Abstract

The Réseau Art Nouveau Network (RANN) was initiated in 1999 by the Brussels-Capital Region. It is now an association comprising around twenty European regions and cities whose collective aim is to preserve, study and promote their exceptional shared heritage. From 2010 to 2015, the Network focused on the theme of 'Art Nouveau and Ecology', within the framework of a new project sponsored by the European Commission's Culture Programme. The aim behind the project was to return to the origins of the movement, whilst establishing its connections with the 21st century. In the latter half of the 19th century, scientific discoveries like that of the microscope allowed living organisms to be examined in minute detail. This enabled artists to reconnect with nature and paved the way for major works such as those by Ernst Haeckel and Karl Blossfeldt. These publications offered the artists of that time an unprecented repertoire of new forms. The enthusiasm aroused by Japanese art and its poetic interpretation of natural forms likewise played a key role in this artistic resurgence. The inexhaustible source of inspiration represented by the natural world during the European Art Nouveau movement was the central theme of the Réseau Art Nouveau Network's fourth project. An international symposium entitled "The Perception of Art Nouveau', which was held in Brussels in 2010, provided a frame of reference for these five years of work. "The Nature of Art Nouveau", a touring exhibition featuring images reflecting the wealth of the Network partner's heritage, travelled to some fifteen different cities. In addition to these events, five historical laboratories were established to carry out research into the links between Art Nouveau and nature. In collaboration with environmental specialists, the participants also studied ARt Nouveau artists within the context of their natural environment. This publication, which presents a selection of texts from different conferences, serves as a conclusion to a project rich in exchanges and events. Of interest to specialists and the general public alike, its programme of activities has helped to preserve and emphasise the culltural value and European dimension of this legacy.

Abstract

They obsess over the nuances of a Douglas Sirk or Ingmar Bergman film; they revel in books such as Franois Truffaut's Hitchcock; they happily subscribe to the Sundance Channel-they are the rare breed known as cinephiles. Though much has been made of the classic era of cinephilia from the 1950s to the 1970s, Cinephilia documents the latest generation of cinephiles and their use of new technologies. With the advent of home theaters, digital recording devices, online film communities, cinephiles today pursue their dedication to film outside of institutional settings. A radical new history of film culture, Cinephilia breaks new ground for students and scholars alike.

In dit rapport beschrijven de onderzoekers de beroepspraktijk van drie generaties afgestudeerden van beeldende kunstopleidingen in Nederland en Vlaanderen. Deze praktijk blijkt in toenemende mate in het teken te staan van een hybride vermenging van autonome en toegepaste artistieke werkzaamheden. (Bron: website BAM)

Abstract

Filmmaker, film essayist, installation artist, writer: the Berlin artist Harun Farocki has devoted his life to the power of images. Over the thirty-plus years of his career, Farocki has explored not the images of life but rather the life of images that surrounds us in newspapers, cinema, books, television, and advertising. Harun Farocki examines, from different critical perspectives, his vast oeuvre, which includes three feature films, critical media pieces, children's television features, 'learning films' in the tradition of Brecht, and installation pieces. Interviews, a selection of Farocki's own writings, and an annotated filmography complete a valuable biography of this pioneering artist and his legendary career.

Abstract

Witte onschuld is de geactualiseerde uitgave van White Innocence (2016), waarin Gloria Wekker een centrale paradox in de Nederlandse cultuur onderzoekt en beschrijft: de passie en agressie die ras oproept, terwijl het bestaan van ras en racisme tegelijkertijd in alle toonaarden wordt ontkend. In de verkenning van de werking van ras en racisme in Nederland is het 'culturele archief' voor Wekker een leidend concept: de diep ingesleten attitudes en emoties die racisme in stand houden en hun oorsprong kennen in het koloniale verleden. Wekker beschrijft in dit gezaghebbende boek onder andere hoe media de beeldvorming over zwarte mannen en vrouwen bepalen, en schrijft over het gebrek aan kennis over ras in de Nederlandse academie, de hedendaagse conservatieve politiek en de controversen rondom het Zwarte Piet-debat, Artikel1 en Sylvana Simons. Ook blikt ze terug op de ontvangst van haar Engelstalige boek in de Nederlandse media.

Abstract

Black Film British Cinema II considers the politics of blackness in contemporary British cinema and visual practice. This second iteration of Black Film British Cinema, marking over 30 years since the ground-breaking ICA Documents 7 publication in 1988, continues this investigation by offering a crucial contemporary consideration of the textual, institutional, cultural and political shifts that have occurred from this period. It focuses on the practices, values and networks of collaborations that have shaped the development of black film culture and representation. But what is black British film? How do such films, however defined, produce meaning through visual culture, and what are the political, social and aesthetic motivations and effects? How are the new forms of black British film facilitating new modes of representation, authorship and exhibition? Explored in the context of film aesthetics, curatorship, exhibition and arts practice, and the politics of diversity policy, Black Film British Cinema II provides the platform for new scholars, thinkers and practitioners to coalesce on these central questions. It is explicitly interdisciplinary, operating at the intersections of film studies, media and communications, sociology, politics and cultural studies. Through a diverse range of perspectives and theoretical interventions that offer a combination of traditional chapters, long-form essays, shorter think pieces, and critical dialogues, Black Film British Cinema II is a comprehensive, sustained, wide ranging collection that offers new framework for understanding contemporary black film practices and the cultural and creative dimensions that shape the making of blackness and race.
