Четвертая симфония Эдуарда Айрапетяна (2016) подтвердила высокий уровень композиторского мастерства и таланта композитора. В ней сосредоточилось новое ощущение жизни народа на грани испытаний. Композитор внимательно вслушивается в жизнь. Он ищет и находит духовную опору в глубоком осознании роли искусства, музыки. Глубинные традиции музыкального творчества, симфонической музыки и жанра симфонии – неотъемлемые завоевания армянской музыки. Композитор в совершенстве владеет этим инструментарием. Его Четвертая симфония – новое достижение армянской музыкальной культуры. Четвертая симфония явно начинает новый период в творчестве Айрапетяна. Думается, это период обобщенного осмысления событий, включающих современную историю. Эта тема, давно освоенная в жанре симфонии, сегодня особенно актуальна, и композиторское участие в ее разработке в масштабах больших симфонических форм повысит градус национально-патриотического духа.

Among the first literary-and-art magazines of the late XIX – early XX centuries, which had played a noticeable role in nurturing aesthetic tastes of educated Armenians, one should name “Բանբեր գրականության և արվեստի [Herald of Literature and Art]” (Saint-Petersburg, 1903-1904) under the editorship of the outstanding Armenian historian and philologist Nikolay Adonts (Nikoghayos Ter-Avetikyan, 1871-1942). The ideological and aesthetic program of “Herald” was of a pronounced decadent nature, and this was declared both in the editor’s introductory note, signed by Nikolay Adonts, and in his article “Literary Essays: Decadence and Symbolism”. The same position was also held by the anonymous commentator of the art album, concluding the magazine, where, along with the works of such masters of Western European and Russian visual art as Dante-Gabriel Rossetti, Eugene Carriere, Arnold Böklin, Franz Stuck, Hans Thoma, Friedrich Kaulbach, Leon Bakst and others, paintings by Armenian artists were reproduced as well. However, only the works of E. Carriere’s pupil Arminia Babayan and F. Kaulbach’s pupil Vardges Surenyants could stand the proximity to the Europeans. Vardges Surenyants participated in selecting illustrations for “Herald”, too, giving preference to the Munich school of Jugendstil, with the early examples of which he had become acquainted in his student years in the Bavarian capital. The same spirit of Munich Jugendstil marked the graphic design of the magazine. The ideological and aesthetic program of Nikolay Adonts’s “Herald” was close to a number of foreign and Russian art editions, such as “La Revue blanche” and ”Art et décoration” in France, ”Pan”, ”Jugend”, ”Ver Sacrum”, ”Insel” in Germany and Austria, ”The Yellow Book” in England and particularly – “Mir iskusstva [World of Art]”, coming out in Saint-Petersburg from 1898. It ceased to exist in 1904, the same year as Nikolay Adonts’s magazine.
19世纪末至20世纪初,在培养受过教育的亚美尼亚人的审美情趣方面发挥了显著作用的第一批文学和艺术杂志中,应该有一个名字:《Բ》(圣彼得堡,1903-1904),由杰出的亚美尼亚历史学家和语言学家Nikolay Adonts (Nikoghayos Ter-Avetikyan, 1871-1942)担任编辑。《先驱报》的意识形态和美学纲领具有明显的颓废性质,这在尼古拉·阿东茨(Nikolay Adonts)署名的编辑导言和他的文章《文学散文:颓废与象征主义》中都有体现。艺术专辑的匿名评论员也持有同样的立场,该杂志的结论是,除了西欧和俄罗斯视觉艺术大师的作品,如Dante-Gabriel Rossetti, Eugene Carriere, Arnold Böklin, Franz Stuck, Hans Thoma, Friedrich Kaulbach, Leon Bakst和其他人的作品外,亚美尼亚艺术家的画作也被复制。然而,只有E. Carriere的学生Arminia Babayan和F. Kaulbach的学生Vardges Surenyants的作品才能与欧洲人接近。Vardges Surenyants也参与了为“先驱”选择插图的工作,并优先考虑慕尼黑青年艺术学院,他在巴伐利亚首都的学生时代就已经熟悉了这些早期的例子。同样的慕尼黑青年精神仍然标志着杂志的平面设计。尼古拉·阿东茨的《先驱》的思想和美学纲领接近许多外国和俄罗斯的艺术版本,如法国的《白色的Revue》和《art et dsamcoration》,德国和奥地利的《Pan》、《Jugend》、《Ver Sacrum》、《Insel》,英国的《黄皮书》,特别是1898年在圣彼得堡出版的《Mir iskusstva(艺术世界)》。它与尼古拉·阿东茨的杂志同一年,于1904年停刊。

