    Meetings with complexity: dementia, meaning and participation in art educational situations2017In: Interpreting the brain in society: cultural reflections on neuroscientific practices / [ed] Kristofer Hansson & Markus Idvall, Lund: Arkiv förlag & tidskrift, 2017, 1, p. 109-126Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In January 2013, a three-year project, ‘Meetings with Memories’ (in Swedish: Möten med minnen), was launched in Swedish museums with guided tours for dementia-afflicted audiences. The project involved altogether 88 Swedish museums and was headed by the Alzheimer Foundation (Alzheimerfonden). Many Swedish art museums were part of the project, with the purpose that the art educational situations would create participation and dialogue with a group of people usually absent from the museums. Art in particular is regarded as a possible therapeutic rehabilitation for people with neurodegenerative diseases, where dialogue and making of art enhance cognitive abilities and quality of life. The therapeutic promise within art pedagogy is part of the larger context of the art educational situations we have studied. In this chapter, the aim is to explore how these situations are done and how participation can be made and interpreted in relation to the target group, people with dementia. We focus on the participation in terms of the meaning making, dialogical processes of the art educational practice of the project ‘Meeting with Memories'.

    Folk på tapeten: Om konstruktionen av folkkonstnären i framställnngar om Bernhard Jönsson i Färgaryd2009Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    I uppsatsen studeras hur konstruktionen av en folkkonstnär sker i två porträtterande texter mot en bakgrund som ifrågasätter logiken i konstruktionen.

    I uppsatsen tecknas en levnadsberättelse över Bernhard Jönsson, Färgaryd. Exempel ges på hans oljemåleri vilket sätts i sammanhang med den modernistiska epoken. Postmodernistiskt idégods jämförs med sydsvenskt bonadsmåleri för att finna likheter. Därnäst granskas två texter som presenterar Bernhard Jönsson som folkkonstnär.

    Författaren belyser genom sina exempel hur konstruktionen av folkkonstnären bygger på ignorerande av vissa fakta. Analyserna av presentationerna visar hur folkkonstnären blir utsatt för generaliseringar, mytifiering och avintellektualisering. Författaren jämför i diskussionen de skilda konsekvenserna av att kategorisera Bernhard Jönssons sentida bonadsmåleri till folkkonsten eller postmodernismen.

    Bruce Springsteen och myten om Amerika: en studie av skivomslagsbilder2010Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    I uppsatsen behandlas omslagsbilderna till Bruce Springsteens Born In The U.S.A samt singelversionen av titelspåret utifrån teorier kring nationellt mytskapande, genus och skivomslagskonst.

    I uppsatsen undersöks hur och i vilket syfte en artist etablerar en image samt hur denna image kan tolkas i flera olika kontexter. Här visas genom semiotisk bildanalys på hur omslagsbilderna driver en aktiv kritisk retorik mot ett politiskt system. Vidare visas på populärkulturens möjligheter att med mytologiserad symbolik och bildspråk aktivt opponera sig mot vedertagna konventioner och sociopolitisk verklighet.

    Den mytologiska retorikens inneboende tvetydighet och förfogandet däröver lyfts fram, liksom hur en artist genom skivomslagsbilden kan formulera sin identitet för att aktualisera och utmana sociala och politiska konventioner och trender.

    Kommunhusens semiotik: Semiotisk analys av fyra kommunhus byggda 2015 - 20212021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

     This study aims at reaching new knowledge about what meanings public buildings send out by studying 4 newly erected municipal buildings in Sweden. By adopting Göran Sonessons theory on semiotics as a study of meaning it is possible to study the meaning of buildings. This study uses pictoral semioticts to study buildings depicted in pictures. 

    By viewing all parts of buildings as bearers of meaning by their positioning and their arrangement new knowledge can be reached about the meanings of buildings. 

    By studying pictures of buildings this study can show that the municipal buildings send out meanings that present the municipality as transparent, open, modern and urban organizations. The pictures of buildings, and buildings studied here all follow similar ideas about the organizations they represent and are all similar in their way to manifest and symbolize meanings.

