Displacing as a method: On ‘Displacing Caravaggio’ and ‘Dance of Values’

December 11, 2020/in Autumn 2020_#Method, Book Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Two books with very different contents, languages, and structures published between 2018 and 2019 convey through their respective arguments how displacing might serve as a method for investigating new and heterodox forms of remediation and montage. Both books offer the possibility to cross new terrains of interdisciplinary migration, unexpected ‘adaptations’, and new ways of displacing […]

Pinpointing the ‘cinematic’ in twenty-first century art: ‘Dreamlands’ / ‘On Desire’

December 21, 2019/in Autumn 2019_#Gesture, Book Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

As audiovisual practices become increasingly multiplied and complex − from the omnipresence of (multi-)screens to the overstimulation of digital technologies − art is more sociopolitically-oriented than ever and, conversely, society acquires an aestheticised bias. Cinema still plays an important role in the current media landscape, but it is increasingly pervaded by other art forms and […]

Reflections on Montreal’s Elektra festival, its twentieth edition, and the exhibition of digital media art

December 21, 2019/in Autumn 2019_#Gesture, Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

In ELEKTRA’s own words, the digital art festival has been ‘helping audiences explore the diversity of performance practices, particularly audiovisual and robotics, since 1999’ and takes place over six days and nights in selected venues across Montreal. While the festival has become an important place to experience digital art in Montreal, it also functions as […]

Nothing to Write Home About

Form and feeling: Kinaesthetic Knowing / Artificial Darkness

November 23, 2018/in Autumn 2018_#Mapping, Book Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Formalism, as a term in the criticism of visual art, might be defined thus: as the conviction that forms contain their own syntax which acts on the spectator more or less directly. Further, the formalist maintains that experience of form is aesthetic experience; its effect is something called aesthetic emotion. And its opposite is not […]

Nothing Stable under Heaven at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

November 23, 2018/in Autumn 2018_#Mapping, Exhibition Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

At its best, it is carefully-constructed chaos. At its worst, it is equally chaotic but less carefully constructed. Nothing Stable under Heaven (https://www.sfmoma.org/exhibition/nothing-stable-under-heaven/) is an exhibition that bombards you from all angles as it forces you to juggle different and sometimes jumbled social issues and themes. Running at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art […]

Archives of the present − memory work in the making: ‘Transmission from the Liberated Zones’ (Filipa César, 2015)

May 28, 2017/in Exhibition Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2017_#True /by Greg DeCuir

National libraries, museums, and archives are potential sites for knowledge production and shared memory work, but they tend also to be monuments of state power, of selection and exclusion. Film and moving images have always played a formative role in cultural commemoration, and the resistance of cinematic counter-memories has also famously illuminated the critical potential […]

A place between desire and experience: Afterthoughts on Carolee Schneemann: Kinetic Painting

December 5, 2016/in Autumn 2016_#Home, Exhibition Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

‘I want the evocation of space, a place between desire and experience.’ This calls forth from a screen suspended in the Museum der Moderne, Salzburg on the occasion of the exhibition Carolee Schneemann: Kinetic Painting. Playing onscreen is the footage of Carolee Schneemann’s performance Meat Joy (1964), in which Schneemann’s declaration forms part of the […]

For here there is no place that does not see you: ‘Minority Report’ and art as de/legitimisation

December 4, 2016/in Autumn 2016_#Home, Features /by Greg DeCuir

by Josef Früchtl (1) Rainer Maria Rilke’s Archaic Torso of Apollo is probably one of the most famous poems in the German language, with its last lines being two of the most quoted by lovers of literature everywhere. In this lyrical report the torso no longer has a head. As museum visitors we can no […]

July 11, 2016/in Exhibition Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2016_'Small data' /by Greg DeCuir

For the past couple of years South Korean artist Yuri An has been producing a compelling body of work which closely relates poetry, moving (and to a lesser extent still) images, and a series of self-published books which feature her writing. In 2015 she was a recipient of the Seoul Museum of Art award for […]
