Review of Uncomfortable or Disturbing Art
Question
“Uncomfortable Art”
Art – visual art, photography, sculpture, literature, drama, film, architecture, fashion – has the capacity to generate strong emotions from its audience. Such emotions can be varied and concurrent: attraction, disgust, fear, intrigue, and boredom. Indeed, some of the most important works of art through history have been both beautiful and ugly, sublime and ridiculous, magnificent and uncomfortable – such as “beautiful” paintings of death and war, captivating photographs of poverty, and rousing, but also heartbreaking music and drama. This is not specific to Western or modern art. In a globalized, fast changing, and image-centered world, in fact, the ‘uncomfortable’ power of art may be expanding.
This assignment asks you to write a thoughtful, reflective essay about a single artwork that both attracts and repels you, in which you attempt to locate and “work through” your different personal responses to it. You should use two or more readings from the course to support and develop your paper.
Instructions
1. Select an artwork from the DIFC that intrigues and fascinates you, but which also disturbs you or makes you feel uncomfortable. Include a photograph or copy of the artwork at the start of your assignment, together with information about the artwork and the artist.
2. Begin the assignment by describing the artwork in detail. What is the artwork of? How has it been created? What do you think the artist’s intentions or messages are in this work? What do you see in it?
3. Try next to identify and describe the different emotions within you that are stirred or moved by the artwork. It may be something within the art itself. It may be something about the way the art is displayed in the gallery. There may be something ‘uncanny’ about the art (as Freud mentions) – something familiar to you, but which is also out of place and now unsettling. What do you think makes this artwork familiar and unfamiliar, ugly and beautiful, frightening and comforting? You may see something in the artwork that others don’t see. Your reaction to an artwork may be very different to someone else’s – if so, how and why?
4. Finally, using two or more class readings, discuss two or three specific aspects of the artwork that you find particularly impressive or uncomfortable, and which you think other people might find intriguing or upsetting. These aspects may be big features or very small details. Why do you think these aspects have generated these emotions in you? Why might some people find them pleasurable and others disagreeable or banal?
Summary
The question belongs to Arts and it is about a disturbing or uncomfortable art. Art is believed to be beautiful to the core, even historically there are many instances of uncomfortable and disturbing art throughout. One such piece of art has been shown and the artist’s intention behind such an art has been given. The art used here is “Memories of Destruction” by Aydin Aghdashloo

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Most other online HRM tutoring services I have used were basically one way communication with the tutor simply providing with the cut and dried answers to the questions without really going to the heart of the questions. The online HRM tutor at HwA were different in the sense that they were more focused on helping me actually understand the subject and guiding me to write the HRM assignment and HRM homework rather than providing readymade solutions. Each HRM Online Tutoring session was a two way communication that helped me get even the minutest doubts cleared and understand the underlying concepts of the theories better.

I was apprehensive at first about using an online tutoring service that too for a subject as critical as mechanical engineering. But once I gave it a try I know that I need not have worried. The tutors at TheReliableTutor.com are totally in sync with what is required by me. So we are in a good place

I had an optical networking assignment due along with two other assignments due around the same time. I was just not getting enough time to give for dedicated research on the optical networking assignment. I just wished that someone could take the responsibility of conducting the research on my behalf and structure the assignment also. One of my friends was using TheReliableTutor.com and told me to give it a go. I was so impressed by their quality and service standard that I have become a repeat customer.
Andrew Lang Student
I had no idea about optimal design for separating units till I came across the team of HwA. Their team of distillation assignment experts helped me through the course by letting me get excellent grades in all of my assignments.
Alan Watts Student
Religion as a subject is quite sensitive and I needed my world religion assignments to be worded and structured in such a manner so that the analysis was objective and did not appear to be biased or insensitive. The assignment writers at TheReliableTutor.com understood my requirement and with their expertise in writing managed to provide the assignments exactly the way I wanted

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
