Abstract

The text begins with etymological reflections on the term “art” in various European languages and its numerous connotations. Five main basic meanings of the notion of art are enumerated and described, such as: disposition for action, this very action, the realm of life consisting of some kind of actions, the rules of action, and the results of action. Subsequently, two main traditional purposes of artistic actions are indicated and characterized, which are beauty and reality. This pair of notions implies four kinds of artistic creation: aesthetic/anti-aesthetic mimetism/ antimimetism. The term of mimetism can be applied both to the imitation of nature, as well as to the imitation of preceding artists. In the latter interpretation, a different classification appears: classical/original mimetism/antimimetism. Next, Maria Gołaszewska’s definition of contemporary art is discussed in the light of previous analysis. In the conclusion of the essay the final characteristic of contemporary art is presented with a quote from Arthur Rimbaud’s poem, as “absolutely modern”.

Abstract

Remarkable contemporary Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari reveals a complicated post-war situation of multicultural society of the Middle East in the context of the Ottoman Empire. He compares his conceptual artistic practice to the work of the archaeologist on excavations. Being the artist-as-archivist, he recalls the European humanism in the heroic version of existentialism.

Religious Potential of Contemporary Art

Abstract

In this paper, the question of religious potential of contemporary art is posed only in relation to visual arts, which contain the concept of religious art. The difficulty in answering it stems from the lack of consensus on the relevant criteria for determining if a given work of art is a religious one. These criteria might include the author’s faith and the religious topic, the liturgical or devotional function, as well as a style that is capable of expressing the sacred. The issue of how these criteria function in contemporary art cannot be answered without taking a closer look at two moments essential for the development of religious art. The first was the Renaissance, when the aesthetic values of a work began to give way to theological determinants. The second was the nineteenth century with its attempts to create a new canon of religious art. Both of these critical moments in the development of sacred art show that the religious potential of art depends on the concomitance of many factors. The main problem is finding a new form, a new style able to express the sacred and engage in dialogue with contemporary art as once the icon would.

The Influence of Extended Contextual Information Provided in a Contemporary Art Gallery on Aesthetic Experience of Art Faculties Students

Abstract

We aimed to investigate whether educational activities in the form of guided tours through an exhibition change the appreciation of art when young experts (i.e. first-years students of artistic faculties) view contemporary art in a gallery. Participants viewed and assessed the artworks presented at the gallery twice – before and after taking part in a guided tour led by a gallery educator. The guide-led tour increased both understanding and ratings (the hedonic value) of the artworks, which is consistent with the “effort after meaning” hypothesis and also with the model of aesthetic appreciation and aesthetic judgments. Our results suggest that the reception of works of art by young experts is changed when they are under the influence of extensive contextual information.

Advantages of Being an Artist (from Central Europe)

Abstract

Fifty years after Linda Nochlin wrote her essay Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? female artists are still struggling with limitations, a weak position in the field of art and their own dependence on others. In the text I discuss selected works of artists from Central Europe, which indicate the gender and geographical dependencies prevailing in the Western art world. Such artists as Tanja Ostojić, Anetta Mona Chisa and Lucia Tkáčova, Agata Zbylut and Aneta Grzeszykowska use diversion and mimicry strategies in their art, and the artists themselves can be described as tricksters.

New Iconology: Dorota Masłowska’s allegorical videoclips

Abstract

This article contains analyses of the allegorical imagery in four video clips from Dorota Masłowska’s 2014 album Społeczeństwo jest niemiłe [Society is not nice], i.e. Żona piłkarza [Footballer’s wife], Ryszard [Richard], Prezydent [President] and Tęcza [Rainbow]. Each of them refers to an actual event, situation and character, described by means of stereotype word labels. The characters typify both the behaviour associated with certain social groups as well as some more persistent traits attributed to the Polish nation and Poland in general. The article examines the strategies and devices (parody, pastiche, irony, allusion) used by Dorota Masłowska to embed the intense specificity of her video stories in more general, allegorical narratives.
