Viewing Renaissance Art

By: The Open University,Open University Staff

This book focuses on the values, priorities, and motives of patrons and the purposes and functions of art works produced north and south of the Alps and in post-Byzantine Crete. It begins by considering the social range and character of Renaissance patronage and ends with a study of Hans Holbein the Younger and the reform of religious images in Basle and England. Viewing Renaissance Art considers a wide range of audiences and patrons from the rulers of France to the poorest confraternities in Florence. The overriding premise is that art was not a neutral matter of stylistic taste but an aspect of material production in which values were invested--whether religious, cultural, social, or political.

Sandra Meigs

The Basement Panoramas

By: Sandra Meigs,Toby Lawrence,Jen Hutton,Joan McNeely,Open Space Arts Society Staff

Victoria artist Sandra Meigs explores expressive terrain in her new project, The Basement Panoramas, connecting drawing, painting, sound, robotics, and perception into an experiential installation. Taking as a point of departure the invisible underthings of architecture -- basements and crawl spaces -- Meigs resuscitates forgotten, often neglected, storage spaces and charges them with potent psycho-social intensity." -- Open Space website.
