This book concentrates on the deep historical, political, and institutional relationships between art, education, and excess. Going beyond field specific discourses of art history, art criticism, philosophy, and aesthetics, it explores how the concept of excess has been important and enduring from antiquity through contemporary art, and from early film through the newer interactive media. Examples considered throughout the book focus on disgust, grandiosity, sex, violence, horror, disfigurement, endurance, shock, abundance, and emptiness, and frames them all within an educational context. Together they provide theories and classificatory systems, historical and political interpretations of art and excess, examples of popular culture, and suggestions for the future of educational practice.

Although the idea of excess has often been used to degrade, many of the essays in this collection demonstrate how it has also been used as a strategy for self-fashioning and empowerment, particularly by women and queer subjects. This volume examines a range of material - including ceramics, paintings, caricatures, interior design and theatrical performances - in various global contexts. Each case study sheds new light on how excess has been perceived and constructed, revealing how beliefs about excess have changed over time.

In this fascinating look at the creative power of institutions, Jonah Siegel explores the rise of the modern idea of the artist in the nineteenth century, a period that also witnessed the emergence of the museum and the professional critic. Treating these developments as interrelated, he analyzes both visual material and literary texts to portray a culture in which art came to be thought of in powerful new ways. Ultimately, Siegel shows that artistic controversies commonly associated with the self-consciously radical movements of modernism and postmodernism have their roots in a dynamic era unfairly characterized as staid, self-satisfied, and stable. The nineteenth century has been called the Age of the Museum, and yet critics, art theorists, and poets during this period grappled with the question of whether the proliferation of museums might lead to the death of Art itself. Did the assembly and display of works of art help the viewer to understand them or did it numb the senses? How was the contemporary artist to respond to the vast storehouses of art from disparate nations and periods that came to proliferate in this era? Siegel presents a lively discussion of the shock experienced by neoclassical artists troubled by remains of antiquity that were trivial or even obscene, as well as the anxious aesthetic reveries of nineteenth-century art lovers overwhelmed by the quantity of objects quickly crowding museums and exhibition halls. In so doing, he illuminates the fruitful crises provoked when the longing for admired art is suddenly satisfied. Drawing upon neoclassical art and theory, biographies of early nineteenth-century writers including Keats and Scott, and the writings of art critics such as Hazlitt, Ruskin, and Wilde, this book reproduces a cultural matrix that brings to life the artistic passions and anxieties of an entire era.

"Cuban American painter Gustavo Ojeda (1958-1989) was known primarily for his lush and meditative urban nightscapes, which brought him notoriety in the legendary downtown New York art scene of the 1980s. He exhibited alongside artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Wojnarowicz, Tom Bianchi, and Luis Frangella, before passing away from AIDS-related complications in 1989, just two weeks shy of his 31st birthday. Ojeda's exhibited paintings were notably unpopulated; in his private sketch practice, however, Ojeda complemented and opposed his painting by fixating on the people of New York, filling thousands of pages with disembodied faces, the bodies of sleeping people riding public transportation, and the movement of people within urban space. The selection of sketches presented here showcases Ojeda's enormous productivity not through his most known work but rather through his most private work. In the margins of his sketchbooks, Ojeda often wrote that he felt anxious about his productivity, shaming himself for not being able to paint more before his death. An Excess of Quiet answers Ojeda's worries with the recovery of what was always right in front of him, his most obsessive and tender artistic practice, rendered with adept craftsmanship and rapt attention"--

Directing unprecedented attention to how the idea of ?excess? has been used by both producers and consumers of visual and material culture, this collection examines the discursive construction of excess in relation to art, material goods and people in various global contexts. The contributors illuminate how excess has been perceived, quantified and constructed, revealing in the process how beliefs about excess have changed over time and how they have remained consistent. The collection as a whole underscores the fact that the concept of excess must always be considered critically, whether in scholarship or in lived experience. Although the idea of excess has often been used to shame and degrade, many of the essays in this collection demonstrate how it has also been used as a strategy for self-fashioning, transgression and empowerment, particularly by women and queer subjects. This volume examines a range of material, including diamonds, ceramics, paintings, dollhouses, caricatures, interior design and theatrical performances. Each case study sheds new light on how excess was used in a specific cultural context, including canonical sites of study such as the Netherlands in the eighteenth century, Victorian Britain and Paris in the 1920s, and under-studied contexts such as Canada and Sweden.

