'Choosing a particular period between 1800 to the present, in what ways has art or design responded to the changing social and cultural forces of that period? Focus on two specific examples.
I've chosen to look at the Punk era as it's not something I've really explored before but admire greatly. Would be nice to challenge myself instead of taking an easy option like the Russian Revolution like I have studied previously.
Provisional biography of 5 starting points (books).
- Sladen, M (2007) 'Panic Attack!: art in the punk years' London, Merrell Publishers Ltd. Reason: I think it would be good to look at an overview of art and design at the time of the punk era and how it changed.
- Kindersley, D (2006) 'Punk: the whole story' London, Dorling Kindersley. Reason: Has interviews, insider stories and photographs - could tell me about the social impact on people at the time.
- Turcotte, B and Wood, D (2007) 'Punk is dead, punk is everything' UK, Gingko Press. Reason: "Punk is Dead exposes the lasting impact of Punk on visual culture worldwide".
- Savage, J (2008) 'Punk - no one is innocent: art, style, revolt' Germany, Kunsthallewien. Reason: another source to look at punk art.
- O'Hara, C (1999)'The philosophy of punk: more than noise!!' Edinburgh, Ak Press.
Reason: first hand experience of punk - has photo montages, looking at other movements in the punk era - feminism, anarchists, homosexualisty etc - be good to look more at the social aspect.
