Bild och Tanke

By: Ph.D. Fredrik Lång

BILD OCH TANKE (Image and Thought)is moving in the border area between philosophy and art; follows their tracks through history from archaic Greece to the 20th century and Marcel Duchamp's art. It is this interaction between visual and intellectual reproduction as the image and understanding of our time and of history has been created....

Konsten är, som jag ser det, den spegel människan ställt upp framför sig för att bekräfta sanningen i den förståelse hon har av sin tillvaro. Konsten berättar hur det är eller hur det har varit att vara människa. I bekräftelsen ser hon inte bara att uppfattningen hon har om sig själv är sann (sådan är jag, sådan är min omgivning; sådan ser min mänsklighet ut), utan bekräftelsen styrker också den uppfattning hon har av riktigheten i sin aktuella livsform. Och det är det, för att föregripa framställningen en smula, det sist och slutligen handlar om i konsten: att i visuellt avläsbar form skapa symboliska gestalter som manifesterar livsvillkorens skön¬het och sanning. Det är det som är den solida undermeningen i de föränderliga uppfattningarna om vad som är skönt’ eller sant’. Men omvänt kan konsten också i vissa situationer fungera som narrspegel. Det kan den göra genom att visa upp skevheterna och bristerna i människans sätt att leva i akt och mening att vilja göra det bättre. Också det har konsten gemensamt med tänkandet och teorin. Konsten kan såväl understödja som underminera de värderingar som livskvaliteten just då är uppbyggd ...

Sobre la Belleza : Ensayo literario: Ensayo literario

By: Valentino Valentino

Voy a escribir esta tarde fulgente y cálida sobre un ensayo intitulado “Para qué la Poesía”, el que, en su esencia escrita, me pareció bello, y que fue publicado no hace mucho por nuestro amigo Luis Sanz. En él hablaba sobre la expresión de la Belleza y el hecho poético. Lógicamente, no soy ningún sabio, ni docto ni siquiera un licenciado en “ciencias, letras y artes”, por lo que no estoy sujeto (gracias a Dios) a las reglas de la composición filosófica. Es decir que no debo impresionar a nadie, ni traducirlo al latín para que sea tomado en cuenta, ni hacer como hacían los alemanes en el Medievo que agregaban sufijos latinos a sus nombres de pila. No lo creo necesario, y, en cambio, puedo llanamente desde mi humilde perspectiva de hombre común y corriente, pero humano, uno que vive y siente, hablar con desenvoltura, en forma personal y según mi Naturaleza. Eso le bastaría a cualquier estudioso que se precie de serlo, y le sería más que suficiente....

The Landscapes of Duchamp : Kant in Contemporary Aestetics

By: Ph.D. Fredrik Lång

The text is about the relation between Leonardo da Vinci and Marcel Duchamp. It seems as if the Leonardian offshoots in Duchamp's work are more common than we might have imagined. Because the similarities are not limited to the lascivious and bearded Mona Lisa, but also extend to the androgynous approach, to machine fascination, to the rendering of anatomy as a dynamic-pneumatic mechanics and even to the use of the form element The Glider. The second part is an interpretation of the ready-mades by Duchamp via the philosophy of Immanuel Kant....

JESSE WAUGH: Portrait of an Artist and His Strivings for Pulchrism

By: Jesse Waugh

Spanning periods spent in a vast range of locations, an identifiable style begins to crystallize, which links seemingly disparate expressions, heedless of media employed. A forthright, earnest, and earthy vein courses through the works of Jesse Waugh, as he endeavors to deliver pulchritude manifest. The compendium concludes with The Pulchrist Manifesto, which should serve to define the art movement which has been inaugurated by Jesse Waugh....

I first noticed Jesse Waugh as a young student at L.A.City College in 1995. He would sit in the History of Cinema class, on the right hand side of one of the front rows of the college movie theater, with his roaring twenties-style, buzzed-on-the-back-and-sides, neatly-combed-on-top haircut. When I saw him working at the Temporary Contemporary Art Museum downtown I approached him to model for some photos, not realizing how well my offer fit into his particular style of self-expression. The intention behind Jesse’s art, while it can’t be pinned down in a few words, has a lot to do with exploring—or a more precise word might be celebrating—the self and the ego. His work is informed by his religious upbringing in a California church with a doctrine based in Hinduism. While riffing on the church’s mythology and iconography, Jesse’s art is in part a howl of dissent against its core ideas, or at least the way they have become codified. There’s a concept I once heard expressed by Guru Singh of Yoga West—one of the pre-eminent American teachers of Kundalini Yoga—that rather than suppressing the ego, we should work to expand it out to infi...
