Contemporary Art in Context Lecture Series (Year 2)

Lecture 1)  - Last year we explored the three-part Kantian distinction the art.
This year we will be looking at the relationship between design and thinking. Tensions and overlaps between art and design, and the current cultural discussions around the same. These lectures will both be in terms of practice but also in terms of how the education of this art has developed. Art and design has only really been adapted into the university curriculum since the 1960s, the system upon which it is based now (which includes polytechnics technical colleges and so on, which were all materials based and focused), are since 1992 all now contained within a single university standard.

Lectures will employ images as active arguments for practice orientated art we will ask the question what is practice-based research or example how is an exhibition, film, video performance, the equivalent of writing a 70,000 word doctoral thesis?

In 1992, all the university, polytechnics and technical College learning streams of art were combined and renamed as a single collective of "the visual arts".

In said that a design practice is a very logical, real world, Ocean. Whereas art goes another way into completely philosophical areas and cultural recording amongst others.

2). Next weeks' Lecture, will be on interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, multiplicity and pluralism.
This will discuss how the roles of an artist are now many up an example collaborative practice requires completely different skills to those used by artists of say 100 years ago. A great art educator Boris the in the 1950s and 19 these described this change of roles following titles: interdisciplinary means a combination of people with differing skills but demarcated activities
Burns disciplinary means a much further sharing of skills and studies an example of this can be found in Prof Scholes's work of this university
multiplicity means that one artist is dissolved into having many skills.
And finally pluralism means that artists are now listening to many voices which can influence and describe the versions of truth and experiences of the single artist alone.

Finally this lecture will explore the experiential forms annoying as argument or example the works of John Dewey the art of experience and of Morris Veitts & Gilles Deleauz.

3). That lecture will discuss the context and histories of art and design education this will look at two institutions on American (Black Mountain College) and one German institution (Bauhaus). We will explore how Black Mountain College has had a stronger influence in art, whereas the Bauhaus has influenced the architecture and graphics design stream of art both colleges have developed John Dewey's themes. For example a strong craft-based education runs through both establishments

4) this lecture is entitled to it of knowing. Can Art & Design be Taught?
This lecture will trace the ideas of the material versus the experiential styles of education artistic and design concepts are complicated.  How can a subjugated response be given to a research-based practice?

5). Problem of research in art and design as discussed here is to Christopher Frayling, who was director of the Royal College of Arts, who puts a grounding argument based on stereotypes, but 'Hollywood cliche academics' versus 'slick designers' are at least distinguished, in the types of artistic research.  Herbert Reid is one who also should be reviewed and says the whole problem helps to drive the core of "research for art" etc in the terms of legitimization. This touches on the concept of ineffability (something that cannot be captured in words) which in itself is another style of critique.

6). The art orientated critique of application design and a generic research describes methods of art orientated in context (this is a second wave of piece-based research).

7). The remaining three lectures of the series will discuss art of error modernism and material practice with respect to the Russian avant-garde and the Italian avant-garde. Another lectures will discuss the actor network theory and mode to research, Hank Borgdorf is working and defining the work of Bruno Latours earlier work regarding practice-based research of object orientated research.
And the final lecture will be a discourse of objects in art, design, curators and research. This is considered as post-human design.

10). A final lecture will provide a summary of understanding the effective turn in educational and research contexts.
