Yan, Keyu. "Modernizing Sculpture: Print Culture and the New Discourse on Sculpture in China, circa 1880–1929." East Asian Publishing and Society 13, no. 2 (September 8, 2023): 133–69. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/22106286-12341378.

Abstract Much of the current scholarship on the art of China in the 1910s and 1920s focuses on artworks, art academies, and art groups that were associated either with traditional Chinese painting (guohua 國畫) or with oil painting (youhua 油畫). By contrast, other mediums such as sculpture have rarely been discussed by scholars of modern Chinese art. Similar to guohua, the association of which with lofty literati values and imperial eras was hotly debated at the beginning of the Republic of China (1912–1949), the art of sculpture – a category that has long been considered as funerary art, craft, or decorative art – and its relevance to modern China was also discussed by artists and intellectuals at that time. In early twentieth-century China, sculpture eventually gained a new status within the fine arts. This article argues that one important factor that promoted the changing perception of sculpture in the public sphere was the blossoming print culture and its connections with photography and exhibitions in Republican China. Print materials such as newspapers, newspaper supplements, pictorial magazines, and exhibition catalogs/pamphlets promoted the process of modernizing sculpture.

Since the end of the 20th century, museum institutions have been adopting the logic of communication, promotion, and administration typical of cultural industries, mainly Cinema. In 1994, Andreas Huyssen argued that the museum, as an elitist place of preservation of canon and high culture, gave way to the museum as a mass medium. Cinema became the paradigm of contemporary cultural activities whose new exhibition practices respond to the changing expectations of the public and their constant search for stellar events.Since the end of the 20th century, museum institutions have been adopting the logic of communication, promotion, and administration typical of cultural industries, mainly Cinema.

Cinema became the paradigm of contemporary cultural activities whose new exhibition practices respond to the changing expectations of the public and their constant search for stellar events. This process is evident in the increasing use of banners, marquees, and all manner of resources aimed at promoting the temporary exhibitions gaining their place as the main attractions of art museums. Moreover, with the advent of social media, the phenomenon of cinefication of the museum has accelerated. Exhibitions are now titled, conceived, promoted, and distributed as films, while artists, adorned by the figure of the genius, are presented as parts of the art history star system. In order to highlight this phenomenon, we present an analysis of the programming and promotion of temporary exhibitions at Tate Modern, the paradigm of 21st-century museums. This institution not only titles its exhibitions in a cinematographic manner but also produces trailers and posts them on its website and social media. Our work focuses on one exhibition in particular: Picasso 1932, Love, Fame, Tragedy. To this end we observed both the curatorial discourse and the communication strategies applied by Tate. This paper is part of a research project that includes MoMA, Malba, Centre Pompidou, and Reina Sofia. The study of this phenomenon will provide an overview of the epochal style of modern art museums in the conception and communication of modern and contemporary art exhibitions.

Full textAbstract:
Within the framework of rich and diverse activities of museums, which include exhibitions, publishing, educational and conservation / restoration activities, a special place is given to international cooperation programs which, if well designed, can play an important role in the cultural diplomacy system of each country. In the process of transformation from a traditional to a modern museum of the 21st century, the Gallery of Matica Srpska has directed an important part of its activities towards international cooperation and thus cultural diplomacy. These activities are realized through hosting of exhibitions of foreign institutions, visiting exhibitions of the Gallery in European museums, organization of joint exhibitions with museums in the region, cooperation with foreign cultural centers and through protocol visits. Well-designed themes and programs that promote national art, connections with other cultures and the culture of other nations, museum activities - exhibitions and publications - become an important tool for better international relations and a foundation for active cooperation among museum institutions throughout Europe.

Full textAbstract:
In the past century, China has experienced significant cultural and societal transformations, transitioning from a culturally isolated and largely illiterate nation to one that is actively developing alongside the rest of the world and presents a unique blend of cultural tradition and modern civilization. Over the years China has seen several generations of sculptors who have been both actively and passively influenced by various schools of sculpture and ideas from France, the Soviet Union, Europe, and the US. In other words, the development of contemporary Chinese sculpture is closely tied to the ideological and cultural progress of China in the 20th century, resulting in a unique and distinctive presence within the global art scene in the 21st century. Unlike other cultural fields, Chinese contemporary sculpture has expanded beyond the boundaries of the art world and the academy. It not only focuses on developing a realistic sculpture system but also incorporates Western contemporary art concepts into its creative process while preserving traditional Chinese sculpture. Contemporary sculpture is currently being developed in a balanced manner through various mainstream routes, including the realistic art tradition of the West, the contemporary art concepts of Europe and America, and the Chinese cultural codes. The formation of this situation has complex reasons, which can be attributed to the multiple changes in the development route of Chinese sculpture throughout the 20th century. This has resulted in several trends of contemporary Chinese sculpture and culture. Additionally, the development trends of Chinese culture throughout the 20th century, as well as the semi-planned and semi-market-oriented economic system implemented in China after the Reform era, have also contributed to this situation. This article provides an overview of the overall development context, explores the issue of the delayed development of contemporary Chinese sculpture, and reviews sculpture genres and styles, offering insights into the formation and genesis of contemporary Chinese sculpture.

After the 1683 Siege of Vienna, an anti-Islamic inscription and sculpture – possibly representing the head of Muhammad – were affixed onto the tower of St. Stephen’s cathedral in Vienna. In the 21st century, this story highlights the difficulties that arise when the collective memory of the former Catholic empire or nation collides with human rights norms of the modern constitutional republic as well with the norms of religious dialogue in the Catholic Church.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Great Cultural Projects (GCPs) as an element of the developmental process of cities. For this study, GCPs are regarded as a global phenomenon rather than cases that must be analyzed independently. The study focused on four types of GCPs: world and international exhibitions, horticultural exhibitions, Olympic Games, and the European Capitals of Culture. The research sample comprised 183 GCPs globally, organized between the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. The study analyzed the influence of different GCPs on city structure and urban heritage and focused on the distinctive development of each GCP type. The study’s novelty lies in recognition of the four main types of GCPs’ potential for multidimensional urban development and their diversified impact on the transformation of modern cities, along with the identification of potential threats, benefits, and development opportunities related to different GCP types.

Full textAbstract:
Entertainment culture becomes a structural and typological unit of festive/everyday culture, which uses it every day in the “loop” mode: television show programs, presentations of new boutiques in shopping centers, city fairs, art exhibitions, performances at concert venues, calendars with the slogan “Every day is a holiday”, computer games (as the advertisement says, “The best anti-stress game of all time!”), and so on. Certainly, in this entertainment cycle, a person’s acute perception of festivity becomes dulled, and fatigue from constant heightened emotionality appears. A person gets tired of both entertainment and games. In this sense, “Homo ludens” is not just a concept, but a problem identified and outlined by J. Huizinga, which became obvious in the 20s of the 21st century. The article examines the features of modern culture as a screen, visual culture, directly related to such an attribute as entertainment.

Full textAbstract:
Topical issues of the development of environmental technologies and it’s application in contemporary art have been explored, with particular emphasis on sculptural practices and land-art objects. In fact, it has been found that the Ukrainian scientists have addressed rather indirectly to the problem of environmental trends in the context of contemporary art objects. It should be noted that the vast majority of research is limited to the generic characteristics of eco-design and does not focus on the artistic and stylistic features of this phenomenon in general and in art in particular. The historical aspect of the interconnections of scientific and technological progress, exacerbation of environmental issues and the evolution of artistic practices of twentieth century art is revealed. It was found out that these processes were consonant and synthesized. Representative contemporary art projects that can be attributed to environmental art were outlined, their characteristic artistic features were clarified and the main directions of eco-art were determined. The influence of the latest technologies on enhanced dynamics and the adoption of eco-style as a kind of counteraction to the processes of digitalization of modern culture as a whole are analyzed. In particular, it has been traced how environmental technologies are used today in three-dimensional art objects, and how well-known artists work with the most actual issues of the 21st century. Two main vectors of eco-sculpture have been identified: complex objects using technology and land-art projects, which are mainly focused on philosophical concepts and issues of human harmony with nature. However, it has been proved that these two areas are of equal value and extremely relevant in the dynamic artistic processes of today, and also have considerable potential and prospects for further development in view of the increasing aggravation of environmental problems in the modern world.

Full textAbstract:
In the second half of the 20th century, important changes took place in the relationship between the museum world and society, which led to appearance of new approaches in museum theory and practice. First of all, they affected the principles of interaction between museums and their audience. The evolve-ment of communication approach to museology, where a visitor is considered the main figure in mu-seum activity, dates back to this time. The peculiari-ties of museum audience behaviour were studied from the beginning of the 20th century. The exposi-tion is the main channel of communication between a museum and its visitors, therefore, the use of modern technical means that allow an objective as-sessment of the quality of such communication is a priority when studying the museum audience. Due to the development of technical progress by the beginning of the 21st century there is a possibility of using technological methods of qualitative and quantitative recording and analytics of main indica-tors of interrelation between museums and their target audience. The present research considers new technical means of studying specific features inher-ent to visitors behaviour at exhibitions (tracking, eye tracking, video analytics). Such studies have been carried out in some of Russian museums in recent years.

