Abstract:
Contemporary art/contemporary pedagogy: interrupting mastery as paradigm for art school education is a narrative exploration of artistic and pedagogical practices within the specific context of post-secondary art school education in stand alone art schools as opposed to a university art department. This study considers the following three primary questions: How can art school education better reflect postmodern cultural production? What are some of the ways in which pedagogical practice disrupts the monolithic model of mastery? How can art school pedagogy be re-oriented away from an overly det

Abstract:
My project, Contemporary Non-objective Art, is a practice-led investigation into the dominant narratives surrounding non-objective or abstract art, and how they can be revisited and reimagined. This project aims to challenge typical and chronological ideologies that have defined non-objective art and to demonstrate a new outlook. Particularly by demonstrating how theatricality in art can be embraced, filling the work with both irony and symbolic weight. Throughout this project I use the term “non-objective art” as a way of describing and focusing on the aesthetic and technical elements of my

This thesis examines the notion of hospitality in light of contemporary food-based artistic practices created from 2000 to 2015 by female artists Sonja Alhauser, Mary Ellen Carroll, Leah Gauthier, Ana Prvacki, Alicia Rfos, Jennifer Rubel I, Miriam Si mun, and Anna Dumitriu, and the experimental food artists Sam Bompas and Harry Parr. The aim is to make sense of how food practices, art, and feminism intersect, especially in light of the gendered history of the food system, including cooking, when opened onto a philosophically developed notion of hospitality.

Malta, a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean is extremely rich in its Prehistoric archaeological heritage. Local and also foreign artists were and continue to be fascinated and influenced by prehistoric art during the course of their careers. This thesis demonstrates the ways in which contemporary artists interpret Neolithic symbolism, particularly the images of Neolithic Goddesses found in various temples on the islands. The well preserved state of the Maltese Temples and their artefacts, and their beauty, still stimulate the imagination of artists to create works of art that show

The second chapter debates if Post-Colonial theories of alienation, hybridity and ‘third space' are useful concepts and tools for these artists.

Recently in analytic philosophy, interest in the issue of the epistemic value of art has been revived. Philosophers have sought to establish whether and in what ways art is a source of knowledge, understanding or a means of inquiry. In philosophy this is a longstanding question, addressed both in the Greek and German traditions, but it seems pertinent to ask the question again today in light of significant changes that have taken place in contemporary art practice.

Animals have been represented in art from earliest times, emphasising the integral roles they have played within human civilisation as labourers, food, entertainment, spiritual influences and companions.

This research investigates the exploitation of animals in the making of contemporary art.

The thesis explores the use of religious themes and the notion of self-design in contemporary art practice. It argues that art today that addresses religion does so primarily for its rhetorical function: for a recognizable pattern of persuasiveness, which is ultimately defined by its established mechanisms of belief. Furthermore, it suggests that it is through an engagement with this secularized rhetoric that the art viewer today can potentially be provoked to re-create oneself in ones own terms; or, in Richard Rorty's terms, to 'revocabularize'.

This thesis discusses the visibility of glass in contemporary art. By "visibility," I mean the potential perceptual and epistemological character of the material that can undermine its understanding exclusively in terms of transparency. Glass may seem to lack visual interest because of its transparency; our focus apparently lies on the other side of a glass pane. Glass mediates between here and there, between the subject and the object, and between seeing and being seen, without calling attention to its mediation.

It is the more-than-visual register that posits and produces the ‘cartographic world’, or what John Pickles has called the ‘geo-coded world’ (2006).
