Full textThis PhD research relates to video essay as an artistic practice that evolves according with the knowledge and technical capacities in its time, keeping a critical approach to the dominant system. The review covers the period from 1989 up to now, when it has been an increase of video essay practices, and symbolically marks the beginning of globalization with the fall of the Berlin Wall. To set these relations, there is a definition of video essay, describing its characteristics and strategies to approach reality and how proposes alternative readings, which indicate a series of tensions between this practice and the dominant global system. Video essay is therefore a territory of aesthetic experimentation in terms of social and political concerns. Its strategies allow to be considered as a self reflexive practice, with a personal point of view using freely cinematographic language. In so doing, the author is rather a narrative entity, a subjective voice, framed in a discourse of enunciation and aesthetic, opening new perspectives and diverse critical distances. Video essay shows particular interest for theoretical inquiries by thinkers of globalization, specially the transformation of the space/time dyad which led to new regimes of temporality and the way of inhabiting the space, that give rise to new subjectivities and paradigms such as glocal or global city, the turn of concepts such centrality or border, as well as an intensification of mass migration and flows of information, which have resulted in a phenomena of hybridization. Being related with aesthetics of disruption, precariousness, otherness or fragility, video essay is more likely to be understood as purposeful political tools, as well as subversive, challenging the one-track thought. As a trigger for policy, video essay is an appropriate place for counter-hegemonic policy practices, capable of crossing lines of knowledge and philosophy. It is, then, rather than a rupture, a potential for change, a ‘possibility for’, since doesn´t move trough stable elements but unstable, doesn’t change anything but brings capacity for action. In that sense, often neither finishes, nor ends, nor even pinpoints, but remains in the interstices, in the liminal area, searching for new subjectivities and articulations.

Full textThe vast availability of materials for façade cladding provides countless interventions in urban landscaping. This research presents an analysis on the application of these materials in São Paulo\'s contemporary architecture and it is based on the theory and practice of the use of colors and the main objective os this study is color attributes, hue, luminosity, saturation and its relation with the urban scenery. With the starting point of concepts and color definitions, registered by scientists, philosophers and applied in arts and architecture, we make use of the teachings of Josef Albers (1888-1976) at Bauhaus, German art and design school, and the reflections of John Ruskin (1819-1900) on using colors through materials choice. The use of colors on façades is of great expression also in modern architecture, here represented by Le Corbusier (1887-1965) in the emblematic project of Marseille\'s Unité d\'Habitation. Following that we see the contemporary diversity in chromatic applications in buildings claddings, glasses façades in the Sauerbruch & Hutton project (1989-) and the natural tones of Herzog & de Meuron, used in the CaixaForum art center in Madrid. We researched the verticalization route in the city of São Paulo for diagnosing available materials which were used in different moments of São Paulo\'s borough\'s occupation by buildings, going towards the transformation of Vila Olímpia, when high-rises emerge and fill the streets which were previously small farms and industries; now they give way to commercial buildings, catering to real estate speculation. As a case study, the Rócio Street was chosen was a symbolic representative of São Paulo\'s contemporary architecture for having architecturally representative buildings in its lots and allowing us to perform a wide and diverse chromatic study of its façade materials.

This research is an invitation to the act of looking, or, in other words, to an intimate "action" towards such a different organic element called Blood, which can be either represented, or materialistically presented as a significant vehicle in the artwork at different times of Art History. Such evolution of Blood as a sthetic material will be done by analyzing the works of different artists such as: Pietro Lorenzetti, Mathias Grünewald, Annibale Carracci, Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi, Francisco Goya, Pedro Américo, Gustave Moreau Frida Kahlo and Candido Portinari. Hermann Nitsch, Ana Mendieta, Gina Pane, Chris Burden, Artur Barrio, Karin Lambrecht, Marc Quinn, Betina Sor, Vanessa Tiegs e Regina José Galindo are contemporary artists, most of them representative either of the so called Body Art or of other innovative styles born after the Second World War or of Vietnam War or after 1968 movements. Anyway, all of them have blood as a fundamental and meaningful element, and this is what will be focused in this work.

