The Art History Association presents: A Multitude of Images A lecture on contemporary photomontage practices David Joselit, Distinguished Professor of Art History, CUNY Graduate Center Date: Thursday, February 27 Time: 7:00-8:30 p.m. Place: Lecture Center 104 Free and open to all Questions? E-mail np.arthistoryassociation@gmail.com Follow the Art History Association on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SUNYNPAHA Abstract: Departing from the proposition that modern art arises out of and responds to a population explosion of images, this lecture will offer an account of photomontage as a fundamental aesthetic technique that for nearly a century has managed such a “multitude.” Whereas artists associated with the invention of photomontage c. 1919, such as Hannah Höch, created works in which diverse images collide, contemporary practices of montage as exemplified by Rachel Harrison’s 2010 photo book, Abraham Lincoln, emphasize what a diverse population of images hold in common rather than their differences. An account of this transformation in montage suggests a shift in art’s politics toward what Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, among others, have theorized as the multitude.

neo-materialism and design

Neo-Materialism. “Over the last four decades we have witnessed dematerialisation in various fields: money became credit, brand names became more important than products, art became concept, and our lives moved, at least partially, online. We are now witnessing a growing interest in “thingness” (a term referring to objects that have physical presence, create an emotional response and have a connection to the place they were made). Artists, designers and consumers are seeking a more tangible appreciation of the world around them.” -WGSN So in layman’s terms, not necessarily a shift from digital design to real world objects but certainly a ‘look and feel’ that represents this. We will be seeing more ‘real-world’ design but digital design will also look more ‘realistic’. http://d5media.co.uk/design-trends/design-trends-keep-eye/

Robert Morris, 'Anti Form' (1968)

"Considerations of ordering are necessarily causal and imprecise and unemphasized. Random piling, loose stacking, hanging, give passing form to the material. Chance is accepted and indeterminacy is implied since replacing will result in another configuration. Disengagement with preconceived enduring forms and orders for things is a positive assertion. It is part of the work's refusal to
continue aestheticizing form by dealing with it as a prescribed end." -Robert Morris, 'Anti Form' (1968)
