This concluding section uses art works and performances included in the 2015 Venice Biennial to identify a legacy of Marx and the black political left in the present of this writing. While the revolutionary possibility is understood as more remote than it may have been in the sixties, the resistant energies articulated in this tradition may still be used to deploy a radical criticality that unsettles disciplinary forms and the capitalist priorities that support them. Particular attention is paid to instances of sound and music that exceed the ordering powers of visuality that accompany this prestigious visual art exhibition. Works by artists including Emeka Ogboh, Isaac Julien, Julius Eastman, Glenn Ligon, and Alicia Hall Moran and Jason Moran offer resonant echoes of a political past that are part of the material of black political life’s current crises.

Changing Role

In this chapter the changing role of art and interpretations of art in contemporary societies are discussed. Visual art works are always open to a great diversity of possible interpretations, impressions and opinions. There are also vastly differing opinions and ideas about what art is or should be. What characterizes contemporary art is the idea that it is one of the areas freedom that allow and encourage rule-breaking and visions. In short, it is the refuge of imagination in a society that otherwise is built on modern science, logic and reflexivity. For some that freedom and imagination is too much: modern art may include elements of carnival madness, sophomoric humour, cheap publicity-seeking or hoax – in addition to great art providing deep experiences and/or thoughts to people who cherish the opportunity to feed their souls with art. Viewing art can be a deeply intimate individual process or a social statement, sometimes both of these. However, this book also offers consolation to all art lovers: art itself is globally in no danger of disappearing as a result of any political or commercial pressure.

This article describes the participatory design (PD) approach adopted in systematically involving visually impaired people in the design of an art exhibition adapted to their needs. This exhibition will be the outcome of a publicly-funded research project aimed at making visual art accessible to everyone: specifically (but not exclusively) to visually impaired people, in an objective of social inclusion. This article presents the research done to elicit, capture, and analyse the needs of visually impaired people who are the active actors of this research. The aim of the article is to trigger discussion about both the necessity and difficulty of elaborating relevant techniques in this empirical and open-ended approach, and what is meant by participation in this particular setting.

This article explores how to integrate the collective creation of contemporary art exhibitions, and how to transform exhibition works into contemporary language and novel visual art materials, thereby generating cultural exchange between Australia and Spain. The Space Between Us (2017- ), co-curated by Australian artist-curator Wilson Yeung and Spanish artist Estefanía Salas Llopis, resolve these questions by examining the contemporary art exhibition. This paper also asks how to transform art exhibitions into laboratories, how artists and curators work together in a collective innovation environment, how collective creation generates new knowledge, and how to develop collective creation among creative participants from different cultures and backgrounds.

The Sixties

Land Art is a principle in contemporary art that developed in the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, as a reaction to commercialization in art. The art of Land Art abandoned museums and galleries and develops monumental projects in free space and landscapes, which in an artistic way are changing and adapting without having any negative impact on the environment. Knowing and evaluating contemporary art in practice is as important as observing and evaluating traditional art works, which is also based on the development of subtle perception of art. For this reason, this case study examines the possibility of implementing contemporary art in this case Land Arta in pedagogical work with children in Kindergarten. Land Art is, in its essence, quite suitable as an incentive for creative work for interaction with nature, the use of natural materials that are close to children, has a good effect on the psyche of the child and contains an educational ecological component. The results showed that the children who participated in this research were creatively responsive and created interesting artworks inspired by land art.

The article touches upon basic issues for the legal regulation of visual art market in Ukraine. Nowadays works of visual art are regarded notonly as objects for aesthetic enjoyment but also as commercial assets. Current trading relationships are being influenced by global geographical changes of business, digital transformation and IT development.Attention is drawn to the fact that trading relations in art works should be based on such fundamental principles as equality of parties, autonomy of will, and reasonable transparency of commercial operations. It should also be defined the basic elements of trade dealings in the visual art market. They are parties to the relationships, subject matters, and certain content of rights and duties depending on type and nature of legal privity.The comprehensive analysis of legal capacity and competence has been undertaken in the research. Therefore, market participant should have legal ability to acquire and perform personal rights and obligations connected with art trading. They should be able to be hold responsible for their unlawful actions as well. The creator of visualart work should also have creative capacity to be regarded as author and proper party to the transaction.Besides, it is pointed out the main features of visual art works in case they are subject matter to trading activity. Currently, more and more contemporary art works are appearing on the market, for example, installations and computer generated art works. But commercial turnover accepts artistic results, which are unique, creative and aesthetic enjoyable. So, no art work should be considered as a subject matter to marketplace that does not contain intellectual and creative components. It should not be easily-reproducible too.Also worth noting is that certain content of legal relations in the visual art market consists of two-dimensional authorities. Permitting competence is intended to determinethe limit and procedure of voluntary conduct. Obligatory warranties establishsome restrictions and prohibitions. They are meant to attach the liability for non-performance or improper performance of duties.The article is concluded by saying that theoretical framework of visual art market is an important base for providing the suitable level of legal regulation of art trading relations.

Nato Bombing

Using the research that mapped around 160 visual art works on the topic of NATO bombing of the FRY, the paper deals with the problem of incorporating various narratives of memory and artistic representations of collective traumas into the public memory discourse in Serbia (creation of sacrificial culture, rival memories, forgetting). The aim of the paper is to point out the possible methods of developing a holistic, inclusive and critical culture of remembrance that would lead to the treatment of collective traumas, and to underline the importance of showing public respect for all narratives of memory, and thus also narratives of victimization, which can often be politically abused. Therefore, the paper offers a new typology of representation of collective traumas, based on psychological analyses of types of traumatic reactions. The typology aims to achieve 1) equal appreciation of sufferings and all narratives of remembering, 2) critique of political misuses of narratives of trauma and reductionism. In order to overcome social tensions arising from the construction of the official sacrificial- patriotic narratives, it is necessary to break the binary constructed identities of ?good? and ?bad? ones, and to discover other narratives of the past, such as activist artistic memories.

People With Dementia

This study applies video analysis to an investigation of interactions among people with dementia in a cultural context, specifically a visual art exhibition in a gallery. The study adopts a sociologically informed approach to explore the role of artworks and how these may be beneficial to dementia care, by focusing on meaning-making conversational practices among people living with dementia. The interactions of different individuals with various forms of dementia were recorded during three gallery visits, including their engagement with gallery attendants and artworks. The findings reveal the socially empowering impact of interactions related to artwork, with complex patterns in bodily behaviour and facial expressions meaning that orientation to dementia became negligible. The article makes a contribution to the growing field of sociology of ageing and well-being from an interaction analytic perspective, indicating that cultural values can play a greater role in the care of people living with dementia.