The State Tretyakov Gallery hosts a significant exhibition “Laboratory of the Future. Kinetic Art in Russia”. Its significance, the influence of the artistic phenomenon of kinetic art itself on domestic art of the 20th and 21st centuries has not yet been fully determined. The exhibition emphasizes kinetic art as one of the central national trends in experimental artistic creativity of the 20th century, even as some kind of a tradition. On the one hand, the exhibition would have been impossible without the participation of the creators of the Russian avant-garde, the founders of abstract art, the creators of the first abstract sculptures and dynamic structures: V. V. Kandinsky, K.S. Malevich, El Lissitzky, V. E. Tatlin, A. M. .Rodchenko. On the other hand, recognized masters, inventors of kinetic art in the USSR in the 1960s and 1970s, creators of the synthetic works of art combining the sound, color, form, images and motion are also important: Lev Nusberg’s “Group Movement” in Moscow and “KB Prometheus” under the leadership of Bulat Galeev in Kazan, the first kinetic construction at the USSR Exhibition of Economic Achievements Francisco Infante and the dynamic installation “Atom” by Vyacheslav Koleichuk, experiments with electronic sound and acoustics of the Experimental Studio of Electronic Music of Evgeny Murzin, the Theremen Center, created by Andrei Smirnov, space projects by Vyacheslav Loktev installations with light and sound in Leningrad by August Lanin 1. One of the key figures in this artistic process was the architect, designer, researcher, inventor, constructor and teacher Vyacheslav Fomich Koleichuk (1941–2018). This imaginary dialogue is covering some of the inventions of the artist, developing the traditions of Russian kinetic art, expanding the artistic space of modern design and architecture 2.

Traced the desire of star artists from France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Russia, different generations and with fundamentally different worldview foundations of creativity, in recent decades to include antique motifs in their imaginative programs; moreover, making them the translators of individual artistic expressions reflecting socio-cultural reception. The portrayal of ancient images, on different aesthetic and worldview bases, are present in the experimental works of the modernism, in the postmodernism (which became a reflection of the collapse of the whole picture of the world observed in modern psychology, philosophy, history), are a means of actualization gender issues, the problems of the LDF community, a reflection of glamorous aesthetics, arise in examples of street art and arte-pover, elite and mass culture, etc. For the first time in many centuries, «antique» sculptures appear at city crossroads and squares, bearing signs of the formal vocabulary of new trends. Over the past more than half a century, the individual statements of artists, in an attempt to remain in the field of polemical discourse, in an effort to expand the boundaries of the norm, including the recently approved ones, took place within the framework of large-scale (it is important to be aware) conceptual projects, thematically completely based on the interpretation of the images of Antiquity, which takes place for the first time in the history of exhibition practice. Moreover, these projects sometimes seem to be milestones in the development of contemporary art

The subject of research is an artistic practice of V. A. Sergin, a national artist of Russia, a full member of the Petrovskiy Academy of Sciences and Arts, an academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, a participant in more than 180 exhibitions, including 25 national and international projects, more than 20 personal exhibitions. The paper explores artist’s creative biography in the context of Russian and Siberian traditions and analyzes bright stages of the formation and flowering of the “Siberian school” of Russia, the Krasnoyarsk organization of the Union of Artists, with regional, regional, personal exhibitions and specific works of Sergin highlighted. The author addresses artistic originality of the national tradition of the Siberian region, allowing to holistically present a wide panorama of the development of the Siberian and Russian schools. The paper consistently attempts to discover the artist’s creative laboratory and to identify the “formula” of his inspiration. The basis of the study is a set of principles and techniques of work that have been carried out in practice by the artist from the late 1950s to the present day, and takes into account the creative work of V. A. Sergin, which solves specifically pictorial issues. The creative strategy of modern artist is perceived as a universal cultural environment, a territory for the formation of artistic meanings. The creative environment in the workshop, in the open air and during travels creates the conditions for implementing the art program and reveals those processes that help demonstrate and provide the continuity of artistic traditions.

In the past few years, several new publications and exhibitions have presented surveys of the genre of artists’ magazines. This recent research has explored the publication histories of individual titles and articulated the significance of this genre within contemporary art history. Millennium magazines was a 2012 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art that traced the artists’ magazine into the 21st century. The organizers, Rachael Morrison and David Senior of MoMA Library, assembled a selection of 115 international tides published since 2000 for visitors to browse during the run of the exhibition and created a website as a continuing resource for information about the selected tides. The exhibition served as an introduction to the medium for new audiences and a summary of the active community of international artists, designers and publishers that still utilize the format in innovative ways. As these projects experiment with both print and digital media in their production and distribution of content, art libraries are faced with new challenges in digital preservation in order to continue to document experimental publishing practices in contemporary art and design.

History of development of Chinese jade carving art is dating back some 8000 years into Neolithic period The development of the ideas of Chinese jade carving, the change of their external forms, reflects the close relationships between reality (the objective world) and the inner world of man. The difference between contemporary and traditional jade carvings lies in the artist’s conscious desire to convey and disseminate his own worldview in society. The purpose of contemporary jade carving does not stop at the description of the traditional image and form by the artist, but also, through embodiment in form, tries to reveal an individual aesthetic perception. Jade carved works, possessing symbolic meaning, have a significant impact on the complex interaction between material and spiritual world of the artist; having a deep, symbolic meaning, these works affect the feelings and spirit of people as well. Tsiu Tsitsing (born in 1979) is the most famous and influential jade sculptor in contemporary China from the end of the 20th century and at the start of the 21st century, his jade articles have a distinct personal style, are original and modern. His works not only contain the thoughts and concepts of Buddhism (Zen-Buddhism), Taoism (Lao-Zhuang philosophy), and Confucianism (literary view) in traditional Chinese culture, but also integrate the concepts and formal language of Western modern art. As the most representative type of his (Tsiu Tsitsing) extensive oeuvre of sculptures, the series of jade carvings of " faceless Buddha" contain profound cultural information. The creative subject by inventing new system of symbolic language creates a new world of jade carving. At the same time, the creative subject re-examines the possibility of the current integration of Chinese traditional culture and Western modern art with the help of this symbol system.

The article presents the possibilities of using digital games in the process of professional training of social educators. It was found that for the development of digital game-centered learning it is necessary to combine the efforts of public, private, charitable and public institutions and organizations that prepare for game design, training, organize exhibitions, competitions, festivals, which is the main direction of modern education as an important component. Competencies of the 21st century were talked about. It is determined that the use of computer games enhances the freedom of experiment, identity and social rewards, deepens personal experience by developing three basic needs for training motivation: competence (student feels the process of acquiring new knowledge and skills); autonomy (the student feels control over the educational process); interconnectedness (the student feels the connection with colleagues during the educational process). It is proved that the use of digital games in the professional training of social educators is an innovative and promising vector for the modernization of the educational process in modern higher education institutions as a whole.

This article investigates labor through the interpretation of modern artistic practices. Two exhibitions have been chosen as examples. The first one is the exhibition of Vladimir Arkhipov's collection of folk things; the second one is “Gastev. How to Work'' dedicated to Alexey Gastev. The exhibitions were held at the PERMM Museum of Contemporary Art in 2021. The author conducts a comparative cross-temporal study of the results of labor and the labor process focusing on the phenomenon of a folk thing investigated by artist Vladimir Arkhipov for more than two decades and idealistic reference ideas of scientifically regulated labor norms and standards developed by Alexei Gastev and the Central Institute of Labor in the 1920s. The comparative study will rely on the paradigms of re-thinking the labor in the mid-20th and early 21st centuries by scientists such as A. Honneth, Z. Bauman, M. Heidegger, G. Standing, and H. Arendt and the contemporary philosophical research on the issue of ontologies, namely the flat ones, undertaken by B. Latour and T. Morton. The methods designed during the evolution of the theoretical representation and understanding of labor in the second half of the 19th century and at the end of the 20th century allow for tracing and exploring the path from the forced labor to the free one focusing on artistic practices. This comparison will refer to the analysis of labor as a process. Contemporary approaches in the field of ontology, namely the flat ontology, have been used as a methodology for analyzing the transformation of perceiving the labor outcomes. Both the labor process and its results have been analyzed along the trajectory of the subject-object relations. The paper proposes a definition of the perception and product of labor under the modern socio-economic and sociopolitical conditions through the prism of artistic ideas.

Full textAbstract:
Right from its opening in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) recreated modern art as a new myth that was rescued from European history and thus became accessible as an independent value for an American audience. Paradoxically, the myth stemmed from the opinion that modern art’s history seemed to have expired in pre-war Europe. Upon MoMA’s completion of a major expansion project in 2004, there was considerable anticipation about how the museum would represent its own history and raise its profile in a new century. As it turned out, the museum opted for a surprisingly retrospective look, since its curators were tempted to exhibit its own collection, so unique up until the sixties, in the new exhibition halls. This launched a dilemma for MoMA, as it became a place for past art with little space for new art. In an in-depth analysis of what constitutes “modern” art in the context of the preeminent questions circulating in the art world during this time—When was modern art? and Where was modern art?—the author presents a focused chronology of the administration of MoMA under the museum’s first director, Alfred Hamilton Barr Jr. (1929–43), and, later, William Rubin, director of the Department of Painting and Sculpture (1968–88), with regard to their influence on the museum’s mission, exhibitions, and international profile. The author concludes with commentary on contemporary changes in art geography and contemplation on the effect on artists of the emergence of a global art market.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents the concept of an “open work” (according to the idea of Umberto Eco) as a meaningfully undefined, and even non-finito work, which appeared in the artistic practice of the 20th century, at the time of revolutionary and military disasters. The events of the early 20th century in the social, psychological, and artistic consciousness of the leading avant-garde figures caused emotional and psychological shifts and contributed to the emergence of new ways of artistic expression. In art, works with different vector characteristics emerged: palimpsest, simulacrum, deconstruction, etc. Since then, the nature of general development of art became that of a rhizome. Similar principles of artistic thinking were predicted by H. Wölfflin in art (19th century) and in the aesthetics by A. Schopenhauer, F. Nietzsche, A. Bergson, and other philosophers of the early 20th century. The aesthetic concept of an “open work” and its special poetics reoriented the European art critics’ opinions regarding the analysis of modern artistic practice. Art studies focused on the artistic form in the very process of its formation (incompleteness). The process of forming an artistic work became the subject of meticulous analysis as something that is interesting to the modern viewer, who is a “synergistic person.” In the context of the poetics of an “open work,” the paper highlights the significance of the avant-garde discoveries of Oleksandr Arkhipenko as a pioneer of world modern sculpture. The connection of his philosophical and plastic thinking with dynamic social and scientific shifts in the life of mankind, with the “physics of space” of Albert Einstein, is visualized. The revolutionary role of caesuras (voids) in the volumes of Archipenko sculpture is defined. Under the angle of the concept of an “open work,” the article visualizes new forms of dialogue between modernists of the 21st century, in particular, Ukrainian artists and their recipients. The analysis of the works of modern Ukrainian artists (O. Zhyvotkov, O. Dzhuraeva, I. Grechanyk) illustrates the practical use of an “open form” as a modern practice in the time of psychological tension and uncertainty, in the state of stressful situations of the 2022–2024 war in Ukraine. “Staying before nothingness” (K. Jaspers’s expression), life on the threshold of existence caused irrationalism and “poetics of incompleteness” in the works of the mentioned artists. It was important to determine such a substantial characteristic of the work as ambiguity in its perception and reading. The paper reveals the psychological and plastic foundations of the authors’ artistic thinking when producing an “open work.” The productivity of a certain artistic paradigm is proven.

