- PublicationContra el placer: el arte que nos aburre(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-03-31) Lee, Chao-Yang[EN] The traditional concept of art is closely related to beauty and also to aesthetic pleasure. However, the emergence of avant‐garde and contemporary art has subverted that imagination. Art no longer seems to be pleasant, but it can also be disgusting and tedious, just like contemporary art that has often been criticized as such. From this point of view, this article attempts to look at the reasons why some art bores its viewers. From the epistemological perspective, we start to examine the philosophical thoughts of Plato and Kant on art, and the critique of Marxist ideology and aesthetics, exploring different perspectives on aesthetic beauty and pleasure. Furthermore, through the aesthetics of ugliness studied by Rosenkranz, of which opens the space for the discourse of negative beauty, we start our deduction of boredom in art. We discover that boredom generated by art does not have an absolute link with beauty and ugliness, but rather it has to do with the subjectivity of the viewers. With the examination of boredom from the perspective of the structure, content, time, mechanical production, and interpretation of the work, we have found that in addition to the characteristics of the work itself, the production of boredom is related to the educational and cultural background of the spectator, as well as to one´s personal taste. Finally, we also question whether art has begun to be boring and unremarkable after the historical progress of art being suspended, owing to “the end of art” suggested by Danto.
- PublicationDesmemoria en el by-pass: «Font Túria», olvido y recuerdo del arte cerámico de Evarist Navarro Segura(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-09-29) Balanzà Martínez, Ricard[EN] This article is an approximation to the poetics of the Valencian sculptor Evarist Navarro Segura (Castelló de Rugat, 1959-2014), who, considering clay as a material for artistic creation, developed with it a thought strategy through which to establish new links with existence through direct experience with the material and its ceramic transubstantiation, as well as its plastic and aesthetic possibilities, where the authenticity of the gesture emerges from the fingers, between caresses and pinches. Sculpture, as a preferred and outstanding discipline within his work, is understood as a continuous process, open to space and time, constructive, organic and imaginative, in a material feeling filled with intimate reverberations that appeals to the senses and the borders of the indefinite. Through the study and cataloging of a public and monumental work by the artist, «Font Túria», on the A-7 motorway as it passes through Paterna (Valencia, Spain) in the section popularly known as by-pass , which is in a total state of abandonment and in danger of disappearing in the not too distant future due to the expansion of the highway, it leads us to reflect on the relation that the artist and the human being establish with the body, the experience of inhabiting, the territory, the identity and the memory.
- PublicationInvestigación Estética(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-09-25) Vilar, Gerard[EN] Some artists prefer to use the expression 'aesthetic research' instead of the usual 'artistic research'. In what sense can this distinction be made? To answer this issue previously it is unavoidable to clarify what is meant by the word 'aesthetics' and briefly revisit the relationship between art and aesthetics, an old problem of theory and practice of art in the second half of the last century. Once this clarification is made, it seems logical to conclude that aesthetic research is a subclass among the many types of artistic research that is distinguished by being focused on those areas in which the aesthetic dimension of the project becomes crucial for the generation of spaces of intelligibility, meaning or sense. There are examples of this type of research in projects on perception of space and / or time. My favorite example would be the Arquitectures of Embodiement project by the Catalan-German artist Alex Arteaga, a research on the ways in which sound interacts with architectural space to generate meaning. The analysis of this example shows that it is important to be able to distinguish aesthetic research from other kinds of artistic research because it deals with the original phenomenon of the generation of intelligibility through the experience of a body.
