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

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.

Few writers have attempted to trace the origins of architectural drawing before the appearance of Villard de Honnecourt’s Portfolio. This paper traces earlier forms of architectural drawing to the last quarter of the 12th century. Richard of St Victor’s exegetical text, with its highly detailed and well organised plans and elevations provides an opportunity to examine this proto-history of architectural drawing. The manuscript indirectly testifies to the existence of relatively sophisticated drawing sixty years before Villard’s work. Formalist analysis will be carried out to contextualise Richard’s work with earlier and subsequent representations of plans and elevations. The exegetical text will also be examined. This results in a prologue to many surveys of architectural drawings which begin in the early 13th century.

International Tendencies in the Work of Michael Scott, with Particular Reference to his Social Housing Schemes in Dublin City Centre

This dissertation examines the international tendencies in the designs of Michael Scott and his firm. The author argues that while Scott’s contribution to the dissemination of the International Style in Irish architecture is well documented, his use of the modern style in social housing schemes is largely unwritten. The primary research for this project includes the close examination of archival material, such as original drawings, contemporary journals and records, as well as a close examination of the buildings themselves. The two schemes studied are those on Charlemont St. and on Bridgefoot St., produced 1933 - 59. The author explores the sources for these designs, and the extent to which Scott adapted these sources to suit the context in which they were used. The final section is concerned with conservation of these buildings. Incl. interview with S. Rothery.