Full textA close examination of definitions, interpretations and contemporary approaches is provided in order to create a conceptual framework that reveals complex implications of the term. Four strategies for understanding the concept are offered: 'realms versus modes', definitions, a distillation of four positions relating to permanence, and an inquiry into contemporary issues relating to the concept. 'Absolute' and 'relative' realms illuminate a scope for permanence, and 'static' and 'dynamic' modes are discussed. A series of definitions are reviewed that reveal nuance in implications. An analysis of four essays on permanence is included, one from the beginning of the twentieth century and three from the end. This section reveals a series of conflicts relating to the way contemporary Western society uses and understands the term.
Permanence within architecture is widely associated with the Vitruvian definition of firmitas: mass and solidity crafted to endure eternally. Vitruvius' employment of 'permanence' is used as a grounding definition and a fundamental reference for the term's evolution into contemporary usage. In observing the endurance of the original Vitruvian term today, a disconnect becomes evident: absolutism in a society defined by relativity. This thesis argues for the critical significance of the term at a pivotal point in history in addressing the problem of disposable architecture on both a cultural and ecological level. Final open-ended questions are raised that consider staggering construction and demolition waste statistics, implying that permanence could play a significant role in effective responses to a global environmental crisis.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis I examine the extent to which interpretations of African material culture play a role in the creation and visualisation of an ‘African aesthetic style’ in South African contemporary jewellery practices. My investigation of an ‘African aesthetic style’ in this thesis is informed by the production, display and writings on African cultural objects. I demonstrate contemporary jewellery design to derive from a critical methodology, particularly as it facilitates a renegotiation of the relationship and dialogue between the producer and viewer of contemporary jewellery objects.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis ondersoek ek die wyse waarop interpretasies van Afrika materiële kultuur 'n rol speel in die skepping en die visualisering van 'n 'Afrika estetiese styl' in Suid- Afrikaanse kontemporêre juwelierspraktyke. My ondersoek van so 'n styl is ingelig deur die produksie en uitstalling van, sowel as diskoerse rondom Afrika kulturele objekte. Ek ondersoek kontemporêre juweliersontwerp as 'n kritiese metodologie, veral ten opsigte van die wyse waarop dit 'n nuwe verhouding tussen die vervaardiger en toeskouer van kontemporêre juweliersobjekte fasiliteer.

The translation of traditional building methods to modern construction techniques offers unexplored opportunities for material and form in architecture. Recent innovations in cellular ceramics married with traditional timbrel vaulting suggest a new approach to compressive form in structural masonry spans. Research into the history and construction of timbrel vaults and the material properties of cellular ceramic masonry shows that they are well-suited to one another. Building timbrel vaults with aerated autoclaved concrete (AAC) brings to architectural practice a new family of economically viable, expressive configurations of structural spans in masonry. The Catalan masonry technique, also referred to as timbrel or Guastavino vaulting, allows thin structural spans to be built without the use of supporting formwork. Once widely used in American construction, the technique is now little-known. This thesis documents the recent construction of two 11.3m (37') domes in England and structural research into building timbrel vaults with AAC tile. An artist's studio designed based on the information gained demonstrates the renewed feasibility of building expressive masonry structures. The techniques used to design and build structural masonry spans show that merging modern materials with traditional craft capitalizes on the significant strengths of each. These new buildings demonstrate the economic efficiency and formal viability of timbrel vaulting in contemporary architecture.

Full text''At the meeting of the work of Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, putting in space of a contemporary writing '' is the subject of this thesis which guided us in our various researches. Visual artist and former student of the Schools of Beaux Arts of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), and Marseille (France), our meeting with Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, the self-taught artist and inventor of a so-called purely African writing was the opportunity to question our artistic practice by analyzing its approach to creation. Through this research, it is a double homage to his person and his work. Indeed, it is in the objective of preserving the knowledge of his people the Bété, and of all people who do not have a writing he creates a syllabary made of pictograms. Starting from human sounds, different sounds, stories and legends in Bété countries, to produce graphic signs, was a process that motivated our research. It is for us in the questioning of our practice making in an abyss our paintings, by the passage from the illusionist space of the painting to a three-dimensional space. Noises, sounds, and syllables that are immaterial, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré has come to produce graphic signs of a new language. Inspired by this approach, we deconstruct the pictorial work to extract its constituents which are put in space to translate this desire to make different techniques coexist.painting, writing, sculpture, and installation