This article aims to investigate the role of the photobook in architectural education and production through the case study of the publication One Year from Venice to India by the Land Route. 1956: Photosketches of a Slow Journey (2009). This engages with the formative travel overland from Venice to India (and back) undertaken in 1956 by the young Swiss architect Dolf Schnebli and his wife Clarissa Hall. The slow journey influenced the architect’s life, both in a general attitude as well as in his architectural practice. Among the different media used to collect memories from the journey – hand sketches, text, letters, photographs, objects – only black and white pictures shot by Dolf Schnebli’s Leica were included in the photobook. The architect referred to these images as photosketches, standing at the crossroads between a traditional hand-sketch and a photograph. In this essay the translation of the private memories collected in different sketchbooks into a published biographical photobook will be examined as a representation on the formative journey and as an educational tool itself.

The basic thesis of the article is that in historical materialist theory a distinction can be made between the terms work and labor. Work refers to a specific activity – sewing, weaving, painting, sculpting. Labor refers to the social relationship, primarily between different social groups, i.e., classes – wage labor, serfdom, slavery, petty craftsmanship. Art history has approached the avant-garde mainly from the aspect of artistic work – for example, how the avant-garde transformed work in the domain of painting into work in the domain of three-dimensional construction. This article tries to think of the avant-garde as a phenomenon that has transformed art in terms of artistic labor. The basis is the transition from constructivism to productivism in Soviet art in the 1920s, and especially Boris Arvatov's theoretical postulates.

Several artists who take into consideration the existence of the Internet in their process of documenting the world remain faithful to the photography book. They find in the codex an experience that a screen remains incapable of providing. The adoption of the book by some documentarist artists engages appropriation practices from an ancient documentary project. War Primer 2 by Broomberg & Chanarin and Less Américains by Mishka Henner reproduce pre-existing books, respectively The ABC of War by Bertolt Brecht and The Americans by Robert Frank. The renewed interest of artists and photographers in books can be explained by a logic of comparison between the two media: the emergence of the web, with its formats and specificities, makes it possible to better appreciate, by analogy and distinction, what characterizes books and the web, and what makes their respective languages. However, rather than thinking of the modes of publication as alternatives, some of the artists merge their logic by resorting to online self-publishing platforms that allow the self-production and self-distribution of books. The artist Mishka Henner stands out in particular for his systematic production of books on self-publishing sites.

In this article, speculative virontology refers to a form of thought that revalues the biontological framework present in current queer theoretical and new materialist thinking. Using an archive of horror films, Paul Golding’s Pulse from 1988 in particular, this article points toward malevolent infrastructure – the conceptualization of matter that is performatively terrorizing the closedness of mutually constitutive design of infrastructural intimacy and the immanence of biontology. Both intimacy and immanence depend on production of space and time which exclude forms of life that are not white middle-class cisnormative (re)productive heterosexuality and thus deemed not properly alive and outside of Being. The figure of the Virus upsets these processes of exclusion and divisions, and reorders conceptuality away from immanence and biontology toward what is non-biontological, toward that which is neither Life nor Nonlife.

