On the Architecture of Looking , 2010 (Part 3 of 3) Video Clips. Duration : 6.77 Mins.
In an interview by Dr Victoria Watson, Dr Penelope Haralambidou discusses the devices that structure our experience of Marcel Duchamp's enigmatic assemblage Étant Donnés. DESCRIPTION Desire has no objects, but merely architectures -- organisational devices that structure our experience -- intended to lure into the momentary satisfaction of an idea. If not actually here on show (The Surreal House, Barbican Art Centre), one piece that is vital to the conception of The Surreal House is Duchamp's Étant Donnés: its subject is a fractured body, certainly female and denuded, possibly mutilated. As Jane Alison points out in her introductory text, Étant Donnés is an investigation of the relationship between architecture and desire: "We can say with some certainty... that eroticism and architecture were the mainstays of Duchamp's decidedly non-retinal practice..." Watson and Haralambidou will argue that in order to understand the part played by the fragmented body in the architecture of Étant Donnés it is necessary to define the critical and indeed political nature of Duchamp's non-retinal practice. For Duchamp retinal practice referred to habitual architectures, originating in the Italian Renaissance, which had developed around and out of acts of building, viewing and painting. In constructing Étant Donnés Duchamp aimed to short-circuit these habitual architectures, which still to this day are assumed of visitors to galleries and museums, and to install the act of looking in the ...

| The titles in our best-selling Design Brief series are highly praised by graphic design students, educators, and professionals worldwide as invaluable resources. Each beautifully designed, affordable volume offers a concise overview of a design fundamentalthe hows of design. But as most seasoned designers will tell you, a comprehensive education also requires an understanding of the whys of design practice. Graphic Design Theory presents groundbreaking, primary texts from the most important historical and contemporary designthinkers. From Aleksandr Rodchenko's "Who We Are: Manifesto of the Constructivist Group" to Kenya Hara's "Computer Technology and Design," this essential volume provides the necessary foundation for contemporary critical vocabulary and thought. Graphic Design Theory is organized in three sections: "Creating the Field" traces the evolution of graphic design over the course of the early 1900s, including influential avant-garde ideas of futurism, constructivism, and the Bauhaus; "Building on Success" covers the mid- to late twentieth century and considers the International Style, modernism, and postmodernism; and "Mapping the Future" opens at the end of the last century and includes current discussions on legibility, social responsibility, and new media. Striking color images illustrate each of the movements discussed and demonstrate the ongoing relationship between theory and practice. A brief commentary prefaces each text, providing a cultural and historical framework through which the work can be evaluated. Authors include such influential designers as Herbert Bayer, Lszl Moholy-Nagy, Karl Gerstner, Katherine McCoy, Michael Rock, Lev Manovich, Ellen Lupton, and Lorraine Wild. Additional features include a timeline, glossary, and bibliography for further reading. A must-have survey for graduate and undergraduate courses in design history, theory, and contemporary issues, Graphic Design Theory invites designers and interested readers of all levels to plunge into the world of design discourse. ...Read more |
