Citizen artists successfully rebuild the social infrastructure in six communities devastated by war, repression and dislocation. Author William Cleveland tells remarkable stories from Northern Ireland, Cambodia, South Africa, United States (Watts, Los Angeles), aboriginal Australia, and Serbia, about artists who resolve conflict, heal unspeakable trauma, give voice to the forgotten and disappeared, and restitch the cultural fabric of their communities. Art can be a powerful agent of personal, institutional and community change. The stories in this book have valuable implications for artists, academics, educators, human service providers, philanthropists, and community leaders throughout the world. The artists documented in the book have generated new technologies for advocacy, organizing, peacemaking, healing trauma and the rebuilding of community. Creativity is our most powerful capacity, and it can mitigate and heal our most destructive tendencies.

Rendering Violence explores the problems and possibilities that the subject of political violence presented to American painters working between 1830 and 1890, a turbulent period during which common citizens frequently abandoned orderly forms of democratic expression to riot, strike, and protest violently. Examining a range of critical texts, this book shows for the first time that nineteenth-century American aesthetic theory defined painting as a privileged vehicle for the representation of political order and the stabilization of liberal-democratic life. Analyzing seven paintings by Thomas Cole, John Quidor, Nathaniel Jocelyn, George Henry Hall, Thomas Nast, Martin Leisser, and Robert Koehler, Ross Barrett reconstructs the strategies that American artists developed to explore the symbolic power of violence in a medium aligned ideologically with lawful democracy. He argues that American paintings of upheaval ÒrenderÓ their subjects in divergent ways. By exploring the inner conflicts that structure these painterly projects, Barrett sheds new light on the politicized pressures that shaped visual representation in the nineteenth century and on the anxieties and ambivalences that have long defined American responses to political turmoil.

Vienna Actionism was the most extreme artistic project of the 1960s, mostly preceding and always surpassing the other performance art, body art and happenings in terms of sheer violent excess. Though never officially a group, Günter Brus, Otto Mühl, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler shared a similar reaction to the restrictive political and cultural climate of the Austrian art scene of the 1950s and 1960s. They established the body as a site of exploration, and its blood, sweat and excrement as art material: performance as the transgression of both social and religious taboo, and art itself as a violent, tragic recognition of brute fact. Others, such as Kurt Kren, Ernst Schmidt Jr., Valie Export and Peter Weibel, used the medium of video and film to critique the repressive aspects of language and mass media, and the Wiener Gruppe (Friedrich Achleitner, Konrad Bayer, Gerhard Rühm, Oswald Wiener) saw language as a visual and acoustic material, and transformed it into collages, happenings and "literary cabarets." This landmark publication includes 1,400 color images, biographies and an illustrated chronology and index of all the "actions," literature and films of the movement now recognized as one of the most significant contributions to postwar European art. This volume will be the standard reference work on Vienna Actionism for years to come.

The book and exhibition present works from the first two decades of the twentieth century from the Kunstmuseum Bonn's collection in dialogue with contemporary creative positions. What the works have in common across the distance of a century is their genesis in, and reflection on, a time of major social and political crisis. Back then, life had been profoundly changed by the industrial revolution; nowadays, climate change, wars, and the rising political power of right-wing ideologies are transforming the life of our communities. The presentation conceives art as a tool that lets us interrogate the world and imparts fresh intellectual impulses, and so also plays an active part in our societies. The title Menschheitsdä mmerung - Dawn of Humanity - is borrowed from the poetry anthology of the same title released by Kurt Pinthus in 1919. Florian Illies, who already wrote an afterword for the 2019 centenary edition of Menschheitsdä mmerung - the bestselling poetry anthology in the history of German literature - contributed the keynote essay in the book.

Abstract: This dissertation addresses the difficulties political violence presented for nineteenth-century American artists, arguing that violent upheaval was so incompatible with democratic beliefs that painters and graphic artists who engaged it were pressured to reframe the subject for period viewers. Focusing on paintings, prints, and illustrations produced after a series of riots, gang battles, and labor conflicts that erupted in the United States between 1830 and 1880, my project charts the strategies that artists developed to redirect the political implications of violence. I address paintings by Thomas Cole, George Henry Hall, Thomas Nast, David Gilmour Blythe, and Martin Leisser, along with popular print images, as sites of experimentation and struggle where artists creatively negotiated period political and aesthetic demands. My project also reconstructs the aesthetic pressures that shaped the representation of political violence, tracing the development of two aesthetic schemes that complicated the picturing of upheaval: an enduring theoretical connection between painting and social order, articulated throughout the period's aesthetic and critical texts, and a sensational print aesthetic that repackaged current events as dazzling visual spectacles. To respond to violent turmoil in their respective media, I argue, painters and graphic artists developed common and divergent strategies to negotiate and resist these aesthetic imperatives, so as to minimize the implications of violent turmoil and explore its creative potential. The dissertation begins by analyzing David Claypoole Johnston's 1835 cartoon collection Scraps and Thomas Cole's painting Destruction (1834-36) as creative responses to the period's riotous epidemic. The second chapter focuses on George Henry Hall's 1858 painting A Dead Rabbit as an attempt to exploit the subject of rioting to craft an experimental and historically-themed figural mode. The third chapter studies artistic efforts to address the meanings of the Draft Riots of 1863 within the lexica of the pictorial press and middle-class lithography. The fourth chapter traces the development of a Molly Maguire myth in images of Civil War-era and postwar labor conflict in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. The dissertation concludes by studying the emergence of new approaches to the picturing of violence in paintings and illustrations of the national railroad strike of 1877.

In 1974, women in a feminist consciousness-raising group in Eugene, Oregon, formed a mock organization called the Ladies Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society. Emblazoning its logo onto t-shirts, the group wryly envisioned female collective textile making as a practice that could upend conventions, threaten state structures, and wreak political havoc. Elaborating on this example as a prehistory to the more recent phenomenon of “craftivism”—the politics and social practices associated with handmaking—Fray explores textiles and their role at the forefront of debates about process, materiality, gender, and race in times of economic upheaval. Closely examining how amateurs and fine artists in the United States and Chile turned to sewing, braiding, knotting, and quilting amid the rise of global manufacturing, Julia Bryan-Wilson argues that textiles unravel the high/low divide and urges us to think flexibly about what the politics of textiles might be. Her case studies from the 1970s through the 1990s—including the improvised costumes of the theater troupe the Cockettes, the braided rag rugs of US artist Harmony Hammond, the thread-based sculptures of Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuña, the small hand-sewn tapestries depicting Pinochet’s torture, and the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt—are often taken as evidence of the inherently progressive nature of handcrafted textiles. Fray, however, shows that such methods are recruited to often ambivalent ends, leaving textiles very much “in the fray” of debates about feminized labor, protest cultures, and queer identities; the malleability of cloth and fiber means that textiles can be activated, or stretched, in many ideological directions. The first contemporary art history book to discuss both fine art and amateur registers of handmaking at such an expansive scale, Fray unveils crucial insights into how textiles inhabit the broad space between artistic and political poles—high and low, untrained and highly skilled, conformist and disobedient, craft and art.
