Podcast appearances and mentions of james elkins

Occasionally, JF and Phil do a song swap. Each host chooses a song he loves and shares it with the other, and then they record an episode on it. This time, JF chose to discuss "Jesus, Etc." from Wilco's 2001 album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and Phil picked Judee Sill's ethereal "The Kiss," from Heart Food (1973). It was in the zone of Time, in all its strangeness, that the two songs began to resonate with one another. Sill's song is a fated grasping at the eternal that is present even when it eludes us, and "Jesus, Etc." is a leap across time that captures, in jagged shards and signal bursts, the events of the day on which Wilco's album was scheduled to drop: September 11, 2001.

Luca Bertolo"Lo strano posto della religione nell'arte contemporanea" di James ElkinsJohan & LeviA chi ama l'arte non sarà sfuggito un fatto tanto eclatante quanto poco dibattuto: l'assenza nelle gallerie e nei musei di arte contemporanea di opere genuinamente religiose, in cui il sentimento religioso non sia inquinato, cioè, da ironia o irriverenza. La frattura fra arte e religione non è effetto di una congiura del mondo dell'arte, ha radici profonde. Avviata per gradi durante il Rinascimento, si è accentuata nel XIX secolo fino ad arrivare a quel divario che oggi ci appare insanabile. Per ricucire lo strappo bisognerebbe smantellare il discorso su cui si è edificato l'intero progetto modernista.Questo libro, in cui rigore e sperimentazione vanno a braccetto, rompe l'assordante silenzio che avvolge una questione particolarmente difficile da affrontare, tanto nei circuiti ufficiali dell'arte quanto nel campo dell'educazione artistica. Un silenzio che lascia gli studenti a coltivare la loro religiosità di nascosto, pena l'esclusione dal sistema. Forte della sua esperienza alla School of the Art Institute of Chicago, James Elkins affronta con innovativo pragmatismo un ginepraio di pratiche, opinioni e fraintendimenti, e sceglie cinque tra i suoi studenti a rappresentare altrettante posizioni di artisti: cinque racconti esemplari che tracciano una cartografia del travagliato rapporto tra religione e arte contemporanea.Affinché l'abisso di incomprensione fra i due schieramenti possa colmarsi, come si augura l'autore, non basta la buona volontà di figure isolate, servono nuove forme di dialogo, conversazioni inclusive che lascino spazio al portato emozionale ed esperienziale dei partecipanti. Elkins va già in questa direzione, fornendo ad artisti, studenti, docenti e studiosi la strumentazione necessaria per iniziare un dibattito costruttivo e appassionante.James ElkinsStorico e critico d'arte americano, docente alla School of the Art Institute of Chicago, è da sempre impegnato nella decostruzione dei canoni della storia dell'arte accademica attraverso una prospettiva critica originale e interdisciplinare. Si occupa in particolare di scrittura e di teoria dell'immagine. Tra le sue numerose pubblicazioni, La pittura cos'è.

In Visual Worlds: Looking, Images, Visual Disciplines (Oxford University Press, 2020), James Elkins and Erna Fiorentini provide a full introduction to the visual world across all the fields that theorize it. In contrast with typical visual culture texts, their book looks beyond the arts, taking a comparative approach that considers a number of fields, including art history and theory but also epistemology, ontology, vision science, neurology, cognitive psychology, law, advertising, medicine, warfare, and more. Intended for first-year university students from diverse backgrounds, Visual Worlds presents a broad array of examples and covers a wide range of topics in short, thematic chapters which offer instructors great flexibility. By focusing on different modes of looking, the book shows students how seeing can change depending on the object that is seen and on its interpretation by an individual. Allison Leigh is Assistant Professor of Art History and the SLEMCO/LEQSF Regents Endowed Professor in Art & Architecture at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Her research explores masculinity in European and Russian art of the eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week: TEN YEARS MAN...TEN YEARS!! This week we bid a sad farewell to our good friend James Elkins who has told art history "It isn't you, it's me, but at this point in my life I feel like I can't be tied down to a genre, I need to be free to see other modes of writing." Yes, it is true Art, he sat down for our interview and said ""you don't have Elkins to kick around any more, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference." Now wait. That was Nixon. Whatever. Anyways, James Elkins, super brilliant guy, most frequent guest in the history of Bad at Sports, returns again to tell us what comes next for him in his merry adventures.

