Sculpture and the Nordic Region by Elettra Carbone Pdf

Histories of sculpture within the Nordic region are under-studied and the region?s influence upon and translation of influences from elsewhere in Europe remain insufficiently traced. This volume brings to light individual histories of sculptural mobility from the early modern period onwards. Examining the movement of sculptures, sculptors, practices, skills, styles and motifs across borders, through studios and public architectures, within popular and print culture and via texts, the essays collected here consider the extent to which the sculptural artwork is changed by its physical movement and its transfigurations in other media. How does the meaning and form of these objects performatively respond to the pressure of their relocations and rematerialisations? Conversely, how do sculptures impact their new contexts of display? The contributing authors engage with a wide variety of objects and media in their essays. Each focuses on the contextualisation of sculpture in an original and timely way, exploring how mobility acts as a filter offering new perspectives on iconography, memorialisation, collecting, iconoclasm and exhibiting. From the stave churches of early Norway to the decoration of International Style monoliths of the twentieth century, from Italian quarries to Baroque palaces, from fountains to figurines, from text to performance, these wide-ranging and fascinating case studies contribute to the rich history of the Nordic region?s sculptural production.

75 Years. The Nordic Art Association?s Swedish Section by Anonim Pdf

Published on the occasion of the Nordic Art Association?s seventy-fifth anniversary, this publication is initiated and produced by the Swedish section, tracing some of the association?s activities in the entire region through the years. The book is an examination and a celebration of a visual art organisation in the Nordic region aimed at creating networks between artists since 1945. Historical texts by researchers critically engage with a newly retrieved archive, and the Nordic art world through the lens of association?s records.0The Swedish association?s activities have developed in a direction that gravitates around the Nordic Guest Studio in Stockholm. In this book, international guests and collaborators reflect this in a guest book emanating from CRIS, Curatorial Residency In Stockholm, by sharing their thoughts on the notion of hospitality.0NKF was founded 1945 with branches in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden as well as the autonomies of Faroe Islands, Greenland, Åland and the Sámi People.

Modernism in Scandinavia by Charlotte Ashby Pdf

Scandinavia is a region associated with modernity: modern design, modern living and a modern welfare state. This new history of modernism in Scandinavia offers a picture of the complex reality that lies behind the label: a modernism made up of many different figures, impulses and visions. It places the individuals who have achieved international fame, such as Edvard Munch and Alvar Aalto in a wider context, and through a series of case studies, provides a rich analysis of the art, architecture and design history of the Nordic region, and of modernism as a concept and mode of practice. Modernism in Scandinavia addresses the decades between 1890 and 1970 and presents an intertwined history of modernism across the region. Charlotte Ashby gives a rationale for her focus on those countries which share an interrelated history and colonial past, but also stresses influences from outside the region, such as the English Arts and Crafts movement and the impact of emergent American modernism. Her richly illustrated account guides the reader through key historical periods and cultural movements, with case studies illuminating key art works, buildings, designed products and exhibitions.

Nordic Women Sculptors at the Turn of the 20th Century by Linda Hinners Pdf

Throughout most of Western art history, the heavy and dirty work of a sculptor was seen as a male occupation, and the sculpting of nude bodies was considered unsuitable for women. Nevertheless, at the turn of the 20th century several women from the Nordic countries trained as sculptors.

Whiteness and Postcolonialism in the Nordic Region by Kristín Loftsdóttir,Lars Jensen Pdf

This book examines the influence of imperialism and colonialism on the formation of national identities in the Nordic countries, exploring the manner in which contemporary discourses in Nordic society are rendered meaningful or obscured by references to past events and tropes related to the practices and ideologies of colonialism. Against the background of Nordic 'exceptionalism', it explores the manner in which the interwoven racial, gendered and nationalistic ideologies associated with the colonial project form part of contemporary Nordic identities. An important challenge to national identities that can become increasingly inward looking, Whiteness and Postcolonialism in the Nordic Region sheds light on the ways in which certain notions and structural inequalities, understood as residue from the colonial period, become recreated or projected onto different groups. Presenting a variety of case studies drawn from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Greenland, Denmark and Iceland, this book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities conducting research in the fields of race and ethnicity, identity and belonging, media representations of 'the other' and colonialism and postcolonialism.

Nordic Private Collections of Chinese Objects by Minna Törmä Pdf

This book explores the ways in which Nordic private collectors displayed their collections of Chinese objects in their homes. This leads to a reconsideration of how to define collecting and display by analysing the difference between objects serving as decorative or collectible items, while tracing collecting and display trends of the twentieth century. Minna Törmä examines four Scandinavian collections as case studies: Kustaa Hiekka, Sophus Black, Osvald Sirén and Marie-Louise and Gunnar Didrichsen, all of whom had professional backgrounds (a jeweler, two businessmen and a scholar) and for whom collecting became a passion and an educational endeavour. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, museum studies, Chinese studies and design history.
