Luther, Anne-Katrin. "Collecting contemporary art : a visual analysis of a qualitative investigation into patterns of collecting and production." Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2016. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/9885/.

Abstract:
The dissertation presents a cultural analysis of contemporary art collecting and art production with an illustration of patterns that overlap in collecting and art production practices in contemporary art. The illustrated visual network shows how institutions, local context, social strategies and prestige overlap in their influences on art production as a cause for collecting contemporary art. Economic exchange, reputation, a perception of time, and the personal and emotional understanding of objects and material are four patterns that illustrate reasons for collecting contemporary art in conc

Abstract:
Contemporary British artist Rachel Whiteread is celebrated for her ability to cast everyday objects that force the viewer to think about the spaces they typically ignore. House, one of Whiteread’s most well known and written about sculptures was created in 1993. House considered issues of memory in contemporary London, specifically parts of London that are experiencing drastic amounts of change. Current scholars understand House as a memorial, and while this thesis agrees with this interpretation, it also considers House as part of a group memorial with Whiteread’s other sculptural wor

Abstract:
My interdisciplinary practice-­based research project utilises a theoretical framework of anthropology to explore concepts associated with economic and cultural appropriation in visual art. Through investigating the problematic history of artists appropriating ethnographic objects for use in their own work, the project considers how anthropology could be used to engage audiences in a more collaborative fashion. This thesis also outlines the processes for producing a body of work using the museum strategies of archiving, collecting and curating. This includes aspects of documentation, interpret

Abstract:
This research into creativity arises from a studio practice centred in unconscious thought; in an immersive approach, I restricted myself to only allow concepts, materials and methods to be determined by hidden motives. Maintaining a broad, open mode of attention, not focused on an outcome, bypasses the usual constructions; in pre-reflective silence, high speed, multi-dimensional, unconscious thought is free to reinterpret objects according to their meaning-for-me. While open to all materials, this methodology led to working exclusively with discards and narrowed to plastic rubbish. The Use of

Abstract:
Dialogue is a tool that can be used to promote learning experiences amongst audiences in contemporary art museums, in particular due to the potential difficulty of interpreting this type of art. This study argues that when dialogue between the museum and audience promotes balanced opportunities to express ideas and information, the museum can also learn. The museum can share the learning findings about audiences with the rest of the staff members through a professional dialogue, which may impact, creating positive change on future museum practice, in order to facilitate exhibitions, programmes

Abstract:
Over the years, prices for contemporary works of art have continued to rise to the point that many small, mid-sized and regional American art museums have difficulties collecting in this arena. Few authors have examined this phenomenon, or the different tactics in place to combat it. This study aims to fill this gap by undertaking a detailed analysis of successful museum acquisition processes at several museums. To ground the discussion I closely examine the hierarchical systems of the art world and its subset, the art market, and investigate the ways in which particular actors, including coll

This study is an attempt firstly, to explain the phenomenal increase both in the activity of collecting and the range of material that is now collected in Britain.

This change it is argued has led to a culture of social and material insecurity in which collecting is used for the creation and defence of identity.

Abstract:
During the course of this Master of Arts (Research) program, I have written The Spirits of Birds, a collection of thirty-five ekphrastic poems relating to contemporary Australian art. The exegesis relating to this poetry collection is the result of my research and reflection on the process of writing these poems. At the outset, my writing responded to artworks viewed in galleries, in books and online. Following the initial writing period, I approached a number of artists and asked if I could interview them about their sources of inspiration and creative processes. Six artists agreed to be inte

Abstract:
While the term sadomasochism might conjure cursory images of whips, chains, and leather-clad fetishists, this thesis delves deeper into sadomasochistic theory to analyze dynamics of power and powerlessness represented by a chosen sample of literary relationships. Using two contemporary works of vampire literature—Anne Rice's novel Interview with the Vampire and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series—I examine how power is structured by and between male and female characters (and vampires and humans), and particularly emphasize the patriarchal messages these works' regressive sexual politics engende

Abstract:
Sport universel s'il en est, le football se prête en même temps à l'expression massive des identités et des appartenances. Il s'inscrit ainsi dans la dialectique entre uniformisation des pratiques culturelles (convergence) et ré-affirmation des singularités locales et nationales (divergence). Vecteur de cohésion sociale, notamment sur le niveau national, le football s'avère ainsi être un terrain fertile pour la construction des croyances collectives, tels les "styles nationaux". A travers les équipes nationales et leur positionnement idéologique - directement opposé à la transnationalité post-

Abstract:
This thesis considers the understudied issue of genetic engineering as it has been deployed in the literature of the late 20th century. With reference to the concept of the enlightened gender hybridity of Cyborg theory and an eye to ecocritical implications, I read four texts: Joan Slonczewski's 1986 science fiction novel A Door Into Ocean, Octavia Butler's science fiction trilogy Lilith's Brood – originally released between 1987 and 1989 as Xenogenesis – Simon Mawer's 1997 literary novel Mendel's Dwarf, and the first two books in Margaret Atwood's speculative fiction MaddAddam series: 2003's

Abstract:
Art History<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation investigates aesthetics of African design and decoration in the work of major contemporary artists of African descent who address heritage, history, and life experience. My project focuses on the work of three representative contemporary artists, African American artists Kehinde Wiley and Nick Cave, and Ghanaian artist El Anatsui. Their work represents practices and tendencies among a much broader group of painters and sculptors who employ elaborate textures and designs to express drama and emotion throughout the Black Atlantic world. I argue that exte
