Title: SHIRAZEH HOUSHIARY Author(s): Donald Kuspit Source: Artforum International. 38.3 (Nov. 1999): p142. Document Type: Article Full Text:

On entering Shirazeh Houshiary’s show, one saw what appeared to be a group of monochromes–some black, some white, and all square–installed in contrasting groups of large and small works. As one drew nearer to several of the paintings, however, one began to discern the presence of Arabic texts (actually Sufist chants), meticulously transcribed onto the canvas in graphite or pigment, where they proliferate like coral. These inscriptions are clearly legible when examined up close (the fact that they are incomprehensible to most Western readers only adds to their exoticism), and evoke Muslim iconography. From any distance, the work seems to illustrate perfectly Robert Motherwell’s observation that abstract painting is a form of mysticism. But just as important, Houshiary has produced convincing monochrome field paintings that refine and intensify “post-painterly abstraction” to uncanny new perceptual effect.

Kenneth Noland seems a particular, if oblique, influence on Houshiary, as suggested by the circular imagery in a number of works–in Luminous darkness, 1998, the center is marked by a yellowish bull’s-eye–and by the highly nuanced surface. Even more crucially, at least from my point of view, Houshiary’s paintings are unabashedly aesthetic, indeed beautiful. Under the auspices of religious idealism, these works become formally ideal. Like abstraction, beauty has also been thought to have mystical import, that is, regarded as a mode of transcendence and self-recovery. Houshiary’s works restore spiritual feeling to abstract painting, which, under Greenberg’s ministrations, had become mindlessly materialistic. As titles such as Brittle Moment, Presence, and Veil indicate, Houshiary’s canvases seem to “picture” a perceptual epiphany–the moment that spirit becomes manifest and one realizes that there is a center to existence and to one’s being.

Houshiary’s titles make clear as well that she is in pursuit of what has traditionally been called the sublime; for her, beauty is its surface. The physical experience of approaching her paintings, then, is in effect a spiritual experience, that is, a process of initiation and revelation. From a distance they look like blank slates; as one gets closer one sees the more or less clear mandala-like, peculiarly dense form embedded in their seemingly amorphous surface; and up close one discovers the intricate, excited, minute detail. The emerging center comes to represent the ritualized concentration necessary for inner illumination. Equally important, from a purely painting point of view, Houshiary’s works show a patient perfectionism that seems increasingly rare today, and thus all the more admirable.

  • Assignment Content

    Resources: City of Kelsey Virtual Organization, City Council Advisement Parts I and III

    The City of Kelsey is experiencing a budget crisis. A federal grant for the police department was cut, and the city’s mayor must now decide the appropriateness of allocating funds to public safety or plans for the Stanley Park Project. The mayor and City Council drafted a list of critical questions to assist in decision-making.

    1. What conflicts might occur for the City of Kelsey between ethics and  analytical results in evaluating the value of the Stanley Park?

    Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

    Need at least 2 paragraphs on this question with 1 reference.

A brief explanation of some beliefs and traditions of the culture.

/in /by

In this project, you will create an informative website featuring the traditional music of a specific non-Western culture. (Note that the term “world music” in the context of this assignment refers to music that is not based in the Western tradition of music. If you are not sure if your chosen topic is a style of non-Western music, contact your instructor, who will provide guidance on your topic selection.) Something to consider when choosing your topic is to make sure it is a style of music that is still in existence and performed, so you will be able to find musical examples and address all of the required elements of the assignment. A link to your completed website will be posted to the WK8 “Let’s Explore the World through Music” Discussion.

You will be building your website by using wix.com, which is free and easy to use. Wix features user-friendly drag and drop technology, so you can easily change or customize your website. All that is required is to set-up an account using your email address and password. Here is a beginner’s guide for creating Wix websites. There is also a good video explanation of building a website with Wix. Wix also has an excellent Help Center to address any questions you have while creating your website.

The website should include the following:

1. A summary of the chosen culture including a short history.

2. A brief explanation of some beliefs and traditions of the culture.

3. Description of the instruments used in that culture’s music.

4. Explanation of the key attributes of the culture’s music, including melody, harmony, timbre, texture, rhythm and form. (If the style of music you choose does not include one or more of these musical elements, then you need to explain why that musical element is not present in the music.)

5. Specific introduction to one piece of music from the culture. Include at least one example of the music, such as through linking to YouTube performances. Be sure to include a description of the musical example.

The above elements can either be included on one page of your website or separated into different pages.

Include your name on your website. Your website should include photos and video (either linked or embedded). Embedded photos and videos need to be cited.

Your choice of world music must be a style of traditional music that is non-Western or not from the Western tradition of music, therefore avoid choosing styles of music from the U.S., Canada, or Europe, including Jazz or any type of pop music (including hip hop). For example, a pop or rock band from Europe or Japan would not be appropriate for this assignment. Celtic or Irish music are also not appropriate styles of music because these are European styles of music. Also, because most students are already familiar with Reggae music, do not choose Reggae for your topic.

Sources must be valid, academic sources (i.e. Please do not use non-academic websites, such as Wikipedia or About.com). Your website should not contain more than 15% direct quotes and direct quotes must be in quotation marks. Direct quotes and paraphrased material must be cited in the body of the text and in a refer