In 2024, the 300th anniversary of Immanuel Kant will be celebrated. The Kant society of Germany has already announced the decision to hold the anniversary Kant Congress in Kaliningrad. The jubilee Kantiana brings with it the possibility of promoting not only scientific and pedagogical issues, but also has significant chances of becoming an event that will positively affect the international image of various Russian cities and universities. In connection with future events, the interpretation of the legacies of the great philosopher of the Enlightenment in university audiences of the 21st century is of particular relevance. The author of the article puts forward a new methodological and methodological hypothesis. Presentation of Kant for a modern student audience fits into the chronotope: past-everyday life-future. This matrix affects not only the construction of lectures and seminars within the university. This also refers to the creation of new urban images and communicative spaces: theatrical productions, world exhibitions, city holidays. The author widely quotes famous directors who created actual daily life in their performances or city projects. Our contemporary Shakespeare, Our contemporary Kant these are the conditions of modern culture. A similar actualization is seen in innovative educational and methodological texts, in the so-called Kantian, on the website of the Kant Baltic Federal University. The article also presents another thematic turn, relevant for modern students of a medical university, in which the author of the article directly teaches. The article claims that Kants interpretations of consciousness; space-time; transcendence and transcendence up to certain boundaries diverge from the concepts of modern physiologists and psychiatrists, which does not remove the significance and evidentiary power of the great philosopher of the Enlightenment. Based on the above, the following conclusions are formulated in the article: the modern Kantiana contains a variety of scientific heritage and is rooted in everyday culture. Kants legacy is used in university lectures, seminars, and websites, which does not remove the inevitability of expanding the urban Kantian. The strategies of the universities of the 21st century require the actualization of the past and relations with the future of the city. Under these conditions, the anniversary of the great German philosopher I. Kant in the Russian city of Kaliningrad can become another platform for intercultural communication with students from different cities and countries.

The text aims to explore the political, cultural and artistic implications of LGBTQ+ art and curatorial practices in Central Eastern Europe in the 21st century. Currently, queer exhibitions, are on the rise in post-communist Europe, especially those held in contemporary art centres and museums. They cast light on new queer art and activism and the volatile sexual politics in the region because of the significant increase in the number of artists working with LGBTQ themes and the topical political background of this movement and its impact on cultural debates. Curators are developing innovative perspectives on sexual, social and artistic dimensions of queer exhibitions in this geographic context still seriously affected by homophobic state policy. The objective is to feature three art shows of major queer artists which have been organised in Hungary, Poland and Estonia in the last decade. The exhibitions are: The Survivor’s Shade: The Life and Work of El Kazovsky at the Museum of Fine Art- Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest in 2015/16; Daniel Rycharski: Fears at the Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw in 2019 and Jaanus Samma. Not Suitable for Work. A Chairman’s Tale, Museum of Occupations and Freedom, Tallinn in 2016. The three artists and their exhibitions have been selected because they were organised by major cultural institutions in the capitals, they have achieved a significant social impact and huge audience and the artists have played an important role in the contemporary art scene in each country. Their work is a current manifestation of the queer artistic and intellectual culture that has been developing slowly in the region since the 1980s and has come to play an increasingly important role in recent years. The exhibitions and art of the three artists are a starting point for a broader outline of the themes and important figures in recent queer art in Central Eastern Europe (CEE). Moreover, in each case, they appear in a complex and difficult political context related to the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. Hence, I would like to propose a thesis about the dissident power and status of queer art and curating in CEE.

Abstract: This paper examines Chinese imagery of smokestacks both as a concrete object and an abstract concept emerging from early futurist eulogy to modernist allergy, and from Maoist propaganda to post-Fifth Generation environmental reflections. In the Republican era, writers from the Creation Society eulogize the smokes of steamboat smokestacks as beautified symbols of modern civilization. Yet members from the Beijing School convey their concerns about the Janus face of industrialization and environmental impairments (towering smokestacks as the target). After 1949, smokestacks are eulogized as an icon of socialist industrialization and pervade cinematic productions, literary imaginations, and artistic exhibitions. Since the 1980s, smokestacks have been gradually understood as vestiges of problematic socialist practice. The growing ecological deterioration in the 21st century propels public intellectuals and film directors to expose industrial pollution and to invoke environmental protection. Yet another type of representation arises in the post-Fifth Generation films, where smokestacks are visualized as a token of the “insulted and injured” working class, individual discovery, and collective sentiment worn out by the post Mao-Deng global developmentalism and social injustice. The metamorphoses of smokestacks in literary, cinematic, and artistic imaginations envision and exhibit the structural transformation of modern Chinese environmental and ecological consciousness.

Исследование призвано выявить художественно-композиционные особенности, характер формообразования и стилизации анималистических образов из наследия заслуженного художника России Владимира Савельевича Васькина (1941–2022). Впервые введены в научный оборот его неопубликованные произведения из собрания Национального музея Республики Калмыкия и частных коллекций, использованы результаты искусствоведческих исследований. Проанализировано решение художником анималистических композиций и образов, определены истоки его интереса к изображениям животных, значение анималистических сюжетов, иллюстрирующих национальный эпос «Джангар», выявлены смысловые составляющие произведений. Раскрыта хронология трансформации жанра анималистики в работах мастера – от повествовательных натурных зарисовок животных до мифопоэтических произведений. Сделан вывод, что творчество В. С. Васькина обусловлено его этническим самосознанием, сформировано на фольклорных традициях калмыков и буддийском мировоззрении. The study aims to reveal the artistic and compositional features, the nature of the formation and stylization of animalistic images from the heritage of the Honored Artist of Russia Vladimir Savelyevich Vaskin (1941–2022). This master is a representative of the fine arts of Kalmykia, one of the regions of the South of Russia. For the first time, his unpublished works from the collection of the National Museum of the Republic of Kalmykia and private collections were introduced into scholarly discourse, and the results of art studies by Russian researchers were used. The author applied comparative, historical-cultural and formal-stylistic methods for analyzing works of art, as well as some methods used in historiographic research. The artist’s works exhibited at solo exhibitions (2011, 2016, and 2021) at the National Museum of the Republic of Kalmykia (Elista) are analyzed in chronological order starting from the late 1960s until the beginning of the twenty-first century. The author reveals little-known facts from the artist’s biography, describes and comprehends the master’s personal aesthetic and emotional motives for creating easel and monumental works. For the first time, the author analyzes the origins of Vaskin’s interest in images of animals, the theme of animalistic plots illustrating the national epic Jangar. She also determines the semantic component of Vaskin’s compositions, where the meaning of animalistic images both in sculpture and in graphics is inextricably linked with Kalmyk oral folk art, and gives the chronology of the change in the form and content of animalistic works from nature sketches of animals to mythopoetic works. In the process of studying graphics, easel sculpture, monuments, plastics of small forms by Vaskin, the artist’s methods and ways of creating works in various techniques and materials are revealed. The author has established that the transformation of the direction of the artistic language of Vaskin’s works from the first years of his creative activities to the beginning of the 21st century occurs along the trajectory: realism – decorativism – parable. The author concludes that the animalier art of Vladimir Vaskin occupies a significant place in his works, due to the ethnic identity of the master, formed on the folklore traditions of the Kalmyks, in which humans and animals were identified with each other. The author also notes that the Buddhist worldview is an important element of the artist’s sculptural works.

The ‘National Collections of Contemporary Art’ Programme run by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (MKiDN) in 2011–2019 constituted the most important since 1989 financing scheme for purchasing works of contemporary art to create and develop museum collections. Almost PLN 57 million from the MKiDN budget were allocated by means of a competition to purchasing works for such institutions as the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (MSN), Museum of Art in Lodz (MSŁ), Wroclaw Contemporary Museum (MNW), Museum of Contemporary Art in Cracow (MOCAK), or the Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko (CRP). The programme in question and the one called ‘Signs of the Times’ that had preceded it were to fulfil the following overall goal: to create and develop contemporary art collections meant for the already existing museums in Poland, but particularly for newly-established autonomous museums of the 20th and 21st century. The analysis of respective editions of the programmes and financing of museums as part of their implementation confirms that the genuine purpose of the Ministry’s ‘National Contemporary Art Collections’ Programme has been fulfilled.

