THE PLAGIARIST IS PRESENT: THOUGHTS ON ART, THEFT, SHIA, MARINA AND JAY-Z JENNIFER KABAT TThhuurrssddaayy,, MMaarrcchh 2277,, 22001144 1. SHIA LABEOUF CRIES wearing a brown paper bag on his head with two holes cut for eyes. Jay-Z dances for “art world luminaries.” The dancing and crying are performance art – or stolen from it. 2. This February Shia sits in an art gallery in Los Angeles as fans line up for hours down the block and through an alley waiting for the chance to sit alone before the star and stare into his eyes. (Or, what you can see of them through the paper bag). Cameras aren’t allowed. They’re smuggled in. He remains impassive. The bag is tear-stained. He wears a tux. As you enter, you’re offered a choice of props to bring with you. They include angry tweets written on paper like messages from fortune cookies, a whip, whiskey, candy and a Transformers toy. Apparently you can do with these implements – and Shia – as you wish. Throughout he doesn’t respond. He simply stares and cries. But, if you can’t see the tears, is he really crying? Also, he’s an actor; he should be able to well up on command. The sign on the gallery door declares the piece is called #IAMSORRY. 3. Last summer the “art world luminaries” line up for hours outside the Pace Gallery in Chelsea. Once inside they crowd around a plinth and bench cordoned off by a shin-high rope, the sort museums use to keep people from touching the art. Behind the rope on the pedestal Jay-Z appears. Members of the audience are invited one-by-one to sit before him on the bench as he performs his song “Picasso Baby” over and over for hours in the gallery. 4. The two events are copies, maybe fakes, based on Marina Abramović’s arduous 700-hour long “The Artist is Present” performance at MoMA (also the name of her retrospective there on at the same time). She sat in a chair in the museum’s atrium, always wearing a long flowing dress, hair always braided and always over her left shoulder. Day in and day out she stared into some 1400 people’s eyes individually.[1] Crowds lined up for hours. Some came more than once. Her expression never changed, nor did her posture. She didn’t cry, but people in the audience did. This is what the art world calls “durational performance.” 5. The invitation to Jay-Z’s performance says: “The performance is an experimental and collaborative one, where rap’s own history with endurance and duration will be at play.” 6. Jay-Z only lasted six hours. Shia a week. 7. In “Picasso Baby” Jay-Z, aka Shawn Carter, sings, “Fuck it I want a billion/ Jeff Koons ballons. I just wanna blow up / Condos[2] in my condos. I wanna row of / Christie’s with my missy, live at the MoMA/ Bacons and turkey bacons, smell the aroma.” 8. Marina Abramović arrives at the shoot in a limo. When he performs for her, they stare at each other, locking eyes and foreheads. 9. Afterwards people in the art world describe feeling punked by it all, “punked” not their word but mine. A friend writes to me: 1 of 11 3/8/15 5:12 PM The Plagiarist is Present: Thoughts on Art, Theft, Shia, Marina and... http://www.theweeklings.com/jkabat/2014/03/27/49-thoughts-on-s... Jay-Z had water, many breaks, adulation, clapping, ego-patting, not to mention the glam life he raps about to return to, and the artist from whom it is borrowed (in this case from Marina) is a flattered and glad participant – what sort of a simulacrum is this? Can we use that word?? 10. Shia’s performance may be part of his long “apology tour,” as I’ll call it, for his plagiarizing comic artist Daniel Clowes. The apology has included skywriting and tweeting his abject sorrow. Only there are numerous earlier apologies LaBeouf made for other things – and all of those apologies were plagiarized as well, lifted from a writer at GQ, David Mamet, Yahoo Answers, Kanye West, Charles Bukowski…. Just to keep all this straight and make it clear: we have Shia apologizing in February 2013 on Twitter to Alec Baldwin. That apology? Ripped from GQ. Then, he apologizes for the apology using Mamet, and so it goes… He debuts his film plagiarized from Clowes in May at Cannes and gets caught in December. Of course, the apology? Not his. Not by a long shot… 11. This gets me thinking about four little paintings, shaped like an eye, a slit, a vagina…. In fact, their vaginal suggestiveness is impossible to ignore. Hold on and I’ll get to how they connect to Shia and Marina and Jay-Z. Just keep those paintings in your mind. Here’s an image of them: Rochelle Feinstein. The Abramovic Method, mixed media. Image courtesy the artist and On Stellar Rays. They’re by Rochelle Feinstein. They’re also called the Abramovic Method. 12. A funny thing happened on the way from A to Z, from Abramovic to Jay-Z. Here are some more of the lyrics of that song Picasso Baby: “It ain’t hard to tell, I’m the new Jean Michel/ Surrounded by Warhols…/ Twin Bugattis outside the Art Basel.” 