  • # 112 | Still Life, Living Nature | Chang Ming Peng

    Hartung Bergman Seminar, Things Far East, Still Life 0

    Hartung Bergman Seminar, Wars and Peace museum, ruin 0

    Annette Becker is known for her fine knowledge of wars and genocides.  She is now studying the conditions under which they are being exhibited in museums that have preserved traces thereof.  Such museums have become sites of both commemoration and mourning.  Especially since the 1990s, a bit everywhere in the world and there, too, ...

  • # 102 | The Albums of Yoko Ono | Prudence Bidet

    Hartung Bergman Seminar, Non classé, Things No tags 4

    Prudence Bidet studies the albums of Yoko Ono, who mixes everything together: music, politics, and autobiography.

  • # 95 | British Interiors | Isa Bonnet

    Hartung Bergman Seminar, Non classé, Things England, John Myers, Photography 3

    Using documentary photography that prioritized home over street, Isabelle Bonnet invites us to enter British interiors of the 1970s. These photographs offer us signs of a new lifestyle henceforth centered on domestic space. There, the status of things speaks volumes, as does their number, their profusion within the working-class world, which contrasts with the ...

  • # 93 | Charles Sterling in His Element | Marie Tchernia-Blanchard

    Hartung Bergman Seminar, Non classé, Things Charles Sterling, Louvre, Still Life 3

    Charles Sterling is among those museum curators whose originality is to be rediscovered. Having had to flee Vichy France and the Nazi Occupation during World War II, he never was able to create exactly the kind of exhibition he wanted to organize until the Spring of 1952, when he presented his European retrospective The ...

She is working on an anthropology of the picture by showing that art is also material and has what she calls its own preaesthetic regime. She lays stress on what vision by itself conceals: a whole world of gestures and practices, an entire material ...

    Hartung Bergman Seminar, Non classé, Things Love, Still Life, XVIIIth Century 3

    Guillaume Faroult carefully observes the “talkative objects” that appeared at the fringes of eighteenth-century still lifes. At the moment when this quite old genre was receiving its designation in French as nature morte, and despite the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture’s directives, which favored a “good” model for still lifes consisting of ...

  • # 88 | Invisible Presences | Amaru Lozano-Ocampo

    Hartung Bergman Seminar, Non classé, Things Metaphysic, Religion, Still Life 3

    In studying the status of things over the long term, Amaru Lozano-Ocampo lay stress on the transition from the mysticism of the classical age to the secular world of modernity.
