Contemporary Practice in Studio Art Therapy

Contemporary Practice in Studio Art Therapy

Contemporary Practice in Studio Art Therapy discovers where studio practice stands in the profession today and reflects on how changing social political and economic contexts have influenced its ethos and development. This is the first UK volume devoted to studio art therapy and the writers explore what is meant by a studio approach and how they are adapting art-based practices in radical new ways and settings. It comprises three parts – Part I: Frames of reference explores how particular social cultural and political contexts have led to the discourses within practice; Part II: Models of practice gives accounts of current studio art therapy practice describing rationale for working methods and providing a resource for practitioners; Part III: Curating exhibiting and archiving considers how the display and disposal of artworks particularly relevant to studio approaches may be thought about and implemented. The book includes chapters from North American authors who illustrate a trajectory of practice that has the potential to point to future developments. The book will be essential reading for practitioners and students who are interested in taking a fresh perspective on art therapy and will be encouraged by new ways of thinking about the studio approach in today’s changing world.

Studio Studies Operations Topologies & Displacements

Studio Studies Operations Topologies & Displacements

Consider the vast array of things around you from the building you are in the lights illuminating the interior the computational devices mediating your life the music in the background even the crockery furniture and glassware you are in the presence of. Common to all these objects is that their concrete visual and technological forms were invariably conceived modelled finished and tested in sites characterised as studios. Remarkably the studio remains a peculiar lacuna in our understanding of how cultural artefacts are brought into being and how ‘creativity’ operates as a located practice. Studio Studies is an agenda setting volume that presents a set of empirical case studies that explore and examine the studio as a key setting for aesthetic and material production. As such Studio Studies responds to three contemporary concerns in social and cultural thought: first how to account for the situated nature of creative and cultural production; second the challenge of reimagining creativity as a socio-materially distributed practice rather than the cognitive privilege of the individual; and finally to unravel the parallels contrasts and interconnections between studios and other sites of cultural-aesthetic and technoscientific production notably laboratories. By enquiring into the operations topologies and displacements that shape and format studios this volume aims to demarcate a novel and important object of analysis for empirical social and cultural research as well to develop new conceptual repertoires to unpack the multiple ways studio processes shape our everyday lives. | Studio Studies Operations Topologies & Displacements

The Art of Record Production Creative Practice in the Studio

The Art of Record Production Creative Practice in the Studio

The playback of recordings is the primary means of experiencing music in contemporary society and in recent years 'classical' musicologists and popular music theorists have begun to examine the ways in which the production of recordings affects not just the sound of the final product but also musical aesthetics more generally. Record production can indeed be treated as part of the creative process of composition. At the same time training in the use of these forms of technology has moved from an apprentice-based system into university education. Musical education and music research are thus intersecting to produce a new academic field: the history and analysis of the production of recorded music. This book is designed as a general introductory reader a text book for undergraduate degree courses studying the creative processes involved in the production of recorded music. The aim is to introduce students to the variety of approaches and methodologies that are currently being employed by scholars in this field. The book is divided into three sections covering historical approaches theoretical approaches and case studies and practice. There are also three interludes of commentary on the academic contributions from leading record producers and other industry professionals. This collection gives students and scholars a broad overview of the way in which academics from the analytical and practice-based areas of the university system can be brought together with industry professionals to explore the ways in which this new academic field should progress. | The Art of Record Production Creative Practice in the Studio

Love's Labor Essays on Women Equality and Dependency

Love's Labor Essays on Women Equality and Dependency

This new edition of Eva Feder Kittay’s feminist classic Love’s Labor explores how theories of justice and morality must be reconfigured when intersecting with care and dependency and the failure of policy towards women who engage in care work. The work is hailed as a major contribution to the development of an ethics of care. Where society is viewed as an association of equal and autonomous persons the work of caring for dependents figures neither in political theory nor in social policy. While some women have made many gains equality continues to elude many others as in large measure social institutions fail to take into account the dependency of childhood illness disability and frail old age and fail to adequately support those who care for dependents. Using a narrative of her experiences caring for her disabled daughter Eva Feder Kittay discusses the relevance of her analysis of dependency to significant cognitive disability. She explores the significance of dependency work by analyzing John Rawls' influential liberal theory and two examples of public policy—welfare reform and family leave—to show how theory and policy fail women when they miss the centrality of dependency to issues of justice. This second edition has updated material on care workers her adult disabled daughter and key changes in welfare reform. Using a mix of personal reflection and political argument this new edition of a classic text will continue to be an innovative and influential contribution to the debate on searching for greater equality and justice for women. Love’s Labor has spoken to audiences around the world and has had an impact on readers from many countries and in many disciplines: philosophy sociology disability studies nursing. It has been required and supplementary reading on many undergraduate courses on Ethics Feminist Ethics Gender and Religious Ethics Political Theory Bioethics and Disability Studies. It has been translated into Italian Japanese and Korean. | Love's Labor Essays on Women Equality and Dependency