This week: Duncan talks to Professor James Elkins about the Stone Summer Theory Institute and this years theme Beyond the Aesthetic and the Anti-Aesthetic. The Stone Summer Theory Institute is week-long school in contemporary art theory. It is held in Chicago, in July, at the School of the Art Institute. Each year brings together an unprecedented gathering of international scholars to discuss an unresolved question in contemporary art theory. This year's subject is the aesthetic and one of its opposites, the anti-aesthetic. Some art practices aim at aesthetic value, while other art practices aim to do something in society, in politics, or to identity. The difference between those two conceptions of art is one of the deepest unresolved questions of current art practice.

This week: Duncan talks with James Elkins about his forthcoming round table at Art Chicago, and the art Phd. Like you didn't have enough student loan debt.BAS Boston's Matthew Nash talks to comic artist Liz Prince about her work, and her excellent book "Will you still love me if I wet the bed?" Go, right now, buy it.

Stone Summer Theory Institute at SAIC: What Is an Image? From July 13-19, the second annual Stone Summer Theory Institute at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago will present a forum for some of the world's foremost art theoreticians to address unsolved issues in the field. This year's Institute is focused on three fundamental questions: What is the nature of the visual? What are images? What are pictures? A combination of public events and private discussions, the Summer Theory Institute invites fifteen young scholars to explore issues in art conceptualization with renowned international scholars, artists, and authors, this year including Gottfried Boehm, W.J.T. Mitchell, Jacqueline Lichtenstein, and Marie-Jose Mondzain. ALSO: WEST COAST PEOPLE READ AND OBEY! In conjunction with “Open for Business”, Brian and Patrica will interview René de Guzman live in public at Triple Base Gallery on Thursday, July 10th at 5:00 PM.

This week’s show is top notch, grade A stuff, Jack, and you sure don’t want to miss it.  Art, religion, smurfs, Dungeons and Dragons, Duncan rattling on like an old man about how kids today just don’t understand punk rock, AND the show closes with Richard’s favorite music cue in the entire run of the program, a little pop diddy on Marx and Mao. A show with something for everyone. Duncan and Terri talk to James Elkins and David Morgan about the forthcoming roundtable… On April 17, SAIC professor and critic James Elkins reignites the discussion with the provocative Re-Enchantment Roundtable. The roundtable and associated events gather together secular and religious thinkers who rarely share discourse: artists, scholars and art critics—and religionists interested in art. Panelists will include Thierry de Duve, Gregg Bordowitz, David Morgan, Kajri Jain, Tomoko Masuzawa, and Wendy Doniger. The day long discussion is intended to span the full diversity of opinions, from those who think contemporary art is already “religious,? to those who believe art should have nothing to do with religious faith. Duncan and Edmar discuss the Lumpen Juggernaut’s new building project and HQ, the Version festival, art madness on the river and Half-Elves that are chaotic good. Hot damn.

Duncan and Terri talk to James Elkins about his books, criticism and more! Mike Benedetto provides an utterly hilarious movie review and public service announcement. From Mr. Elkins' web site:James Elkins grew up in Ithaca, New York, separated from Cornell University by a quarter-mile of woods once owned by the naturalist Laurence Palmer. He stayed on in Ithaca long enough to get the BA degree (in English and Art History), with summer hitchhiking trips to Alaska, Mexico, Guatemala, the Caribbean, and Columbia. For the last twenty years he has lived in Chicago; he got a graduate degree in painting, and then switched to Art History, got another graduate degree, and went on to the PhD in Art History, which he finished in 1989. (All from the University of Chicago.) Since then he has been teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is currently E.C. Chadbourne Chair in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism. He also teaches in the Department of Visual and Critical Studies, and is Head of History of Art at the University College Cork, Ireland. His writing focuses on the history and theory of images in art, science, and nature. Some of his books are exclusively on fine art (What Painting Is, Why Are Our Pictures Puzzles?). Others include scientific and non-art images, writing systems, and archaeology (The Domain of Images, On Pictures and the Words That Fail Them), and some are about natural history (How to Use Your Eyes). Current projects include a book called Success and Failure in Twentieth-Century Painting, another called Writing about the World's Art, and several edited books: a series called "The Art Seminar," one called "Theories of Modernism and Postmodernism in the Visual Art.," and edited books on W.G. Sebald, representations of pain in art, and the university-wide study of images. He married Margaret MacNamidhe in 1994 on Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands, off the West coast of Ireland. Margaret is also an art historian, with a specialty in Delacroix. His interests include freshwater microscopy (with a Zeiss Nomarski differential interference microscope), optics (he owns an ophthalmologist’s slit-lamp microscope), stereo photography (with a Realist camera), playing piano, and winter ocean diving
