1. What are the 4 Agencies of the Artworld according to Malyon (2004)?Explain each.
Artist: The artist is the creator of works of art and is guided by his philosophy in artistic
design. They develop a unique subjective perspective, convey personal experiences, and
continually reflect on and refine their artwork.
Artwork: An object that expresses the author's intentions and ideas. It is a bridge between
artist and audience, reflecting the ideas and beliefs of a time and place. Artworks challenge
or complement traditions of artmaking processes and can be read like books for meaning.
World: World refers to the time and place in which artists, audiences, and works of art exist.
This includes the accepted ideas and customs of the time, historical events, beliefs and
customs of the time, technological advances, and connections to what the world was
experiencing at the time.
Audience: The audience includes professional audiences such as historians, critics,
sponsors, and curators, as well as the general public who respond to a work of art. They
influence and determine the acceptance of a work of art, its intent, and its meaning.
2. What does FRAMES of the artworld mean?
FRAMES is an abbreviation that represents the numerous components of the art world: F for
financial, R for relational, A for aesthetic, M for moral, E for experiential, and S for social
dimensions. Each of these frames offers a perspective on the diverse nature of the art world,
which includes economic transactions, interpersonal interactions, artistic value and beauty,
ethical quandaries, immersive experiences, and the larger cultural context in which art
occurs. Scholars and practitioners can get a better grasp of the intricacies of creative
production, consumption, and reception by looking at artworks and the art world through
various lenses.
3. What are the 4 FRAMES used to make an art? Explain each.
The four frames used to examine art are subjective, structural, cultural, and postmodern.
The Subjective Frame stresses personal interpretation and emotional response to art, with a
focus on individual views and experiences. The Structural Frame investigates the formal
components and organization of the artwork, including composition, color, and technique, to
better understand how they express meaning and elicit aesthetic responses. The Cultural
Frame examines the socioeconomic and historical environment in which the artwork was
created and received, delving into issues of identity, power dynamics, and cultural
symbolism. Finally, the Postmodern Frame challenges traditional concepts of art,
emphasizing diversity, ambiguity, and reflexivity in artistic expression.
