Slovenian Štefka Cobelj (1923–1989) saw her work of an art historian and ethnologist as a calling, and dedicated her life entirely to it. She specialized in Baroque and Yugoslavian and international contemporary art, but was most passionate about world ethnology. As the director of the Ptuj museum in Slovenia, and later a museum consultant in Mogadishu in Somalia, she was involved in the creation of ethnology collections of national importance. On her numerous travels for both business and pleasure, she compiled a large personal collection of cultural, historical, and ethnological items. This article describes her contribution to the creation of collections in Ptuj and Mogadishu, and her personal heritage, which was bequeathed to the following Slovenian institutions: Celje Regional Museum, Maribor Art Gallery, Maribor Regional Museum, Ivan Potrč Library Ptuj, and Ptuj-Ormož Regional Museum.

RESUMEN Hay que pensar la decolonialidad en relación a las artes. En esta entrevista exploramos cómo las artes decoloniales se diferencian de la estética moderna/colonial. La decolonización de la estética conlleva la liberación de a la aiesthesis, es decir de las formas de relacionarnos con el mundo y de hacer mundo a través de los sentidos. La aiesthesis decolonial se distingue de los principios del arte contemporáneo y en particular de su sujeción a la temporalidad moderna, abriéndonos hacia las temporalidades relacionales. Los artistas decoloniales ejercen una temporalidad distinta que conlleva no sólo una crítica radical al orden de la representación y de la visualidad modernas sino que también nos dan la posibilidad de entender a la decolonialidad cómo un movimiento cargado de esperanza, cargado de la posibilidad de nombrar y vivenciar los mundos interculturales que han sido negados. PALABRAS CLAVE Decolonialidad, tiempo relacional, esperanza, cuerpo, interculturalidad KAI SUTI AESTHESIS ÑAGPAMANDA KAUSAKUNA TUKUIKUNAWA TAPUCHI SUG RUNATA ROLANDO VÁSQUEZ SUTITA SUGLLAPI Kaipi kawachinakumi iska ruraikuna ñugpamanda chasallata kunaurramanda.

INTERVIEW WITH ROLANDO VÁSQUEZ ABSTRACT We have to hink the decoloniality in relation with the arts. This interview explores the difference between the modern/colonial aesthetic and the decolonial arts. The aesthetic decolonization leads to the release of the aesthesis, ergo it relates in every way to the connection and creation of a world through the senses. The decolonial aesthesis is particularly different from the contemporary art principles in the way it grasps the modern temporality consenting the creation of a path toward relational temporalities. The decolonial artists exercise a different temporality that results in not only a radical criticism to the modern representation and visuality but it makes possible to understand the decolonialization as a hopeful movement, full of possibilities for naming and experiencing neglected intercultural worlds. KEYWORDS Decolonialization, relational time, hope, body, interculturality ESTEHÉSIE DÉCOLONIALE ET LE TEMPS RELATIONNELS. ENTRETIEN À ROLANDO VASQUEZ RÉSUMÉ Il faut penser la décolonisation en relation aux arts. Dans cet entretien on explore comment les arts décoloniaux sont différents de l’esthétique moderne-coloniale. La décolonisation de l’esthétique entraîne la libération de l’estehésie, c’est-à-dire, la libération des façons de nous mettre en relation avec le monde et d’en créer un nouveau à travers les sens. L’estehésie décoloniale se différence des principes de l’art contemporain, principalement pour son fixation à la modernité en nous emmenant vers les temporalités relationnelles. Les artistes décoloniaux exercent avec une temporalité qui n’implique pas juste une critique radicale à l’ordre de la représentation et de la vision moderne, mais aussi de la possibilité de comprendre la décolonisation comme un mouvement plein d’espoir, chargé d’une possibilité de nommer et de mettre en relief les interculturalités qu’ont été niées. MOTS-CLEFS Décolonisation, temps relationnels, espoir, corps, interculturalité ESTESIA DESCOLONIAL E O TEMPO RELACIONAL ENTREVISTA A ROLANDO VAZQUEZ RESUMO Temos que pensar a descolonização em relação as artes.

La Fondazione Prada de Milán, Italia, es un paradigma y un ejemplo del mecenazgo moderno. En este documento se analiza de qué forma un museo de arte contemporáneo puede generar cambios positivos en el barrio donde se localiza, más aún si ese vecindario se ubica en una zona periférica de la ciudad que ha pasado por un proceso de degradación urbana. Veremos el caso de un museo como elemento rehabilitador de infraestructura y un espacio de estímulo para la creación y producción de cultura. El museo le da una nueva vida a una edificación abandonada que anteriormente estaba destinada a la producción industrial. Los amplios espacios de manufactura, hoy en día abandonados, son ideales para instalar obras de arte contemporáneo.  Palabras clave: Fondazione Prada, Miuccia Prada, Rem Koolhaas, museografía moderna, cultura contemporánea, arte contemporáneo   AbstractThe Fondazione Prada in Milan, Italy, is a paradigm and an example of modern patronage. This document analyzes how a museum of contemporary art can generate positive changes in the neighborhood where it is located, especially if that neighborhood is located in a peripheral area of thecity that has gone through a process of urban degradation. We will consider the case of a museum as an infrastructure rehabilitation element and a stimulus space for the creation and production of culture. The museum gives a new life to an abandoned building that was previously destined forindustrial production. The large manufacturing spaces, now abandoned, are ideal for installing works of contemporary art.

