Russian Art In The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century, Ekaterina Dyogot
Russian Art In The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century, Ekaterina Dyogot
Russian Culture
This essay concerns Russian art in the second half of the twentieth century, yet any such description requires constant reference to the Russian avant-garde and the Soviet art system. The country's isolation made Soviet art such a specific, aesthetic, and particularly institutional phenomenon that it becomes critical to any understanding of art in the post-Stalinist period.
The Transformation Of Tibetan Artists' Identities From 1959-Present Day, Michelle Elizabeth Meno
The Transformation Of Tibetan Artists' Identities From 1959-Present Day, Michelle Elizabeth Meno
ETD Archive
The notion of Tibetan art as a preservation of the Shangri-La culture that existed before Chinese occupation is a pervasive ideology among western scholars. Buddhist thangka paintings were and still are an important aspect of Tibetan heritage and sense of identity. This paper, however, focuses on the shifting roles of Tibetan artists from the onset of the Chinese "liberation" of Tibet in 1959 to present day. The tremendous lack of scholarship on contemporary Tibetan artists, including both those who still live in the Tibetan Autonomous Region and those who have traveled abroad, has served as a catalyst for the research …
Practice Makes Practice . . . Visible? Revealing Structures Of The Artistic Field By Articulating The Evasive Properties Inherent In Its Systems Of Production Through Art Practice, Naomi Elizabeth Sex
Practice Makes Practice . . . Visible? Revealing Structures Of The Artistic Field By Articulating The Evasive Properties Inherent In Its Systems Of Production Through Art Practice, Naomi Elizabeth Sex
Other
This practice-led research project attempts to seek out and reveal the structures that frame the production of art practice, through and with art practice itself. With this premise in mind, the first phase of the study aims to use practice-led research by adopting quasi-ethnographic strategies firstly to explore the field of artistic production, and secondly in an attempt to activate, capture and contain tangible evidence that the artistic field is powered by persuasive informal discourse and practices that contribute to stringent and hierarchical rules of engagement. Entering the second phase of the project the contribution of this study is based …
In Defence Of Higher-Order Musical Ontology: A Reply To Lee B. Brown, Andrew Kania
In Defence Of Higher-Order Musical Ontology: A Reply To Lee B. Brown, Andrew Kania
Philosophy Faculty Research
In a recent article in this journal, Lee B. Brown criticizes one central kind of project in higher-order musical ontology—the project of offering an ontological theory of a particular musical tradition. I defend this kind of project by replying to Brown’s critique, arguing that musical practices are not untheorizably messy, and that a suitably subtle descriptivist ontology of a given practice can be valuable both theoretically and practically.
Concepts Of Pornography: Aesthetics, Feminism, And Methodology, Andrew Kania
Concepts Of Pornography: Aesthetics, Feminism, And Methodology, Andrew Kania
Philosophy Faculty Research
There are two broadly philosophical literatures on pornography. By far the largest is concerned with moral issues raised by pornography. This literature falls into two phases. The first phase comprises the debate between moral conservatives, who objected to pornography on the grounds of its explicit sexual nature, and liberals, who defended pornography on grounds of something like freedom of speech or expression. Though this debate is not stone cold, the liberals seem to have won it. However, it has been largely replaced by a different one between feminists who object to pornography on the basis that it contributes to the …

All Night Silence: Live Experimental Sound In New Zealand Public Art Galleries, Su Ballard
All Night Silence: Live Experimental Sound In New Zealand Public Art Galleries, Su Ballard
Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)
Since the late 19th century there have been issues with the presentation and reception of sound and music in New Zealand public art galleries. During the first New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition in 1889-1890 there were numerous musical events designed to prove New Zealand's position culturally and socially on the world stage. Audience members would spend the day traipsing around the enormous pavilions of the exhibition pausing to engage in a performance before blundering out to the next event. This mobile audience knew something about the relationship between music and art. Art was silent, static and contained within the …

Re-Enacting Performance Art, Lucas M. Ihlein, Chris Hewitt, Andrea Saemann
Re-Enacting Performance Art, Lucas M. Ihlein, Chris Hewitt, Andrea Saemann
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Lucas Ihlein’s re-enactment work has primarily revolved around Expanded Cinema from British artists of the 1970s. Working with Louise Curham as “Teaching and Learning Cinema”, Ihlein’s approach involves a carefully annotated and documented re-invention of the original works, paying particular attention to the technological specificity of film, video and digital media.
