In recent years, two contradictory trends related to the study and display of picture frames have emerged in Russian museums. On the one hand, these works have at last caught the attention of scholars leading to publications on the evolution of art framing in Russia. However, the framing of paintings in museums is still not carried out on the basis of conducted research. In the light of a rapidly developing frame market, art historians and art critics have been increasingly replacing historical frames with massproduced ones, while disregarding historical reliability and authenticity of the frames, or the need to follow the author’s conception. Meanwhile, it is known that artists of different eras, as a rule, paid great attention to the selection of picture frames, with some among them, like A. N. Samokhvalov, creating their own. Thus, the purpose of the article is to examine the frames made by Samokhvalov, as well as to draw attention to the question of the author’s original picture framing. Samokhvalov’s frames are characterized by their unique design, which greatly affects the perception of the painting. Despite the fact that there exists a considerable body of art historical studies dedicated to the artist’s work, none of the researchers took notice of the problem of the picture framing. The article is the first to provide a scholarly introduction of designs and drawings of Samokhvalov’s frames, as well as works of art created on their basis. The artist’s frames from the collections of various museums have been attributed according to a comparative analysis. Likewise, traditional and innovative features in the works of Samokhvalov have been revealed as a result of stylistic assessment and comparison of frames produced by the artist with picture frames of the 17th – 20th centuries. The article illuminates the unexplored facet of the artist’s work presenting it in a new light. The research will not only allow to further preserve the unique frames of Samokhvalov in Russian museums, but also exhibit his works in accordance with the author’s intention.

Цель данной статьи - максимально раскрыть уникальность и своеобразие ксилографии «Неопалимая Купина, вид монастыря св. Екатерины. Синай» из собрания Музея Московской духовной академии. В результате сравнительного анализа известных нам собраний по базам каталогов греческой гравюры и в работе непосредственно с фондами было выявлено всего несколько поздних оттисков идентичной композиции созданных на Синае, что говорит о редкости этого произведения. На основании гравюроведческого анализа оттиска были высказаны предположения о возможной датировке листа. Автором предпринята попытка всестороннего описания памятника, его истории, изобразительных и технических особенностей изготовления, атрибуции, истории бытования, семантики образа и иконографии сюжета. Во второй части статьи был сделан подробный иконографический анализ ксилографии с подбором круга родственных памятников. Сюжет гравюры-кислографии был подвергнут семантическому анализу с учетом исследований искусствоведов и богословов, изучавших символику образа «Неопалимой купины». Дополнительно проводился поиск цитат по электронной базе данных греческих текстов с целью выявить самые ранние упоминания и толкования святых отцов о чуде Неопалимой Купины. Памятник вписан в ряд родственных образцов, участвовавших в генезисе иконографии сюжета, которая оказалась традиционной для византийского искусства с добавлением оригинальных «местных» включений, таких как вид Синайского монастыря, изображения синайских святых. Удалось подтвердить уникальность единственного в российских собраниях листа, не встречающегося в других мировых коллекциях по древности оттиска. The purpose of this article is to reveal as much as possible the uniqueness and originality of the woodcut «Burning Bush, view of the monastery of St. Catherine. Sinai» from the collection of the Museum of the Moscow Theological Academy. As a result of a comparative analysis of the most famous collections based on catalogs of Greek engravings and on work directly with the funds, were revealed only a few late prints of an identical composition created at Sinai, which indicates the rarity of this work. Based on the engraving analysis of the print, assumptions were made about the possible dating of the engraving.The author tried to comprehensively describe the monument, its history, pictorial and technical features of manufacturing, attribution, history of existence, semantics of the image and iconography of the plot. In the second part of the article was made a detailed iconographic analysis of woodcuts with a selection of a range of related monuments.The plot of the engraving-xylography was subjected to a semantic analysis considering the researches of art historians and theologians who studied the symbolism of the image of the Burning Bush. Additionally, a search was carried out for citations in the electronic database of Greek texts in order to identify the earliest mentions and interpretations of the Holy Fathers about the miracle of the Burning Bush.The masterpiece is inscribed in a number of related samples that participated in the genesis of the iconography of the plot, which turned out to be traditional for Byzantine art with the addition of original «local» inclusions, such as the view of the Sinai monastery, images of Sinai saints. It was possible to confirm the uniqueness of the only sheet in the Russian collections, which is not found in other world collections due to the antiquity of the print.