Full textAbstract:
In the 21st century, rural population in Russia as a whole continues to decline. However, different levels of urbanization and different rates of its change across regions indicate the heterogeneity of processes and the influence of many factors. The main trends are completion of the withering away of the traditional rural lifestyle, mixing urban and rural lifestyles in the suburbs with predominance of the former (summer cottages, cottages), gravitation of rural economic activity towards the zones of influence of agglomerations, development of an economic base not related to agriculture: seasonal work, tourism and recreation, traditional crafts, remote work, creative projects. Technological progress, development of means of online dissemination of technologies and know-how, withdrawal of industrial production from large cities and their miniaturization allow us to discuss the prospects for development of industries in rural areas that satisfy a significant part of the local demand for consumer goods and the need for certain types of equipment. The course towards a reasonable regional economic autonomy will allow increasing the proportion of local agricultural products in the regional diet, which also requires development of cooperation of small agricultural producers and diversification of sales channels. To ensure competitiveness of rural areas as a habitat in relation to cities, it is necessary to ensure connectivity of those areas with central localities and provision of modern infrastructure, amenities, access to education, healthcare and high culture. This can be facilitated by modern solutions that are currently at varying degrees of implementation in different countries of the world (such as distance forms of education, healthcare, exhibitions, performances; crowdfunding projects) and by the solutions from the recent past that have not found sufficient implementation (for example, local aviation, regional tours of artists and performers).

Exhibition activity in Ukraine is becoming important. Exhibitions as a factor of scientific, technical and cultural progress in modern conditions contribute improving the efficiency and quality of production, the development of economic relations and international cooperation. The object of the article is to define the concept of exhibition design as a particular aspect of art-design activity, its role and functions in the information and communication space of the modern design culture of Ukraine. The problem of exhibition design is relevant in modern art history. Researchers suppose that at a certain stage people began to use objects and the environment as tools to satisfy an instinctive impulse to discover, emphasize, deify, sell and interpret elements of their own experience. Such «communication environment» considered as a creative sphere, or exhibition design. In the conditions of technical progress, the incorporation of elements of aesthetics into production gradually began to cover all production areas. The role of exhibition design in the organization of modern exposition is to create, in combination with communication room design, an environment that would provide the most profound and complete transmission of information, help to attract the audience and increase the intensity of understanding. The functions of exhibition design are: educational, cognitive, axiological, psychological, aesthetic, communicative, etc. Exhibition design in the 21st century both in the world and in Ukraine is characterized by the use of innovative technologies, which contribute to the expansion of the information field of the exposition and the disclosure of its main idea.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The article is focused on studying the area of intersection of contemporary art and philosophy, it is a continuation of the research project on conceptual art and its intersection with philosophy, which we started earlier. By conceptual art, we mean art aimed at intellectual comprehension of what has been seen, art that appeals to thinking and generates philosophical meanings. But if earlier we explored conceptual cinema and mainly visual art of the early 20th century, then in this article we want to turn to the visual art of the second half of the 20th century — the beginning of the 21st century, which is also called contemporary art by art critics. The empirical material of the study was the works of such contemporary artists as E. Warhol, D. Koons, D. Hirst, J. Ono, F. Bacon, I. Kabakov, D. Kossuth, the movement of “new realists” and photorealists, the movement of Moscow conceptualists and etc. Contemporary art is one of the ways of understanding the world, visual philosophy, which is of interest for philosophical understanding. The purpose of the article is to conduct a philosophical analysis of visual art of the second half of the 20th — early 21st I centuries in order to identify its philosophical sources and content. Methods. The author uses the following general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction. When analyzing works of conceptual art, we use hermeneutic and phenomenological methods, a semiotic approach. We also use the symbolic-contextual method of analyzing exhibition concepts, which is based on identifying the philosophical meanings and ideas of exhibitions of contemporary art. Scientific novelty of the study. We regard contemporary art as a visual philosophy. Philosophizing, in our opinion, can exist in various forms and forms from everyday practical (the so-called naive philosophizing) to artistic-figurative, that is, visual. Philosophical ideas or concepts are born not only from professional thinkers, but also from artists. The artistic concepts of contemporary artists are similar to the concepts of philosophers, since the goal of both is to cognize the world and grasp being. We find and describe the area of intersection of modern philosophy and contemporary art, each of which is in a situation of crisis separately and continuous dialogue together. Results. In the course of our research, we identify and describe the philosophical origins of visual art in the second half of the twentieth century - early twenty-first century: postmodern philosophical consciousness, conceptualism, the idea of “death of the author” and “death of art”, simulacrum, kitsch and camp, the method of deconstruction and its application in modern art. Conclusions. Visual art of the second half of the 20th century — early 21st century is a visual form of philosophical questioning about the essence of art itself, about the existence of a person and being in general. The works of contemporary artists are based on philosophical problems: meaning, speech and meaning, the ratio of the rational and the irrational, the problem of abandonment and loneliness of a person, the problem of the “death of the author” and the alienation of the creator from his work, the idea of the impossibility of objective knowledge of reality.

Full textAbstract:
The second half of the 18th century was a time of active changes in the perception of art, rethinking many concepts and phenomena. One of them was the pictorial sketch, which transformed from a preparatory stadium work into an independent, complete piece of art. Many art theorists and critics, as well as painters themselves had contributed to this rethinking. Many young artists, bored of historical painting and indifferent to all the academic principles, were searching for new media of expressiveness, using the sketch-like pictorial manner to give their works a new dynamism and an impression of “easy production”. The article is dedicated to J.-H. Fragonard (1732—1806), an artist in whose works the “sketchiness” became a conscious artistic method used in small-format pieces, in large-scale canvases, and even in panels. The use of such a technique in grand scale works is considered to be an extreme unconventionality, which, however, was not appreciated by Fragonard’s contemporaries and even by scholars of the next two centuries. Fragonard’s series of ‘Fantasy Portraits’ attracted enough investigators’ attention, but his series ‘Progress of Love’ has only recently begun to be recognized by researchers as an unusual and bold for that time artistic experience. Based on the analysis of the artist’s selected works, the author builds her original research, designed to highlight Fragonard’s special role in the evolution of art on the way from the Modern Period to Contemporary History. The relevance of the present article is caused by too little examination of this topic: minimal in Russia and relatively small in France. Besides consultation with research literature, this required the author to constantly directly refer to the 18th-century sources, such as treatises by art connoisseurs and scholars, art criticism, and catalogues of exhibitions arranged by the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture or the Académie de Saint-Luc.

The subject of the study is the specificity of artistic and visual techniques used by the British creators of animated films, using the example of the paintings "Shaun the Sheep" and "Van Gogh. Love, Vincent." The object of research is the artistic animation of Great Britain at the beginning of the XXI century. The article reveals the trends of British animation in recent years by analyzing the elements of the visual series of cartoons created using the expressive means of classical art. The works considered in the article demonstrate the author's approaches of modern British directors in relation to the artistic and figurative solution of cartoons related to various types of fine art, for example, sculpture in plasticine animation and oil painting. The aim is to identify and characterize the visual techniques in British cartoons of the early 21st century. The research methodology presents the greatest difficulty, since it has not been fully developed in relation to the characteristics of the artistic and visual specifics of animated films, but at the same time opens up opportunities for interdisciplinary analysis. The research uses an art historical analysis, in particular a structural study of the plot and compositional features of animation. The novelty of the research is due to the fact that in Russian science the stated problem remains practically unexplored. For the first time, the paintings "Shaun the Sheep" and "Van Gogh. With love, Vincent" are considered from the point of view of means of artistic expression and in terms of meaning formation. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that modern British animation proceeds by creating films in which visual arts are actively involved. This sets a high level of performance of paintings, because it requires the authors to have impeccable command of visual literacy, which allows them to achieve maximum expressiveness of images. It is likely that in the future, reliance on the artistic language of classical art and the manual labor of animators will continue to form as a specific feature of British animation.

Full textAbstract:
Research in the field of cross-cultural communications in the context of modern globalization processes is becoming particularly relevant. Each specific case in cross-cultural interaction has a set of specific features that require detailed study. The article discusses the features of Russian-Chinese cross-cultural communication in the field of fine art, which have been especially pronounced since the second half of the 20th century and until now. The analysis of generally accepted types of communication made it possible to show specific forms of interaction between Russia and China.There is demonstrated that these features are largely related to the fact that the process of cross-cultural interaction occurs not only at the level of communication between representatives of the two peoples, but also in the process of artistic and stylistic exchange at the level of art works perception. Thus, cross-cultural communication refers to the process of information exchange at different levels. Russian-Chinese communication features include the intrapersonal perception of Russian art, style and genre features of the Russian realistic school, that influenced the style of Chinese artists; the interaction between individual artists and students, the unique contacts between a teacher-master and a student studying individually in the art studio. In the period under review, the communications were often unilateral — Chinese students and artists adopting the traditions of the Russian realistic school of painting, both by inviting Russian artists to China and studying in Russia. The specificity is also shown in the interaction between professional creative unions of artists, joint holding of exhibitions, and organization of plein-airs, during which a multi-level exchange of cultures can happen.

This article attempts to investigate the development of Bohdan Khavarivskyi as a philologist, teacher, archivist, local historian, artist, personality, public-political and cultural-educational figure in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. This significant list of his interests testifies to this person's uniqueness, comprehensiveness, and talent. Based on the analysis of archival materials, it was found that the formation of B. Khavarivskyi took place in the traditions of family upbringing, his parents and teachers who encouraged him to draw, write poems, recite, and sing was an example to follow in childhood. Bohdan-Roman was a comprehensively gifted individual who could realize his talents later in life. His activities were traced during his studies at the philological faculty of Chernivtsi State University. He attended the literary studio named after Stepan Budny, designed and edited its handwritten newspapers "Sunny Clarinets" and "Vesely Ostap," and gave speeches at scientific conferences. Acquaintance with famous Ukrainian science and culture figures from Chernivtsi contributed to his formation as a mature personality with an active life position and deep national convictions. It has been proven that the beginnings of his pedagogical work were connected to his teaching activities in a rural school in the Ternopil region. Over time, Bohdan Khavarivskyi worked as an educator in the dormitory of Ternopil Technical School № 2. Also, as a teacher at Ternopil Special Vocational Technical School № 3. It was found that the center of the future writer's organization, a professional center of artists, free from the restrictions of the standards of socialist realism, was formed in this educational institution. Subsequently, he was a senior researcher at the Ternopil Regional State Archives, a teacher at the Ternopil State Pedagogical Institute, the head of the public education department of the Ternopil Regional Executive Committee, the director of the State Archives of the Ternopil Region. It is known that he thoroughly mastered the subjects he taught. He practiced original modern forms and teaching methods, involved pupils and students in Ukrainian and world cultural achievements, and worked in close contact with the Ternopil Art Gallery, the Ternopil Museum of Local History, and the creative organizations of the city. He organized fine art weeks and involved artists from Ternopil and Lviv in exhibitions of paintings and graphics.