The Success of Excess is the story of the evolution of extraordinary art icon, Bill Bowers-a chronological perspective of his life and work over the last six decades set in the geopolitical milieu of these important artistic periods in America. Bill Bowers grew up feeling out of step with the interests and concerns of his peers in Wichita Falls, Texas. He had no desire to become a farmer or a father and instead felt drawn to the outré world of science fiction films of the 1950s. In high school, he listened to the music of his generation on the radio-particularly, The Seeds, a garage band from Los Angeles. After graduation, he moved to LA, just to hear a live performance of the group at the Whiskey A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip. Inspired by the music and fashion on the Strip, Bill began making wearable items for the youth of the 1960s-hippies and Bohemians and later, rockers and punks. He immersed himself in the culture of full-time pleasure-seekers in the dance clubs. When that scene became uncomfortable, due to police crackdowns and the closure of many clubs, Bill and his friends moved north to the mellower more sensual vibe of San Francisco. The mecca of quirkiness embraced Bill and he quickly became and indispensible member of the Cockettes-a group of street performers who morphed into an avant-garde theatrical group that still influences artists to this day. Living in community with all manner people exploring consciousness and creativity, often enhanced by various drugs, freed Bill completely from conventional pursuits. The theatrical costumes he made for the Cockettes led him to sew dimensional clothing that appealed to rock stars and a larger audience of fashionistas. He moved to New York to support the Cockettes performance there, but after their disastrous debut and their subsequent return to the City, Bill stayed to hang around with the East Coast designers, musicians, and actors he had met. His clothing caught the attention of the mainstream and was shown in the windows of Bonwit Teller and Bergdorf Goodman. With support of designer Norma Kamali, he landed a six-page spread in Italian Vogue, and his work was sought out by rockers, such as Alice Cooper and Led Zeppellin. The pressure of success and freezing temperatures in New York inspired Bill's move back to San Francisco. When he returned, he also began taking photographs of the kinky, glam, gay culture of San Francisco, resulting in his first solo photography exhibition in 1976. Eventually, photography would become an essential component of his mixed media pieces. External and personal pressures forced another move away from San Francisco. This time Bill chose Key West, Florida where he had a few friends and the lifestyle was attuned to sun, fun, beaches, bars, parties and porn. Bill hooked up with a writer/entrepreneur and they began a book project of fictionalized "confessions" and staged photos of S and M activities. This drew interest from a New York publisher, but never materialized due to the new plague of HIV/AIDs that curtailed public and private interest in the topic. Within a decade the purposelessness of life in Key West had lost its allure, so Bill began another exodus to San Francisco. However, passing through New Orleans during the Southern Decadence gay Mardi Gras delayed his journey. All the attractions in that city may have kept him there indefinitely, but three years later Bill was diagnosed with HIV. The impact of that medical issue was life changing for Bill-it brought a commitment to re-embrace his true self as an artist and to use his gifts to inspire others. He returned to reside permanently in San Francisco, the center of all medical innovation focusing on his disease, as well as the support and understanding of the surrounding community. Since that day, Bill Bowers' life has not had a dull moment. His creative output is breathtaking and his drive to make art and to share his vision with the world is relentless.

The public does not desire horror, yet enjoys it in art and suffers it in life. When we deal with the monstrous marriage of the abject and the sublime, the consequent thrill of enjoyment is never appeased, always problematic, often unresolved and finally borders on physiological if not pathological narcissism. The public is well acquainted with this ‘rhetoric of effects’; rhetoric of extreme effects, which transforms the spectator into voyeur or victim, into an apathetic torturer, whenever cruelty is shown without respite. A look of horror greets the enjoyment of extremes and enjoyment to the extreme as well; the Eighteenth Century teaches us that lesson. The century of good taste elaborates a sense of the limits, since representing horror means choosing not so much to domesticate it as to render it more enjoyable. It is a game of limits that are not limits anymore, as we can allude to an infinity that often shows the features of the sublime.
