	The art of being church \| open source theology
		It is characteristic of postmodern art that the relationship between the artist and the work of art produced is not as straightforward as we are accustomed to expect.
		Conventionally an art object such as a painting or sculpture is understood to be the work of an individual artist, and its public value depends, to a degree at least, on the identity and status of that artist - a convention that is readily exploited for commercial purposes.
		Art collectives are highly motivated, energetic communities that have formed for the purpose of communicating through art a public and political message.

	classical music - andante - "the greatest work of art in the entire cosmos"
		Imagine this, that I could create a work of art now and you all were not only surprised, but you would fall down immediately, you would be dead and you would be reborn, because it is simply too insane.
		Moreover, there is something called "the art of war" which necessarily involves campaigns of death and destruction — and there was something artful to the war-like, deadly events of 11 September.
		Stockhausen, in focusing on the formal and visual elements of the terrorist deathwork, forgot the idea that (as Bach indicated in all of his manuscripts) all art should be created for the greater glory of God — unless, of course, you have some perverted notion of what God is.

	The Reluctant Death of Modernism
		The relevance of Modernist art as a reaction to two horrific world wars is slipping away into history with the replacement of the generations who have participated in the artistic world of the modern period with that of our current disenfranchised, dissatisfied generation and the historic punctuation of the turn of the century.
		Modern and Post-modern art is now the art of the wealthy establishment, appreciated by the elite group of critics and collectors who maintain the intellectual facade that hides the truth that this world of art is a joke perpetrated and maintained to destroy a culture that has gone.
		With the turn of the millennium, the entire twentieth century began to sound old-fashioned, and in the future all the art that is currently enveloped in smug post-modern intellectual wrapping paper is going to be revealed in its naked vulnerability as part of the ugliest period of art that the human race has seen.

		It may also be read as a strategic evasion of the dilemma that artists and commentators from outside the trans-Atlantic art centers have long faced: how to contextualize their practice internationally without being read as imitators on the one hand, or purveyors of a neo-exoticism on the other.
		The national art collection in particular was treated as a palimpsest, its supporting texts rewritten to corroborate the motives of an officialized culture industry, with Te Papa as its flagship.
		It is tempting to interpret this trend simplistically as an example of contemporary art being co-opted by the culture industry to serve the imperatives of globalization.

	Transgressive art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transgressional works share some themes with art that deals with psychological dislocation and mental illness.
		Examples of this relationship, between social transgression and the exploration of mental states relating to illness, include many of the activities and works of the Dadaists and Surrealists and, in literature, Albert Camus's L'Etranger or J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.
		Subsequent transgressive artists of the '90s overlapped the boundaries of literature, art, literature and music, most notably GG Allin, Lisa Crystal Carver, Costes and Dame Darcy.

	Visual provocation - Book Review Art in America - Find Articles
		Anthony Julius's Transgressions is a taxonomy buttressed by a history and supporting, in its turn, a glum judgment about the state of contemporary art.
		According to Julius, there are three types of transgressive art: one "breaks art's own rules"; another breaks social or religious taboos; and the third offends against the authority of a political regime.
		There have always been transgressive artworks; transgressions are as old--almost as old--as the rules they violate or the proprieties they offend.

	Fiction Collective 2 -- A Literary Alternative Since 1974
		The art I'm most interested in is art that questions what we tend to take for granted.
		Art at the very least causes us to look at our segmentation in a new way, causes us to develop a new awareness of the ethical field that regulates us.
		But the art I'm most interested in goes quite a bit beyond this: it refuses to be contained, it accelerates the viewer or the reader outside of the known world, and disrupts or dissipates or changes the person subjected to it.

		Transgressive art refers to art forms that transgress; i.e.
		From a collegiate perspective, many traces of transgression can be found in any art which by some is considered offensive because of its shock value; from the French Salon des Refusés artists to Dada and surrealism.
		In China several artists became well known for producing transgressive art, including Zhu Yu, who achieved notoriety when he published images of himself eating what appeared to be a human fetus, Yang Zhi Chao for extreme body art, and Peng Yu for killing animals.

	Art/Museums: Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery/Recent Art at the Jewish Museum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		There are a few quite good works of art in the show, but much of it is rather trite and shallow sensationalism.
		The show, however, is completely appropriate to be shown at the Jewish Museum for it challenges artists and art-lovers to try to come to grips with stereotyped images about Nazis and the whole incredible and horrible phenomenon of Nazism and, perhaps more importantly, about the the evil of complacency in the mass culture era.
		They will, however, most likely come away with a conviction that evil must not be swept under the carpet, ignored, forgotten, and not addressed and that art is an important weapon in dealing with the challenge of evil as well as with the challenge of living and surviving and creating.

