Brief History of Computer Art and New Media Art in Latvia
2011
The Soviet and particularly Latvian computer art is not a well-known topic of digital art history.

At the turn of the 21st century after gaining the independence new media art examples and collaboration between scientists, computer scientists, software programmers and the artists are to be found in Latvia. Some recent media art events are mentioned from this viewpoint.
Simon Starling, A l’ombre du pin tordu
2018
L’exposition consacrée à l’artiste britannique Simon Starling (1967/) à Sérignan témoigne exemplairement du tournant pris depuis les œuvres des années 1990 et 2000 dont l’une, Shedboatshed, lui a valu le prix Turner en 2005. À vrai dire, l’inflexion de son art vers une interrogation portant non sur l’identité, mais sur la présence était sensible dans une précédente exposition dédoublée entre le Mac/Val et le Parc Saint Léger en 2009. Pratiques de la déconstruction et de la reconstruction, le...
The Human and Non-human Interconnectedness in Three Chinese Contemporary Artists
2021
Today, we live in an era known as the Anthropo cene. The interconnectedness between humans and other living entities and environments is an essential part of the theme of the Anthropocene and a central concern in contemporary culture and art. Through the emphasis of the role of non human agents, new materialism and posthuman ism radically problematize the binaries of sub ject/object, human/nonhuman, cultural/natural, and mind/body, and challenge the superiority of the human. Although both Chinese and Western scholars widely acknowledge that Chinese tradi tional culture and art are deeply based on less anthropocentric modes of thinking, the contem porary Chinese artists’ expression of the in…

Dialogeja, paikkoja, tiloja ja tilanteita : ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival kohtaamisten mahdollistajana
2019
ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival on kansainvälinen aika- ja paikkasidonnaisen nykytaiteen festivaali Kuopiossa. Festivaali syntyi vuonna 2002 aktivoimaan kaupunkitiloja taideteosten avulla. Alkuperäisestä 12 teospaikan rakenteesta festivaali on muuttunut sosiaalisempaan ja dialogisempaan suuntaan reflektoiden toisaalta taiteen sosiaalista käännettä ja toisaalta aktiivisen kulttuurisen osallistumisen käytäntöjä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen taiteen sosiaalisuutta ja osallistumisen mahdollisuuksia ANTI-festivaalilla ja pohdin niiden merkityksiä yleisöille ja kaupungille. Aineistona ovat pro gradu -tutkielmani haastatteluaineisto vuodelta 2012 sekä tulevaa väitöskirjaani varten tehtyjä uuden…
Polish contemporary art to the anti-semitism of Poles and its political significance
2016
Abstract This article presents artistic creativity which worked through the problem of Polish anti-Semitism. Almost all discussed works, performances, films, projects appeared after 2000, when Jan Tomasz Gross published his book Neighbors, in which he described the massacre in the village of Jedwabne (1941) launching a public debate about the responsibility of Poles in the Holocaust of the Jews. In the text, I showed as art, which is conventionally called “post-Jedwabne” was part of this debate. Its political status on possibly general level was associated primarily with the revision of conventionalized historical memory and national identity formed on romantic patterns. The text shows that…