Full textAbstract:
Corpomuseum as an Ideal Type The beginning of the 21st century was a time of great museum revolution. Many museums have been created that focus their activities not so much on collecting artefacts as on presenting impressive exhibitions, largely made of media relays. New museums are increasingly moving away from the concern for durable goods that characterizes traditional museums and transfer knowledge to their recipients through modern products and attractive technologies. In connection with the implementation of new and costly solutions regarding architecture, equipment, organizational structure and functioning, they actually need a lot of capital in the form of public finances and “human resources” from the very beginning of their activity. It seems that at present the need to raise this type of capital in a case of creating new institutions is far ahead of the need to collect works of culture that have constituted the essence and sense of museums created in previous centuries. The quality of planned projects also ceases to be related to the significance and reputation of the material culture heritage, and begins to be measured by the scale of the new museum buildings and the number of visitors. Products instead of cultural goods, or even products understood as cultural goods; visitors as engaged customers; capital understood by finance and “human resources”; large size ‒ which covers many issues ‒ ranging from structure, and architecture; modern technologies; political influence; brand strength and promotion ‒ all these aspects resemble the corporate model of organization. They provoke reflection on the functioning of the museum as a corporation, which is the purpose of the ideally typical structure of the “corpomuseum”.

This article aims to provide an overview of the two programs designed by the current Greek government to revive the country and prepare it for the 21st Century. Both plans, "Greece 2021" and "Greece 2.0" comprise four pillars outlining a wide range of programs to be implemented between 2021 and 2026. The first pillar of "Greece 2021" aims to highlight the significance of the events that led to the War of Independence in 1821. This will define how these events had impacted the world of politics and eventually the revolt of 1821. The purpose of "Greece 2021" is to remind the world, particularly the Greek youth, of the country’s glorious past,specifically, the previous 200 years of modern Greece. The young generation is also provided with the opportunity to envision the future status of Greece and play an active role in achieving the desired status. For this, a wide range of projects and events such as scientific conventions, cultural events, exhibitions are going to be held across the globe. However, at the same time, the EU has approved Greece’s proposed Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) worth over €30 billion. It contains massive plans to transform the Greek economy by means of investments in digitization, infrastructure development, and modernizing business processes. RRF is expected to generate around180,000 jobs and secure 7Percent GDP growth in a sustainable manner by reducing the impact of human activities on the environment

The survey research was fulfilled within the interdisciplinary approaches “anthropology of art” and “existential art science”, updating the concept of “anthropic principle in artistic creativity” demanded by modern humanitarian science. The relevance of the topic is due to the special attention of the art of modern times to existential problems: art practice of the late 19th – the first two decades of the 21st century to the present day in its species, style and genre diversity actively present anthropological terms and meanings. The author of the article emphasizes the immanent nature of the existential foundations of artistic creativity, points to the special role of the phenomenon of Homo faber (man creating) in the composition of Homo sapiens as a biological species, but at the same time pays attention to the role of existential philosophy (starting with S. Kierkegaard), which influenced shaping strategies in world art. The author is interested in ways to represent existential meanings with the plastic capabilities of fine art, procedural forms of neo-avangard, screen arts, theater, poetry, and artistic prose. Special attention is paid to the anthropological potential of the art form — minimal elements of the language of art, plastic nuances of the means of artistic explanation. Within the stereoscopic existential-art-historical approach, the reader is invited to evaluate both the works of modern painting, graphics, sculpture, poetry and fiction, cinema and video art of Russia and the world, which have already become classics and practically unknown to the general public. A detailed panorama of images and languages of art is designed to represent the hypostasis of an existential person — transcending, creating, free, suffering, lonely, loving, frightening, experiencing the experience of death. The mentioned phenomena are considered as structural elements of the system of the existence of human being created by the author, analyzed from an aesthetic and artistic perspective. A similar method of analysis in this context is used for the first time in world science.

Dear readers, We are pleased to present to you Issue 2, 2022, of the scientific and analytical journal Burganov House. The Space of Culture. Upon the recommendation of the Expert Council of the Higher Attestation Commission, the journal is included in the List of Leading Peer-reviewed Scientific Journals and Publications in which the main scientific results of theses for the academic degrees of doctor and candidate of science must be published. The journal publishes scientific articles by leading specialists in various humanitarian fields, doctoral students, and graduate students. Research areas concern topical problems in multiple areas of culture, art, philology, and linguistics. This versatility of the review reveals the main specificity of the journal, which represents the current state of the cultural space. The issue opens with the article "NON-Realism of Alexander Burganov" by I.Sedova. The author believes that modern Russian sculpture, at its best, has long since moved away from direct depiction and has learned to speak about painful issues exclusively in the language of plastic arts. In this regard, the author naturally raises the question - what is the "realism in sculpture" concept today? In the process of analysing the plastic techniques of A.Burganov, the author managed to identify several patterns, including the principle of "opposition": realistic images, being in opposition to each other, begin to form the world of symbolism and surrealism. Summing up her research, the author introduces a new term, "symbolic realism", into scientific circulation. Fang Zhiyu studies the specificity of modern Chinese sculpture in the article "Traditions and Innovations in Modern Chinese Sculpture". The author believes that two directions are clearly visible in the creative work of modern Chinese sculptors. The first direction basically follows the creative method of sculptors who studied in France before the formation of the People's Republic of China; the second direction is based on traditional Chinese culture. In the formation of the modern plastic language of Chinese sculpture, both directions mutually enrich each other. In the article “On Two Viewpoints on the Dramaturgical Conflict Structure: from Hegel’s Aesthetics to the Identity of the Formalists”, V.Kolotaev analyses the nature of the dramaturgical conflict in Russian humanitarian knowledge, which occurred under the influence of aesthetic ideas about beauty, harmony, the sublime, the ideal, formulated by Hegel in Lectures on Aesthetics. The author believes that in line with classical ideas, the conflict was understood as a necessary condition for maintaining the compositional unity of the work and the development of the action. It led to the final equilibrium state of all its elements after the separation of the participants in the collision to the maximum distance. In addition to the aesthetic understanding of the conflict as the basis of the harmonic organisation of the text, the author analysed the idea of conflict as the primary condition for the development of all systems. Ding Liang continues the topic of dialogue in the space of culture between national tradition and world trends in the development of art. In the article “Analysis of Creative Education in Ceramics and Student Creativity in Colleges and Universities in China”, the author rightly argues that Chinese education and global arts education are closely related to each other in the face of the globalisation of culture and economy. A number of texts are devoted to the issues of musical culture. In the article "On the First Graduation of Vocalists of the Saratov Alekseyev Conservatory", A.Rudyakova recreates a picture of the early period of the Saratov Alekseyev Conservatory, founded in 1912, based on rare unpublished sources. In the article "Alexander Ryndin's 104 Psalm: the Problem of the Expression of Author's Will Within the Canon", I.Mertseva studies the problem of secularisation, which the traditional genres of Orthodox worship are exposed to, in connection with the renewal of the means of musical expressiveness of choral music. Biographical information about the composer and facts explaining the address to the composition on canonical liturgical texts are introduced into scientific use. The author uses an interdisciplinary approach typical of liturgical musicology, combining musicological analysis and interpretation of the liturgical text in the traditions of Russian liturgy. Also, the article provides an overview of the methods by which it is possible to study original works on canonical liturgical texts. In the article "Heraldic Motifs in Family Stained-glass Windows of the 16th Century of the von Disbach Family", D.Platonov considers the study and attribution of heraldic stained-glass windows of the Swiss Union of the 16th century, when the art of stained glass was in its heyday. The author notes that by this time, the formation of a new social class, the burghers, was completed and the rich families were able to have their own family coat of arms thanks to the special historical conditions of the Old Confederation development. Based on sources in the form of surviving armorials and official documents of the period under study, the author investigates the rules for the creation of heraldry, the artistic image, and the specifics of stained glass technology. In the article “Zaha Hadid in the United Arab Emirates. An Architect Ahead of Time”, J.Smolenkova considers the architect’s buildings from the point of view of innovative technologies, features of the artistic image and plastic design. Along with articles, this issue of the journal presents K.Lopatkina’s scientific review of the book “The Moscow Union of Artists. A Perspective from the 21st Century. Book Two” by B.Ioganson (Moscow: Booksmart, 2021). The reviewer believes that one of the essential tasks that the author of this monumental work solves is the need to demonstrate and prove that the Moscow Union of Artists was very different primarily because it included various artists. For the researcher, “the presence of a unique experience accumulated in the course of the life of this multifaceted and well-coordinated organism that regulates the artistic life of Moscow and spreads its influence far beyond the capital” comes to the fore. The publication is addressed to professionals specialising in the theory and practice of the fine arts and philology and all those interested in the arts and culture.

