    Elli Hembergs gränsöverskridande skapande. En undersökning av hennes två- och tredimensionella verk.
    (2018-06-20) Thornberg, Per; University of Gothenburg/Department of Cultural Sciences; Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper
    In this thesis, I examine Elli Hemberg's experimental loyalty, focusing on the transition from two-dimensionality to three-dimensionality. A central concept is cross-boundary, that is, when the artist crosses dividing lines, opens up new passages and transitions, and follows the movement and the rhythm. There are many dimensions in Elli Hemberg's art both regarding the actual performance and the material. I will thus focus on the transformation process in Hemberg’s creation, and the metamorphoses that arise. I will also examine Elli Hemberg's gender position in art in order to determine if she really was marginalized, or what other circumstances and factors that may have contributed to the anonymity surrounding the artist in question.In this thesis, I examine Elli Hemberg's experimental loyalty, focusing on the transition from two-dimensionality to three-dimensionality.

    Rörelse och rytm i Lage Lindells bildskapande - fallstudie av Umeåväggen
    (2017-06-02) Thornberg, Per; University of Gothenburg/Department of Cultural Sciences; Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper
    This thesis examines rhythm and movement in the visual art by Swedish artist Lage Lindell (1920-1980), in the form of a case study of his mural painting ”Umeåväggen” at the University of Umeå, 1972. The analysis are grounded in theories of performativity and reception aesthetics. The focus lies on the meeting between the artwork itself and its beholder. In what way has Lindell’s own experiences of drawing and graphics affected his paintings? Connections and degrees of convergence between Lindell’s art and jazz music and improvisation complement the examination.
