Alone In The Crowd: Appropriated Text And Subjectivity In The Work Of Rirkrit Tiravanija, Liz Linden
Alone In The Crowd: Appropriated Text And Subjectivity In The Work Of Rirkrit Tiravanija, Liz Linden
Faculty Publications
The practice of Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija is perhaps the best-known exemplar of relational aesthetics, a distinction first made by Nicholas Bourriaud and affirmed in the writings of many subsequent art critics; but the critical focus on the interactive aspect of his works has tended to rely on utopian modes of community engagement, which ignore Tiravanija's strategic deployment of relational, interactive structures to implicate the viewer, publicly, in problematic political positions. Tiravanija commonly uses appropriation in his artworks as a way of exposing viewer's biases and this paper focuses specifically on his use of appropriated text to explore divided subjectivities …

This Bridge Called Imagination: On Reading The Arab Image Foundation And Its Collection, Dore Bowen
This Bridge Called Imagination: On Reading The Arab Image Foundation And Its Collection, Dore Bowen
Faculty Publications
This essay examines the benefits and disadvantages of using imagination as a method of historical research in the archive. Employing Jean-Paul Sartre's notion of “image-consciousness” in The Psychology of Imagination, imagination is defined and explored as a form of perception based upon temporal absence or suspension. This method is then discussed in relation to the exhibition “Not Given: Talking of and Around Photographs of Arab Women” (2006), curated by the author with artist Isabelle Massu. The installation was assembled with the cooperation of the Arab Image Foundation in Beirut and traveled from Marseille (2005-06) to San Francisco (2007). The author …

Conjuring Post-Worthlessness: Contemporary Web Art And The Postmodern Context: Part 2, Brett Stalbaum
Conjuring Post-Worthlessness: Contemporary Web Art And The Postmodern Context: Part 2, Brett Stalbaum
SWITCH
In this short essay, the author compares postmodern philosophical concepts from Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard to theories of Web-based Art. The author discusses modern strategies for design and new aesthetics that re-emerged on the web. The author acknowledges that Baudrillard and Foucault overemphasize art's value as measured by the interplay of technologies of the self and production systems. He also points out that it would be as flawed a strategy to dismiss the postmodern critiques of art, as doing so runs the risk of complete cynicism and dismissal of art’s value. The relationships between what the author describes as …