		Some ancient art that we think of as devoted to “fertility” may actually have been created mostly for purposes of sexual arousal (we simply don’t know), but only a tiny fragment of modern pornography has had more than a smidgen of intelligent aesthetics in it.
		There is also so-called transgressive art that involves blatantly theatrical sexuality but not necessarily any intent to arouse desire; the Mexican performance artist Ema Villanueva has described her politically tinged bouts of public nudity as an attempt to kill the little censor that still lives inside her.
		Granted, the loveliest erotic art in the world was produced by those Asian cultures for which sexuality is merely one more desire requiring a cure, just like the passion for possessions or personal greatness.

		Anthony Julius's difficult but absorbing account of transgression in art is a welcome wake-up call, a bracing challenge to a self-styled avant-garde that is now the new orthodoxy.
		For Julius, transgressive art is inspired by the romantic notion of the artist as genius and rule-breaker, and defines itself by its challenge to established art practice and its contempt for the cherished beliefs of its audience.
		Olympia, Manet's reclining nude, was immediately identified as a prostitute, a familiar figure in art whose threat to decorum was usually defused by religious allegory or harem stage-sets.

		The conventional wisdom, at least in the art world, is that it only pisses off the people who need to rethink their position, but even so, transgressive art intentionally pushes buttons, if not the envelope, and tells the viewer, every viewer, in fact: THINK MY WAY.
		What bothers me about the tradition of transgressive art, though, is how it has evolved to where too many transgressive artist expect, rather than to be despised in their time, to instead be appreciated, if not loved.
		Outsider art is rich in social and symbolic overtones as diverse as the quirks and whimsies of the human psyche.

	FIRST THINGS: On the Square
		Characteristic of postmodernist art is transgression, the idea that the artist ought to produce works that violate traditional moral and aesthetic norms.
		However that may be, transgression remains popular with artists themselves because it allows them to pretend to speak truth to power, to pose as courageous intellectuals exposing the pretensions and predations of the bourgeois power structure.
		Given a chance to transgress the norms of a power structure that fights back against transgressors, the artists at the Deutsche Oper folded immediately, thus demonstrating to the world what we knew all along, that postmodern artists are courageous only when in no real danger.

	News & Views
		The Museum’s director, Joan Rosenbaum, when asked about her institution’s endorsement of the art exhibited, responded by saying: “This is art with a message, political art, so we’re not talking about aesthetic issues, by and large.”6 The heat of public reaction died down without igniting a major crisis.
		One might note, in addition, that at the same time he was declaring war on “culture,” Goering had an “appreciation” for the art object and was building for himself a fortune in stolen art, becoming one of the biggest art thieves in history.
		Pursuing this train of thought, one finds yet further confirmation that human catastrophe is not in itself resistant to aesthetic exploration, but merely poses the daunting challenge to any artist prepared to address the topic, that her efforts are bound to elicit reactions based on taste at the expense of criticism.

		All in all, David’s art was meant to reassure elite French sentiment by assimilating it to the authority and success of classical Roman culture.
		His work is part of a transgressive tradition that may have started as a shocking, liberating experience for its viewers but is now a profoundly reassuring and confirming experience for most.
		And let’s be honest folks, transgressive art tends to be a caricature of the grandiose ambition of David’s work.

	Art=Design=Invention: 1912 Whitney Bi-Perpetual
		After 92 years of the shocking, transgressive challenge of the avant-garde, once again the unenlightened bourgeoisie can don their tails and top hats, derbies and waistcoats to shout their indignant cries of "You call this ART?!!" at the Whitney Biennial.
		Our cutting-edge world of the year 1912 is not only notable as being the actual, perpetual date inside the Whitney Museum, but also for the invention of Hellmanns mayonnaise, Lifesavers candy, and hamburger buns, and is the year that some Madison Ave.
		We sophisticates on the cutting edge of today's avant-garde of the year 1912 have seen all manner of this "abstract painting" since at least 1908, yawned as it's power to shock and disturb began to fade by 1910, and after nearly 4 years it's getting a little worn out as per shock value.

