Abstract:

In the past fifteen years there has been an increase is Islamic art exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Islamic art exhibition includes both reinstallations of permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. Often Islamic art exhibitions are equated with broader social and political contexts and infused with beliefs like Islamic art can “bridge divides” (Flood, 2007; Winegar, 2008) and “speak” for the humanity of Islam and Muslim peoples. This conflation or slippage is unique to the coverage of Islamic art exhibition and may, at least in part, be rooted in societal and religious ideo

Abstract:

The research question explored in this exhibition and dissertation was to review the conventional notions of craftsmanship and the use of the specific medium of oil paint with reference to the art of Rembrandt and Damien Hirst. The subject matter is flesh. This study foregrounds the involvement and acknowledgment of the corporeal body, the hand of the artist, and of the organic material reality of our existence and the objects that surround us. The paintings reflect a series of interventions that resulted in abstracted images based on photographs of meat. Once a detail had emerged that emphasi

Abstract:

This dissertation presents a fresh approach to the study of Haitian art through research conducted in the emerging interdisciplinary field of exhibition history. In a deliberate attempt to move away from existing notions of Haitian art as a formal or aesthetic style of art practice associated with primitivism – based on mid-twentieth-century art historical narratives – I have opted to explore the display of works by Haitian artists outside of conventional museum and gallery settings. Taking a broader cultural studies approach centred on three case studies, I examine the exhibition of artworks

Abstract:

At the turn of the twentieth century, as Japan expanded its territory by colonizing other Asian nations, the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty was signed in 1910 and Korea lost its sovereignty. In political turmoil, the formation of national and cultural identity was constantly challenged, and the struggle was not argued in words alone. It was also embedded in various types of visual cultures, with narratives changing under the shifting political climate.

Abstract:

The challenge of contemporary art, unlike in art history, has only recently been identified in sociology. Furthermore, an overly philosophical orientation, has undermined sociological expla- nations of artistic production. To remedy this, I propose a sociology of exhibitions. This entails a shift of focus from the elusive subject matter of art towards the tangible exhibition, and the construction of a new framework: the exhibitionary system, which also stands for the physical, institutional, and network environment of exhibitions. The central question in the sociology of exhibitions is to expl

In December 1927, Emily Carr's paintings were shown for the first time in central Canada in an exhibition called Canadian West Coast Art - Native and Modern. This event was held at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, and marked a major turning point in Carr's career, for it brought her acceptance by the intellectual and artistic elite with their powerful networks of influence, as well as national acclaim in the public press. To this point, art historical writings have tended to focus on the artist and her own experiences, and in the process, the importance of this experimental exhibition

This provides a means to consider the underlying values and commitments that informed MOMA's emergence as a leading contemporary art institution.

In this thesis, I discuss critically contemporary visual art exhibitions that have addressed the Balkans as a structure of representation. These exhibitions, fourteen in number, have been organised by international and local curators in Western and Central European cities and in the Balkan region between 1999 and 2006. I consider these exhibitions as ideological mechanisms which in their effects formulate Balkan "otherness", and sustain neoIiberal policies and market cultural particularities.

Abstract:

Australia’s relationship with the rest of the world was particularly complex in the two decades of acute economic, political, and social crises between World War One and Two. This thesis argues that Australia employed visual arts exhibitions in the national interest within its foreign policy stance to amplify and recruit allies for its response to this complexity and that it did so to both international and domestic audiences. Six visual arts exhibitions between 1918 and 1941 have been selected to illustrate this transactional Australian cultural diplomacy within the decline of the European em

'Event' is a philosophical concept, and therefore does not belong to artistic or aesthetic categories.

Abstract:

This dissertation traces the presence of installation-based practices among artists of Aboriginal ancestry via selected exhibitions across Canada. It begins with a methodological perspective on Canadian art history, federal law, and human science, as a means of establishing a contextual backdrop for the art under consideration. The rise of an Indian empowerment movement during the twentieth century is then shown to take on an international voice which had cultural ramifications at the 1967 Canadian International and Universal Exhibition. Nascent signs of a multi-mediatic aesthetic are distingu

Abstract:

The once distinct roles of artist and curator have blurred dramatically in recent decades owing to a blending process in both directions, which has led to a turn towards the concept of the curator as producer and author, and the development of the hybridised figure of the ‘artist-curator’. Within my practice-based curatorial research at Meter Room and Grey Area, the 'artist-run space', as both form and content of space, is used as a critical framework for artist-curatorship. Artist-run spaces play a significant role in the cultural ecology of the UK, and this project explores the power relatio

Abstract:

This thesis examines questions of place-making and identity formation in Contemporary Art and their influence on artistic and exhibition practice in the early twenty-first century, framed in terms of the author’s own curatorial practice and research. This includes global considerations of decolonisation, cultural displacement, migration, translocality and environmental disruption, examined from diverse perspectives, including the transnational imaginary of a Global South. Chapter 1 sets out the contextual framing for the research, guided by curatorial values of locality, identity, discursivity

Abstract:

Feminist art historians reassessed French Impressionist Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) throughout the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, a period in which her work coincidentally received steady exposure in major museum exhibitions. This thesis examines how the feminist art historical project intersects with exhibitions that give prominence to Morisot’s work. Critical reviews by Morisot scholars argue that more frequent display of the artist’s work has not correlated to nuanced interpretation. Moreover, prominent feminist scholars and museum theorists maintain that curators virtually e
