Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life

Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life

Janet Kraynak

University of California Press
2020
sidottu
Digitization is the animating force of everyday life. Rather than defining it as a technology or a medium, Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life argues that digitization is a socio-historical process that is contributing to the erosion of democracy and an increase in political inequality, specifically along racial, ethnic, and gender lines. Taking a historical approach, Janet Kraynak finds that the seeds of these developments are paradoxically related to the ideology of digital utopianism that emerged in the late 1960s with the rise of a social model of computing, a set of beliefs furthered by the neo-liberal tech ideology in the 1990s, and the popularization of networked computing. The result of this ongoing cultural worldview, which dovetails with the principles of progressive artistic strategies of the past, is a critical blindness in art historical discourse that ultimately compromises art’s historically important role in furthering radical democratic aims.

Nauman Reiterated

Nauman Reiterated

Janet Kraynak

University of Minnesota Press
2014
nidottu
Bruce Nauman has been a force in the art world since the early 1960s with his challenging audio and video installations, photographic art, neon art, and sculptures. However, until now there has been surprisingly little sustained critical analysis of his extraordinary oeuvre. Nauman Reiterated offers the first scholarly assessment of the artist’s production with an in-depth thematic investigation of key works created between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. Janet Kraynak argues that the coherence of Nauman’s art can be found not in conventional categorizations of style, medium, or technique, but through understanding the artistic and cultural conditions that led to an interdisciplinary aesthetic of performance, which emerged in relation to technologies of reproduction, inscription, and recording. Kraynak provides a portrait of an artist who regularly defies expectations and genres, showing how Nauman’s work responds to historical problems that have only increased in importance since he first addressed them, especially the technologization of society initiated by electronic media. Nauman’s reaction to the technological takeover of modern society, Kraynak suggests, is reiteration. Building from these observations, Kraynak explores how performance is intimately associated with the acceleration toward a fully technological society, which sees new modes of electronic recording and reproduction, the growth of information technologies, and the consolidation of technocracy.Through extensive archival research Kraynak has written a revealing examination of Nauman’s thought-provoking and protean work.

The Rise of the Therapeutic Museum

The Rise of the Therapeutic Museum

Janet Kraynak

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
This book considers when and why respite rooms, emotional support brochures, well-beingguides, psychological consultants, and care days become common features in the museum ofart.Kraynak poses and answers this question, arguing that under its rightful ambition todecolonize––i.e. to rectify past and present inequalities–– the museum of the Global North isgradually replacing a commitment to knowledge, teaching, and learning with a focus uponcare, healing and well-being (the “therapeutic”). While this transformation might appear, onthe surface, benign, culturally familiar, and politically desirable, the author counters thesepresumptions probing the history and implications of “the therapeutic museum.” Here,curatorial attention shifts away from the art on view and onto the spectator, who the museumimagines as a precarious psychological subject, and primary source of meaning. Externalforces–– new forms of knowledge, encounters with difficulty, even an engagement with art––are treated as a potential threat. As a result, the therapeutic museum not only encourages thebeholder to turn inward, but in so doing deflects attention from or scrutiny of its ownpractices and systems that perpetuate inequality. Among these are the ongoing legaciescolonialism’s epistemic violence, which elevated the knowledge and aesthetic traditions ofthe Global North while suppressing those of the Global South. In contrast, the book proposesa “pluriversal” (versus universal) museum that maintains the political necessity ofknowledge, and views pedagogy as a path to emancipation. Emphasizing epistemic justiceand the moral right to learn during a time when such freedoms are increasingly under attack,the book makes a powerful case for questioning rather than romanticizing the therapeuticmuseum, which it ultimately reveals to reinforce rather than challenge dominant power.This is an important intervention that is essential reading for researchers and scholars in ArtHistory, Visual Studies, Museum Studies and Cultural Studies.

About Janet: My Grandmother's Stories by Keith BrowerAn engaging recollection of one woman's journey from Quebec to rural Alberta post WWI as told by Janet's own captivated grandson--the author and artist, Keith Brower.What Others Have Said About Janet: My Grandmother's Stories"Keith Brower has captured the fascinating story of his maternal grandmother's migration from the English speaking eastern townships of Quebec to the farming life of east central Alberta after WWI. Important, the author's grasp of the English language creates the required pictures for the reader's imagination to stay with the story line. The stories have been organized on basic chronological sequence but the memories are not verbatim accounts; the memories of his grandmother's stories are re-told in the author's own words. The book will make an important contribution to understanding the post WWI development of Alberta. The added feature is the drawings at the beginning of each chapter which are the author's own artistic contribution."- Dr. David Rainey, Senior Research Fellow, UK

Janet ist die Vertraute und gelegentliche Geliebte Agnews, des Chefs eines international agierenden Konzerns. Die dritte Person ist Spiro. Je nach seinem Ermessen umwirbt er Janet, umschmeichelt sie, zuweilen mobbt er sie, damit er seinem Auftraggeber Erfolge vorweisen kann - ja, er geht auch so weit, dass er sie mit brisanten Fotos konfrontiert, die ihm von seiner Organisation zur Verf gung gestellt wurden. Er droht, sie ins Netz zu stellen. Dabei dient ihm Janet nur als Schl sselfigur. Denn nicht sie ist die Zielperson, sondern Agnew, der erfolgreiche Manager. Aber sie ist die einzige Person, die Zugang zu ihm hat. Am Ende seiner Bem hungen muss sich Spiro eingestehen, dass er seit der ersten Kontaktaufnahme in Janet verliebt ist. Die Diskrepanz zwischen seinem Auftrag, sie bis zum letzten Tropfen auszusaugen und seiner Zuneigung zu ihr setzt ungeahnte Kr fte frei, bei ihr wie bei ihm.
