    Heiser, Jörg. “Do it Again,” Frieze, Issue 94, October 2005. In conversation with Marina Abramovic Marina Abramovic: Monica, I really like your piece Hausfrau Swinging [1997] – a video that combines sculpture and performance. Have you ever performed this piece yourself? Monica Bonvicini: No, although my mother said, ‘you have to do it, Monica – you have to stand there naked wearing this house’. I replied, ‘I don’t think so’. In the piece a woman has a model of a house on her head and bangs it against a dry-wall corner; it’s related to a Louise Bourgeois drawing from the ‘Femme Maison’ series [Woman House, 1946–7], which I had a copy of in my studio for a long time. I actually first shot a video of myself doing the banging, but I didn’t like the result at all: I was too afraid of getting hurt. So I thought of a friend of mine who is an actor: she has a great, strong body – a little like the woman in the Louise Bourgeois drawing that inspired it – and I knew she would be able to do it the right way. Jörg Heiser: Monica, after you first showed Wall Fuckin’ in 1995 – a video installation that includes a static shot of a naked woman embracing a wall, with her head outside the picture frame – you told me one critic didn’t talk to you for two years because he was upset it wasn’t you. It’s an odd assumption that female artists should only use their own bodies.

  • The Careful Crafting of a Utopia: Yves Klein and the Anthropometric Event
    The Careful Crafting of a Utopia: Yves Klein and the Anthropometric Event of March 9, 1960 Sarah M. Bartlett Washington and Lee University Department of Art and Art History Honors Thesis in Art History March 25, 2016 I have neither given nor received any unacknowledged aid on this thesis. Sarah M. Bartlett ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am hugely indebted to my parents, who offered me tremendous encouragement over the past ten months. Without their support, I never would have been able to spend hours poring over Yves Klein’s writings this past August at the Yves Klein Archives in Paris. My love affair with the artist’s work only grew because of their help. In addition, I would like to thank Mabel Tapia for her guidance and careful assistance during my visit to the Yves Klein Archives. She graciously directed me towards countless invaluable resources and allowed me to view a wide variety of original manuscripts and drawings. Of course, I must thank Professor Melissa R. Kerin for the countless hours of guidance she offered throughout this process. This project would not have been the same without her support, and I am forever indebted to her for motivating me to produce the best possible thesis. Thank you.
