WHAT IS ART?

Vocabulary words: Week 1-2 Contemporary Art Description Interpretation Medium/media Form / Formal elements / Elements of composition Context Content Concept Subject Subject matter Modern art (modernism) Behavioral theory of art Instrumental theory of art Institutional definition of art (George Dickie) Aesthetics

Let’s look at ART through 3 different lenses: 1. Behavioral / Anthropological perspective: - What kind of behavior is art making? - Is art necessary? Suggested additional reading: Ellen Dissanayake 2. Socio-cultural / Instrumental perspective: - What is art for? - Does contemporary art have a purpose, role, responsibility? Suggested additional reading: Arthur Danto 3. Philosophical perspective: -What role does beauty play in contemporary art? Does a work of art need to be beautiful?  Aesthetics - Why is something considered as art while other things may not? -What is the basis of value judgment? (E.g. “beautiful art” or “good art”) Who can make it?

BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVE: What kind of a behavior is art making? Why do we do it? INSTRUMENTAL * PERSPECTIVE: What is art being used for? Why do we look at it? *instrumental = a tool for …

What kind of a behavior is art making?

Non-utilitarian purpose Exploration, innovation (curiosity, creativity) Play? Problem solving? Transcending “normal” modes of operation, seeking novelty and chaos Special kind of experience, heightened experience of being (achievement, catharsis, revelation) Creating an alternative reality “Flow” experience: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Watch at home: FLOWWatch at home: FLOW (Csikszentmihalyi’s talk on TED) Consider relationship between - skill (experience and ability to solve the problem / accomplish the task) and - challenge (novelty, innovation, investment)

Why do we do it?

Pedro Reyes: Palas por Pistolas (Shovels for Guns)

What is it being used for? Why do we look at it? Visual pleasure, beauty?  Expectations toward art? - Being - a “mirror” - reflection/representation of reality ? - a “window” ? - an “alternative” to our reality? Art’s role for: - Individual (Art as an agent of consciousness, morality, empathy, enlightenment, transformation, pleasure, …) - Community, society (“art that does something other than sits on its … in a museum” Claes Oldenburg) - Culture/cultural history (artifact)
