- 64. Your participation How can we talk about art?
- 65. Discussion about art Form vs. Content
- 66. Form vs. Content
- 67. Formalism The artwork should be enjoyed for its formal qualities (e.g. composition, material, shape, line, colour) rather than its representation of a figure, story, nature or idea.
- 68. Medium specificity The medium, material and the application of the medium, material determine the unique artistic qualities of the artworks.
- 69. Form vs. Content
- 70. Iconography Iconography works to retrieve the symbolic and representational meanings contained in the works of art.
- 71. Iconographic questions What does the artwork represent? Who are these figures? How did you identify them? How is the artist’s depiction of the subject similar to or different from other artists’ depictions at the time this was made, or at different times?
- 72. Semiotics Study of sign Signifier (symbol) vs. signified (thing) Representamen (form) vs. interpretant (sense) vs. object (thing) Symbol (arbitrary) vs. icon (resembling) vs. index (connected)
- 73. Semiotic questions What part of the image catches your eye first? What are the denotative and connotative aspects of the image? How do materials and techniques signify meaning in the work?
- 74. Anything else other than form and content?
- 75. Materialist Materialist art history has focused not on iconography or stylistic classification, but rather on art’s modes of production – that is, it focuses on the labour that produces art and the organisation of that labour. Art is the product of complex social, political, and economic relationships, not something labeled “artistic genius.”
- 76. Materialistic questions Who was the patron? What was her social and economic status? What was the social status of artist-and that of the artists in society at this time? How did the artist receive the assignment from the patron? Where was the artwork displayed? Who saw it?
- 77. Extended Context/Extended Media Form vs. Content vs. Context
- 78. Does it matter if the artist is female, male or transgender?
- 79. Did the artist presume the sexual orientation of the viewers?
- 80. How does nationality facilitate and hinder the artist?
- 81. How would the artwork shape the viewers’ sense of self and others?
- 82. Does the exhibition location matter?
- 83. About us Interpretation on the part of the image make must always be matched by the interpretation of the viewer. No image tells its own story. Ernst Gombrich (1982)
- 84. About context I am not an artist any more. I am a content provider. Laurie Anderson
- 85. Extended Context/Extended Media The public’s experience of the biennale phenomenon has developed from viewing to participation, giving rise to a marked shift, in some instances, in the role of the artist from object- maker to service provider. Claire Doherty