Engaging Aboriginal Art From The Idea Of Australia, Ian A. Mclean
Engaging Aboriginal Art From The Idea Of Australia, Ian A. Mclean
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In writing the first national history of Australian art Bernard Smith was instrumental in inventing the idea of an Australian national culture. In this respect his histories should be understood in the context of a wider postcolonial – or at least post-empire – discourse that shaped the idea of Australia after the world wars. Galvanizing the many threads of this discourse was the idea of an independent nation state. What role did Aboriginal art have in this discourse? As a committed Marxist Smith had a great deal of sympathy for the downtrodden, including Aborigines. However the idea of the nation …

When Is Artification?, Roberta Shapiro, Nathalie Heinich
When Is Artification?, Roberta Shapiro, Nathalie Heinich
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
How do people do or make things that come to be seen as works of art? In other words, when is there artification? The answer to this question is simultaneously symbolic, material, and contextual. It has to do with meanings, objects, interaction, and institutions. We seek to define not what art is nor how it should be considered, but how and under what circumstances it comes about by way of methodical observation and inquiry in a variety of fields. Circus acrobats, break-dancers, fashion designers, chefs, graffiti artists, printers, photographers, and jazz musicians are some of the examples we explore. This …
Artification Of Sport: The Case Of Distance Running, Matti Tainio
Artification Of Sport: The Case Of Distance Running, Matti Tainio
Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)
This article deals with the possibilities of artification in sport, using distance running as an example. Sport is viewed as one phenomenon in the history of physical cultures, with both predecessors and also the possibility of developing into something new. Sport was first defined primarily as a competitive activity but, by the end of the twentieth century, it had developed as part of the athletic trend towards exploring experience-seeking fitness sports. Through the developments of contemporary visual art, sport has also become a possible medium of art. These developments, both in sport and art, provide an opportunity to look for …
Media Art: Mediality And Art Generally, Brogan S. Bunt
Media Art: Mediality And Art Generally, Brogan S. Bunt
Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)
The wide ranging, trans-disciplinary interest in technological media suggests the possibility of a new discipline concerned with the history, implications and practice of mediation. Within this context, the field of media art gains a new sense of coherence and identity. Given the lingering tension between media art and mainstream contemporary art, this may lead the latter to assert its disciplinary autonomy. This paper argues against such a move. Media art is better positioned as an integral strand within contemporary art and, more particularly, as a key space of creative enquiry and practice within a generally conceived contemporary art education.