В статье рассматриваются особенности развития в современном изобразительном искусстве Монголии академического направления, представленного творчеством выпускника Санкт-Петербургского академического института живописи, скульптуры и архитектуры имени И.Е. Репина, монгольского художника Б. Отгонтувдэна. Оно сохраняет большое значение уже потому, что дает возможность ответить на вопрос об актуальности академизма в художественной жизни Монголии, отмеченной отчетливым доминированием модернистских тенденций. Анализ произведений Отгонтувдэна на историческую тему позволяет показать, в чем заключается сущность творческой стратегии академизма, позволяющей ему сохранить общественную актуальность в условиях интенсивного поиска собственной национальной идентичности, что чрезвычайно характерно для современной Монголии. С другой стороны, на примере картин Отгонтувдэна хорошо видно, как академическому направлению в XXI веке удается успешно развивать основные типологические разновидности исторической картины, сформировавшиеся в предшествующую эпоху, и сопутствующие выразительные приемы. В статье показано, что главным залогом их эффективной адаптации к новой содержательной тематике, заимствованной из монгольской истории, служит ряд особенностей духовной и бытовой культуры современной Монголии, проявляющихся преимущественно в свойственном ей уникальном соединении примет прошлого и настоящего. This article examines some features of the development of the academic tradition in Mongolian contemporary fine art, represented by the work of a graduate of the Saint Petersburg Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I.E. Repin, Mongolian artist B. Otgontuvden. It is of great historical and artistic interest since it allows us to answer the question about the relevance of academicism in modern conditions, marked by the clear dominance of modernist trends. An analysis of Otgontuvden’s works on a historical theme allows us to show what is the essence of the creative strategy of academicism, which allows it to maintain social relevance in the context of the search for the national identity, which is extremely typical for today’s Mongolia. On the other hand, the example of Otgontuvden’s paintings clearly shows how the academic movement in the 21st century manages to successfully develop the main typological varieties of historical painting that were formed in the previous era, and accompanying expressive techniques. The article shows that the main guarantee of their effective adaptation to new content themes, borrowed from Mongolian history, is a number of features of the spiritual and everyday culture of modern Mongolia, manifested mainly in its unique combination of signs of the past and present.

Technological changes of the late 20th and early 21st century dramatically influenced the development of the global communication space – all communication channels are rapidly changing to a digital format. The topicality of the article lies in the growing role of visual communications of various formats and computer technologies in modern society. There is an active movement toward digital presentations of the world’s cultural and artistic heritage, multimedia art museums, virtual exhibitions, and virtual tours are appearing, which also require advertising. Main objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the existing terminology and visual stylistics of the media. Methods. The research methodology is based on a multimodal approach. A number of scientific methods were used to achieve the set goal: system-structural, art historical, and comparative. The scientific novelty of this work consists in expanding and deepening ideas about the development of media as a component of design activity. The authors of the article emphasize that a fundamentally new type of communication – multi media – has acquired its own meanings, meanings and visual images. Modern visual advertising appeals should have a clear communicative structure, aesthetic level and stimulate the intellectual activity of the consumer. It is proposed to define colour graphics as a basic means of media design, and aesthetic dimensions (parameters) as cultural-aesthetic ones. Colour semantics and regional imagery are distinguished to provide the aesthetic evaluation of objects in ethnic style. Postmodernism has its own typological features: the use of any ready forms from art to utility, widespread of photography and computer special effects, deliberate violation of commensurable quantities of visual elements, borrowing the ideas from other types of art, remake, interpretation, combination, fragmentation, epatage, installation, collageness and replicability of the projects. Conclusions. The results of our comparative analysis of terminology and stylistic aspects of media resources are presented. It has been proven that visual media is not a constant, but rather a dynamic process aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of those ideas, products, services, companies, or individuals that are being promoted. Media design is defined as the design of a visual info space, an innovative stage of designing for the virtual world, and a qualitatively new stage of its development. In summary, we note that research materials allow its continuation and expansion in order to prepare a course of lectures for Masters in the specialties "Design", "Management of sociocultural activities", "Advertising and PR", "Tourism", etc.

Full textAbstract:
While analysing creative experiments in architecture, one finds a number of different phenomena and examples, not so easy to discuss in a more or less systematic way. These phenomena and results, in one or another way related to experimental architecture, can hardly be defined by a single category and, as shown by the history of architecture, have become one of its driving forces contributing to the development of architecture in the course of time. The issue of the concepts of architectural experimentation on the whole is important and urgent in two aspects. First of all, such concepts are used in attempting to formulate basic architectural and cultural declarations, consequentially applied in forming and proclaiming different political creeds (usual practice of international architectural biennales and expo exhibitions). Secondly, their cultural value is of key importance too, as the ideas and thoughts expressed through the experimental creation often convey social aspects and states, also the idea, how architecture is understood during a specific period of time and the role given to it by society. Finally, as architecture is a language used by society to convey its socio-cultural status and values, the experimental architectural creation can be significant, although often ignored, in architectural practice. The most outstanding examples of architectural experiments confirm that architecture as artistic creation has long ago gained certain features of a cultural phenomenon, which eventually has become closely connected to society. Thus the area of culture and forms of its expression has becoming more and more relevant and significant to architectural experimentation. Although artistic and scientific experiments have certain similarities within contemporary discourse of architectural practices, they still differ a lot in the aspects of their backgrounds, processes and even results. But still, the interdisciplinary aspect, common to contemporary artistic experimentation, draws art and science closer together. Fairly often, peculiar new forms of art borrow scientific data or ideas interpreting, expressing and using them effectively to make pure art. The concept of architectural experimentation still does not exist as an integral concept. Only a few general features and attributes can be named as helping to define the architectural phenomenon as an experimental one. These are: (a) the idealistic trend and (b) very active element of motivation. It is also noteworthy that looking retrospectively, within different epochs the architectural experimentation had different relationship with other arts. The discussed in the article experimental practices of architecture in the 1950-ies – 1970-ies accumulated and effectively operated the languages of other visual – and not only – arts. Although, at the same time it should be admitted that they did not have the same close relationship to traditional, fundamental arts, such as sculpture and painting. So does the contemporary, the 21st century, architectural experimentation – it no longer has closer connection to traditional arts. Although it has to be admitted that the most recent, media-related arts influence experimental architecture on the levels of its forms as well as concepts. In general, the architectural creation at the beginning of the 21st century (both building architecture and urban planning) is getting more and more social. The experiment in such creation is less artistic or valuable as pure art in the traditional sense. Fewer experiments are made on the form only, but rather on the process itself and then – the form. Although the most innovative architectural images being developed and declared are getting more abstract and universal, they are easier to implement than before (due to the most advanced technologies). So, it is not so simple to draw a dividing line between purely idealistic and realistic experimental architecture, because what was just a vision not so long ago, today can be easily realized. Does it mean that experiments have become more social and less creative? Probably, not. Most likely, it’s because creativity has become transformable and gained new ways of expression.

Dear readers, We are pleased to present to you Issue 1. 2022, of the scientific and analytical journal Burganov House. The Space of Culture.

The journal publishes scientific articles by leading specialists in various humanitarian fields, doctoral students, and graduate students. Research areas concern topical problems in multiple areas of culture, art, philology, and linguistics. This versatility of the review reveals the main specificity of the journal, which represents the current state of the cultural space. The issue opens with the article "Al Noor Island - a Place Where Art and Culture Meet Nature" by J. Smolenkova. It is devoted to modern architecture and touches upon the philosophy of architecture ecology as a new concept of contemporary construction. On the example of a unique project implemented on the island of Al Noor in the UAE, the author considers examples of pavilions and sculptural installations, united by the theme of new aesthetics and humanistic mutual influence of nature and architecture as new realities of modern society. In her article "Glasstress: a Transparent Border Between Mimicry and Mimesis", M. Burganova analyses the modern artistic process that began in the middle of the 20th century as part of the craft + art concept using the example of "Glasstress. Window to the Future” exhibition, held in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The Stalinist Empire style, a unique phenomenon in the architecture of the Soviet period, is analysed by V. Slepukhin in the article "Soviet Architecture of the 1930-1950s". The author determines its place among such architectural styles and trends as Art Nouveau, Rationalism and Constructivism and gives a detailed description. In the article “Palladian Architecture of Denmark in the 17th-18th Centuries”, O. Tsvetkova considers the evolution of architecture in Denmark in the 17th-18th centuries, explores the influence of French classicism and Dutch Palladianism on national manifestations of style. On the example of specific buildings, the chronology of the classical architectural tradition development is traced. The creative continuity of architectural dynasties is studied in the context of the pan-European architectural trends of the time; the history of the Danish architecture development is traced. I. Pavlova continues the theme of dialogues in art in the article “The Role of the ‘English’ Theme in One of the Episodes of L. Tolstoy’s Novel, Anna Karenina". The author expresses the opinion that the development of the "English" theme in the episodes of the races and preparations for them serves to dispell false values, the ephemeral virtues of Tolstoy's contemporary society, pride and arrogance. The author believes that the main role of the "English" theme lies in the development and implementation of the moralistic setting of the novel, the expansion of the content space of the work and depiction of the dramatic image of the era. In the article "V. Borovikovsky’s Sketch ‘God the Father Contemplating Dead Christ’ As a Synthesis of Western European and Orthodox Traditions”, V. Makhonina considers iconographic interpretations of the plot and conducts a stylistic analysis of the work. The article "The Concept - Text - Interpretation Triad in Piano Music of the Second Half of the 20th - 21st Centuries" by O. Krasnogorova is devoted to the problems of the performing arts of modern times in the context of the general system of humanitarian thinking. The concept of interpretation from the standpoint of conceptual metaphors and research in the field of musical semiology are considered by the author. In the article, the broad interpretation of a musical text goes beyond the actual musical text into the area of ??signs, metaphors and metonyms. In the article "Instrumental Performance on Wind and Percussion Instruments in the Context of Traditional Rituals Accompanying Work in China", Huang Shuai analyses traditional Chinese wind and percussion instruments; he considers such issues as instrumental combinations and musicians. The author applies the historical research method, source study and musicological analysis of audio and video materials. The publication is addressed to professionals specialising in the theory and practice of the fine arts and philology and all those interested in the arts and culture.