		Transgressions is the first book to address this controversial subject.
		Anthony Julius traces its history from the outraged response to Manet's Dejeuner sur l'Herbe to the scandal caused by the Royal Academy's 'Sensation' exhibition a century and a half later.
		Transgressions is not a comfortable - still less a comforting read, but it has a powerful urgency that makes it essential for anyone remotely concerned by thte state of our culture in the 21st century.

		And that is all that the majority of the record industry cares about, not art, not culture, not revolution, not free speech, nothing but M-O-N-E-Y. Negativland was never even given a chance to explain themselves and their actions.
		Censorship is censorship and if we allow one group to be silenced, every artist and every person effected by art (every conscious person alive) will loose a part of their culture and their lives that could have been enhanced by the missing material.
		It is now the time for other musicians to take a stand and speak up for their right to create art by their own methods, not by what is most profitable and marketable for the recording industry.

	Guggenheim Collection - Concept - Materials
		The use of artistic materials in the 20th century can be divided into two periods: the first, through the 1940s, was one of insemination and gestation, while the second, spanning the 1950s through the present, has been one of birth and growth.
		Such were the ecstasies of logic and planning that art was designated a pure condition of consciousness, in which neither subject nor object exists, and the process itself comes to light.
		From Louise Bourgeois to Robert Mapplethorpe, this process carries the energy charge of an enigma, that of the “inner view,” which can be evoked by the formulations of a morbid and ironic art or a profound and transgressive art.

	Art and mental illness \| MetaFilter
		April 14, 2004 1:51 PM Art & Psychosis Some have suggested that there is a link between creativity and mental illness (MI), and others equivocate a little.
		True art can be either of two accomplishments: the truly novel, the easier of the two, is "today" filtered through a unique lens by the artist.
		On top of that is the principal that art passes through cycles, beginning with popular simplistic minimalism which grows ever more complex until only other artists can appreciate it--only to be replaced by a new, again simplistic minimalism that is very accessible to the public.

	The Limits of Expression in American Intellectual Life (ACLS Occasional Paper No. 22)
		This official license, as now given by the First Amendment, effectively announces that the transgressive and the shocking aren’t really so transgressive or shocking at all, that they are just legitimate expressions of one’s freedom to say what one wants, even if in Holzer’s view constrained by the boundaries of museums and “genuine” art.
		Art everywhere in the West, both where there is and where there is not formal protection of speech, has found itself increasingly hard pressed to make the sort of dramatic — or melodramatic — impact that has become a normal desideratum.
		Intersecting with art’s need indiscreetly to transgress is the more prudish criterion, not always explicit, of redeeming social merit as a condition of intellectual and certainly of public acceptance.

	M. Tucker, Bad Girls
		Catalogues are part of the ancillary materials offering a context in which art can be recognized;[1] they construct and sustain master narratives, rhethorical frames that delimit how we think and speak about art.
		The avant-gardist transgressions Tucker talks about are just what avant-gardes have always been: intellectual transgressions, acted out with ironic wit - that is the postmodern twist - but which remain silent to the political transgressions required by persons in their everyday life.
		Ingeniously laid-out pages, provocative photographs, and witty condemnations of traditional art and its patrons do not erase the fact that all differences, multivocalities, and temporal and geographical spatialities are neatly framed within the politically neutralizing synchronicity of the museum spectacle, even if the museum is none other than the New Museum of Contemporary Art.

		In Rabid, art is giving porno goddess Marilyn Chambers a "creative cancer" bodily weapon that once more transforms the landscape into a spectacle of frenzied, violent abjection.
		Conceiving, gestating, and giving birth to them is a creative labor like the artist's, in a literalization of metaphors often used to describe artistic creation.
		The brood-children are thus works of art; but their function is not to soothe the savage beast or hold the mirror up to nature but rather to beat people to death with blunt objects.

		Considered by the comixcenti to be a master of the form, he may finally get his due with the commercial, retail bookstore release of his masterpiece, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," (Pantheon Books; 192pp.; $21).
		Paralleling this are the lives of Al, the pragmatic, artless businessman, Lillian, Ted's love interest and Al's mistress, Windsor Newton the pioneering animator, and Nathan, Al's miserable, estranged son and the only other person who sees Waldo.
		Superficially, Deitch's art looks very much like the cartoons of the 1930s — simple and happy with lots of movement and activity in every corner of the frame.

		In our day Chris Burden had himself shot in the arm and videotaped it as part of his transgressive art, and Matthew Barney created the Cremaster saga focusing on the muscle that controls the descent of the testicles in baby boys.

		Art focused on the body also engages the brain in poetic ways.