The use of metaphors in producing contemporary works of art is often used by artists to convey current ideas and issues in the era of contemporary visual art. The metaphor used is as a symbol for the meaning of a work in conveying the ideas and narrative of the story more creatively. In addition, the use of metaphors should be in line with the selection of subjects and meanings to be used and conveyed more accurately and effectively in the production of works to be seen and studied by art critics.

The aim of this article is to make a multi-criteria analysis of various exhibition spaces of an originally non-exhibition character and to determine how these spaces affect the selection of works and the exhibition concept. The analysis is based on the exhibitions of art objects at collective exhibitions in unconventional architectural spaces: commercial, i.e. the modern office building of PBG Gallery Skalar Office Centre in Poznań, post-industrial i.e. in the former Zakłady Przemysłu Ziemniaczanego Lubanta S.A. and in the historic interior of the "U Jezuitów" Gallery of the Cultural Integration Centre in Poznań. The multi-criteria comparative analysis shows a variety of features of the studied spaces as well as the relationship between architecture and art and their mutual interaction. The participatory role of the non-exhibition space in the process of creating an exhibition and selecting works has been proven. It has also been confirmed that the presentation of works of art in originally non-exhibition spaces creates a new quality of the artwork. Unconventional architectural space, when used for the exhibition of works of art, expands and strengthens the area of ​​their influence through the interaction between the work and the architectural space. The specificity of the space adapted for exhibition needs, the presence and type of architectural details in the interior, the quantity and quality of light and its distribution in space, the volume and colour of the interior determine the exhibition space and influence the shape of the exhibitions organised and the reception of the artworks. The only condition for the change of the original function of an architectural space into that of an exhibition space is a coherent artistic vision of the creator. This should take into account the appropriate selection of the exhibited objects, where the process of searching for the relationship between architecture and art determines the features of the architectural space as integral components influencing the realisation of the exhibition .

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

The Viennese modern choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser's black coat leads to an analysis of her choreography in four main phases – the early European career; the rise of Nazism; war's brutality; and postwar attempts at reconciliation. Utilising archival and embodied research, the article focuses on a selection of Bodenwieser costumes that survived her journey from Vienna, or were remade in Australia, and their role in the dramaturgy of works such as Swinging Bells (1926), The Masks of Lucifer (1936, 1944), Cain and Abel (1940) and The One and the Many (1946). In addition to dance history, costume studies provides a distinctive way to engage with the question of what remains of performance, and what survives of the historical conditions and experience of modern dance-drama. Throughout, Hannah Arendt's book The Human Condition (1958) provides a critical guide to the acts of reconstruction undertaken by Bodenwieser as an émigré choreographer in the practice of her craft, and its ‘materializing reification’ of creative thought. As a study in affective memory, information regarding Bodenwieser's personal life becomes interwoven with the author's response to the material evidence of costumes, oral histories and documents located in various Australian archives. By resurrecting the ‘dead letters’ of this choreography, the article therefore considers how dance costumes offer the trace of an artistic resistance to totalitarianism.

Death Of The Author

Digital media transform social options of access with regard to producers, recipients, and literary works of art themselves. New labels for new roles such as »prosumers « and »wreaders« attest to this. The »blogger« provides another interesting new social figure of literary authorship. Here, some old desiderata of Dadaism appear to find a belated realization. On the one hand, many web 2.0 formats of authorship amplify and widen the freedom of literary productivity while at the same time subjecting such production to a periodic schedule. In comparison to the received practices of authors and recipients many digital-cultural forms of narrating engender innovative metalepses (and also their sublation). Writing in the net for internet-publics enables the deliberate dissolution of the received autobiographical pact with the reader according to which the author’s genuine name authenticates the author’s writing. On the other hand, the digital-cultural potential of dissolving the autobiographical pact stimulates scandals of debunking and unmasking and makes questions of author-identity an issue of permanent contestation. Digital-cultural conditions of communication amplify both: the hideand- seek of authorship as well as the thwarting of this game by recipients who delight in playing detective. In effect, pace Foucault’s and Barthes’ postulates of the death of the author, the personality and biography of the author once again tend to become objects of high intrinsic value

