Body Art/Performing the Subject Amelia Jones $24.95 Paper ISBN 0-8166-2773-8 An examination of the social and cultural significance of body art by a major new voice. The past few years have seen an explosion of interest in body art, in which the artist's body is integral to the work of art. With the revoking of NEA funding for such artists as Karen Finley, Tim Miller, and others, public awareness and media coverage of body-oriented performances have increased. Yet the roots of body art extend to the 1960s and before. In this definitive book, Amelia Jones explores body art projects from the 1960s and 1970s and relates their impact to the work of body artists active today, providing a new conceptual framework for defining postmodernism in the visual arts. Jones begins with a discussion of the shifting intellectual terrain of the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on the work of Ana Mendieta. Moving to an examination of the reception of Jackson Pollock's "performative" acts of painting, she argues that Pollock is a pivotal figure between modernism and postmodernism. The book continues with explorations of Vito Acconci and Hannah Wilke, whose practices exemplify a new kind of performance that arose in the late 1960s, one that represents a dramatic shift in the conception of the artistic subject. Jones then surveys the work of a younger generation of artistsincluding Laurie Anderson, Orlan, Maureen Connor, Lyle Ashton Harris, Laura Aguilar, and Bob Flanaganwhose recent work integrates technology and issues of identity to continue to expand the critique begun in earlier body art projects.

MODERN FURNITURE CUSTOM MADE FURNISHINGS HOME ABOUT OUR COMPANY ... List of all terms. Art Deco Popular decorative design style of the 1920s and 1930s. The name is taken from the exhibitions of Les Arts Decoratifs , where such work was first exhibited. Cubist painting and African and Native American art influenced the development of Art Deco, but the polished, dynamic forms of modern machinery and aircraft were most inspirational. The style is characterized by stepped forms, rounded corners, triple-striped decorative elements, and the use of chromium and black trim. Important practitioners of the style have included (in America) Donald Deskey and Gilbert Rohde . The style was popular for restaurants, theaters, hotels, ocean liners, and Worlds Fair exhibitions, as it did not have the serious theoretical underpinnings that modernism or Bauhaus styles encompassed. The architecture and interiors of the Chrysler Building and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel (both in New York) are good examples of Deco design. List of all terms. Bakelite Trade name of one of the first plastics to come into wide use. A phenolic invented in 1907 by chemist Leo Baekeland, the material is a good insulator against heat and electric current, can easily be molded in varied shapes, and is relatively inexpensive.

Reis: "Re: Western civ and the others" To address several threads from the last two weeks Modernism and postmodernism are not only markers for periods of art, literature, and architecture. When these terms do mark periods, they do so differentially depending on the object, and depending on the cultural context itself. As the list has pointed out, modernismsand avant gardisms of various sorts (futurism, dada, surrealism)mark different periods based on which language and cultural context it specifies: Brasileiro, French, British, Italian, North American, African and so on, and within the confines of a national literature (or art tradition), one can also specify subcultures with unequal and differential developments. Modernism and postmodernism have also both been value markers. At one time literary critics, for instance, spent prodigious energies articulating the

The Postmodernism Generator: Communications From Elsewhere Social realism and neocultural capitalist theory E. Jane Brophy Department of Future Studies, Stanford University 1. Contexts of dialectic "Class is intrinsically impossible," says Lacan. But if the dialectic paradigm of consensus holds, we have to choose between neodeconstructive discourse and Lyotardist narrative. The characteristic theme of Wilson's critique of social realism is the role of the reader as writer. In the works of Madonna, a predominant concept is the distinction between feminine and masculine. Therefore, Sartre promotes the use of neocultural capitalist theory to challenge capitalism. The premise of social realism holds that context comes from the masses. But the main theme of the works of Madonna is not, in fact, conceptualism, but preconceptualism. Finnis suggests that we have to choose between neocultural capitalist theory and the capitalist paradigm of reality. In a sense, in Material Girl , Madonna reiterates social realism; in Sex , although, she deconstructs presemioticist cultural theory. Any number of deappropriations concerning social realism exist.

Nearly every phase of modern art was initially greeted by the public with ridicule, but as the shock wore off, the various movements settled into history, influencing and inspiring new generations of artists. See also photography, still Origins of Modern Art In the second half of the 19th cent. painters began to revolt against the classic codes of composition, careful execution, harmonious coloring, and heroic subject matter. Patronage by the church and state sharply declined at the same time that artists' views became more independent and subjective. Such artists as Courbet Corot and others of the Barbizon School Manet Degas , and Toulouse-Lautrec chose to paint scenes of ordinary daily and nocturnal life that often offended the sense of decorum of their contemporaries.