The Singaporean company TheatreWorks, under the artistic direction of Ong Keng Sen, has been responsible for the creation of a number of large-scale Asian intercultural works that have toured to international festivals from Adelaide to Hamburg. Among the best known of these are Lear and Desdemona, both of which use Shakespeare as a point of departure for new performance pieces that bring together practitioners representing a wide range of traditional and contemporary art forms. Unlike other intercultural experiments, in Lear and Desdemona practitioners stay largely within the frame of their own performance and linguistic traditions, creating a work which, especially in the case of Desdemona, is far from seamless. Using the 2000 production of Desdemona as an object of inquiry, this model of Asian intercultural production is examined against the backdrop of the politics of one's location, the troubled audience response to the work in Singapore and Adelaide, and the current state of intercultural theory.

In the past two decades we have witnessed a series of epistemological shifts, springing from traditional area studies and departing from nationally bounded fields. These moves seem to dislocate and problematize categories of identity by focusing on translocality and by calling attention to processes of displacement, dispersion, objects and ideas, and to the new cultural and imaginary territories that these mobilizations effect. Such formulations, while historically situated, illuminate flows and favour transformation, as opposed to producing ontological crystallisations. This issue will explore the view that the creation of new cultural phenomena may be achieved, in the richest of ways, through the mixing of genres and the crossing of media. It will seek to investigate how various contemporary art forms serve to express, envision, challenge and renegotiate Francophone identities that reach across cultures.

RESUMOEste trabalho trata de algumas obras de Thiago Rocha Pitta procurando contemplar dois aspectos: o fascínio frente à paisagem como desastre; e a interrogação da visibilidade de elementos incorpóreos. Comparece como articulação teórica Immanuel Kant, que permite refletir sobre a atração pelo que é temível e imensurável; Maurice Blanchot, cujas reflexões autorizam a compreensão de certas nuances relativas ao processo de criação; e François Cheng, que permite pensar a fugacidade dos vapores através do conceito de devir recíproco identificado com a pintura de paisagem chinesa.Palavras ChaveThiago Rocha Pitta, paisagem, Arte Contemporânea. AbstractThis paper deals with some works by Thiago Rocha Pitta, trying to regard two aspects: the fascination in front of the landscape as a disaster; and the interrogation about the visibility of intangible items. Immanuel Kant is present as a theoretical articulator who allows a  reflection about the attraction of what is fearful and immeasurable; Maurice Blanchot, whose reflections authorize the understanding of some nuances concerning the creation process; and François Cheng, who suggests the fugacity of vapors through the concept of reciprocal transformation identified with the Chinese landscape painting.Key wordsThiago Rocha Pitta, landscape, Contemporary Art.

This chapter establishes two markers for fifty years of experimental media arts in Canada: Joyce Wieland’s 1967 Bill’s Hat, an expanded cinema event, and Midi Onodera’s To Poll or Not to Poll (2016), the latest in her ongoing series of year-long, Web-based films created for mobile devices, which she has called intimate cinema. This chapter complicates boundaries between histories of contemporary art, film, and video in Canada, and selectively animates the lively people, contexts, events, genres, and networks that have sustained the cultural ecosystems of experimental media arts in Canada. With specific examples drawn from thousands of mediaworks, events, festivals, and symposia, this chapter demonstrates that these ecosystems have been largely self-propelled by artists and mediamakers acting as creative, technical, administrative, pedagogical, and critical advocates since at least the 1960s to ensure the creation of dynamic artworks in dialogue with multiple communities both local and international.

Because artists’ books can be expensive to buy and to keep, institutions need to have a clearly articulated rationale for collecting them. This could range from documenting the history of art, and contemporary art in particular, to a survey of how artists have used the book format to explore their ideas. This latter approach would support the use of artists’ books in practical workshops leading to the creation of yet further artists’ books.

Статья посвящена обстоятельствам рождения Шестой симфонии Н. Я. Мясковского. Предлагаются к осмыслению новые детали творческой биографии композитора, повлиявшие на формирование его замысла. «Домашнее пение в старой Руси» - так называлась последняя лекция-концерт, который дали в Малом зале Московской консерватории в январе 1922 года регент и исследователь знаменного пения, старообрядец Я. А. Богатенко и его старообрядческий хор. Именно это время приходится на начало работы Мясковского над Шестой симфонией. Предполагается, что полученный композитором сильнейший эмоциональный посыл от исполнения духовных стихов, псальмов и кантов оказал решающее влияние на создание концепции Шестой симфонии, результатом чего стало введение в текст сочинения духовного стиха. Симфония рассматривается в контексте связей творчества Мясковского с современной ему художественной культурой. The article is devoted to the circumstances of Myaskovsky's Sixth Symphony creation. New details of the composer's musical biography, which influenced the formation of his idea, are offered. “Home singing in oLd Russia”-this was the name of the last lecture-concert which was given in the Small hall of Moscow Conservatory in January 1922 by an old believer Y. A. Bogatenko (a famous precentor and researcher of the so called Znamenny chant) and his old believers' choir. This is the beginning of Myaskovsky's work on the Sixth Symphony. It is assumed that the strong emotionaL message received by the composer from this performance of spirituaL verses, psalms and cantos had a decisive influence on the creation of the concept of the Sixth Symphony, which resulted in the introduction of a spiritual verse into the text of the composition. This Symphony is considered in the context of intertextual links between Myaskovsky's work and contemporary art culture in that time.

During the state of global emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic, online cultural events have multiplied and gained space in our lives. However, this relationship between contemporary art and digital media has been developing for decades. In this paper, the authors cover the curatorial and preparation process for the virtual pavilion The Destinies of Senses that was part of the 4th edition of the digital art biennial The Wrong, which took place from November 2019 to March 2020, bringing to discussion the curation of online exhibitions, aesthetics post-digital, and the creation process of these artists. The authors approach in more detail one of the projects that integrated the exhibition and that combines fashion production, print media, and digital art.
