Fractured Photography
(2023)
author(s): Hilde Hovland Honerud, Jon Hovland Honerud
published in: Journal for Artistic Research
Is it possible to communicate through photography about people in distress? Through this exposition we approach such issues as media imagery and image fatigue, photography of ‘the other’, the privileged position, significant encounters, and reciprocity. We also show how commitment to social issues may relate to such an artistic process as both starting point and outcome. Finally, as this process was a collaboration between art and social science, we explore the roles and processes of such a collaboration, and exhibit the outcomes of the artistic process both as art and as a form of data for academic inquiry.
London Series and Landscapes
(2022)
author(s): Ed Crooks
published in: Research Catalogue
I shot the short film Landscapes early in 1997. Starting in 1996 and continuing into 1998 I took series of photographs with a similar method and aesthetic to the film. Both the film and the photographs, which are featured in this documentation, are based on walks through areas of central London.
Not Even the Dead Will Survive
(2020)
author(s): Adria Julia
published in: Research Catalogue
The Pinacoteca de São Paulo museum, managed by the State of São Paulo Culture and Creative Economy Department, presents from October 26, 2019, to February 16, 2020, the show Adrià Julià: Nem mesmo os mortos sobreviverão [Not Even the Dead Will Survive] — the first solo exhibition of the artist, born in Barcelona in 1974, to be held in Brazil. The show is curated by Fernanda Pitta, the museum’s curator, and artworks will be displayed on the courtyard and in two rooms adjoining the long-term exhibition of Pinacoteca’s collection, on the second floor of the museum building. The works call into question the implications of the techniques of replication, printing and authentication that directed the flow of images in the early days of photography.
Tracing Rhythm
(last edited: 2023)
author(s): Geir Harald Samuelsen
This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Rhythm is everywhere. It is breathing and beating hearts; it is the sound of a drum and the repetitive carved lines in stone done by a prehistoric human being. It is the flickering screen and a million digital processes too small to see. It is engraved in the depth of our minds and bodies. It is remembering.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, rhythm (Greek rhythmos, derived from rhein, “to flow”) is an ordered alternation of contrasting elements, and according to Roland Barthes both painting and writing started with the same gesture, one which was neither figurative nor semantic, but simply rhythmic.
In this exposition we are approaching rhythm through contemporary artistic and archaeological gestures, starting with some engraved and painted lines drawn by our stone age ancestors in France and South Africa.
The participants are all from the artisitc research project: Matter, Gesture and Soul, which is based at the Art Academy in Bergen.
Photography and Designed Space: A Shift in Perspective
(last edited: 2022)
author(s): Ana Miriam Rebelo
This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Acknowledging the historical dominance of architectural imagery by objective, disembodied approaches and its influence in our understanding of designed space as well as architectural practice itself, the paper addresses the need for a different perspective.
Within the phenomenological approach to designed spaces, this paper interrogates the role of photography in reflecting designed spaces as embodied, humanised
environments, where reality takes place. The writings of Pallasmaa, Zumthor and Böhme support the theoretical framework of discussing photography’s contribution to an understanding of built environments as places for embodied experience. The works of Rut Blees Luxemburg and Guy Tillim, two contemporary photographers, are examined as examples of perspectives in which the representation of atmospheres is central to the reflection on built environments as a multisensory perceptive experience.
This paper was presented at the International Conference on Design History and Studies 2018 and published in the proceedings book.
