Little between Life and Work: Niki de Saint-Phalle and Tracey Emin A study of the relationship between art and the function of the literary diary

This dissertation examines the history of the diary as a literary genre and how it can be related to art, particularly in the work of Niki de Saint Phalle and Tracey Emin. The diary has served throughout the last four centuries as a both a public document (written by prominent men in high society). It documents a social era as much as the life of the author. It is also as a personal, intimate journal in which the author displaces secret emotions and thoughts to the page. This dissertation argues that the art of these women can be viewed as a form of diary, both in the public and private sense. It focuses on the manner in which the artists use their artwork to tease out difficult issues or emotions in their lives as the author uses the private diary, and on the use of diary-like passages of text in their work.

Work, Rest or Play? How function is manifested in Irish Botanic Gardens

Eileen Kelly

BA

Subject: Architecture
Country: Ireland
Period: 19th Century

10,000 words

This dissertation is a study of the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, the aims behind its foundation and how these aims were reflected in its layout and buildings. All of this is studied in the context of three other Irish Botanic Gardens, the Trinity College Botanic Gardens, Belfast Botanic Gardens and the Botanic Gardens of the Royal Cork Institution. The purpose behind the foundation of each of the four gardens is determined. Then the layout of each of the gardens is examined in relation to their determined function and trends in landscape design of their period. The author examines whether the trends of public improvement that lay behind the establishment of many art galleries in the nineteenth century were also a reason for setting up botanic gardens. The issues of public access and Sunday openings are examined and with each of the Botanic Gardens the design of their glasshouses is analysed.

This dissertation examines ‘the return of the real’, a multimedia installation by British artist, Phil Collins. This installation consists of a series of interviews between an interviewer and people who had had bad experiences through participation in reality television. The author examines this work within the context of contemporary art which has uses the language of documentary as a central reference. This study opens with an examination of Collins’ deconstruction of the language of conventional media, his acknowledgment of the influence of predecessors and the extent to which he distinguishes his work from other documentary contemporary art practices. The second section looks at Collins’ exploration of the central role of the camera in 21st century society, while the final chapter sets a criteria for Collins’ success with this work. Incl. DVD of clips from work.

Sculpture in the Piazza della Signoria: Politics and Power in Renaissance Florence

Sorcha Keogh

Subject: Sculpture
Country: Italy
Period: 15th and 16th Century

This thesis examines sculpture in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence. In particular, works such as Donatello’s ‘Judith and Holofernes’, Michelangelo’s ‘David’, Bandinelli’s ‘Hercules and Cacus’ and Celllini’s ‘Perseus with the Head of Medusa’ will be discussed. A study of these sculptures is a description of the history of fluctuations in power and patronage in a specific period in the history of Florence. In particular, this dissertation will examine who was in power, what artists were in favour and how each ruler expressed their status. The subject matter of each statue also conveys a particular political message and in a broader sense the prevailing political mood of the day. The four sculptures were the result of the desire to express power and wealth in a time of great political turmoil.