13. Art here is just another commodity. Abramović’s performances have often been about duration and endurance, suffering, not exactly something it’s easy to buy or sell. It’s hard to commodify stabbing yourself or burning your hair and nails in a fire….[3] What’s there to purchase? Meanwhile much of the art market that you hear about – the high end with the big fairs and big money, the auction market, say – has become the ultimate luxury good for the private-jet class. Unhinged from any use-value, art’s worth is entirely arbitrary. I don’t want to suggest that Jay Z isn’t interested in art. He’s supposed to be a serious collector, and I don’t think the video equals who he is in “real” life. Also, I want “the art world,” which often seems like some fairytale realm set apart from the real world, to move closer to it. Here, though, Picassos and Condos and Basquiats are interchangeable with just so much Cristal and so many Benjamins. “I want a Picasso in my casa, no my castle… I’m an asshole…” Uh, yeah.[4] 14. So, we have crying Shia and Jay-Z bobbing. In the gallery during the filming New York magazine’s art critic, the ubiquitous Jerry Saltz, looks as if he’s being played by Paul Giamatti, and Shia LeB and Jay-Z have ripped off (or borrowed from) Marina A. Both have been inspired by her Artist is Present stare-down, the one memorialized in the HBO documentary, the one with the tumblr “Marina Abramović Made Me Cry,” the one that has made her the most famous woman artist today, where people lined up for hours on 53rd Street waiting to sit and stare before her. The 2 of 11 3/8/15 5:12 PM The Plagiarist is Present: Thoughts on Art, Theft, Shia, Marina and... http://www.theweeklings.com/jkabat/2014/03/27/49-thoughts-on-s... experience was supposed to offer up something real, a genuine exchange in this our age of social networks and supposedly “not-real” exchanges. Shia was impassive as he addressed us (well, the “us” who queued for him on the streets of LA. That “us” isn’t actually me). He cried for most, but stares at his interlocutor here. But what is he offering “us”? Somehow his entire play at fraud and copying, originality and apology seems like he’s trying to say something bigger, something that he thinks might be art, but what? 15. His plagiarizing Daniel Clowes looked at first like straight-up theft as if he didn’t realize taking someone else’s words was wrong or that he might get caught, as if he, a star, were above the realms (and rules) governing you and I and was literally celestial. Then, there’s the skywriting an apology in the skies of LA on New Year’s Day. And, wearing a bag on his head scrawled, “I am not famous anymore” at the premiere of Nymphomaniac at the Berlin Film Festival. Or the second act of skywriting, “Stop Creating” and a third time skywriting a dictum to “Start Creating” again. It came on the heels of his LA performance art “show,” where he sat in a room for eight hours a day letting us confront him. So, what is going on here? Plagiarism, joke, art? Or maybe he’s just trying to distract us from his bad sex and bad accent in Nymphomaniac. 16. James Franco believes it’s art. Apparently so too does Shia himself.[5] 17. On one of the preview days for this year’s Whitney Biennial (Go see it by the way. It’s good, and originality and value are on show) one of the curators whispers, “Go downstairs; James Franco’s getting a tour on the 3rd floor….” 18. With art it can feel at times like the joke is on us. (Here I mean me too, all of us, not the “us” above of the generalized, implied audience).

This edition published by arrangement with Portfolio, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House LLC © Гусева А., перевод, 2017 © Оформление. ООО «Издательство «Эксмо», 2017 * * * Введение Четвертого октября 1969 года в 00 часов 10 минут по верхнему уровню Мертл- авеню в последний раз прогрохотал поезд наземки, навсегда скрывшись в ночи[1]. Два месяца спустя Шон Кори Картер, более известный как Jay Z, появился на свет и обрел свой первый дом в расположенном поблизости Марси Хаузес. Сейчас этот раскинувшийся на значительной территории комплекс однообразных шестиэтажных кирпичных зданий отделен пятью жилыми блоками от призрачных руин линии Мертл- авеню, вытянутой полой конструкции, которую никто так и не потрудился снести. В годы формирования личности Jay Z остальная территория Бедфорд-Стайвесант подобным же образом игнорировалась властями. В 1980-е, с расцветом наркоторговли, уроки спроса и предложения можно было получить за каждым углом. Прошлое Марси до сих пор дает о себе знать: железные ворота с внушительными замками, охраняющие парковочные места; номера квартир, белой краской выписанные по трафарету под каждым окном, выходящим на улицу, призванные помочь полиции в поисках скрывающихся преступников; и, конечно, скелет железной дороги над Мертл-авеню, буквально в нескольких шагах от современной станции, на которой теперь останавливаются поезда маршрутов J и Z. На этих страницах вы найдете подробную историю пути Jay Z от безрадостных улиц Бруклина к высотам мира бизнеса.

