Real performance on the pseudo network: Franklin Furnace and the Internet as an open medium
Sant, Anthony, «Real performance on the pseudo network: Franklin Furnace and the Internet as an open medium». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2003 Abstract This dissertation sets out to document a significant moment in performance history: the early years of live art on the Internet as presented by Franklin Furnace, a New York-based nonprofit arts organization. In the process I also aim to create some awareness to the fact that access to the Web as a creative medium may soon be taken over by governmental and commercial interests to be regulated and controlled like radio and television broadcasting. Since 1998 I have closely observed the performances presented online by…

Photography and contemporary Spanish theater: Kaleidoscopic modes of dramatic representation
Hodge, Polly Jane, «Photography and contemporary Spanish theater: Kaleidoscopic modes of dramatic representation». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 1995 Abstract This project is an examination of the modes of representation in contemporary Spanish theatrical arts. I investigate the world view, technical and dramatic features and theoretical concerns regarding the different modes of representation in theater: theatrical, dramatic and photographic texts. My emphasis is on the mode of photography and the conceptualization of gender within the different modes of representation. I propose a photo-theatrical gaze as a way of looking at photographs of theatrical productions through a comparative lens, an optic that considers the many texts within which a theatrical…

Presenting choreographed works or concepts through still photography
Bates, Lisa M., «Presenting choreographed works or concepts through still photography». M.F.A., , Ann Arbor, United States 2010 Abstract With a focus to further explore the world of dance photography, the research focuses on representing choreographed works through still photography and how to effectively portray movement concepts and themes through still images. Most importantly the connection developed and necessary between the choreographer and photographer is of utmost importance. Beginning with an overview of related sources, information is presented based upon the elements, tools, and concepts related to photographing dance. An in depth look into various past photography figures and also choreographer/photographer relationships serves as the base for further developing the…

Never Mere Observation: Performance, Technology, and the Act of Looking
Krauter, Sarah G. Marsh, «Never Mere Observation: Performance, Technology, and the Act of Looking». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2017 Abstract Herbert Blau, in defining the act of looking as “never mere observation”, describes how the action of the visual faculty is not simply about seeing, but the engagement in an active, circulatory exchange between culture and viewer. Never Mere Observation posits a dialectical relationship between spectatorship, performance, and emerging technologies. In this study, my aim is to track a pattern of ideas and use to assert the possible connections between the evolution of technology and the evolution of narrative structure. The biomechanical function of the act of looking…

‘CINEMATOGRAPHIC’: AN EXPLORATION INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TABLEAUX OF JEFF WALL AND GREGORY CREWDSON
Gerrie, Vanessa, «’CINEMATOGRAPHIC’: AN EXPLORATION INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TABLEAUX OF JEFF WALL AND GREGORY CREWDSON». , , Abstract This dissertation will examine the ways in which two artists, Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson, use photography to create images that are cinematic not only aesthetically but technically. Their work allows us to identify a new kind of art photography. By placing their work within the context of the ÔPictures GenerationÕ of the 1970s we can see the evolution and the emergence of this photographic regime. The Pictures Generation of the 1970s and 1980s saw a shift in what was known as art photography. From the 1970s onwards artists such as Jeff…

Photo-performance: a study of the performativity of butoh dance photography
Bieszczad-Roley, Karolina, «Photo-performance: a study of the performativity of butoh dance photography». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2010 Abstract This thesis analyses the detailed performativity and the intuitive act of photographing the Japanese dance form Butoh. It argues that the photographer’s embodied experience constitutes an ‘inner’ performance and introduces new terms: the photo-performance and the photo-actor. The author argues that the photo-performance, similarly to Butoh dance, manifests itself not only in physically apparent (visually perceived) movements but also within the multi-modal pre-reflective consciousness of the reciprocal interaction between the photo-actor and a Butoh dancer.Butoh has been widely photographed since it began in 1959 in Japan. However studies formalising the…

Body, Camera, Action: Understanding the Metamorphosis of Performance Art in Japan
Melnikova, Daria, «Body, Camera, Action: Understanding the Metamorphosis of Performance Art in Japan». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2018 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the specific medium “performance art” (pafōmansu āto) in Japan, situated in the transnational and comparative context of the 1960s and the 2010s. Extensively drawing on the art criticism of Akiyama Kuniharu, Ishiko Junzō, Sawaragi Noi, Tōno Yoshiaki, Tone Yasunao, and Yoshida Yoshie, this research investigates the discursive space of performance that constructs a multiplicity of historical terms such as happenings, events, festivals, spectacle. In the 1960s, the fashion of happenings (initially coined by American artist Allan Kaprow) spread outside of artistic institutions such…

Circulating the event: the social life of performance documentation, 1965–1975
Santone, Jessica Lynne, «Circulating the event: the social life of performance documentation, 1965–1975». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2011 Abstract This dissertation reevaluates the relationship between performance acts and documents by considering the way documentation was understood within the time of an event. Expanding on Alain Badiou’s theory of evental ‘Twoness’ in Being and Event, I develop an approach to performance that always takes documents and performance acts together, as corresponding producers of an art event. Looking at acts and documents together, one notices how the type of repetition enacted between them allows for variation and novelty in an event. One important implication of this approach is a stronger…