    Blända Powerplay: Att dela makt och ansvar2018In: Konstkritik och konstpedagogik – hållbara framtidsperspektiv: Växjö 2 februari 2018, 2018Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Som konstnär och lektor i design vid Linnéuniversitetet är jag initiativtagare till konstprojektet Blända Power Play. I Blända Power utforskade jag, 8 konst-och designstudenter samt en konstpedagog/kurator Växjös ishockeyarena utifrån perspektivet makt och jämställdhet. Vår gemensamma kartläggning ledde till en iscensättning där allmänheten bjöds in att inta arenan den 17 december 2016, efter de nya förutsättningarna gruppen skapat. De runt 200 personer som besökte arenan fick ta på sig röda strumpor och ge sig ut på isen för att interagera med andra besökare och en installation av ljud, ljus och föremål. Metodiken i projektet har haft som ambition att sudda ut och kasta om ursprungliga roller för att bilda en mer jämställd situation. Processen har haft en framskjuten roll och allas kompetens och olika erfarenhethar varit viktig. Situationen skiljer sig på flera plan från den man befinner sig i som undervisande lärare på ett universitet. På universitetet är man hänvisad till olika incitament så som kursplaner och betygsättning vilket i sig skapar en struktur som styr process och resultat. Projektet har i sin form genererat många frågeställningar och intressanta aspekter som diskuteras och härleds till tendensen; The educational turn. Blända Power Play är också en del av ett större projekt som haft ett tydligt fokus på hur olika konstnärliga processer kan påverka och förändra frågor kring jämställdhet nu och framöver.

    Norra Ängby: Ett småstugeområde som är 1900-talshistoria2006Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsen behandlar husen i småstugeområdet Norra Ängby i Bromma, som är ett resultat av den bostadspolitik som bedrevs i Stockholm under 1900-talets första decennier. Området Norra Ängby byggdes ut mellan 1930 och 1938 och är Stockholms största sammanhängande småstugeområde.

    Uppsatsen diskuterar begreppen egnahem, småstugor och trädgårdsstad. Uppsatsen tar även upp en historik om trångboddheten i staden efter industrialismens framfart och de bostadspolitiska åtgärder som gjordes för att få bukt med bostadsbristen.

    Området Norra Ängby och dess arkitektur undersöks i fem avslutande fältstudier, med fokus på byggnadernas arkitektur vad avser rumsfördelning och exteriör, med utgångspunkt i rådande byggstilar som nationalromantik, 20-tals klassicism och funktionalism.

    Genom odöda stilar och transformerade masker: Populärkulturell återanvändning av Goyas och Fuselis konst i nyadaptionen av slasherfilmen Terror på Elm Street2015Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study examines Goya’s etching The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters and Fuseli’s The Nightmare and how they are used in the slasher movie A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). The purpose of this study is to explore the artworks and their role within the movie and examine if it is possible to distinguish stylistic and thematic similarities between the works despite being separated by approximately 200 years. The artworks are analyzed according to a semiotic method, while the movie is analyzed mainly using the study’s theoretical aspects: intermediality, transmediality and intertextuality. The result shows that intertextual references and self-referential expressions are frequently used in slasher movies. However, the specific role which these artworks play in the movie is often hard to decipher. There are several similarities between the artworks and the movie and previous studies shows that early horror movies were influenced by gothic novels and romantic paintings which were transmediated to fit the film medium. The art works used in A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) have the same motifs as part of the film’s story and are also part of a postmodern trend of mixing between so called high culture and popular culture.

    Uppsatsen syfte är att se hur olika läsningar av en konstbild påverkar bilden av den representerade kvinnan. I uppsatsen tolkas bilden utifrån tre olika läsningar, för att se hur bilden av den representerade kvinnan ändras och vad det kan ha för betydelse.

     

    De olika läsningarna har sin utgångspunkt i olika genusteorier, därefter jämförs analyserna med varandra, samt diskuteras utifrån syftet och frågeställningarna. Här relateras teori och material till varandra.

     

    Uppsatsen argumenterar för att ett queerperspektiv öppnar upp för fler tolkningsmöjligheter, genom att det uppmanar oss att tänka bortom uppdelningar och gränsdragningar. Performativitet är en bättre utgångspunkt för analysen av bilder där kvinnor är representerade, eftersom den kan möjliggöra en identifikation över genus- och sexualitetsgränser.

