Varvara Stepanova: Incomplete Design History Podcast
No full textVarvara Stepanova was a leader of the constructivist movement and co-author of the constructivist manifesto. Described as “a frenzied artist,” she designed books, magazines, posters, advertisements, as well as textiles, clothing, and costumes. On top of that, she was an author and poet. Her design style and aesthetic was avant garde, modern, and often characterized by simplicity and geometric forms and patterns, but Varvara was never content with stasis. She constantly evolved her style and worked to develop new concepts and ideas. As a co-founder of the Constructivist movement, her work typifies the aesthetic and philosophies of Constructivism. While Varavara worked on many of her own projects, she also did many together with her husband, Alexander Rodchenko, another well-known Constructivist designer. Her work often gets linked to Rodchenko’s, and it’s Rodchenko who gets mentioned in histories of graphic design and credit for designs that should be attributed to Stepanova as well. At a time when women were largely still expected to be no more than wives and mothers, Stepanova was a woman who made an unmistakable mark on art and design.NoUniversity of Central Oklahoma.

Art return rates from old master paintings to contemporary art
No full textWe study return rates on art investment using a complete dataset on repeated sales for Old Master
Paintings, Modern art and Contemporary art auctioned worldwide at Christie's and Sotheby's from
2000 to 2018. We show that return rates do not depend systematically on past prices or the place of
sale, but we emphasize substantial differences in returns across sectors. We also control for changes in
transaction costs (buyers' premiums and artists' resale rights), characteristics of the sale (evening sales,
price guarantees and past bought-ins) and news on the lots (changed attributions, public exhibitions or
death of the author) that appear reflected in art returns. We confirm the absence of masterpiece effects
in American, Chinese and Ethnic art. Finally, using historical data on prices during Renaissance,
Baroque and Neoclassical periods, we find evidence that price changes are independent from initial
prices also in the long run

L'espressività religiosa nella produzione poetica e nella prosa russa contemporanea: Ol'ga Sedakova e Marija Stepanova
No full textLa ricerca si pone l’obiettivo di studiare la portata della “espressività religiosa” nelle opere letterarie in prosa e in versi di Ol’ga Sedakova (n. 1949) e da Marija Stepanova (n. 1972), due figure centrali del panorama letterario russo contemporaneo. La nozione di “espressività religiosa”, che richiede una precisa prassi definitoria volta a circoscrivere l’aspetto lessicale, sintagmatico e fraseologico della religiosità, nella lingua letteraria russa contemporanea rappresenta una chiave di lettura che permette di individuare le coordinate attraverso cui il portato religioso trova una sua attuazione testuale. A questo scopo, sia l’individuazione della matrice slavo-ecclesiastica, sia il riconoscimento della funzione del referente biblico (neo e veterotestamentario) assumono un ruolo di fondamentale importante per comprendere come i le forme espressive della memoria religiose siano state modellati nelle opere delle due autrici.
La ricerca, dopo una presentazione che definisce i termini metodologici e tipologici adottati, si suddivide in due parti, dedicate alle opere delle due autrici. Ciascuna parte affronta, nel primo capitolo, le opere in versi, dalle prime pubblicazioni a quelle della maturità: per quanto riguarda Sedakova, l’arco temporale abbraccia un periodo pluridecennale, dalle prime pubblicazioni, comparse in samizdat e risalenti agli inizi degli anni Settanta, agli ultimi versi dei primi anni Duemila; i versi di Stepanova presi in esame, invece, appaiono a partire dal 2001 fino alle più recenti pubblicazioni del 2020. Se nel primo caso è possibile rilevare la permeanza della componente biblica e della tradizione scrittoria sacra nel corpus fin dalle suo origini, nel caso di Stepanova l’espressività religiosa diventa parte di un’esplorazione delle molteplici alterità dell’io. Il secondo capitolo di ciascuna parte si sofferma sui racconti di Sedakova (risalenti agli anni Ottanta e al 2005) e sul celebre romanzo di Stepanova, Pamjati pamjati: se nel primo caso le forme espressive del religioso diventano parte integrante della narrazione del quotidiano, nella sua accezione terrena e storica, narrato in racconti tutto sommato brevi e di carattere autobiografico; in Pamjati pamjati l’intertestualità biblica e il lessico dell’ebraismo dell’Oriente europeo all’interno di una ricostruzione mnestica del passato, inteso come personale, familiare e culturale. Un terzo e ultimo capitolo è riservato, in entrambe le parti, all’opera traduttoria: mentre Sedakova dedica alle traduzioni, che abbracciano tipologia testuali molto diverse, dalla tradizione scrittoria slava ecclesiastica, alla Commedia di Dante e alla poesia novecentesca, ma accumunate da un evidente referente religioso, Stepanova traduce dall’inglese, una poesia di E.E. Cummings e alcuni versi di S. Smith, reinterpretando, in entrambi i casi, i testi in una riscrittura evocativa, che pone l’accento sulla componente spirituale

Structural Analysis with Visualization Elements as a Factor in the Development of the Commercial Real Estate Market
No full textThis paper presents a universal method of structural analysis of the commercial real estate market with a detailed step-by-step analysis. For example, the analysis was carried out based on commercial real estate in the city of Ekaterinburg. The method is unique in creating visual content that is a map of typical territorial zones of the city of Ekaterinburg. The analysis method also includes the classical structuring of information in the form of tables and diagrams based on real offers for the sale and lease of real estate. The authors formulated forecasts for each segment of the commercial real estate market. Based on this work, anyone can conduct a similar analysis in their city or use it as a base for creating a visualization of the territory according to the zoning given in the work. Having information structured in this way will make it easier to evaluate real estate objects by their real environment
