Abstract:

The American poet Susan Howe (1937-present) began her career as a visual artist, but owing to a dearth of information about her early collages it has been difficult to say anything substantive about how they might have shaped her poetic practice. In 2010, she placed her collages on archive. Along with a number of personal interviews with Howe, this heretofore unavailable material has enabled me to consider Howe's subsequent work in a new light and to establish significant links between her early visual aesthetics and the poetics of bibliography, historiography, and elegy for which she is now k

Abstract:

In the following thesis entitled Meta/Physicals: Surrealism, spirituality and figuration in contemporary art, I focus on an interpretation of spirituality ultimately separate to religion, that encompasses notions of a vital force underpinning existence, which acknowledges the innate connectedness of all “things,” and which is open to notions of the paranormal, aiming to discuss this interpretation of spirituality, in relation to contemporary art and in particular to figurative contemporary art. In the first chapter, I address a number of ways in which contemporary art and art discourses relate

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I argue that the iconoclastic and anti-materialistic "art of living to God" is the central theoretical preoccupation of English and American Puritan intellectuals. I call attention to a wealth of previously unacknowledged writing about image, art, architecture, and form in Puritan literature, while highlighting how recent materialist analyses of Puritan culture have effectively obscured evidence of iconoclasm and anti-materialism in this milieu. In the first chapter, I explore the Puritan inheritance of John Calvin's theology of the "living image," which defines human bei

Abstract:

Making Art with Horses is a liminal experiment at the intersection of animal studies and performative contemporary art. A starting point for research is the assertion that non-human species and processes have perspectives, and that these perspectives have been under-explored in contemporary art and theory. Epistemological and ontological direction is guided by Karen Barad’s Agential Realism, the broader movement of new materialisms including the assemblage theory of Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, as well as phenomenological observation practices. Horses have been selected as the species wi

Abstract:

This dissertation is about new materialism as it relates to art education. It is a speculative inquiry that seeks to illuminate the interconnectivity of things by considering the ways in which things participate in generative practices of perceiving and making. To do so, the dissertation pioneers an arts-based methodology that allows for broad considerations about who and what can be considered an agent in the process of art making. In this inquiry, the researcher is an artist-participant with other more-than-human and human participants to construct an (im)material autohistoria-teoría, a r

Abstract:

Touching impermanence describes the experiential moment in an art encounter when one senses the enchanted reality of one’s interconnections within the sentient matterflow of existence. All matter in existence is constantly vibrating, changing, assembling and evolving into forms and organisms, cycling through decay and disintegration, then reforming again with diversity and difference; this is the impermanence of sentient matter-flow. Humans are just one form of these reciprocal assemblages; we are within and part of sentient matter-flow. We also co-create with sentient matter-flow, changing th

Abstract:

This practice-led research project explores the complex and contradictory affective responses encountered as a creative practitioner in relation to materiality. Using an Object-Oriented and New Materialist approach, I propose that affect resides between and around objects and that this relational space can be seen as a threshold. This proposition is informed by the ideas of Melissa Gregg, Gregory Seigworth, Graham Harman, and Jane Bennett, and contextualised by the creative practices of Eva Hesse, Rachel Whiteread, and Sarah Sze.

Abstract:

Spaces of Tension and Material Disruptions is a project that examines how material and space provoke the vibrancy of a sculpture or sculptural assemblage that is a part of an art installation. To explain vibrancy, I am referring to vibrancy defined by Jane Bennett in her 2010 text, Vibrant Matter, A Political Ecology of Things. She refers to matter’s vibrancy as the furtive energy or force of things within an assemblage’s agency. Using this reference of vibrancy, Spaces of Tension and Material Disruptions suggests that physical space in places and sites can add or detract to a spectator’s expe

In this paper I discuss how within this framework and in my art practice associations with "magic nihilism" are implied through the correlation and intersection with matter as both a physical and metaph

Abstract:

This interdisciplinary research bridging geography and fine art (‘geo-aesthetics’) follows contemporary artwork journeys from the studio into the public domain to discover how notions of value shift as the artwork travels. It seeks transfigurative nodes and their catalysts to explore how art matters: firstly how it becomes matter in the studio, and then how it comes to matter beyond the studio door. Two case studies at key moments of revaluation, a buy-out and a buy-in, both reveal responses to uncertainty that stress different kinds of collectivity. The first case study follows artistic pract

The ANIMOSA project explores potential responses to what has been recently described as a detached human experience.

Employing in my practice the developments in the contemporary arts and sciences, I explore the ways in which the natural environment increasingly exhibits its own material agency.

Abstract:

This study constitutes the first critical history of dematerialization. Coined by critics Lucy Lippard and John Chandler in their 1968 essay, “The Dematerialization of Art,” this term was initially used to describe an emergent “ultra-conceptual” art that would render art objects obsolete by emphasizing the thinking process over material form. Lippard and Chandler believed dematerialization would thwart the commodification of art. Despite Lippard admitting in 1973 that art had not dematerialized into unmediated information or experience, the term has since entered art historians’ lexicons as a

Sound art is a difficult to categorise and broad genre description that draws together modes of creative practice which use sound as a medium or a subject.

This is partly as a consequence of an analytical and historical emphasis on textual and conceptual approaches which dominated the arts through the 1970s and 1980s (Cox 2011, 2013).

The impetus to postulate the operation of a non-representational principle, in the work of art, stems from a sustained critique

Abstract:

In the restoration field the synthetic resins are commonly used and they are selected in order to replace natural products and possibly overcome their drawbacks. Nevertheless, these resins are not completely able to cover the specific mechanical properties required in each restoration work. The main aim of this research is the development of innovative micro/nanocomposite materials with enhanced features for artwork conservation operations. The introduction of appropriate amounts of micro- and nanofillers within commercially available art preserving polymers may allow the improvement of their

Abstract:

To works of art is often assigned a specific value of cultural and expressive testimony of an artist or, more generally, of a culture. Preserve this value means keeping intact the appearance of the work and its component material in order for the message to reach the public, without alteration. A good knowledge of the materials constituting the work is needed to preserve them appropriately. My research work is focused on the study of modern and contemporary paintings and of materials used, which are not well known compared to traditional materials. The main goal of this work was to investig

Abstract:

This dissertation examines gemstones carved in relief from the middle and late Byzantine periods. Byzantine gems share a similar aesthetic with relief carvings in ivory and steatite, but they have not been as thoroughly studied. This dissertation seeks to address the lacuna in scholarship by assembling, dating, and analyzing two hundred Byzantine gems. Carved gemstones average less than four centimeters in height. Bloodstone, a variety of jasper, was carved the most frequently. Almost all are enkolpia, or pectoral pendants. The earliest pieces can be dated to the tenth through the early

Abstract:

This thesis brings feminist ontologies into a renewed dialogue with post-phenomenological landscape studies through the development of a critical arts-research practice. Contemporary landscape scholarship in cultural geography foregrounds landscaping practices as performative; visual culture studies, similarly influenced by phenomenology, critiques the powerful fixings of representation; whilst current commentaries on art-geographies focus on questions of interdisciplinarity, rather than the potential for art practice-as-research to be generative of politically complex cultural geographies.
