We used to put these photos into albums or just kept them in boxes without specific orders, and we only opened up these personal archives when we wanted to share our memories and stories with family members or close friends. These common habits regarding how we take and share private photos have changed a lot due to the digital turn, the increasing number of digital cameras, and the broadening usage of the Internet and social media platforms. Archives are often places of safeguarding memories, places that make us remember and places of preservation. However, in recent years, the questions related to them and the archiving methods are mostly focused on how digitization has transformed them. The varying ways and effects of technical image usage caused by the technological boom are some of the most characteristic and defining elements of our times. In my paper titled Our Photographs, Old and New, I examine — through a contemporary artwork by Gergely Barcza — how private photography practices and private photo archives have changed in the last decades.","PeriodicalId":41082,"journal":{"name":"Zivot Umjetnosti","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69467132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focal point of the paper is the personal photographic archive of Miroslav Zdovc (1929–2009), a prominent Slovenian professional photographer as well as an artist using photography who, however, did not receive a deserved place in local and regional history of photography and art. Therefore, his extensive body of work that has nearly disappeared from the public eye is now in the process of being reviewed and re-evaluated. His extensive archive consists of diverse materials: personal imagery, documentary photographs, documents of artworks, and (his own) photographic artworks. The paper thus presents the project in the making in which the curators of Božidar Jakac Gallery – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Kostanjevica na Krki have been conducting the process of cataloguing, evaluating and finally showcasing his immense body of work. It also brings forward the most significant elements of his artistic practice that spanned from the 1950s to the 1990s, and which was changing and developing in accordance with the concurrent tendencies in photography and art.","PeriodicalId":41082,"journal":{"name":"Zivot Umjetnosti","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69467184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uvažavajući interpretaciju Williama J. T. Mitchella o Burkeovu razlikovanju umjetničkog i političkog uzvišenog, analizira se revolucionarni potencijal djelovanja slika odnosno njegov izostanak. Medijske slike sadrže jasan ikonografski obrazac koji uključuje temeljne Burkeove karakteristike uzvišenog: mračne su i opskurne te utjelovljuju najsnažniji od svih strahova — strah od smrti. Analiza umjetničkih slika pokazuje dominaciju lišavanja kao još jednog važnog aspekta uzvišenog, a stvara osjećaj usamljenosti i tišine. Metaforički jezik diskursa koji prati pandemiju pojačava paralizirajući učinak medijskih i umjetničkih slika, stvarajući mentalne slike virusa kao subjekta koji napada, širi se, prijeti… Slike su sveprisutne i izložene konzumiranju, pojedinci ne okreću glavu od prikazanih užasa, već doživljavaju empatiju koju Burke smatra ključnom za integraciju u društvo. Istodobno, društvo se lišava političkog potencijala kroz fragmentaciju u niz izoliranih jedinki koje komuniciraju posredstvom tehnologije.","PeriodicalId":41082,"journal":{"name":"Zivot Umjetnosti","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69466254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kockice) u Zagrebu građene od 1961. do 1968. predstavljaju monumentalan primjer povezivanja arhitekture, dizajna i likovne umjetnosti u kontekstu narudžbe na republičkoj razini vlasti. Na prijedlog arhitekta Ivana Vitića, uz konzultanta likovne opreme Raula Goldonija, arhitektura Kockice upotpunjena je djelima renomiranih umjetnika: Jagode Buić, Dušana Džamonje, Raula Goldonija, Stevana Luketića, Ede Murtića i Zlatka Price. Nastavljajući se na svoja dotadašnja ostvarenja, umjetnici su ostvarili djela apstraktnoga likovnog izraza, koji je vlast samo nekoliko godina prije javno i institucionalno odbacivala. Umjetnička djela u interijeru Kockice tako su predstavljala ne samo umjetničke dosege na razini pojedinih opusa umjetnika, koji su do 1968. već bili sudjelovali u realizaciji mnogih rješenja za interijere javnih ustanova, nego su u zgradi od najvišeg političkog značenja u SR Hrvatskoj, odnosno u sjedištu CK SKH-a potvrdile i službeni stav vlasti prema slobodi umjetničkog izraza, afirmirajući apstraktni likovni izraz i ideju sinteze svih umjetnosti.

It acknowledges the fact that \"utopia\" and \"dystopia\" are originally terms from literary theory that refer to specific literary genres. In the light of a recent crossover of the term \"dystopian\" into the vocabulary of art criticism (exhibition reviews and catalogues), as well as a current curatorial fashion of devising exhibitions on the basis of binary opposites of \"utopian\" and \"dystopian\", the paper aims to define the range of meanings, connotations and denotations of the terms \"utopian\" and \"dystopian\" in visual arts, by means of discussing the particular contexts in which they are used. The use of the term \"dystopian\" is discussed in the context of the following artists: Alexis Rockman, Michael Kerbow, Fabrice Monteiro, Kushal Tikle, Alice Tye, Jon Rafman, as well as in the context of Croatian artists Jasenko Rasol and Sebastijan Dračić. The term \"utopian\" is discussed in the context of theoretical discussions about avant-garde art, the socially engaged artistic actions of artists from the second half of the 20th century (in particular, Joseph Beuys), as well as in the context of Croatian art, specifically of Ivan Rabuzin's paintings. The paper argues that, though the terms \"utopian\" and \"dystopian\" are transmedia terms, their range of meaning differs in relation to a particular kind of art they refer to. During the approximately last one hundred years, the term \"utopian\" has been used in theoretical considerations as a means of describing art movements, practices and works. Sometimes it refers to a specific artistic principle, that is, an \"impulse\" or intention of art that implies a desire for social change through art; at other times, it refers to the visual aspect of an artwork, implying idealistic and/or idealising imagining and visualization. The term \"dystopian\" has been employed in the context of visual arts only recently, that is, approximately in the last ten years. It is used with the aim of describing a certain mood or atmosphere. It is usually related to the specific iconographical aspect of a work of art. Art works described as \"dystopian\" most often explore the themes of ecology, consumerism, oppressive social and political systems, power relations and inter-species dynamics. Both utopian and dystopian art is created as a critical response to social reality.","PeriodicalId":41082,"journal":{"name":"Zivot Umjetnosti","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69466261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
