Style As A Common Currency And Its Aesthetic Consequences: Appropriation of Forms and Procedures in Neo-conceptual Art of Late 20th Century
2018
The present paper is structured in four interconnected parts that work towards the possible understanding of the concept of style from the perspective of contemporary artists. The temporal scope of the research covers the 1980s and the following decade, though it focuses particularly on the interval between 1988 and 1992, since these years are widely regarded as the seminal period for young British artists. Taking the UK as an example, the geographic scope is concentrated on London and Glasgow, since the latter city rose into prominence as the only true counterpart to the English capital’s art scene in the period under consideration.
Mimicking Spatial Aesthetics: the Kunsthalle-effect on Young British Artists
2018
This chapter argues that UK artists at the end of the 20th century were confronted with the utter absence of Kunsthalle-like spaces in their country, but they set forth to independently organise such exhibition venues and to produce artworks or installations that would fit in there, in order to speak a global language.
«All We Are Saying Is Give Pizza Chance»: L’effetto YBA e l’irruzione di una nuova generazione alle Biennali degli anni Novanta del Novecento
2019
The chapter addresses the rise of the Young British Artists (YBA) in their home country and their subsequent international spread during the 1990s as seen in connection with the Venice Biennale occurring between 1993 and 2003. Particularly, the author argues that the Aperto ’93 section devoted to young artists at the Arsenale for the 45th Biennale was an unexpected starting point for the YBAs on the global stage and their first Venetian appraisal convinced home institutions such as the British Council to finance a large program of international exhibitions for this new artistic generation. Throughout the 1990s the Biennale thus became a major stage for the rising YBAs, which in turn deeply …

So the Horizon Line Vanishes': Landscape and Abstraction in England from the 1930s to the 1950s
2010
This paper explores the tension between abstraction and figuration in English landscape painting from the 1930s to the 1950s, a transitional period marked by opposition between these two semiotic systems. The tension between tradition and new departure runs through the paintings and texts by John Piper and Peter Lanyon.
Tres artistas en el exilio: Max Aub, Félix Candela y Josep Renau
2020
Three artists in exile focuses on the historical diaspora provoked by the Spanish civil war (1936- 1939), and how it influenced three prominent figures of the cultural scene of that period: the writer and typographer Max Aub Mohrenwitz (Paris, 1903-Ciudad de Mexico, 1972); the architect Félix Candela Outeriño (Madrid, 1910-Raleigh, US, 1977); and the artist Josep Renau Berenguer (Valencia, 1907-Berlín, 1982). They are the three protagonists of this article, who were simultaneously living in Mexico during the exile and who made notable contributions in the fields of arts and humanities (Max Aub), architecture (Félix Candela), and graphic design and photomontage (Josep Renau). While they were…
Performing arts and mediation technology in the period of lockdown
2021
Advancements in digital technologies have become novel ways to enrich communication, expression, and transmission of arts knowledge. Technology is increasingly implemented in the performance space, as a source of inspiration for artists. Especially in this period of lockdown, mediation technology has turned out to be an essential tool for different aspects of social life, as in performing arts. With venues, schools and artistic activities closed, performers, students and spectators have been obliged to keep connecting in remote conditions. This article wants to retrace the aesthetic impact of mediation technology in performing arts during this period of lockdown by focusing on the aspects t…
El derecho humano a la creación artística más allá de las identidades colectivas: una propuesta propedéutica
2022
El propósito de esta reflexión es la de analizar el contenido del derecho humano a la creación artística de los individuos per se, independientemente de que su obra pueda enmarcarse dentro de las manifestaciones culturales propias o características de una determinada identidad colectiva. Igualmente, el trabajo trata de responder a la cuestión acerca de si las condiciones materiales de los artistas deben verse satisfechas por el mercado o si es predicable algún tipo de deber por parte de los poderes públicos que garanticen la existencia de creadores artísticos libres y con ello la emancipación del individuo y el carácter plural y democrático de una sociedad. The purpose of this reflection is…
Cuerpos propios. Antagonismos en el arte de performance femenina en la época del giro performativo
2018
El presente artículo traza un recorrido por algunas de las performances realizadas por mujeres artistas en los últimos 50 años en el ámbito artístico norteamericano, europeo y latinoamericano, cuyo significado gira en torno a la construcción patriarcal del cuerpo femenino. Obras que nos permiten reflexionar sobre la constante agresión y devastación a la que son sometidas las mujeres a través de la conquista y dominación de su cuerpo y que articulamos en dos epígrafes: cuerpos propios y cuerpos violentados. Con ello pretendemos aproximarnos al papel que ha desempeñado la performance, en la construcción o negación de los imaginarios culturales femeninos, en el seno del proceso de giro perform…
Määrittelyä kaihtava taiteilijakirja : ilmiönä ja intertekstuaalisen luennan kohteena
2016
Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan kirjallisuuden ja kuvataiteen välimaastoon sijoittuvaa taiteilijakirjailmiötä. Taidemuotona taiteilijakirjan katsotaan syntyneen 1960-luvulla. Termi (artists book) sai alkunsa 1973 Yhdysvalloissa taiteilijoiden tekemiä kirjoja esittelevän näyttelyn nimestä. Taiteilijakirjaan liittyviä, vielä vakiintumattomia käsitteitä avataan intertekstuaalisuuden keinoin. Julkaisujen ja Internet-lähteiden perusteella tehdyssä kartoituksessa ilmeni, että osa määrittelijöistä pitää jo 1800-luvun lopulla Ranskassa kehittyneitä laadukkaita kirjoja (livre d´artiste) taiteilijakirjoina. Sellaisiksi voidaan kutsua myös 1980-luvulta lähtien yleistyneillä käsityömäisillä tavoilla toteute…