    Ett drömlikt äventyr: En undersökande studie om upplevelser av HelenaBlomqvists verk.2015Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsen syfte var att undersöka varför olika recensenter av Blomqvists verk upplever liknande känslor och därmed använder samma beskrivande ord. Frågeställningen blev således; Vilka visuella element återkommer i Blomqvists verk? Vilka visuella element kan kopplas till traditionella visualiseringsmetoder av sagor, fantasier och drömmar? Vilka visuella element kan således kopplas till recensionernas upplevelsebaserade beskrivningar? För att besvara frågeställningarna användes Pierre Bourdieus teori om habitus, ett antal begrepp och visualiseringsmetoder, samt tre analysmetoder; word map, innehållsanalys och semiotisk analys. Uppsatsens word map analyserade recensionernas mest och mindre återkommande ord. Vidare bestod innehållsanalysen av 50 verk av Blomqvist, utav dessa valdes tre verk som representerade resultatet ut för semiotiska analyser. Resultatet avslöjade att de mest återkommande orden (värld, verklighet och djur) och de mindre återkommande orden (bland annat känsla, bildvärld, barn och plats) kunde relateras till de kategorier som utmärktes i innehållsanalysen. Dessa kategorier var nämligen barn, växtlighet, kalla färger, djur och horisont. Dessutom återfanns flera element som kunde kopplas till traditionella visualiseringsmetoder. Resultatet blev således att verkens innehåll i kombination med habitus kan ha styrt betraktarnas känslor och därmed deras beskrivningar av Blomqvists verk.

    Att måla en nation: En studie av svenska landskapsmålningar vid Allmänna Konst- och Industriutställningen i Stockholm 18972019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper examines the exhibition Allmänna konst- och industriutställningen in Stockholm 1897 and how landscape paintings by Swedish artists possibly could be interpreted as a part of the exhibitions political intention of being nationalistic. Methodically it is influenced by art historian Michael Baxandalls social history concept period eye. Focus is here about how and with what arguments the paintings could be said to be a fruit of their society. The purpose is to investigate whether, and if so, with witch rhetorical language the paintings were exhibited to help communicate a notion of common national values. The result shows that the paintings were exhibited together with international paintings, not side by side but divided country by country. Several paintings have parts in their motifs that in this context can be said to be related to the construction of national identity. A conclusion is that both paintings and context are performative.

    Den förtingligade utopin: Ostindiskt porslin på Kina slott; materialitet, dekoration och transkulturalism i svensk rokoko2023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study analyzes objects of Chinese porcelain found at Kina slott located on Drottningholm just outside Stockholm from a material culture (Material Culture Studies MCS) perspective. The aim is to examine how the materiality of porcelain can generate knowledge within MCS and to shed light on how it influenced the image of the Far East in Sweden during the mid-1700s. The study also wants to open up ways for further analyses of Chinese porcelain at the royal palaces in Sweden. Theory is drawn from various interdisciplinary fields of research and activates the concepts of transculturalism and agency to problematize how the porcelain objects was displayed at the castle and how they interact with the environment. The analyses also raise questions about the objects' age and stylistic development. The gaze of the Art historian and the knowledge of connoisseurship are discussed in a reflective section. The result of the study places the material culture and agency of porcelain as an actor with an important impact on the imagination of the utopian Far East in the 1700s but also as a transformer for cultural exchange between East and West. The objects are believed to have been of great importance as authentic props from a distant world and the discussion also takes into consideration the porcelain objects political influence as a status object and commodity.

    Det skenbart händelselösa: Tidsflöde och performativitet i två målningar av Gwen John2020Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper analyzes two paintings by the British artist Gwen John. The purpose is to investigate how the two paintings The brown teapot and Portrait of Mrs Atkinson communicate performatively with the viewer and whether individual picture elements can be thought of as metaphors for a flow of time. Theoretically, the study is based on the concepts of performativity and temporality to create a discursive framework that is then used to ask questions that seek to answer hypotheses in accordance with the purpose formulation. One conclusion is that both paintings appears to place the beholder outside the image and that limits the viewer's active response. In the portrait of Mrs Atkinson, it is also not possible to meet the model's gaze, which creates further distance to the viewer. Both paintings are interpreted as an expression of a slow flow of time, mainly by the way they exclude the viewer from an active and direct space to respond to, but instead offering a contemplative and reflective passive role as a beholder.

    Abstract [en]

    This chapter is dedicated to Sophie Calle’s aesthetically rich and existentially moving art exhibition Rachel, Monique (2014), representing her mother’s death in 2006. Calle’s well-known dichotomies between private and public, random acts and aesthetic form are repeated in a new dichotomy between life and death, and the nuances in between these. The authors suggest a combination of some of the fundamental notions of intermedial studies combined with the aesthetic theory of Mikhail Bakhtin in order to grasp the exhibition and the experience of it.

