Torpong Limlunjakorn — 2023-12-19

Over the past decade, Italy has become one of the most prominent worldwide cultural, scientific, artistic, and design hubs. It also has a fascinating history that is worth studying and learning about. One of the important historical periods is the era of the ‘Radical Design Movement’, which was established due to political and social developments at the end of World War II. The movement led to the formation of postmodern ideology and the integration of traditional Italian culture and foreign civilizations. The advancement of manufacturing technology and material science also allows the creation of a wide range of workpieces. As a result, there is a trend in which The Avant-Garde and designers have collaborated to create unique and outstanding works complete with an imagination like never before, transforming the concept of a ‘Design object’ into an ‘Art Piece.’ Across European society, there was an awakening for these movements, and it became one of the most glorious flourishing periods in the history of modern design. It has also been used as a case study in many leading art and design schools worldwide.

The article aims to describe the history and context of the Italian Radical Design Movement (1965–1985) that occurred in Italy from the beginning to the end of this era regarding industrial design and furniture design. With a descriptive method, this article presents significant designs that cover interesting concepts and criticism of outstanding characteristics to understand the design thinking processes of The Avant-Garde and designers. This will be useful for students or anyone interested in art and design. It can be utilized as a resource for future studies.

CLOTHING AS THE REFLECTION OF HUMAN RELATION IN THE EPIDEMIC HISTORY

Panchana Soonthornpipit — 2023-12-19

Humans, as social animals, always rely on their passion and desire to reproduce and live their lives. However, their physical interactions could be the cause of an epidemic, and the rapid spread of such epidemic can prevent us from having physical contact with each other. Under conditions that forced us to be separated from each other, humans have learned to design and produce different types of clothing to help bring them closer together. Surprisingly, when the time passes, certain clothing styles become popular fashion trends. This article investigates the styles and origins of clothing during Epidemic times in the past, such as the Black Death in the Middle Ages, the Spanish flu, the Aids crisis, and the COVID-19 Pandemic, to demonstrate how we, as humans, strive for contact with one another and ultimately achieve it through the use of fashion and clothing.

THE CREATION OF TOURMALINE SCRAPS FOR MAKING JEWELRY

Pattarabordee Pimki — 2023-12-19

The purposes of this research are 1) to create guidelines for the creation of tourmaline scraps from shape cutting process to develop jewelry styles, 2) to transfer the knowledge on the creation of tourmaline scraps from the cutting process to gems and jewelry entrepreneurs from the group of the community enterprise gems and jewelry Chanthaburi province. In this research, the scamper technique was applied using the creative process. The scamper technique is the technique that combines modern materials with local materials (gems scraps) in the design process. The gem scraps in this research were pink and green color tourmaline scraps from the shape-cutting process of making shapes and removing cracks. The gem from that process would become smooth and flat with different thicknesses, transparent, and translucent. The creation was divided into two groups: the first group was thin tourmaline scraps. In this group, the scraps would be designed for mosaic work by applying polymer clay as a soldering material and coating gems with UV resin to make a glossy appearance and protect gemstones from falling off. The second group was thick tourmaline scraps. In this group, the scraps would be processed in shapes with epoxy resin in the casting process. The epoxy resin was chosen because of its dry quality which made scraps more beautiful and brighter. Afterward, the knowledge was transferred to gem and jewelry entrepreneurs to produce the jewelry prototype to increase its value. The processed scraps with resin were an option, and it could create the business opportunities to maximize the values of tourmaline scraps.

Duriwat Tathaisong — 2023-12-19

The objective of the study entitled Ceramic Art Reflecting Human’s Social Media Behavior was to study the data of Gen Y’s behaviors about social media use that negatively effects the body, eyes, degenerative cervical bone, and headache through ceramic art. The Dan-Kwian indigenous soil was used with ceramic art's theory and process techniques. There was a decoration using fashion colors that were popular among the Gen Y group, namely UFO green, plastic pink, and purple protons. Furthermore, the artists’ concepts, namely Asaf Hanuka and Amarin Bupasiri, were applied to design and imagine according to the story of the impacts of the use of social media on the human body. These impacts were conveyed as a work of ceramic sculpture through shapes, textures, and colors. The electronic parts were also applied to the design. The analysis of the changes in shape from the negative effects of using social media was divided according to the posture of using social media that negatively affects the body into 3 categories (i.e., social media reflections, prying eyes, and applications with humans). The results showed that each category had a different number or size, and people were involved in every task. Emotions, aesthetics, and tactics were applied to the process of creating artworks of applied ceramic art mixed with electronics in order to remind people of the negative effects of social media use.

THE ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPATORY ART PRACTICE: ART OUTSIDE THE TERRITORY AND PARTICIPATION IN AUTHORSHIP

Varaporn Chalosantisakul — 2023-12-19

The article entitled The Analysis of Participatory Art Practice: Art Outside the Territory and Participation in Authorship is a part of a dissertation in Visual Arts and Design. The objective was to study and analyze the pattern of the participatory art practice and background concepts from related artworks. This study also aimed to examine the expression and evaluate the value of activity-based artworks, which are difficult to identify by the beauty standard of the traditional arts.

According to the analysis, participatory art did not have a specific pattern. It consisted of various types of art depending on the purpose of the artists, participants, and social context. It can be classified into three characteristics (i.e., Relation, Activist, and Antagonistic). These interdisciplinary relations were activist, audience, and organization that transcended participatory art into an art that can engage with other non-art organizations. Therefore, participatory artworks appeared in various forms and focused on situations and expressions rather than creating artifacts. It also created interaction, relation, and participation within the area.
