"The material history of women s craft precipitates and generates a model for soft resistance in responding to the hard, masculine, patriarchal world. Through an articulation of softness softening materials and technology we can restructure our relationship to hard, material impositions and carve new soft, interwoven, communal-communicative spaces. The opposition is subject to power. Shifting the position of women s craft from striving towards entering and simulating male spaces is a way of manipulating intersectionality. In this particular case, there is a certain intersection and interdisciplinary culture that occurs. On the other hand, what fascinates me in terms of materiality, is that the softness and hardness relationship is polarized by gender-based material and gender mainstreaming. The environment we are living is designed by humans through materials and tools that have been changing continuously. In early history, humans divided themselves by daily duties based on their gender role. There were many domains of this division but one of the elements that interests me is softness and hardness. At that point, the characterization of gender and material create the power balance. Feminizing male material through technology, sculptural and constructive materials (hard) as well as digitizing female material (soft) is the core of the thesis. As a result of the transverse of the material we see the non-binary aspect in my works. Technology is inherently masculine because it is always related to power. Particularly, a computer is a woman-made tool, however it is shown as an inherently male tool. There is an extremely strong relationship between soft-ware and soft-art made and shaped by women at the very beginning. However, hard power (masculine) conquered the tool to use for oppression of women. In my practice, using computer soft-ware is a way to take the tool back and women's soft-empowerment. Soft forms adapt to the body, connect with bodies. However, hard forms impose themselves on the body. If 'softness' is a role that is supposed to be adopted by gender, it is definitely supposed to be internalized by all genders as a soft ideology and as a principle of non-binary identities. In this thesis, I started to research the Anatolian Goddess to understand the history of women's craft practice in the particular region where I am from, in conjunction with that history, especially with regard to materials and tools, softness and hardness, woman and man, tradition and technology. It can be seen in this combination as a concern from my wall pieces. I used wood made of laser cut (software) and fur yarn knitting (tangible softness) behind the wood piece. However, the knitting yarn comes out of the wood with the soft body. This wood can be considered more masculine and the fur-knitted yarn is inherently belong to women's practice. In this piece I show the history of women's technological creation and invention behind the history hidden by patriarchy. The next chapter will examine this more closely. The tools we have now are the most efficient ways of effecting positive change and creating space where women can collaborate organically. The space is either cyber or physical potentiality. And the possibility of access by women that is community, national, and international. The most important point revolves around the communities of women crafters organized around technological crafting methods thanks to the internet, accelerated modes of communication, and the distribution and accessibility of new tools for crafting. It is in these spaces that new modes of making are explored, as well as the formation of strong feminine communities that, through their making, can imagine and build a world beyond the patriarchy."--Artist's abstract

Repressive masculinity is understood as the nature of sculpture, while sculpture’s fundamental states — molded, carved, constructed, surfaced and hard —are then thrown back upon maleness. It was amongst apotheosis of Modernism when amorphousness started to trespass the circuit of masculinity. Right after Salvador Dali signalled the start of the soft genre with his portraiture of the melting watch in The Persistence of Memory, 1931. Soon, the soft object appeared in three-dimensional forms — ‘Soft Sculpture’. Soft sculpture is the type of sculpture made using soft materials like fabric, rope, foam, rubber, plastic, latex, vinyl, fur, felt, paper, fibre and similar material that are supple and nonrigid. This kind of materials consists little of the freedom from the terror of the formless. It dangles, flops and piles up. It does not resist gravity. It is the direct confrontation of natural forces. Soft sculptors must deal with its softness. Soft material evokes certain sensation — forms that are persistent rather than rigid or permanent, and objects that are soft to touch which contains the visceral qualities of the body, that somehow all retains the “memory” of form. In the 1960s the industrialisation and mass production propelled artists to use these nontraditional art materials and often instills with craft and textile skills. Because the material itself has the significant history associated with women and women’s role, it had to endure gendered (feminine) bias. This study investigates the general materialism of soft sculpture — how the style transfigured from 20th century’s image of rationality; its anti-form quality; and the hierarchy of the ‘low’ craft and ‘high’ art world which derive from the gendered bias. I challenged myself to confront the obstinate material with things and bodies that it must regulate or exclude: in particular, bodies in the transition form one state to the next, from male to female, hard to soft.

Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.

Begun in 2010 as part of the “Histories of Literatures in European Languages” series sponsored by the International Comparative Literature Association, the current project on New Literary Hybrids in the Age of Multimedia Expression recognizes the global shift toward the visual and the virtual in all areas of textuality: the printed, verbal text is increasingly joined with the visual, often electronic, text. This shift has opened up new domains of human achievement in art and culture. The international roster of 24 contributors to this volume pursue a broad range of issues under four sets of questions that allow a larger conversation to emerge, both inside the volume’s sections and between them. The four sections cover, 1) Multimedia Productions in Theoretical and Historical Perspective; 2) Regional and Intercultural Projects; 3) Forms and Genres; and, 4) Readers and Rewriters in Multimedia Environments. The essays included in this volume are examples of the kinds of projects and inquiries that have become possible at the interface between literature and other media, new and old. They emphasize the extent to which hypertextual, multimedia, and virtual reality technologies have enhanced the sociality of reading and writing, enabling more people to interact than ever before. At the same time, however, they warn that, as long as these technologies are used to reinforce old habits of reading/ writing, they will deliver modest results. One of the major tasks pursued by the contributors to this volume is to integrate literature in the global informational environment where it can function as an imaginative partner, teaching its interpretive competencies to other components of the cultural landscape.