The main purpose of this article is to study the role of the Russian Museum in the formation of the historical consciousness of Russian society. In this context, the author examines the history of the creation of the Russian Museum of Emperor Alexander III and its pre-revolutionary collections that became the basis of this famous museum collection (in particular, the composition of the museum’s expositions for 1898 and 1915). Within the framework of the methodology proposed by the author, the works of art presented in the museum’s halls were selected and distributed according to the historical eras that they reflect, and a comparative analysis of changes in the composition of the expositions was also carried out. This approach made it possible to identify the most frequently encountered historical heroes, to consider the representation of their images in the museum’s expositions, and also to provide a systemic reconstruction of historical representations broadcast in its halls.

Purpose This paper aims to rank and identify the most efficient project managers (PMs) based on personality traits, using Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) methodology. Design/methodology/approach The proposed methodology relies on the five personality traits. These were used as the selection criteria. A questionnaire survey among 82 experienced engineers was used to estimate the required weights per personality trait. A second two-part questionnaire survey aimed at recording the PMs profile and assess the performance of personality traits per PM. PMs with the most years of experience are selected to be ranked through Visual PROMETHEE. Findings The findings suggest that a competent PM is the one that scores low on the “Neuroticism” trait and high especially on the “Conscientiousness” trait. Research limitations/implications The research applied a psychometric test specifically designed for Greek people. Furthermore, the proposed methodology is based on the personality characteristics to rank the PMs and does not consider the technical skills. Furthermore, the type of project is not considered in the process of ranking PMs. Practical implications The findings could contribute in the selection of the best PM that maximizes the project team’s performance. Social implications Improved project team communication and collaboration leading to improved project performance through better communication and collaboration. This is an additional benefit for the society, especially in the delivery of public infrastructure projects. A lot of public infrastructure projects deviate largely as far as cost and schedule is concerned and this is an additional burden for public and society. Proper project management through efficient PMs would save people’s money and time. Originality/value Identification of the best PMbased on a combination of multicriteria decision-making and psychometric tests, which focus on personality traits.

Abstract The analysis of the production and yield of sunflower seeds in Ukraine for the period from 2000 to 2019 was conducted in the article. The comparative analysis of the gross harvest of sunflower seeds and the export of sunflower oil for the years under research was carried out. The dependence of exports on gross harvest was revealed and its share was calculated. It was determined that the export of sunflower oil has increased over the years under research, which indicates a significant Ukraine’s export potential. It was found that the increase in the share of exports by 15.9% was made possible by a qualitative change in yield, that was ensured by the changes in the cultivation technology and by the selection of sunflower hybrids that are better adapted to climate changes. The recommendations for further improvement of cultivation technology in connection with climate change in order to further increase yields and the export potential of Ukraine were given.

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is an important method in data analysis, which was developed by Fisher. There are situations when there is impreciseness in data In order to analyze such data, the aim of this paper is to introduce for the first time an intuitionistic fuzzy two-factor ANOVA (2-D IFANOVA) without replication as an extension of the classical ANOVA and the one-way IFANOVA for a case where the data are intuitionistic fuzzy rather than real numbers. The proposed approach employs the apparatus of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and index matrices (IMs). The paper also analyzes a unique set of data on daily ticket sales for a year in a multiplex of Cinema City Bulgaria, part of Cineworld PLC Group, applying the two-factor ANOVA and the proposed 2-D IFANOVA to study the influence of “ season ” and “ ticket price ” factors. A comparative analysis of the results, obtained after the application of ANOVA and 2-D IFANOVA over the real data set, is also presented.