Article is devoted to a research of a role and the place of art installation in the modern world. At the same time the retrospective analysis of a role of art installation in the past and comparative characteristic with the present is carried out. The Ukrainian context of development of art installation is also revealed. At the same time it is found out that installation is not only an important component of modern art, but also an integral part of historical discourse. Due to its visual functions, the installation actively influences the viewer. For the most part, installations are not just an object in space, it is what is the very space - how much the installation work has the ability to fill the space, integrate into it organically and holistically. At the same time, the main factor in the creation and existence of an installation in the exhibition space, as well as in other relevant arts, is its relationship with the viewer. In this study, the socio-cultural aspect of the installation is important, understanding of the significance of this form of contemporary artistic practices for a common worldview system. Such problems as the assimilation of new experience from the point of view of global processes, on the one hand, and the preservation of the national cultural identity in contemporary art, on the other – actualize the pattern of the process of perception of a new culture. In article it is found out that graphic schools are based on existence of certain art and educational institutions where graphic artists who carry out the teaching activity and own creativity a high mission of formation of new generation of masters create. Not less important factor is acceptance of experience of teachers and its further development in creativity of pupils and followers. Art of installation is an integral part of the modern fine arts of Ukraine. Emergence and development of this art form in the national cultural environment became possible under conditions of intensive creative activity of artists which reached the high level of mastery in connection with deeply philosophical judgment of problems of the present. At the end of XX – the beginning of ХХІ century, looking for new ways of development, the Ukrainian artists addressed installation which as it is possible better answered esthetic inquiries of an era and became a symbol of spiritual updating of the personality. Installation turns into a key factor of development of different spheres of culture, thereby playing a noticeable role in development of national culture. Installation in the modern art helps to be focused and inform of the idea and understanding of global problems to adherents of different genres of art, the audience of different age categories and social groups. Since declaration of independence development of the independent state and formation of own cultural policy aimed at providing free development of national culture and preservation of cultural inheritance begins. The state forms the legislative base which can provide cultural development and an open entry of all citizens to its achievements. In 1992 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine accepts "Principles of the legislation of Ukraine about culture" where the basic principles of public policy in the sphere of culture directed to revival and development of the Ukrainian national culture, ensuring freedom of creativity, free development of cultural and art processes, realization of the rights of citizens to access to cultural values, creation of material and financial conditions of cultural development were declared. It is found out that installation is an art equipment which uses the three-dimensional objects intended for change of perception of space by the person. The term "installation" in English appeared long ago – in the XV century. It means process of construction, collecting, drawing up something (now use it also for establishment definition, for example, of the software). With the advent of different technologies – videos, and later and the computer – arose also different types of installations which now peacefully coexist with other arts, for example, painting or a sculpture, without being inferior to them. Hardly somebody will be able to designate exact date of emergence of installations and their judgment as art form. Now installation represents the certain room according to the decision of the author transformed to art space. It is filled with a number of objects to which the symbolical value is often provided. Harmonious connection of things, their arrangement indoors is also art. Installations can be the constant objects exposed in the museums or be created temporarily in public and private spaces. The space of installation can include different types of the things and images circulating in our civilization: pictures, drawings, photos, texts, video, movies, tape recordings, virtual reality, Internet, etc. Installations are regularly presented at the international exhibitions of the modern art, such as Venetian the biennial. The most prestigious art museums and art galleries of the world give to installation art the best platforms from time to time. At the same time, the research of this form of art lags behind the progressing shaping a little. The phenomenon of installation is considered as a part of a performance that is entirely logical. But install processes, especially the last decades, proved what is absolutely self-sufficient the cultural phenomena which need serious scientific approach and judgment, require attention to a research of characteristics install the practician, activity of certain artists, a tipologization and the scientific analysis of modern processes

Одной из актуальных проблем отечественного искусствознания остается изучение явлений современной художественной жизни, многие из которых пребывают вне поля внимания авторов, пишущих об искусстве. В настоящее время художники нечасто организуют объединения, поскольку гораздо больше распространен индивидуализм, однако бывают и исключения. В 2022 году исполнилось двадцать лет петербургской Ассоциации художников — потомков дворянских родов, в составе которой более двадцати человек. Деятельность этой организации развивается по нескольким направлениям. Ассоциацию волнуют пересечения художественных направлений ленинградского-петербургского изобразительного искусства второй половины XX – XXI века. Поставив перед собой задачи расширения культурного пространства, она сотрудничает со многими современными авторами, продолжающими традиции ленинградского-петербургского искусства. Важной проблемой, требующей решения, становится и переосмысление русской истории. В статье оценивается деятельность ассоциации, ее вклад в художественную культуру, рассматривается творчество крупнейших ее представителей в контексте развития современного петербургского искусства, проанализированы основные произведения, представленные на выставках этого художественного объединения последних лет. Новизна исследования заключается в том, что впервые предпринята попытка комплексного изучения творчества представителей Ассоциации художников — потомков дворянских родов с целью определения их вклада в современное искусство. There is the International Association of Artists-Descendants of Noble Families in Saint Petersburg, which includes more than twenty members. In 2022, it turns 20 years old. The initiator of this artistic association is the Saint Petersburg muralist, icon painter V.V. Zavaritsky. The Association includes artists V.V. Afanasyev, N.S. Danilevsky, O.A. Ivashintsova, A.A. Ivashintsova, D.D. Ivashintsov, V.N. Pitanin, N.I. Rein, K.A. Troitsky, B.E. Engelhardt and others. Some authors, such as Z.P. Arshakuni, G.S. Bogomolov, V.V. Vatenin, Ya.I. Krestovsky, L.K. Lazarev, K.V. Vyshpolskaya, K.A. Troitsky, V.Ya. Trubetskaya, L.Ya. Trubetskaya even posthumously continue to be listed in the Association, what, of course, emphasizes the noble intentions of the organizers are to preserve the names of the departed colleagues in the history of art. These are such artists as Z.P. Arshakuni, G.S. Bogomolov, V.V. Vatenin, Ya.I. Krestovsky, L.K. Lazarev, K.V. Vyshpolskaya, K.A. Troitsky, V.Ya. Trubetskaya, L.Ya. Trubetskaya. The Association of Artists-Descendants of Noble Families unites artists of different origins, periodically inviting authors who have not yet joined this association. That is, conceptual and aesthetic program solutions of expositions are more important than the principle of selecting participants solely by origin. The Association's activities are developing in several directions. The reflections of various artistic trends of the Leningrad-Petersburg fine art of the second half of the 20th to the 21st century have great importance. The Association constantly sets itself the task of expanding the cultural space, so it cooperates with many contemporary authors who continue the traditions of Leningrad-Petersburg art. An important problem of her activity is the rethinking of Russian history. Throughout its activities, it strives for the revival and affirmation of spiritual and moral humanistic ideas, the vivid embodiment of which they see in the culture of pre-revolutionary Russia. Not only the origin of the authors is important, but also the high artistic level of the works presented, as well as their semantic content associated with upholding high spiritual ideals, Christian moral positions and careful attitude to the past of Russia. The exhibitions of the Association of Artists-Descendants of Noble Families strive to actualize many pressing problems related to modern spiritual life, understanding of traditions and attitude to the historical past, for which one can be grateful to them. The authors are not just collectively sad about the departed “Belle Époque”, but also express their concern about the state of today's time. The article analyzes the exhibition of the Association in Saint Petersburg called “Let every breath praise the Lord!”.

Burganova, Maria A. "Letter from the editor." Scientific and analytical journal Burganov House. The space of culture 18, no. 4 (September 10, 2022): 6–9. http://dx.doi.org/10.36340/2071-6818-2022-18-4-6-9.
Full textAbstract:
Dear readers, We are pleased to present to you Issue 4, 2022, of the scientific and analytical journal Burganov House. The Space of Culture. Upon the recommendation of the Expert Council of the Higher Attestation Commission, the journal is included in the List of Leading Peer-reviewed Scientific Journals and Publications in which the main scientific results of theses for the academic degrees of doctor and candidate of science must be published. The journal publishes scientific articles by leading specialists in various humanitarian fields, doctoral students, and graduate students. Research areas concern topical problems in multiple areas of culture, art, philology, and linguistics. This versatility of the review reveals the main specificity of the journal, which represents the current state of the cultural space. The journal opens with articles by Chinese researchers devoted to the art of Ancient China. In the article "The Heaven-and-Man Oneness Concept and the Style of Funerary Plastic Art During the Han Dynasty", Xiang Wu analyses the idea of heaven-and-man oneness, which was important for the art of this period. It was based on the Confucian view, the rituals of a strict social hierarchy and Taoist metaphysics. Qiu Mubing’s scientific research topic is “Objects of the Funerary Cult in the Han Dynasty. Gold and Silver Items. Aesthetics of Gold and Silver in the Han Dynasty”. Examining archaeological sources, the author concludes the high achievements of Chinese artisans during the Han Dynasty on examples of works of arts and crafts made of precious metals. In the article “Aesthetics of the Song Dynasty. The Origins of the New Style of Furniture Design in China", N.Kazakova and Qiu Qi analyse the vector of development of the furniture industry through the prism of the industrial design evolution. The reasons for the emergence of the New style in furniture design in China are studied. They are analysed in detail against the background of changing economic, political and cultural realities. The issues of the influence of Ancient China aesthetics on the formation and development of a new language in furniture design are touched upon. In the article "Problems of Colour Harmonisation of Composition and Development of Associative and Imaginative Thinking in the Environmental Design", N.Bogatova reveals the potential of colouristic graphic two-dimensional modelling in artistic and imaginative thematic compositions. On the example of the compositional laws of colouristics, the author traces the path of ascent from the concrete to the abstract, pictorial to the expressive, and emotional to the figurative. P.Dobrolyubov presents the text “Sculptor Alexander Matveev’s School and His Students”, which includes many archival documents and photographs. The author describes the process of learning from teacher and sculptor A.Matveev, names the main dates in his creative work, reveals the details of the sculptural craft, talks about the variety of moves in the master’s plasticity, analyses the methods and principles of work in sculpture, shows the attitude of students to their teacher, and highlights the entire course of historical milestones in the sculptor’s creative biography. In the article "The Golden Age of PRC History Painting (1949–1966): Origins, Searches, Achievements”, K.Gavrilin and L.Xiaonan consider the issues of the formation of the modern Chinese art school. Its foundation was laid in the framework of the creative and educational dialogue between China and the Soviet Union at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. The authors believe that the characteristic features of the golden age of Chinese historical painting were, on the one hand, the popularisation of painting as an art form and, on the other hand, the predominance of the dominant position of realism over the traditional styles of Chinese painting. It is noted that during this period, two main plots became widespread: scenes of socialist construction and historical events of the revolution. S.Zubarev considers theoretical and practical aspects of the activities of military musicians in the article "Academic Music in the Practice of Russian Military Bands of the 19th - early 21st Centuries". In the process of studying military bands, special attention is paid to the study of the features of military band service development in the 19th and 20th centuries. Factors revealing the role of Russian composers in the history of military musical culture are highlighted, and several works of academic music performed by military bands are analysed. In conclusion, the author notes that in the national culture, unique conditions for the development of military musicians’ arranging activity were created. They made it possible to preserve the traditions of the military band service and form the value principles of academic art. The publication is addressed to professionals specialising in the theory and practice of the fine arts and philology and all those interested in the arts and culture.