    Abstract [de]

    Alternative Archivstrategien sind Interventionen in das kulturelle Gedächtnis. Im besten Fall bringen sie die dominante Geschichtsschreibung ins Wanken und erzeugen ein lebendiges Archiv für Gegenwart und Zukunft. Neben Fragen von Inklusion stellen sich für Film- und Videoarchive besondere Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Materialität und Nachhaltigkeit, Urheberrecht und Ethik. Kann die archivarische Praxis Lücken in archivarischen Sammlungen aufzeigen (oder womöglich schließen)? Ist es so einfach, marginalisierte Gruppen einzubeziehen? Wie lassen sich Ausschlüsse sichtbar machen und wie können Archive Ambivalenzen der Sichtbarkeit thematisieren? Und wie lässt sich mit schwierigem Erbe umgehen? Diese Keynote präsentiert Wege einer veränderten Sammlungspolitik und Zugangsgestaltung im Kontext aktueller gedächtnispolitischer Debatten.

    Curating queer memory work: site-specific and online exhibitions at SAQMI – The Swedish Archive for Queer Moving Images2022Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Queer film has always existed outside national frameworks, it has always crossed borders and has been circulated internationally and locally, in kinship networks. How does queer film circulate today locally, beyond Netflix or international film festivals? SAQMI – The Swedish Archive for Queer Moving Images, founded in 2017 by artist and curator Anna Linder, offers a useful example to think about ways of navigating local spaces/places and transnational audiovisual heritage. SAQMI is a platform for queer moving images that combines IRL events on location with digitized content available worldwide online. Highlighting experimental filmmaking, it employs documentation, interviews, archiving, screenings, presentations, workshops, and discussions. As memory studies have taught us, storage alone is not memory. Memory requires circulation, and histories, narratives, and heritage are always re-constituted in the process of reception. This makes SAQMI an interesting case, as it is a living archive, dedicating itself to the (re-)circulation of queer moving images from various decades. Its curatorial practice excavates layers of queer history and situates them in a specific space, unveiling different temporalities. This talk will present the curatorial practice of SAQMI and its (dis)located memory work.

    A Realized Artistic Utopia of the Brezhnev Era?: The Paradox of Crisis for Art Criticism, Education, and Communication2020In: Art - What is it good for? Education, mediation, criticism: An international conference arranged at Linnaeus University, in Växjö, Sweden, August 19-20, 2020, Linnaeus University , 2020Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this paper is to surface what to me looks like a delicate art political paradox. The paradox I perceive is this: in every liberal-capitalist society art is good (and more art is better) and thus art is eligible to public support, good art more so, but as there is no inherently bad (or evil) art, no art should be suppressed. The values of art (whichever they might be) are to be distributed through an active and engaging criticism, through art education, and communicated to permeate all of society to participate in. This cultural policy is almost a blue-print of the utopian ideas of the avantgarde, especially of the different strands of neo-avantgardism (conceptual art, performance, art activism, relational aesthetics, etc.) which all emphasizes notions of participation, emancipation, creativity, critical engagement, and co-operation. Although thus agreeing in ambition ― and this is the crucial and questionable presumption of my paradox ― this does not happen. The successful artists are (still) obviously those who perform in the art market and have retrospectives at important venues, and not any hypothetical artist producing the abovementioned goods. Furthermore it seems to me ― given the immeasurability of the quantities ― that the degree of engaging criticism, education and communication is inversely proportional to the success of any artistic practice. The implicit answer to this paradox seems univocally to be that we just have to push harder, to increase the support for the artists and to further encourage the public to take an active part in art. Instead of continuing on this path, I would like to invite you ― as a thought experiment ― to consider the art politics of Leonid Brezhnev (1964–85, including the two successive gerontics, Andropov and Chernenko). Or, to be more precise: the consequences for artistic practice of Brezhnev’s cultural policy. To do so we will consider the changes of the artistic practices following the zastoya of Brezhnev by the some of the Moscow Conceptualists (Collective Actions and AptArt), as well as some lesser known practices of the Mit’ki group and the Necrorealists in Leningrad, compared to the changes in the same artistic practices that came with the perestroika of Mikhail Gorbachev (1985–91).

    Abstract [en]

    The emerging revaluation of The Baroness, Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven is surprisingly not driven by any alleged 'first readymade', but rather by her performative practices and in-real-life behaviour as "allographic strategies" against the hypertrophies of the art work and the artist. This performative mode points at altogether different art historical vector, a vector than stems from the Berlin cabaret scene and gives a partial explanation to the otherwise inexplicable recent interest in Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne project. It is suggested here that when allographic practices, together with the recent focus on performativity, are included in the context of the intrinsic "autographical" character of visual art, will have far-reaching consequences for the status of the art work (towards an affective documentality) and its "author fuction" (towards an ambiguity with regard to subject-object positions).

