Warhol TV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V69IJ962Q4g

http://www.vernissage.tv | Until the 3rd May, La Maison Rouge in Paris presents an exhibition about Andy Warhol's ventures in the world of television: Warhol TV. Curated by Judith Benhamou-Huet, the show zaps through Andy Warhol's TV universe. For Andy Warhol, television was an ideal tool for artistic, social, and self-promotion. As early as 1964 Andy Warhol made an imitation soap opera. At the beginning of the 70s, Warhol played around at producing telenovelas that were the reflection of his aesthetic and fantastical universe. In 1979 Andy Warhol put together a small team who were in charge of creating TV programs to be aired on the brand-new New York Cable. They created Fashion, a talk show devoted to the world of fashion, followed by Andy Warhol's TV, a Factory style reality-TV show, before producing the famous Andy Warhol's fifteen minutes, inspired by his renowned quote on the subject of fame. In 1987, the TV broadcast of Andy Warhol's funeral service became the tragic final chapter in the life of Andy Warhol. In this video, curator Judith Benhamou-Huet talks about the concept of the show and Warhol's love for television. Video by Christophe Ecoffet. February 17, 2009.

Vietnam Voices

Viet Nam Voices – Australians and the Vietnam War, is an exhibition that gives voice to the hidden lives and experiences of ordinary people during extraordinary times.

Using art created by Australian and Vietnamese war veterans, anti war protesters, and soldiers from both North and South Viet Nam, Viet Nam Voices is a deeply moving and delicate journey through personal and unofficial histories of the war and its effects on Australians. Each of the hundreds of works on exhibition is by someone who has been touched by the Vietnam War.

Hundreds of personal photographs from the private albums of Viet Nam veterans and their families, as well as drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures, costumes, home movies and propaganda posters from private and public art collections Australia and Viet Nam will feature in the exhibition. All material in the exhibition has been sourced from within Australia.

Mezzotints - Adelaide

Anna Austin, a visual arts graduate from TafeSA’s Adelaide Centre for the Arts, will be presenting an evocative collection of mezzotint prints at the Prospect Gallery in February.

Aptly titled Collection, this will be Anna’s first solo exhibition, referencing Anna’s personal experiences, symbolism and childhood memories, exploring the idea that pieces of art can be fluid and evolve over time.

Mezzotinting is the most physically demanding and labour intensive form of printmaking, Anna being one of only a handful of contemporary Australian artists whose printmaking focuses entirely on mezzotints.

Kunstgeschichte - Art Journal

Conceived as a forum for the entire discipline, its first edition covers a range of subjects: Italian Romanesque architecture, a critical opinion on Old Masters’ exhibitions led by connoisseurship, French and German 19^th century painting, Ed Ruscha’s photography, as well as installation art by Paul Thek. One paper investigates the potential of Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of perception for the visual studies; another describes in terms of system theory the museum as a place of learning and experience.

Besides publishing new and innovative research, the journal offers a forum for the reassessment of elder scholarly literature, i.e. texts that initially did not meet with the reception they deserved, or those that offer new perspectives today. The rubric ›Reconsidered‹ starts off with Heinrich Wölfflin's Prolegomena zu einer Psychologie der Architektur of 1886. His analogy between the human body and architectural form may be of interest to modern art history, which places the body at the center of its interest. Also, the ›spatial turn‹ might profitably relate to this short text.

Under the rubric ›Theses and Points of View‹, Kunstgeschichte. Open Peer Reviewed Journal wishes to give space for debates, particularly on the current status of art history and on perspectives for its future development. To begin with, we will soon publish the contributions to the panel on the »Historiography of Art History«, which will be held on the occasion of the 30th Deutscher Kunsthistorikertag (Biannual German Art History Convention) in Marburg on March 27, 2009.

Kunstgeschichte. Open Peer Reviewed Journal is committed to the principles of public peer review. Papers submitted to the e-journal are first put up as ›Discussion Papers‹ for public peer assessment over a period of six months. After this stage, the authors have the option of revising their work according to the public comments. Only then will the definitive papers be published as ›Journal Articles‹. By proceeding thus we capitalize on the specific possibilities of the internet: It allows scholars to interact immediately, and to contribute comments, criticism, and additional information online to the papers published in Kunstgeschichte. Open Peer Reviewed Journal. We would like to underline that all comments will be furnished with a proper URL so as to be citable as independent publications.

Finally, the format of online publishing gives readers different kinds of access to the papers: searches may be conducted by authors, epochs, sort of text, or publication date. Moreover, the journal offers full-text search, i.e. the search by names or keywords.

We wish you exciting and inspiring readings, and we look forward to your suggestions, wishes, and comments.