Tsarinny, Ilya V. "About the role of stylization in russian easel sculpture of the 1990-2010's." Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education, September 29, 2023, 25. http://dx.doi.org/10.47055/19904126_2023_3(83)_25.
Full textAbstract:
This article examines stylization, an important technique of the artistic language of Russian easel sculpture of the 1990s - 2010s, and analyzes the contextual specificity of this method of artistic utterance. A brief explanation of the specifics of stylization as a formative element of artistic language is offered. Special attention is paid to the process of creating figurative expressiveness by means of stylization. Ways in which the semantic field of an artistic work is formed are identified. The novelty of this research work lies in the fact that the work of Russian sculptors in the late 20th – early 21st century is understudied, and the issue of stylization in the theory of sculpture has not been elaborated well. It is noted that stylization became a leading technique at the turn of the century. Following a brief outline of the use of stylization in sculpture throughout the history of world cultures, an analysis of modern easel sculptural compositions is performed, leading to the conclusion that stylization tools used in 21st century Russian sculpture feature relevance and diversity. The main approaches to treating the figurative component through stylization are highlighted, and it is noted that stylization in sculpture tends towards a sign (hieroglyph). Two main approaches to solving the problem of stylization are identified: synthetic and phenomenal. The first approach combines the experiences of world cultures, or the main stylistic movements, and represents author's representation or reference in a given plastic system. The second is a unique, personal approach to imaginative narrative. The characteristics of these approaches are illustrated by concrete examples from late 20th– early 21st century Russian sculture. In conclusion, the outlook for the development of stylization as one of the most important compositional techniques of modern plastic arts is evaluated.

Calè, Luisa. "Blake and Exhibitions, 2018." Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly 53, no. 1 (June 12, 2019). http://dx.doi.org/10.47761/biq.240.
Full textAbstract:
In 2018 a retrospective at Petworth reconsidered Blake’s corpus, focusing on how the experience of the sea and the landscapes of the South Downs affected his work, from the landscapes of the early 1800s to late works such as the Virgil woodcuts and Dante drawings. The works on display also offered an opportunity to reflect on his relationships with key patrons, from William Hayley to Thomas Butts and George O’Brien Wyndham, third Earl of Egremont. In an exhibition held by the Dom Museum, which hosts the collection of Vienna’s cathedral, plates from Blake’s Book of Urizen were displayed alongside illuminated manuscripts and a book sculpture that questioned the primacy of the word. While the Dom Museum placed Blake within medieval, Renaissance, and contemporary visual cultures of the book, Illuminating Poetry: Pre-Raphaelite and Beyond at the Keats-Shelley House in Rome focused on the nineteenth-century legacy of the illuminated book. The desire to reinvent the Middle Ages in different moments of technological innovation shaped Blake’s dialogue with the Pre-Raphaelites and contemporary interpretations of books and stained-glass windows in Visions and Visionaries at the Guildhall Art Gallery in London. In the exhibition Kiss and Tell: Rodin and Suffolk Sculpture at Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich, experiments in the representation of bodies in space included the serpentine groupings of whirling souls captured in Blake’s line engraving “The Circle of the Lustful” from Dante’s Commedia, which was displayed alongside drawings and sculptures from the Pre-Raphaelites to the twentieth century, selected to complement Auguste Rodin’s sculptural group The Kiss. The end of the year also saw Blake’s association with the fiftieth anniversary of the moon landing in The Moon: From Inner Worlds to Outer Space at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, which showed a magnified reproduction of his emblematic etching “I want! I want!” as part of an iconography of the moon from the Incas to Galileo’s map, from the moon race to space colonization.

"The Significance of Frank O. Gehry’s Museums in Contemporary Museum Design Methodology." International Journal of Advanced Research in Engineering Innovation, March 1, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.55057/ijarei.2023.5.1.2.
Full textAbstract:
Modern museums were born because of the spatial composition program, exhibition techniques, and the diversification of architectural styles. Frank Gehry is an architect pursuing extreme forms and thinks modern box-shaped architecture is bland and lacks feeling/passion/love. This paper aims to examine the characteristics and meaning of the museums designed by Gehry, Gehry's unique architectural view, and the elements of his museum designs. As a methodology, the classification of modern museums in Newhouse's "Towards a New Museum “and trends in modern museum architecture are classified into six categories in Montaner's book "Museums for the 21st Century," which are used as a framework for comparative analysis to point out the characteristics of the Gary Museum and derive the location and meaning in modern museum architecture. The result shows that his architectural tendencies of fragmentation and duality are applied to the Gary Museum, revealing complex characteristics in terms of composition by contrasting combinations of formality and irregularity in materials and forms. The intricate design of the Gary Museum reveals its strong presence by creating a sculptural museum that encourages a four-dimensional experience both inside and outside. It was statistically proven that the above characteristics of the Gary Museum represent an aspect of the modern museum that is becoming a popular entertainment medium. A relaxed and comfortable exhibition environment was promoted by weakening the excessive rigidity in the exhibition space through the changeable ceiling treatment. Gary's museums were born between radical experimentalism and a pragmatic professional temperament.

Skovmøller, Amalie. "Between the Ideal and Artistic Practice. On Research into Ancient Sculptural Polychromy." CLARA 5 (May 26, 2020). http://dx.doi.org/10.5617/clara.v5i0.7982.
Full textAbstract:
Antiquity is often synonymous with white marble. Such are the general expectations when visitors enter 21st century museum galleries hosting ancient sculpture. Yet, ancient marble sculptures have never been actually white. They were originally fully painted or otherwise coloured, and today they pose as controlled ruins build by decades of restorations, de-restorations and preservation manifested as encrusted layers and patina. As such they express the modern ideal, meaning ideas of aesthetics developed by 19th and 20th century museums. They do not reflect the ancient artistic practice or the ideas of aesthetics that once guided the ancient craftspeople. The experimental reconstructions -meaning painted copies of authentic sculptures- are therefore often met with suspicion and sometimes frustration, because they explore the artistic practice above the ideal. Unlike the ancient originals, the painted copies are not in any way visually authentic, but fully polychrome, and layers of paint are often applied in thick, opaque layers, thus failing to meet the ideas of aesthetics on behalf of the modern viewer. While the reconstructions serve as seminal research tools in the academic exploration and experimentation with colours on white marble sculptures, they have no precedents in the history of art. This article will therefore explore how reviews of these experimental reconstructions echoes ideas of aesthetics originating from the 19th century, and how a lack of confronting these ideas ultimately empowers the reconstructions with the potential to impose a much-needed material diversity to 21st century classical sculpture galleries.

de Fremery, Wayne. "Recursive Documentary Design and an Awareness of the Mechanism." Proceedings from the Document Academy 10, no. 2 (December 15, 2023). http://dx.doi.org/10.35492/docam/10/2/8.
Full textAbstract:
This essay documents 3D-printed sculptures displayed at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Document Academy. To raise awareness about the cultural significance of the mechanisms that produce digital substance, the sculptures lend material heft to some of the abstractions that help to constitute textual representations of a sixteenth-century Korean lyric and modern Korean poems from the early twentieth century in digital environments. The essay also describes previous exhibitions of the sculptures that utilized augmented reality technologies. By documenting the ways augmented reality technologies represented 3D-printed sculpture that documents digital texts that represent printed documents and manuscripts, the essay suggests how recursive documentary practices can be designed to enable cultural memory while acknowledging the inevitable losses associated with cultural reproduction.

Miller, Alexey, and Alexander Kamentsev. "The Cossacks of Southern Russia in 21st-Century Memory Politics." Communist and Post-Communist Studies, 2024, 1–18. http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/cpcs.2024.2014678.
Full textAbstract:
In modern Russia, the memory of the Cossacks is perpetuated in monuments and museum exhibitions; their culture and history are described in school textbooks, including specialized ones; some regions open special Cossack classes; and hundreds of social media groups discuss the history of the Cossacks. Central and regional authorities as well as Cossack organizations, both official and unofficial, take an active part in the politics of remembering the Cossacks. However, there are practically no specialized studies exploring memory politics regarding the Cossacks. Nevertheless, this topic deserves attention and careful analysis not only because a variety of intensive processes are taking place in this area, but also because this case has a number of specific features and allows one to take a fresh look at some dichotomies widely used in memory studies such as victim and heroic narratives, official and unofficial memory, and local and national memory politics.