    Art, Craft, and Industrial Production: The humiliation of Josiah Wedgwood, the revenge of art forgery, and the concession of contemporary art2015In: Design Prozesse 2015, Eine Tagung zum Verhältnis von Kunst und Design: Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz, Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst, 21 March 2015, Basel: Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst FHNW , 2015Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    How Josiah Wedgwood will be a Great Contemporary Artist after two centuries of Humiliation through the Secret Schemes of Art ForgersAccording to Joseph Alsop (The Rare Art Tradition, 1981), art is defined, and I believe rightly so, by eight epiphenomenons: collecting, history, market, museum, forgery, re-evaluation of taste, antiquities (old for old's sake), and super-prices. Incidentally, design share with art all of those eight epiphenomenons: there are design collecting, a history of design, a market for design, design museums, design forgery, re-evaluation of taste, antiquities (for instance bakelite telephones or Umbrian majolica), and super-prices. Still, it is evident that design is subsumed under an other discourse than art. Something, then, must be different, the question remains: in what?When the issue is on the relationship between art and design, we imply, consciously or not, that this relationship is asymmetric in such a way that art is more refined, more specialized, and more narrow than design. And in a certain perverse way, we assume that design desires or strives to be like art, if not actually be art. I will here try to test the opposite direction in the relationship: what if art desires or strives to be like design? This is not a new reversal. It was attempted by the constructivists, by the Arts & Crafts movement, and by Bauhaus. But they all failed in this regard. Art and design continued to be separate disciplines and discourses, and maybe even more so after these attempts. I will take another stance, within a more emotional framing on the conflict, in terms of humiliation and revenge, with which I believe it can be shown that the difference stems from a metaphysics of history, resulting in different conceptions of proper name vs trademark, of origin vs periphery, and of the concepts to create (creare ex nihilo) vs to forge (facere de materia).This will be done in five moments:I. The Humiliation of Wedgwood (art-craft-industrial production) ---> a) the humiliation (i.e. the Portland Vase) b) The figures is continuously produced. (i.e. Flaxman Ewers)II. The Bastianini Affair 1864 and South Kensington MuseumIII. The Occult Italian Avantgarde of Forged Primitives (cf. Ruskin, Arts & Crafts)IV. Technical Forensics and reverse engineering in the Han van Meegeren case 1937V. Elaine Sturtevant (reverse engineering). Eleanor Antin (contingent pasts). Hito Steyerl (artistic research). Hilma af Klint (interested interaction)

    Det reciproke plagiat: Charlataneri og negativ identitet hos Elmyr de Hory i anledning af Orson Welles' F for Fake2013In: Passepartout - Skrifter for kunsthistorie, ISSN 0908-5351, no 34, p. 170-188Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Orson Welles’ last film, F for Fake from 1973, not only doubles several figures from Clifford Irving’s biography of the forger Elmyr de Hory, the character ‘Orson Welles’ doubles the character ‘Elmyr de Hory’ as well in their common denominator as charlatans> Orson as a non-filming movie-maker, Elmyr as a non-artist painter and draughtsman. Whereas this for Orson was an intentional ambition in his film-making, it seems for Elmyr to have been an unintentional involutarism. As most artists, Elmyr strived for recognition of his own works under his own name. The problem was, however, that he did not have any real identity. With regard to quality, Hory could not really see the difference between a Modigliani portrait painted by Modigliani in 1910’s and another Modigliani portrait by Elmyr. This indifference towards the logic of artistic fame, established by different avantgardes, Hory probably had in common with all our lesser known artists, who thought that aesthetical qualities could be exchanged to artistic value. Elmyr’s paradoxical success – starting with Clifford Irving’s biography and Orson Welles’ film – illuminates a strategy for traditional or mediocre artists, to test artistic value, with a type of retrogardian chock-effect: reciprocal plagiarism.