Both intimacy and immanence depend on production of space and time which exclude forms of life that are not white middle-class cisnormative (re)productive heterosexuality and thus deemed not properly alive and outside of Being. The figure of the Virus upsets these processes of exclusion and divisions, and reorders conceptuality away from immanence and biontology toward what is non-biontological, toward that which is neither Life nor Nonlife.","PeriodicalId":40461,"journal":{"name":"AM Journal of Art and Media Studies","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86709251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“A child’s hands” was chosen as the cover image for a monograph by photographer Aenne Biermann (1898–1933), published in Weimar Germany (1930) as part of a small series of paperback publications edited by Franz Roh and Jan Tschichold. Volume 1 of the same series, also published in 1930, was dedicated to photography by László Moholy-Nagy, who in a different context had advocated for photographic literacy. Even though Biermann was published amongst the forerunners of the New Vision, as evidenced by her photobook 60 Photos, she had been forgotten for a long time. By calling attention to her photographic oeuvre, my essay poses questions about the mechanisms of writing photobook history (and which books are omitted from it). In the discourse surrounding the photobook, the child’s hand as depicted on the cover is viewed as a symbol of the activity that the photobook unleashes, both as a tangible object and as a thinking device. Biermann’s photo-constellations oscillate between training manual and atlas for seeing, between perception primer and picture book; they offer a surprisingly humorous complexity, taking full advantage of the photobook as a medium of artistic expression. Acknowledgments: This paper is based in part on arguments first developed in my PhD dissertation Schools for Seeing: German Photobooks between 1924 and 1937 as Perception Primers and Sites of Knowledge (Princeton University, 2015), as well as my ABC der Photographie. Photobücher der Weimarer Republik als Schulen des Sehens [ABC of Photography. Photobooks of the Weimar Republic as Schools for Seeing] (Cologne: Walther König, 2018). Thanks to Vreni Hockenjos for the invitation to present at FotoWien in March 2022, where I took part in a panel entitled “Beyond the Margins: on Photobooks by Women”. Her research and thoughts on photobooks are invaluable. Thanks also to Michael Jennings, Sigrid Weigel, Devin Fore, Eduardo Cadava, and Barbara N. Nagel for supporting earlier thoughts on this topic in my dissertation, and to Catherine Abou-Nemeh for reading a draft version of this paper.

“孩子的手”被选为摄影师Aenne Biermann(1898-1933)的专著的封面图片,该专著于1930年在德国魏玛出版,是Franz Roh和Jan Tschichold编辑的小系列平装出版物的一部分。同一系列的第一卷,也在1930年出版,致力于László Moholy-Nagy的摄影,他在不同的背景下提倡摄影素养。尽管比尔曼是新视野的先驱之一,她的摄影集《60张照片》证明了这一点,但她已经被遗忘了很长时间。通过引起人们对她的摄影作品的关注,我的文章提出了关于撰写摄影书历史的机制的问题(以及哪些书被遗漏了)。在围绕摄影书的讨论中,封面上描绘的孩子的手被视为摄影书所释放的活动的象征,既是有形的物体,也是一种思维工具。比尔曼的照片星座在训练手册和视觉地图集之间摇摆,在感知入门和绘本之间摇摆;它们提供了一种令人惊讶的幽默复杂性,充分利用了照相簿作为艺术表达的媒介。致谢:本文部分基于我的博士论文《视觉学校:1924年至1937年间作为感知入门和知识场所的德国摄影集》(普林斯顿大学,2015年)以及我的ABC der photography中首先提出的论点。photo bcher der Weimarer Republik als Schulen des Sehens [ABC摄影]。《魏玛共和国作为视觉学校的摄影集》(科隆:Walther König, 2018)。感谢Vreni Hockenjos邀请我出席2022年3月的维也纳摄影展,在那里我参加了一个名为“超越边缘:女性摄影集”的小组讨论。她对摄影集的研究和想法是无价的。还要感谢Michael Jennings, Sigrid Weigel, Devin Fore, Eduardo Cadava和Barbara N.
