First published in Spanish in 2010, Art beyond Itself is Néstor García Canclini's deft assessment of contemporary art. The renowned cultural critic suggests that, ideally, art is the place of imminence, the place where we glimpse something just about to happen. Yet, as he demonstrates, defining contemporary art and its role in society is an ever more complicated endeavor. Museums, auction houses, artists, and major actors in economics, politics, and the media are increasingly chummy and interdependent. Art is expanding into urban development and the design and tourism industries. Art practices based on objects are displaced by practices based on contexts. Aesthetic distinctions dissolve as artworks are inserted into the media, urban spaces, digital networks, and social forums. Oppositional artists are adrift in a society without a clear story line. What, after all, counts as transgression in a world of diverse and fragmentary narratives? Seeking a new analytic framework for understanding contemporary art, García Canclini is attentive to particular artworks; to artists including Francis Alÿs, León Ferrari, Teresa Margolles, Antoni Muntadas, and Gabriel Orozco; and to efforts to preserve, for art and artists, some degree of independence from religion, politics, the media, and the market.

In response to recent developments in pictorial practice and critical discourse, Painting beyond Itself: The Medium in the Post-medium Condition seeks new ways to approach and historicize the question of the medium. Reaching back to the earliest theoretical and institutional definitions of painting, this book—based on a conference at Harvard University in 2013—focuses on the changing role of materiality in establishing painting as the privileged practice, discourse, and institution of modernity. Myriad conceptions of the medium and its specificity are explored by an international group of scholars, critics, and artists. Painting beyond Itself is a forum for rich historical, theoretical, and practice-grounded conversation. Contributors Carol Armstrong, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Sabeth Buchmann, René Démoris, Isabelle Graw, David Joselit, Jutta Koether, Ewa Lajer-Burcharth, Jacqueline Lichtenstein, Julie Mehretu, Matt Saunders, Amy Sillman Institut für Kunstkritik Series

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's seminal work, "The Philosophy of Fine Art" (Volumes 1-3), offers a profound exploration of the interplay between art, culture, and philosophy. Hegel employs a dialectical method to analyze the evolution of artistic expression, asserting that art serves as a manifestation of the Absolute Spirit. Through detailed examinations of various art forms—visual arts, music, and literature—Hegel delves into their aesthetic qualities while situating them within historical contexts. His dense yet poetic prose invites readers to reflect on the nature of beauty and the role of the artist in society, ultimately positing that art reveals the underlying rationality of the world itself. Hegel, a pivotal figure in German Idealism, draws on his background in philosophy, history, and aesthetics to enrich his arguments. His engagement with contemporary thinkers and the socio-political landscape of 19th-century Europe profoundly influenced his reflections on art. Hegel's belief in the power of human creativity is underscored by his conviction that art not only reflects but also shapes human consciousness, making it a vital element of cultural development. This remarkable scholarly work is essential for those seeking to comprehend the complexities of art through a philosophical lens. It appeals to art historians, philosophers, and anyone fascinated by the intersections of creativity and intellectual thought. Hegel's insights invite readers to reconsider their understanding of art's role in cultivating the human experience.

Pop art has traditionally been the most visible visual art within popular culture because its main transgression is easy to understand: the infiltration of the “low” into the “high”. The same cannot be said of contemporary art of the 21st century, where the term “Gaga Aesthetics” characterizes the condition of popular culture being extensively imbricated in high culture, and vice-versa. Taking Adorno and Horkheimer's "The Culture Industry" and Adorno's Aesthetic Theory as key touchstones, this book explores the dialectic of high and low that forms the foundation of Adornian aesthetics and the extent to which it still applied, and the extent to which it has radically shifted, thereby 'upending tradition'. In the tradition of philosophical aesthetics that Adorno began with Lukács, this explores the ever-urgent notion that high culture has become deeply enmeshed with popular culture. This is “Gaga Aesthetics”: aesthetics that no longer follows clear fields of activity, where “fine art” is but one area of critical activity. Indeed, Adorno's concepts of alienation and the tragic, which inform his reading of the modernist experiment, are now no longer confined to art. Rather, stirring examples can be found in phenomena such as fashion and music video. In addition to dealing with Lady Gaga herself, this book traverses examples ranging from Madonna's Madam X to Moschino and Vetements, to deliberate on the strategies of subversion in the culture industry.

Art troubles anthropology. Anthropologists have often taken a philistine, sceptical position of distance towards art and aesthetics as a predominantly Western bourgeois institution. But art, not only as a Western institution, generated its own philistine and iconoclastic revisions and undoings, its anti-art, that have engaged anthropology into its theory and practice. Anthropology is thus part of the trouble with art. But trouble doesn’t necessarily obfuscate, it can also reveal and render visible fault lines and problems; troubles can be assemblages of disparate and even contradictory parts that paradoxically do work together. This volume proposes an anthropology that moves beyond philistinism and the contradictions between critical anthropologies of art and collaborative and experimental anthropologies with art.