The purpose of this study is to analyze a research experience involving a group of visually impaired people in an inclusion process through contemporary art, with emphasis on these students learning process. In order to achieve this purpose, data from the Oficina de Arte: reflexões contemporâneas ( Art Workshop: contemporary reflections ) were collected and analyzed. a total of eight people participated in the ten meetings of this three-month workshop. This analysis is the result of reflections that came up during the period as an undergraduate student in a university extension project with a visually impaired group of people. This project entailed some mediation in an art museum, where it was possible to verify the non-presence of this audience in such places. To carry this study, a participative research of qualitative nature was applied. Therefore, data collected from the subjects researched; an investigation of contemporary art and its materials, poetics, contexts and works accessible to the visually impaired, and a pedagogical approach were all taken into consideration. The basic tools and materials used in contemporary art were adapted and analyzed as knowledge mediators in the workshop. For the investigation of the accessibility and inclusion of this audience, the participation of sighted people was requested in the same workshop. Thus, it was possible to establish relationships in the investigation with what concerns the learning process through contemporary art. This data analysis verified the following aspects: visually impaired people are able to appreciate contemporary art through multisensory learning and artwork that requires little or no adaptation; the inclusion may take place in art classes in formal and non-formal learning, with approaches that engage both visually impaired and sighted people
O objeto deste estudo é a análise de uma experiência de pesquisa com público com deficiência visual e sua inclusão por meio da arte contemporânea, com foco nas aprendizagens realizadas pelos estudantes. Foram, para tanto, coletados e analisados dados a partir da Oficina de Arte: reflexões contemporâneas , que contou com a participação de oito pessoas, em dez encontros, em um período de três meses. O presente estudo originou-se de inquietações surgidas no período de estudante de licenciatura e no trabalho em extensão universitária em um projeto com público deficiente visual, no qual ocorreram mediações em um museu de arte, possibilitando constatar a não frequência deste público nestes espaços. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo adotou-se a pesquisa participante, de natureza qualitativa. Assim sendo, organizaram-se os dados a partir do contexto dos pesquisados; investigou-se a arte contemporânea, seus materiais, poéticas, contextos e propostas que fossem acessíveis ao público com deficiência visual; teve-se como foco uma abordagem pedagógica em Arte. Os objetos do cotidiano presente na arte contemporânea foram adaptados e analisados, como mediadores de conhecimentos na oficina. Para que a acessibilidade e inclusão deste público fossem investigadas, na oficina de coleta de dados, optou-se pela participação de pessoas videntes, também. O que permitiu, estabelecer relações, no que diz respeito as aprendizagens por meio da arte contemporânea. Na análise de dados constatou-se, entre outros resultados, que os deficientes visuais podem conhecer a arte contemporânea por meio de aprendizagens multissensoriais e obras que necessitem de pouca ou nenhuma adaptação; que a inclusão pode acontecer nas aulas de Arte no ensino formal e não formal, utilizando-se abordagens que envolvam tanto os deficientes visuais quanto os videntes

Full textJudging from the market growth of African-style designs, including beadwork, it is clear that beadwork continues to recur in contemporary fashion, both locally and internationally. This thesis addresses the role traditional South African beadwork plays in contemporary fashion, in an attempt to determine its impact on fashion trends over time. It explores the history of beadwork in South Africa: its development from the pre-colonial era, under colonial rule, and during apartheid. The beadwork of the Ndebele, Zulu and Xhosa are looked at specifically, since beadwork forms a vibrant part of their cultures. The research examines the history of South African beads, as far back as 75 000 years ago, when beads were first made, used and traded. This research is underpinned by the way in which beads contribute to a cultural identity in society. The research considers how South Africa's colonial and apartheid past inhibited the development of beadwork in South African fashion. This thesis describes the process and dynamics of traditional beadwork in contemporary fashion; the way in which beadwork has been infused into fashion; and the reasons for these trends. It also investigates the way in which African designs, patterns, colours and techniques began to playa role in negotiating fashion designers' identities during the African renaissance and at present.

Full textThis Ph.D. dissertation examines the evolution of the theatrical performance – in its most immediately contemporary state – in light of the mutations engendered by a variety of inter-artistic, intermediary and interdisciplinary exchanges. The study is founded on the analysis of a corpus of recent productions that effectuate a conscious re-centering of their own dispositif: namely through establishing a multi-media and spatially-installed material layout. Often immersive, these productions provoke an individualized aesthetic experience in the spectator, materializing in different kinds of physical activation, participation, or direct involvement. By tropism, these creations are frequently designated as "dispositifs", a term that is often applied when the theatrical specificities of a production are displaced, especially after having undergone multiple hybridations. The dissertation proceeds in a double trajectory. First, it distinguishes different uses of "dispositif" in theatrical discourses, which translates on multiple levels into placing the theatrical apparatus under question – much in contrast to theater as a frame of reference. In parallel, the study examines what at the heart of these creative practices actually constructs "dispositif", thus observing the articulation between material organization and aesthetic experience that occurs during the course of the theater event. Mixing the study of discourses and aesthetic approaches, this dissertation considers the dispositif as a dynamic of variation and as the sign of a theoretical repositioning, focusing on the relational positions highlighted in the art work by these different artistic propositions
