I'm a prof and I was looking for a video to share with my students. I feel like I searched for a thousand years until I finally found something succinct, clear, and still engaging. THAAANNNNKKKK YOU
Hello Carlita- I only dare to write this because Karin has been out of youtube for a while and is pursuing her dream with her brand (bravo Karin!!!). Otherwise, I would never dare! I am also an art history teacher and I have a youtube channel where I talk about art history in a fun and engaging way...Just in case it helps out for your lessons and you can combine both channels as resources!
Perfect! I took art history a little over 10 years ago while I was working on my BA in Fine Arts Visual Arts Computer Arts. This video is helps me prepare for Grad School. Obtaining a MFA in Fine Arts Visual Arts Interdisciplinary Media Arts and Animation is a little stressful at my age.
Interestingly Jacques Ranciere argues that modernism isn't a break with the past, but a breaking down of the hierarchy of genres that defined pre-modern art. Painters can paint rock-breakers or funeral goers with the same dramatic weight as paintings of Napeoleon or Mars. No subject is too ordinary.
thanks . . . that was very succinct . . . also, just as an aside, I love the arrangement of books and objects in the shelves behind you . . . lent some contextual modernism to your talk . . . :)
، كمدخل لفهم مفهوم الحداثة: ممتاز جدا، أتمنىأان يكتشف المثقفون العرب نظرة مختصرة أولية حول مفهوم الحداثة. لكن ما معهنى الحداثية؟ - and What about Modernissim? See Vladimir Jankélivitch-
This is horribly wrong. She said modernity was modernism in the beggining and then said whereas modernity was something different. Huh? Did she mean to say modernism in the beggining and made a mistake? This makes it sound like they're the same thing.
100 years after the European Avant Gardes (and less publicized ones taking place in locations outside Western Europe) it is time to update the definition. Modernity is 'the modern', the new, as described, put towards the betterment of local, social life. It is humanism today. The Renaissance artists and thinkers were already 'modern'. As world Bankers, the Medici were already Modernist. Modernism, on the other hand, is best exmplified by the reduction of everything to 'degree zero'. The rise of modernism finally arrived with WWI and turning the machine into machines for killing; aerial bombardment; poison gas; and all that the Nazis would develop in the next two decades, including: the Panzer, the Messerschmitt, and the nuclear bomb. Modernism ismthe Final Solution, the Soviet concentration camps, the Killing Fields of Cambodia. However, after the wars, in democratic countries, Modernism turned corporate and become the force of globalization (Bretton Woods). Modernism I now interpret as meaning: The Bottom Line. The rise of the corporation to dominate democratic government. Modernism today is the force wagging the dog. We can see it in urbanism. The construction of Towers and Subways that decimated Greenwich Village in the 1890-1930 decades, for example. Or has made house prices in Vancouver today higher than in New York City. Modernism today is the financialization of everything. The reduction of everything to a dollar cipher. From values of community and values of place, to schools, parks and neighborhoods. Institutions, businesses, and jobs. Governments no longer are investing in the people. In places with runaway land price inflation governments stand idle as the profits flow to the 0.01% while government devices tricky formulae to extract their share of the 'kill' (i.e. corporate profits). I very much hope to see a return to the modern, as we pull away the mask of Modernism and see 'Saturn Devouring His Son' (Francisco Goya, 1819-1823). There is nothing more Modernist (=modernism) that the Napoleonic Armies invading Europe. There is nothing more modern than Modernity... human scale urbanism, built sustainably in the local vernacular, from renewable materials. Modernism = global chain restaurants... Modernity = mom-and-pop shops. Another way to see the difference is to look at it in terms of capital. Modernism is global capital, swooping in for the kill by backing a local mega project, then leaving just as quickly, to settle on another high-return scheme somewhere else. Typically on the other side of the globe. Modernity is local capital, invested in place, credit unions, local banks, housing, roads, light rail, that sticks around to grow at the same rate as wealth accrues to communities.
+Little Art Talks well it's hard for me to answer because I don't know what you like But you could talk more about art books there's a ton of them out there
