artsacreProgressivement, sous la nécessité religieuse des épreuves subies lors du mouvement de la Réforme protestante et, aussi, sous l’influence des formes nouvelles de l’architecture et du décor, nées de la Renaissance, l’organisation interne de beaucoup d’édifices religieux a été amenée à de profondes mutations. La Contre-Réforme en fut un moteur puissant, qui n’aurait cependant pas abouti si, localement, les initiatives conjointes des institutions religieuses et des groupes de fidèles n’avaient pas su trouver et utiliser les capacités des hommes de l’art, architectes, sculpteurs, peintres . . . → En lire plus

Conveners: Dr. Daniel Blanga-Gubbay / Dr. Elisabeth Ruchaud. @ Graduiertenkolleg Materialität und Produktion, [GRK1678] Heinrich-Heine-Universität, Düsseldorf

In ordinary terms, the word production refers to an act of creation and its result, or to a process at the end of which there is a materialisation of some kind, or to the act of making something present. By productively interfering with this common idea of production we would like to work towards establishing different ways of thinking about this concept. Distraction and . . . → En lire plus

Poétique de la coulure

Il aura fallu attendre l’expressionisme abstrait des peintres américains pour revoir apparaître la coulure dans les images. Cy Twombly, Brice Marden, Morris Louis, en libérant le geste pictural des entraves dictées par les règles du passé, ont donné libre cours, sous des formes à chaque fois diverses et singulières, aux écoulements de peinture. Jackson Pollock en a même fait un motif original avec lequel sa peinture à par la suite été décrite. Le fameux « dripping . . . → En lire plus

Dolls and Puppets as Artistic and Cultural Phenomenon

The presence of dolls and puppets has been a constant feature of life throughout the history of humankind. The use and perception of dolls and puppets reflects people’s attitudes towards the world and other people as well as spiritual concerns. In academic discussions this phenomenon is usually treated in relative isolation. Theatre historians have their own vision of the history of dolls and puppets, as do art historians, ethnologists, film connoisseurs and historians of literature. These various views do not, unfortunately, often enter into direct dialogue. The main aim . . . → En lire plus