Growth / Decay, Yuri Kahan
Growth / Decay, Yuri Kahan
Summer Research
With or without organic matter, the Earth will continue to participate in its celestial dance with the rest of the Universe. For my work this fact is paramount. I am envisioning the Earth as a post-organic realm, as a space that will remain far beyond human existence. The Earth’s turning is not dependent on humanity, on flora or fauna, on any single living thing that inhabits it’s crust. This is an element of ‘our’ planet that I think is often ignored, forgotten, or simply unknown or not thought by most. As such, these pieces are about the purity of Earth …
To See The World Clearly: - Painting, The Camera Obscura And The Lens Of Spinoza, Paul Uhlmann
To See The World Clearly: - Painting, The Camera Obscura And The Lens Of Spinoza, Paul Uhlmann
Research outputs 2012
My practice-led PhD research project seeks to find ways to create immersive painting installations to invoke contemplation of immanence, interconnectedness and impermanence in the mind of the viewer. In this paper I will discuss the methodology of my practice-led research as it relates to the concept of sensation (Deleuze) in relation to the body and to painting. In addition to this I will outline ways in which Spinoza’s monist concept of ‘one substance’ has illuminated and influenced my thinking and work. Central to this concept is the notion that mind and matter are not two separate things but one thing. …

Teaching Children How To Like Balanced Meals, Harumi Norasakkunkit
Teaching Children How To Like Balanced Meals, Harumi Norasakkunkit
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Growing up in Japan, balanced meals were always provided at home, at schools and even at restaurants. Unfortunately, children are not going to choose balanced meals from the start, so this habit has to be instilled by parents and by the educational system until it eventually becomes a personal preference for children. If children are simply given the choice to eat whatever they want from the beginning, it is unlikely that this preference will ever be developed. The emphasis of nurturing the habit of eating balanced meals, rather than just eating preferred foods, is what is particular about Japanese parenting. …
Wilde And Wonderful: The Ultimate Aesthete's Redefinition Of Individualism, As An Idealist, And Then As An Outcast, Anna Brill
CMC Senior Theses
Oscar Wilde redefined the relationship between Life and Art, and attempted to live in the style of the characters in his works: pursuing Beauty. His view of Life as imitating Art played a crucial role in his definition of Individualism. In his works, he explored how one develops one's personality and Individuality, and society's role in suppressing the Individual. He firmly believed that Life and ugliness were inextricably intertwined, and that society's moral structure was to blame. Popular in his time as an artist, he made it a point in his writing and in his work to stand apart from …
Vestige, Gina Hunt
Vestige, Gina Hunt
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The work in Vestige alludes to aging and the physical deterioration of the human body through time. My interests in early radiography and X-ray technology, paired with a recent exploration of spirit photography, have become the conceptual basis for this body of work. The relationship between medical imaging and spirit photography deals with technological efforts to document the elusive and less tangible. In this work, the artistic process has become a metaphor for existence and ephemera. Utilizing monotype printmaking with spray paint, I create marks that are traces. This quality becomes a metaphor for the transient, similar to watching a …
Peacocking, Margaux Hymel
Peacocking, Margaux Hymel
LSU Master's Theses
My work attempts to express personal experiences and external observations of the present day western female ethos. Through visual depictions of forms with mixed media, my paintings convey females exposing themselves as sexual beings yet displaced in reality, as the illusion of their character is a projection based on environment and other people. Dressed in intimate garments with different hairstyles or wigs, I reference myself and create various extensions of my persona. Through these facades I investigate aspects of womanhood dictated by a cultural paradigm. I aim to create sexually charged scenes and explore the concept of perception, the internal …
From Here To There, Dana Statton
From Here To There, Dana Statton
LSU Master's Theses
The photographs in the series From Here to There are not a description of a place; instead, the images are about engaging in a particular type of looking. Elements of “here” and “time” are included in the work; by photographing a moment that will never exist again, transitory objects are imbued with importance. A tree branch drifts, a puddle evaporates, and light shifts, slowly, but immediately. In the midst of this change, my photographs represent specific moments. Integral to the work is the act of finding the photograph, as is the act of framing, taking, and making the photograph. Each …
Aesthetics And Art Of Friendship, Sheila Lintott
Aesthetics And Art Of Friendship, Sheila Lintott
Faculty Contributions to Books
In the spirit of exploring fresh perspectives, I offer this investigation into the aesthetic aspects of personal relationships with a focus on friendship.1 Glossing the aesthetic aspects of friendship, as we too often do, impoverishes our understanding of the value and meaning of friendships, relationships which give shape and content to our lives, which animate our lives or, as Nancy Sherman (1993) puts it, relationships which structure the good life. The friendships we forge and those we forgo, the loves we cultivate and those we lose, these varying and variable relations broaden (or impoverish) our experiences, intensify (or diminish) our …