Refuting the assumption that art is a representational practice, this book engages with the work of Heidegger, Deleuze and Guattari, C.S. Pierce and Judith Butler. It argues for a performative relationship between art and artist. Drawing on themes as diverse as the work of Cezanne and Francis Bacon, the transubstantiation of the Catholic sacrament, and Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray", she challenges the metaphor of light as entertainment. She suggests that too much "light" may in fact reveal nothing. Finally, she asks: how does an "embodied" practice fare within the culture of conceptual art?

Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics, delivered multiple times in Berlin and published posthumously based on his notes and student transcripts, represent his most comprehensive treatment of art's nature and historical development. These lectures establish art as a crucial manifestation of absolute spirit, alongside religion and philosophy, while tracing its development through symbolic, classical, and romantic forms. Despite being compiled from lecture notes, they stand as one of the most influential treatments of aesthetic theory in philosophical history. The lectures develop Hegel's understanding of art as the sensuous presentation of absolute truth. He traces how different art forms - architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and poetry - embody different relationships between spiritual content and material form. The symbolic art of the ancient Near East, where meaning and form remain inadequately united, gives way to classical Greek art's perfect balance, followed by romantic art's privileging of spiritual content over sensuous form. This historical development parallels art's movement from architecture's materiality through sculpture and painting to music and poetry's increasing spiritualization. Central to these lectures is Hegel's controversial thesis about the "end of art" - not art's literal death but its supersession by religion and philosophy as primary vehicles of truth. This claim emerges from his analysis of how romantic art, particularly in its modern forms, moves beyond art's essential nature as sensuous presentation of truth. The lectures also contain detailed analyses of specific artworks and genres, showing how philosophical aesthetics can illuminate concrete artistic phenomena while relating them to broader spiritual and historical developments. This modern unabridged translation includes an afterword that situates these writings within Hegel's larger philosophical system, providing essential context on the historical and intellectual milieu that shaped his ideas. Alongside a detailed timeline of Hegel's life and works, the afterword explores how this text connects to his broader contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, and social philosophy. The translation employs modern, reader-friendly language, accompanied by a scholarly apparatus designed to immerse contemporary readers in Hegel's intellectual world while emphasizing his enduring relevance today. The translation and accompanying commentary aim to bridge the gap between Hegels intricate theoretical frameworks and the modern readers quest for understanding, shedding light on his impact on philosophy (including Marx) and beyond. Hegel, often considered one of the most challenging philosophers due to the vast scope and complexity of his thought, is rendered more approachable in this Afterword through the lens of interpretations by influential thinkers such as Tolstoy, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Heidegger. Tolstoy wrote in his "What is Art?" (1898): "According to Hegel (1770-1831), God is manifested in nature and art in the form of beauty. God is expressed in two ways: in object and subject, in nature and spirit. Beauty is the illumination of the idea through matter. Truly beautiful is only the spirit and all that is involved in the spirit, and therefore the beauty of nature is only a reflection of the beauty inherent in the spirit: the beautiful has only spiritual content. But to manifest the spiritual must be in a sensual form. The sensual manifestation of the spirit is only visibility (Schein). And this very visibility is the only reality of the beautiful. So art is the realization of this visibility of the idea, and is a means, along with religion and philosophy, to bring to consciousness and express the deepest tasks of people and the highest truths of the spirit. Truth and beauty, according to Hegel, are one and the same; the only difference is that truth is the idea itself, as it exists and is conceivable in itself. The idea, however, manifested outwardly, for consciousness becomes not only true, but also beautiful. The beautiful is the manifestation of the idea."

The early nineteenth century philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is an important figure of German idealism, who achieved wide recognition within the continental tradition of philosophy. He has since become increasingly influential in the analytic tradition and his canonical stature within Western philosophy is universally recognised. Hegel’s principal achievement was his development of a distinctive articulation of idealism, in which the dualisms of mind and nature and subject and object are overcome. His philosophy of spirit conceptually integrates psychology, the state, history, art, religion and philosophy.

In 'The Essential Works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,' the reader is introduced to a comprehensive selection of Hegel's philosophical writings, encapsulating his groundbreaking ideas on dialectics, the nature of reality, and the development of self-consciousness. This compilation manifests Hegel's distinctive literary style, characterized by intricate syntax and profound conceptual density, which invites rigorous engagement. Examining themes such as freedom, ethics, and history, the book situates Hegel within the intellectual currents of German Idealism, elucidating his influence on various fields, including philosophy, political theory, and theology. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern philosophy. His formative years, marked by the Enlightenment and the tumult of the French Revolution, imbued him with a sense of history as a progressive force. This context, coupled with his academic pursuits in Tübingen and Jena, led Hegel to synthesize previous philosophical traditions into a dialectical framework that deeply critiques and reshapes them, making his ideas central to understanding philosophical discourse. This collection is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Hegel's philosophical framework and its enduring relevance. Engaging with these works not only enhances comprehension of Hegelian thought but also enriches one's perspective on contemporary philosophical debates, making it an indispensable read for scholars, students, and inquisitive minds alike.
