At Theory: BVA 313 - 11/06/2019 (Self-Identity)
My statement: The relationship of self-identity in the three cinderellas.
Art Theory (Self Identity)
Living as the fourth generation of Malaysian Chinese in Malaysia.
Whats the relationship between the “self” and “identity”.
Our different experiences of self are a result of different unconscious generalizations about self becoming dominant at different times, in different social or cultural settings.
Their overall organization (i.e., self-organization) can vary from being rather fragmented to effectively harmonious. A harmonious level of self-organization manifests in an intuitive sense of self as intending, attending, and expecting according to unified attitudes.
the level of self-organization determines the identity of a person, that is, the person’s conscious or intuitive sense of sameness over time.
[Physical appearance makes people confuse, especially when you’re a Malaysian Chinese. I am not Malay-Malaysian nor Chinese-China. I wanted to understand more about how I view myself as a Chinese Malaysian that’s now studying in New Zealand]
Analyzing self-identity.
“push-pull-revise” helps us pay attention to the internal complexity of self-identity structure and experience
Through Psychotherapy.
we look for improvements in identity, self-esteem, and relationship ability that can be called self-transformative. The transformations we study in examining individualized change processes in psychotherapy—the revise part of push-pull-revise— are both realistic and imaginary.
Relationship between Art and self-Identity. How is art able to shape a person.
The arts(by this I am referring to all types of art—visual, film, music, design, fashion) are just as much about personal identity as they are about the expression of sights and sounds.The counterculture movement of the early 1990s held ideas fixed with a musical identity, just as the folk movement of the 1960s was just as much about ideas as it was about music. We don't just listen or watch because of appealing sights and sounds. We identify with the ideas.
We negotiate our own identity with the art we consume. The music we listen to, the art we admire, the way we decorate, the films we view—these all reflect who we are. They are what express our identity.
Challenging Issues of Identity in the art world
As an artist and a student of art history, senior Temitayo (Tayo) Ogunbiyi is drawn to works that challenge conventional notions of categorizing people by appearance, gender, nationality or other easily accessible characteristics.
Ogunbiyi is producing a written thesis examining the influence of the 1993 Whitney Biennial, a controversial exhibition of contemporary art. She also is mounting an exhibition of her original artwork — an eclectic collection of some 40 paintings, sculptures and textile designs — that will run from May 2-9 in the Lucas Gallery at 185 Nassau St.
her written project on how those issues were confronted by the 1993 Biennial exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
“The exhibition aimed to give artists a place to talk about themselves and culture — topics that had almost become taboo with the Abstract Expressionists and Minimalists, whose work became very cold and very much about the artists taking themselves out of the work,” Ogunbiyi said.
“This exhibition was incredibly important conceptually because it pushed culture, it pushed homosexuality, it pushed femininity, it pushed people of color. It put all of them in the forefront and said, ‘Talk about your American experience,’” she noted. “It was controversial because it marginalized the white, heterosexual male; questioned the level of formal training necessary; and painting, considered to be the staple visual art form, was underrepresented and replaced by video and installation.”
She also delved into questions of how religion, spirituality and alternative art forms were represented in the exhibition by artists such as Kiki Smith and Byron Kim.
Another example of: Artist search for self-expression and identity in contemporary Tibet (Photos) (Frank, 2017)
Tibet the two concepts: Art abd Self-expression are worlds apart
An exhibition of Tibetan contemporary art, entitled “Anonymous,” explores the exchange between art and the self, a dialogue which is always in motion.
In contemporary culture, however, an understanding of the individual became important as the author and artist themselves blossomed, leading to a complex and ever-shifting conception of artistic identity.
Each “Anonymous” work creates its own world with its own understanding of how the self and art exist and interact
Ontwo example of the artwork:
Dedron’s “Mona Lisa,” features a pop-art riff on traditional Tibetan religious imagery, with a little classic art history lesson thrown in for good measure. Jhamsang looks toward the future with “Mr. XXX,” a fabricated ID card for a Robotic Buddha figure. In addition, a curatorial panel has selected video submissions from anonymous Tibetan citizens and artists, allowing outsiders to view faraway and often censored images for the first time.

Art as personal identity narratives
Shows how art helps others too
(From teaching students and looking for their identity through art)
Art integration is a rigorous teaching strategy that helps students understand complex, multifaceted subjects. It’s uniquely well-suited to strengthening students’ social-emotional learning and creating personal identity narratives that expand their understanding of self and others
Exemplary educators have shared examples of using art-integration projects to explore personal identity issues—through visuals and creative writing—that result in students creating multiple narratives about who they are, where they come from, what has influenced them, and how others perceive them. This reflective work changes how students see themselves today and who they become.
Who am I (Art Theory and Research)
Bart Vargas (Artist)
How society often question this answer.
-Genetic information on identity (Is able to help him figure out identity)
-He is an artist. Seeking identity for himself, many people struggle to find out who am I.
-How he incorporate this information into art. Colous, computer and DNA symbolized similarity. (he expresses who is he through art )
He stated in his presentation: How we are all human and how similar we are (we are all related to each other)
