AHA! festival 2016
- 2016
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- For the third year, the AHA festival investigates the meeting between art and science in a three-day event at the Chalmers University of Technology hosted by the Department of Architecture and the Department of Physics. An international festival intended to provide enlightening experiences, staging surprises, new thoughts and displaced perspectives that lead to alternative modes of thinking about exploring the world through art and science. We invite scientists (physicists, historians, astronomers, engineers), artists (dancers, musicians, painters, poets, acrobats) who reside in these borderlands and wish to share their vision and work. The key intention is to celebrate both art and science as key knowledge building devices.The first year’s theme ’Embodiment’ (2014) explored the body as our anchor in the world, followed by the 2015 theme on ’Numbers’, a delightful net we cast over the world. This year's theme is ’Uni-verse,’ again a natural consequence of our interest in the relation between art and science. The elemental force that drives science as well as art is curiosity. Come be curious with us! During the festival we have chosen to divide the word universe into three: uni and "-" and verse. Uni means that something is combined into a whole. Verse means that we are turned in a direction, the origin of the word tells us that it is the plow that turns at the end of the field. And the dash "-" is all the spaces and cracks where new discoveries can grow. Art and science unfolds in the gap between what we know and what we want to know.

Crafting Cultural Heritage
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The making of artefacts is a core activity in society, the result of which contributes to the building up of our physical surroundings and material culture. Throughout history, craft skills have been highly appreciated and have often been seen as crucial component of a capable human. Despite this, the knowledge base that constitutes the actual making is often overlooked in research. What can we learn about things by learning about their making? How do different craft skills offer an understanding of its historical use? How can theoretical and methodological approaches be developed concerning the actual making? How can we study and understand craft as cultural heritage? This book contains a selecion of papers from the session Crafting Cultural Heritage at the Assosiation of Critical Heritage studies inaugural conference Re/theorising Heritage 2012 in Gothenburg. The contributors are Anneli Palmsköld; Thomas Laurien; Eleonora Lupo and Elena Giunta; Gunnar Almevik and Nicola Donovan. Their common interest are theories and methods of crafting that could benefit heritage studies approach to making.

What is at Stake in Community Practice? What Have We Learned?
- 2016

Ingår i: Stages: Journal of the Liverpool Biennial. - 2399-9675. ; :5, s. 2-9

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this writing I seek to detect a few precursory concerns that may inform an initial response to the question, ‘What is at Stake in Community Practice? What Have We Learned? In doing so I consider issues of legacy and obfuscation; the delimiting of education as a public good, and indicate the potential for artist-organisation to be considered in determining organisational practices.

Materializing virtual reality: The performativity of skin, body and costume in Tobias Bernstrup’s artwork
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Studies in Costume and Performance. - : Intellect. - 2052-4013 .- 2052-4021. ; 1:2, s. 151-161
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Swedish artist Tobias Bernstrup (b. 1970) works with multimedia, music, performance, video and computer games. He creates fictional alter egos in his works and returns to his characters in an ongoing re-mediation, digitally or in real-world artistic performances. In explicit stage costumes made of latex, leather and metal, Bernstrup performs in the interface between digital character, human being and artwork. The costume becomes a bearer of physical experiences, a bridge between the portrayed and the perceived. Through our gaze, bodily experiences are transferred in the form of embodied knowledge or haptic vision. Materiality conveys meaning and communicates with our tactile memory through glossy latex, cold metal or bare skin. The costume is a paradoxical entity: both an inseparable part of the artist’s body in the performance process and something that can be removed, yet remains part of the character. The nude body onstage can be seen as another costume, the bare skin serving as an interface between visual and physical experience. Bernstrup and his virtual alter egos slip between existences where skin, body and costume tie his virtual and physical realities together.

Open Form and the Polish Influence on Soviet Design of the 1960s
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Herito - heritage, culture and the present. ; :24, s. 82-93
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- For designers across the Eastern bloc who met in Warsaw in 1963, the creative construction of communism still seemed possible. Design, at that point offered the opportunity for a morally committed intelligentsia to create new types of objects that would not simply mirror those produced in the West – but work to actively restructure social relations.

Transcultural Identity Constructions in a Changing World
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This volume takes a broad outlook on the concept of transculturality. Contributions from 19 authors and specialists, of almost as many diverse origins, grapple with this concept, each in their own way. How can transculturality be described? How can it help us understand our world? Many of the chapters deal with literary texts, others with the stories told in movies, drama, and visual art. There are texts about the complexity of the European Burqa-Ban debate, the negative aspects of Portuguese multiculturalism, or the border-crossing experiences of Filipino immigrants in Ireland. Several chapters examine stereotypes, the idea of movement, the dissolution of cultural borders, or the nature of bilingual writing. It is a unique contribution to the field, on a virtually global scale.