    Documenta XII: Om fordele og ulemper ved en historie for kunsten2007In: Le monde diplomatique. Norsk-dansk utgave, no 8, p. 12-13Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [no]

    Årets documenta viderefører den kosmopolitiske linje fra forrige documenta, med kraftig emfas på kunsten i globaliseringens tidsalder. Intet værk og ingen grupp af værker kan siges at gøre status eller pege i hvilken retning kunsten er på vej. Værkerne er ikke hængt monografisk efter kunstner, heller ikke tematisk efter genre, emne eller stil, men snarere «rytmisk». Det viser sig være et greb som sætter kunstens og kunsthistoriens situation på sin spids. De fleste udstillede værker synes at datere sig fra tiden omkring 1955-75 udført av mindre kendte kunstnere. Det vi kan iagttage er et konsekvent forsøg på at omlægge den eurocentrisk-vestlige kunsthistorie. Documenta 12 kommer ikke at lykkes med at skrive en ny fortælling for kunsten, eftersom vi beskuere ikke kan have at det skal lykkes, men det er stadigvæk det bedste forsøg på omlægning vi nogensinde har set indenfor kunstvæsenet selv.

    Embodied Futures: Walid Raad, the Niaux Cave, and the Perfective Future of the Work of Art2016In: Two-day seminar for MFA and ph.d. students at the Art Academy in Vilnius: 13–14 October 2016, Art Academy in Vilnius , 2016Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The background for this talk is the no longer operating logic of the avantgarde (and thus of art). With modernism and the avantgarde, art operated from the view-point of an already perfective future (utopia, the end of art, the last painting etc.). This meant that the meaning of any art work, was to transgress always closer to this end, and by this narrative we could decide which works were important (compossible with this narrative) and which were irrelevant (incompossible with this narrative). With the advent of 'contemporary art' (1964/1973), but not really recognizable until rather recently, it has become clear that this logic is no longer operating. The future of art has become contingent. This talk will try to explore what the question of the shape of the future implies for the art work and art history - a kind of "art epistemology" (What does art know? What does the art-work know?). The case in point will be Walid Raad's recent performance-installation Scratching On Things I Might Disavow (2007) and a lesson to be learned from paleolithic cave paintings (40,000–10,000 B.C.).

    Entomopolis, Contemporary Art, and John Dee: Erratic Speculations on the Art Contagion and Its Vectors Spurred by a Reading of RobertSmithson’s ‘Incidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan’2022In: Fidele Signaculum: Írások Szőnyi György Endre tiszteletére / Writings in Honour of György Endre Szőnyi, / [ed] Kiss Attila, Matuska Ágnes, Péter Róbert, Szeged: SZTE BTK Angol-Amerikai Intézet / University of Szeged, Institute of English and American Studies , 2022, p. 63-79Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Taking Robert Smithson’s seemingly whimsical question (Why should flies be without art?) in his Yucatan-essay seriously, I will attempt to delineate a possible logic of art in our immediate future. The prediction of this hypothesis states that the scientific as well as angelic practices of John Dee in the immediate future, and for all practical purposes, will be regarded as an artistic practice (as well). The argument follows two lines of thought. The first is the causal transformation of the art historical past from a necessary to a contingent state with the recent receptions of the practices of Hilma af Klint, Korbinian Aigner, and Maria Sibylla Merian. The second line is a re-interpretation of the Early Renaissance trompe-l’oeil flies (Petrus Christus, Carlo Crivelli) in the light of Robert Smithson’s essay and in Ilya Kabakov’s flies, identifying the musca domestica as the art vector carrying this contagion. This is a highly speculative essay, of course, but on the other hand: the hypothesis can be perfectly verified or falsified if (or if not) John Dee’s practice is exhibited as art before, say, 2030. And this property of the speculation comes from a third line of thought, namely that the intelligences with which John Dee, Hilma af Klint, Robert Smithson, and Walid Raad are communicating, speak to them in a perfective aspect of the future.

    Fountain, even2012In: The Beautiful, the useful, the necessary: International symposium, as part of the 300th anniversary of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels- founded in 1711, 2012Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    When the readymade emerged as the central category of the art object during the late sixties, and thenceforth changed the production of art fundamentally, The Fountain became, retrospectively, the prime object of reference. Art production of today can't be thought of without the notion of readymade deeply rooted in its very definition. It is thus curious, that the "unassisted readymade", of which Fountain is the parameter, is totally absent -- or rather: invisible -- in the arts from the 60s and onwards. The reason for this is, we believe, with the readymade as a mode in the production of art, follows, with necessity, the concept of fake. This case-study of Fountain will try to make this point.

    Abstract [da]

    Den 4. januar gik Pierre Pinocelli løs med en lille metalhammer på Marcel Duchamps Fountain i Centre Pompidou i Paris. Ikonoklasme, eller vandalisme af kunst, har altid eksisteret parallelt med kunst. Det skal derfor heller ikke forbavse os at det var en kunstner som gik løs på Fountain. Det er nemlig typisk kunstnere som vandaliserer andres kunst.