Theatre Studios A Political History of Ensemble Theatre-Making

Theatre Studios A Political History of Ensemble Theatre-Making

Theatre Studios explores the history of the studio model in England first established by Konstantin Stanislavsky Jacques Copeau and others in the early twentieth century and later developed in the UK primarily by Michel Saint-Denis George Devine Michael Chekhov and Joan Littlewood whose studios are the focus of this study. Cornford offers in-depth accounts of the radical collective work of these leading theatre companies of the mid-twentieth century considering the models of ensemble theatre-making that they developed and their remnants in the newly publicly-funded UK theatre establishment of the 1960s. In the process this book develops an approach to understanding the politics of artistic practices rooted in the work of John Dewey Antonio Gramsci and the standpoint feminists. It concludes by considering the legacy of the studio movement for twenty-first-century theatre partly by tracking its echoes in the work of Secret Theatre at the Lyric Hammersmith (2013–2015). Students and makers of theatre alike will find in this book a provocative and illuminating analysis of the politics of performance-making and a history of the theatre as a site for developing counterhegemonic radically democratic anti-individualist forms of cultural production. | Theatre Studios A Political History of Ensemble Theatre-Making

Design Technology in Contemporary Architectural Practice

Design Technology in Contemporary Architectural Practice

Design Technology in Contemporary Architectural Practice lifts the curtain to unveil how eleven world-leading design studios integrate technology (such as computational design BIM and digital fabrication) as part of their day-to-day design exploration and delivery. Via first-hand accounts the book offers rare insights about how these firms apply technology to purposefully disrupt and support their creative design processes in order to then explore how technology can be integrated on an organisational level. The resulting practice stories are loosely tied to four chapters that discuss how Design Technology corresponds to studio culture collaboration and delivery protocols business opportunities knowledge sharing staff empowerment and more. The author is less interested in presenting the latest and greatest tools than in focusing on cultural and organisational challenges and opportunities. This book benefits both the professional market (such as design firms reflecting on their technology use) as well as the academic context (with its critical reflection on the interface between design process and technology support). Stories from the following design firms are included: Coop Himmelb(l)au Foster + Partners Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) Zaha Hadid Architects Diller Scofidio + Renfo Heatherwick Studio Morphosis Architects SO-IL Woods Bagot Herzog & de Meuron LASSA

The Artwork of Gerhard Richter Painting Critical Theory and Cultural Transformation

The Artwork of Gerhard Richter Painting Critical Theory and Cultural Transformation

By uniquely treating Gerhard Richter’s entire oeuvre as a single subject Darryn Ansted combines research into Richter’s first art career as a socialist realist with study of his subsequent decisions as a significant contemporary artist. Analysis of Richter’s East German murals early work lesser known paintings and destroyed and unfinished pieces buttress this major re-evaluation of Richter’s other well known but little understood paintings. By placing the reader in the artist’s studio and examining not only the paintings but the fraught and surprising decisions behind their production Richter’s methodology is deftly revealed here as one of profound yet troubled reflection on the shifting identity culture and ideology of his period. This rethinking of Richter’s oeuvre is informed by salient analyses of influential theorists ranging from Theodor Adorno to Slavoj Žižek as throughout meticulous visual analysis of Richter’s changing aesthetic strategies shows how he persistently attempts to retrace the border between an objective reality structured by ideology and his subjective experience as a contemporary painter in the studio. Its innovative combination of historical accuracy philosophical depth and astute visual analysis will make this an indispensible guide for both new audiences and established scholars of Richter’s painting. | The Artwork of Gerhard Richter Painting Critical Theory and Cultural Transformation
