Group Discussion: Art and Visual Culture

Assignment Goals:

What is Visual Culture?

Visual Culture is the totality and visual objects produced in the industrial and post industrial nations and the ways those images are disseminated, received, and used. Visual Culture scholars study visual media of all sorts as well as the “centrality of vision and the visual world in producing meanings, [and] establishing and maintaining aesthetic values, gender stereotypes, and power relations within cultures.” -Irit Rogoff, On Visual Culture

We live in an age where we under a constant assault by visual imagery. Images compete with words as our main modes of communication. Don’t believe me? 😳👁🤷🕵️‍♂️🤳🎓Scholars, like Rogoff, maintain that our eager consumption of images fills our lives with virtual experiences that replace real life. These images generate emotions related to pleasure, power, and fantasy.

Visual culture is concerned with spectacle, or a visually striking performance or display. Visual culture is also transitional. In some cases it doesn’t make any sense the source of some art by geography. An artist may be based in New York, have a studio to make work in China, and exhibit their work in Paris. So, is the work American, Chinese, or French? Visual culture is often collaborative. A team of artisans, performers, and engineers may be part of the process in the realization of an artwork.

Nick Cave: Nick Cave Brings Art, Sculpture to Life, 2016. (5:22 Min)

Nick Cave creates “Soundsuits”—surreally majestic objects blending fashion and sculpture—that originated as metaphorical suits of armor in response to the Rodney King beatings and have evolved into vehicles for empowerment. Fully concealing the body, the “Soundsuits” serve as an alien second skin that obscures race, gender, and class, allowing viewers to look without bias towards the wearer’s identity. Cave regularly performs in the sculptures himself, dancing either before the public or for the camera, activating their full potential as costume, musical instrument, and living icon. Cave’s sculptures also include non-figurative assemblages, intricate accumulations of found objects that project out from the wall, and installations enveloping entire rooms.

Tanya Aguiñiga, Borderlands, 2020. (17:25 Min)

Reflecting the cultural hybridity and community of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, the artist discusses her upbringing in Tijuana, her training as a furniture and craft designer, and her artistic beginnings with the Border Art Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo collective.
