Carolyn Dean The Trouble with (the Term) Art 2006	outside objects grouped together and called "primitive art". art by appropriation/intention "art":special category of things and practices composed of subcategories (medium, function, geographic provenance, value, etc) NOT RECOGNIZED WORLDWIDE
Claire Farago The Sacred, The Secret, and the Ethics of Historical Interpretation 2010	**to devise less ethnocentric ways to think about cultural production--many agencies--people manipulate whatever material is available in their environment to negotiate their relationship with the world. "spanish colonial religious art always involves negotiations between natives and colonizers, b/c it was used as one of the main instruments of conversion, in a society where conversion was the Church's paramount task.
Charles Lachman The Image Made by Chance 1992	mimesis: images representing the real world. anti-mimesis: abstract iconography: can "read" the art (esoteric knowledge) signifier: utterance & word. signified: concept. Ink Wang-get drunk-can reach higher level & communicate with cosmos; tapping into unconscious; getting "into" the painting=harmony. Asian-intimate w/canvas-being one w/art. Haifeng (painted over rocks) challenges signifiers and that we're always trying to assign meaning to art. Xu Bing: same challenge; fictional Mandarin alphabet; signification: always looking for meaning. we don't have a pre-conceived notion so we don't know.
Nancy Parezo Against the backdrop of Tradition 1983	Navajo Sandpaintings serve as impermanent altars where ritual actions can take place; in their proper setting, if ritual rules are followed, they are the exact pictorial representation of supernaturals. Sacred symbols & through consecration are impregnated with supernatural power, becoming the temporary resting place of holiness. Considered dangerous & can be safely used only in the proper controlled context, at the right time, under the direction of highly trained specialists. NOT "art" in western sense; NOT spontaneous creations. ALWAYS destroyed at end of ritual.
Susan Vogel Always True to the Object, In Our Fashion 1991	"Almost nothing displayed in museums was made to be seen in them" 2 elements: curator & artist; RECONTEXTUALIZATION; 10 co-curators "the form IS the content" & "we can be insiders only in our own culture & our own time" & 'the fact that museums RECONTEXTUALIZE and interpret objects is a given, requiring no apologies"