  • MA-2013 07 the New Yorker
    Allen, Emma. “The Rapper is Present,” The New Yorker, July 11, 2013 JULY 11, 2013 THE RAPPER IS PRESENT POSTED BY EMMA ALLEN Three years ago, when the performance artist Marina Abramović sat in the atrium of the Museum of Modern Art for seven hundred and fifty hours, many of the people who had waited in long lines to sit across from her melted down in her presence. Abramović remained silent and still, enduring thirst, hunger, and back pain (and speculation as to how, exactly, she was or was not peeing), while visitors, confronted with her placid gaze, variously wept, vomited, stripped naked, and proposed marriage. But the other day, at the Pace Gallery in Chelsea, where Jay-Z was presenting his own take on Abramović’s piece—rapping for six hours in front of a rotating cast of art-world V.I.P.s—viewers’ primary response was to get up and dance. Jay-Z (or Shawn Carter, or Hova, as he’s alternately known) was continuously performing “Picasso Baby,” the second song on his new album, “Magna Carta… Holy Grail,” to a succession of visual artists, museum directors, gallerists, Hollywood folk, and Pablo’s granddaughter Diana Widmaier Picasso. These guests took turns on or near a wooden bench positioned across from a low platform on which the rapper stood, except when he was prowling around. A crowd of less famous art-world denizens and cool-looking people (some of whom had been specially cast) loitered along the walls of the gallery, except when they were invited to scurry right up to Jay-Z.

  • A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement
    Black Social Movements Past and Present: A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement by J. Vern Cromartie, Ed.D. [email protected] Professor of Sociology, Chair, Sociology Department Contra Costa College, San Pablo, California Abstract This paper focuses on Black social movements past and present with special reference to the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement. It examines the Black Arts Movement as a social movement that emerged during the mid-1960s and lasted until the mid-1970s. It also examines the Hip Hop Movement as a social movement that emerged during the early 1970s and has lasted to the present. This paper presents a comparative analysis of both social movements and identifies their goals, ideologies, organization and status systems, and tactics. The comparative analysis also includes an examination of both movements’ internal development in the form of the incipient phase, organizational phase, and stable phase. Likewise, the comparative analysis includes an examination of both movements’ external development in the form of innovation, selection, and integration. In addition, this paper addresses some implications of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement as social movements. In this study, a mixed methods approach has been employed, including the case study, participant observation, and a qualitative survey. The research techniques include direct observation, interviews with people involved in the two movements, and content analysis of primary and secondary source documents. Keywords: Black Arts Movement, Hip Hop Movement, social movement, race, culture. 77 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.11, no.6, April 2018 Introduction During the 20th century in the United States of America (USA), Black people developed a host of social movements to address social problems they faced.

Where other sources of information have been used they have been acknowledged. Name: …Owen Glyndwr Parry… Date: … 24 September 2013… 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Gavin Butt for the generous guidance he has offered since day one. I would also like to thank Gavin, Adrian Heathfield and Lois Keidan of the Live Art Development Agency for taking me on as a researcher on their three-year creative research project Performance Matters. I am very grateful to them for this opportunity and the unparalleled experience it has offered both intellectually and professionally. A special thanks also goes to my fellow researcher Augusto Corrieri, and the Trash Team – João Florêncio, Vikki Chalklin, Mathias Danbolt, Oriana Fox and Jay Stewart. Our talks and discussions, salons, excursions, readings, screenings, performances, photo shoots, journal editing experiences, and parties have sustained me and kept my research appropriately off track. I look forward to more trashy escapades. A big thank you also goes to my performance collaborator Mitch, and to Lola/ Eirini Kartsaki, who has been a pillar of support and also offered feedback on my writing at various stages. My thanks go to Rebecca Collins for the feedback on Chapter 3, and to Kirsty and Tom McKaskill-Baxter, who invited me into their beautiful home in Manchester for five weeks, offering me the much needed time, space and central heating to get on with a consistent spurt of writing.
