms, the emergence of a "minimal" aesthetic quickly assumed a sense of discipline based in a restraint visual economy. A sort of stabilization canon that reflected a sculptural and architectural practice reduced to the minimum of its plastic expression.
