AbstractElin Heidenberg: Vem blir Artist? En studie av hur svenska skivbolag väljer ut blivande Artister inom populärmusikgenren. - Uppsala: Musikvetenskao 2000. 60 p.Uppsatsens syfte är att studera skivbolagens Artisturvalsprocess inom populärmusikgenren, att undersöka vilka kriterier/faktorer som påverkar deras val, vilka av dessa som är av störst betydelse samt om urvalsprocessen skiljer sig mellan skivbolag av olika storlek.Uppsatsen bygger främst på intervjuer med fyra A&R-anställda på fyra olika skivbolag. Branschlitteratur och tidningsartiklar med liknande intervjuer, samt artiklar ur tidskrifter har använts för att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar skivbolagens val.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse how work by Swedish Artist Ylva Ogland (born in 1974) function as an eye-opener for the social marginalisation of people identified with homosexuality, prostitution and drug addiction. Although highly present in reality, these phenomena were historically, and are still today, hidden from view in public discourse. I have focused on the installations Rapture and Silence and Things Seen, and the still-life painting called Xenia. I argue that these artworks carefully represent the above-mentioned marginalised groups, by way of references to comparable motives in the history of art, from neoclassicism in France, to realism and romanticism..

Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka musikens roll och betydelse inom event marketing. Idag är event marketing ett vedertaget och accepterat marknadsföringsverktyg och en effektiv väg att nå konsumenter. För att föstå hur hur företag inom denna sektor använder sig av musik för att påverka människor och hur strategiska val rörande musiken utförs gjordes en fallstudie på tre olika företag inom event marketing industrin. Studien visade att musik är en betydelsefull beståndsdel inom event marketing för sin förmåga att påverka och skapa stämmninglägen samt att valet av genre och Artist har en stor inverkan på evenemangets image och att eftertänksamhet måste ingå vid dessa val..

My aim in this case study has been to create a method for creature design to test this method in a production and evaluate the results. To achieve this I studied and analyzed the methods of three concept Artists and illustrators named James Gurney, Neville Page and Iain McCaig. From the analysis of these Artist´s methods, combined with my own personal experience, a new method was formed. To test this method a creature was designed based on directives given by a game design group in the process of creating a table top role playing game in a fictitious world. These directives where given for the creature´s role and its living conditions.

When I was fifteen I decided that I wanted to become a blacksmith. At the time of my decision I had been obsessed with fantasy for several years. I came to the conclusion that if I could not live in a fantasy world then at least I would make bits and pieces from it. That became the entry point of my fascination for material and techniques. I started with blacksmithing since it had an aura of magic or mystique in the material and in the making process.

Bakgrund: Platserna som ger Artister möjligheter att nå ut med sin musik har ökat massivt i och med Internet och alla de digitala plattformar som finns idag. Det är således lättare att möjliggöra lyssnande men det behöver inte betyda att någon lyssnar. Konkurrensen har ökat och skivbolag tar numera färre risker med nya Artister. Därmed behöver okända Artister på egen hand ta sig till en uppmärksammad nivå. Forskningsfråga:Vad krävs idag av en Artist för att uppmärksammas av publik, media och branschfolk i Sverige? Syfte:Syftet med denna uppsats är att få en ökad förståelse för hur projekt Talangcoaching på bästa sätt ska coacha sina Talanger så att de uppmärksammas av publik, bransch och media i Sverige.

The purpose of ?The Lake? was to create an experience with music and visuals working with no budget.A personal purpose was that I wanted to explore new areas in design, like scenography, and combine them with my previous knowledge and skills. My method was to keep my hands busy at all times and use new materials. I also wanted to work with other creators and learn from their methods. Together with a musician I created the music and the concept for the project.

Syfte och ForskningsfrågorSyftet med uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för hur relationen och rollfördelningen mellan managers och Artister kan se ut och vad som påverkar detta, samt hur manageryrket har påverkats av den förändring som skett i musikbranschen i och med den tekniska utvecklingen.För att nå upp till detta syfte har vi arbetat med tre forskningsfrågor:Vilka roller och vilken arbetsfördelning finns mellan managers och Artister?Hur ser managers relationer till deras Artister ut och vad påverkar detta?Hur påverkar nya förutsättningar managerns roll och relation till Artister?MetodVår forskning har haft en induktiv ansats då vi ville utgå ifrån empirin och låta de intervjuades berättelser styra uppsatsens riktning. Vi valde en kvalitativ metod då vi ville få en bild av hur våra intervjupersoner själva upplevde sina roller och relationer. Vår empiriska studie består av intervjuer med 6 managers och 4 Artister.SlutsatserVi har genom vår analys och slutdiskussion sett att roller, arbetsfördelning och relationer mellan managers och Artister kan se väldigt olika ut från fall till fall. I grunden anses att Artisten ska ansvara för de kreativa delarna och managern för de affärsmässiga delarna av Artistskapet.

AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to analyse and interpret Artist Hans Hedberg?s monumental, ceramic reliefs in Sweden and France. Hedberg is internationally famous for his ceramic fruits and eggs in different glaces and formats. A mostly unknown side of his Artistic production is that he produced about 50 ceramic reliefs during the 1950s and up to the 1970s in public buildings. Hedberg was one of very few foreign Artists in France, who, during a long period of time, produced monumental, public reliefs for the French state.

The text discusses the folk-tale princess as a good role model for both children and adults, from a feminist debate concerning this issue. Also an iconographic study, it compares women in folk-tale illustrations with women represented in fin-de-Siècle art concentrating on the Great mother goddess and the femme fatale, finding similarities between folk-tale illustrations and other art. Besides that, the text look at the interest for Swedish folk-tales in the 1890´s, the connection between women as illustrators of children?s books and ideas about nature and womanhood that might have had influence on the Swedish Artist Elsa Beskow at the time..

This project is a study in how to represent the Swedish magician and variety Artist Carl-Einar Häckner in a web-based environment. With a starting point focusing on illustration I wanted to produce a web environment that would function as a prototype for a webpage. My personal aim was to explore and gain new experiences from working in a digital interactive environment. I wanted to use animation and illustration to create an atmosphere and communicate emotions, and in the end find out a way of how to integrate that with a more text based content. The project is a personal project based on my interpretation of the work of Carl-Einar Häckner and an effort to translate Häckners expression and the emotions he evokes in his variety shows into image..

This essay examines the relationships between the different elements in Lisa Jonasson?s collage Existentiell Progg #6 and her very detailed technique. The essay has as its aims to understand and analyze both the details and the wholeness of the artwork and to try to put the collage in an art historical context. The thesis finds that Existentiell Progg #6 has a connection to the imagery of Africa and other collage Artist such as Hannah Höch and Nancy Spero, which also gives the paper a perspective of feminism in the arts. The paper continues to create an understanding for the collage work by putting it in to Theodor Adorno?s theories about nature, the human being and the animal kingdom.

This thesis analyzes the consequences of ?Lex Uggla? ? a law concerning the boundaries between firm and individual with respect to wealth taxation ? for small businesses, with more than 3 million SEK in over-liquidity. There are two main findings of this thesis. Firstly, the wealth taxation of non-operational assets seems to be an inefficient tax which costs the Swedish welfare system much more than it generates. Secondly, the change in actions among entrepreneurs following the extensive news coverage following the tax authority?s charges against the company of the well-known Artist, Magnus Uggla (hence ?Lex Uggla?) illustrates that neither changes of rules nor new applications of rules is necessarily sufficient for an agent to change course of action.
