Diese Anthologie versammelt 15 Beiträge internationaler Autorinnen und Autoren, die sich mit Fragen der Einschreibung und Institutionalisierung von Gender Studies in der Disziplin Kunstgeschichte auseinander setzen. Diskutiert werden einerseits die kunsthistorische Kanonbildung und die Möglichkeiten des Zugangs von Künstlerinnen in das Kunstsystem. Anderseits werden transgressive, hybride Bilder von «Weiblichkeit» und «Männlichkeit» von der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart untersucht sowie neuere Ansätze postkolonialer und queerer Theorie vorgestellt. Ce volume rassemble 15 contributions d’auteur-e-s de réputation internationale qui abordent la question de l’inscription et de l’institutionnalisation des études genre dans la discipline de l’histoire de l’art. La constitution des canons artistiques, tout comme les possibilités d’accès des femmes au système artistique sont analysées. Par ailleurs, les représentations hybrides et transgressives de la « féminité » et de la « masculinité » sont interrogées de la Renaissance à nos jours, ainsi que les apports des études post-coloniales et queer. Written by authors of international repute, the 15 articles compiled here address the inscription and institutionalisation of gender studies in the field of art history. They analyze the formation of art-historical canons and the possibilities for women of accessing the art system. Moreover, they explore transgressive, hybrid images of «femininity» and «masculinity» from the early modern times to the present. Recent approaches in post-colonial and queer theory are also discussed.
This is the first comprehensive monograph devoted to New York and San Francisco-based artist Renee Green. Over the past 20 years, through film, video, sound art, photographs, prints, banners, texts, websites and ephemera, Green's work has comprised complex, multi-layered archive-like installations, employing a vast array of sources, which always urge viewers to become active participants. Included in this superbly illustrated volume are newly commissioned essays by a host of esteemed media scholars, art historians, critics and curators--Nora Alter, Diedrich Diederichsen, Kobena Mercer, Catherine Queloz, Gloria Sutton and Elvan Zabunyan--who engage issues central to Green's oeuvre, such as genealogy, archives and their reworkings, movements and displacements, site specificity and location.
Jean Otth (1940-2013) was a pioneer of video art in Switzerland. Even while studying art history and philosophy at the University of Lausanne and art at the Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne in the early 1960s he began to experiment with the then very new medium, making full use of its visual potential. Right from the beginning, Otth's artistic trajectory, which still was influenced by the practice of painting, became closely tied to the emergence of new technologies. His works were soon exhibited in Switzerland as well as at major international shows, such as the 1973 Biennale Sao Paulo, the 1976 Venice Biennale, and the Documenta 6 in Kassel in 1977. Throughout his career he mixed immaterial video projection with material reality, exploring their interaction. While constantly questioning the media he used, Otth produced borderline works that test the observer and provoke desire through covering-up, reframing, and shifting. This new monograph, the first book ever available in English on this remarkable artist, features photographic and filmed works as well as his drawings from all periods of his career. Text in English and French.
