  • Judith Bernstein, Trailblazer in Erotic Art an Interview with the Feminist Visionary About Her Art and Its Current Revival
    805 Traction Avenue Los Angeles CA 90013 213.625.1747 www.theboxla.com Judith Bernstein, Trailblazer in Erotic Art An interview with the feminist visionary about her art and its current revival. BY HAZEL CILLS | JAN 20, 2016 (ELENA POLSON AND STEFANIE APPLE) As one of the founders of New York City's A.I.R. Gallery, the first-ever all-female art gallery in the United States, artist Judith Bernstein had a career that seemed to be on the rise in the early 1970s. The Newark-born, Yale-educated artist made bold, erotic large-scale charcoal drawings of phalluses that stood apart from the clean, conceptual minimalist works that populated galleries at the time. But when one of these pieces, a scratchy, mural-size illustration of a screw-shaped phallus titled Horizontal, was censored from the 1974 show "Women's Work" in Philadelphia, Bernstein had trouble getting her graphic art into galleries. 805 Traction Avenue Los Angeles CA 90013 213.625.1747 www.theboxla.com It wasn't until decades later, in 2008, that gallerist Mitchell Algus gave Bernstein a solo show in New York and Paul McCarthy fell in love with her work and exhibited her at his West Coast gallery the Box. Suddenly, Bernstein's long-underrated art was being given positive reviews at contemporary galleries, and from there, her textured penises, anti-war paintings, and vaginal icons made their way into the collections of the Whitney, MoMA, and the Jewish Museum, among others. Today, the art world is just beginning to recognize Bernstein as a trailblazer in erotic art, and her work that was once relegated to storage has a newfound audience.

  • 2014 Festival Catalog
    welcome For many years, we have worked together to build places for exploring the erotic, for meeting Eros, within ourselves and others. And we have seen the transformation that happens when people are allowed (encouraged) to encounter and Reveal true, authentic selves. We have built places that not only tolerate who we really are, but go further and accept who we are. And go further even, and celebrate our true essence. How can we know, really know, who we are if we keep so much hidden? How can we move freely, heartily through life while carrying the burdens of “unspeakable” secrets? We cannot fully love and profoundly affect our world, until we have met our real selves. And so, we offer Reveal as a promise and an invitation. Let us show you who we are, and perhaps you will reveal yourselves to us, too. We would be honored. Through art, let us reveal to you some possibilities. Let our artists lay a welcome mat; come explore–the light & dark, the soft & hard, the profane & profound. Stare, gawk, study, giggle. Stay as long as you dare, dare yourself to stay longer–past comfort, and back again. We bring you Seattle Erotic Art Festival to use as your bridge to authentic selves. Reveal. Because Eros’s love is in you, and we want you to know it. Through art, let us meet each other, and ourselves. With love and honor, Sophia Iannicelli and Leila Anasazi Seattle Erotic Art Festival 2014 ii juried exhibition juried exhibition The Festival is known worldwide for its comprehensive collection of international fine art celebrating the diversity of human sexual expression.

When it involves the female body it can also be erotic. 4 Erotic Ambiguities is a study of how contemporary women artists have recon- 5 ceptualised the figure of the female nude. Helen McDonald shows how, over 6 the past thirty years, artists have employed the idea of ambiguity to dismantle 7 the exclusive, classical ideal enshrined in the figure of the nude, and how they 8 have broadened the scope of the ideal to include differences of race, ethnicity, 9 sexuality and disability as well as gender. 20111 McDonald discusses the work of a wide range of women artists, including 1 Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, Mary Duffy, Zoe Leonard, Tracey Moffatt, Pat 2 Brassington and Sally Smart. She traces the shift in feminist art practices from 3 the early challenge to patriarchal representations of the female nude to contem- 4 porary, ‘postfeminist’ practices, influenced by theories of performativity, queer 5 theory and postcoloniality. McDonald argues that feminist efforts to develop 6 a more positive representation of the female body need to be reconsidered, 7 in the face of the resistant ambiguities and hybrid complexities of visual art in 8 the late 1990s. 9 30111 Helen McDonald is an Honorary Fellow in the School of Fine Arts, Classical 1 Studies and Archaeology at the University of Melbourne. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 i RUNNING HEAD 1111 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 ii RUNNING HEAD

  • Rethinking Coalitions: Anti-Pornography Feminists, Conservatives, and Relationships Between Collaborative Adversarial Movements
    Rethinking Coalitions: Anti-Pornography Feminists, Conservatives, and Relationships between Collaborative Adversarial Movements Nancy Whittier This research was partially supported by the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences. The author thanks the following people for their comments: Martha Ackelsberg, Steven Boutcher, Kai Heidemann, Holly McCammon, Ziad Munson, Jo Reger, Marc Steinberg, Kim Voss, the anonymous reviewers for Social Problems, and editor Becky Pettit. A previous version of this paper was presented at the 2011 Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association. Direct correspondence to Nancy Whittier, 10 Prospect St., Smith College, Northampton MA 01063. Email: [email protected]. 1 Abstract Social movements interact in a wide range of ways, yet we have only a few concepts for thinking about these interactions: coalition, spillover, and opposition. Many social movements interact with each other as neither coalition partners nor opposing movements. In this paper, I argue that we need to think more broadly and precisely about the relationships between movements and suggest a framework for conceptualizing non- coalitional interaction between movements. Although social movements scholars have not theorized such interactions, “strange bedfellows” are not uncommon. They differ from coalitions in form, dynamics, relationship to larger movements, and consequences. I first distinguish types of relationships between movements based on extent of interaction and ideological congruence and describe the relationship between collaborating, ideologically-opposed movements, which I call “collaborative adversarial relationships.” Second, I differentiate among the dimensions along which social movements may interact and outline the range of forms that collaborative adversarial relationships may take. Third, I theorize factors that influence collaborative adversarial relationships’ development over time, the effects on participants and consequences for larger movements, in contrast to coalitions.

  • Karin Bruns All by Myself Technologies of the Self in Porn
    Vorträge im Rahmen der Tagung Medienamateure: Wie verändern Laien unsere visuelle Kultur? Internationale und interdisziplinäre Tagung der Universität Siegen Prof. Dr. Susanne Regener, 5.-7. Juni 2008 Alle Rechte liegen bei den Autorinnen und Autoren. Bei Verwendung bitte folgenden Quellennachweis angeben: „Vortrag im Rahmen der Tagung ›Medienamateure. Wie verändern Laien unsere visuelle Kultur?‹“ Universität Siegen 5.-7.6.2008, in: www.medienamateure.de Karin Bruns All by Myself Technologies of the Self in Porn Blogs and Web Forums In the pop song “All by Myself”, the American singer Eartha Kitt describes the pleasure felt in self-withdrawal as well as the dangers it brings.1 Since the song was first released in 1976 by Eric Carmen, it stands as a symbol for the ambivalent feelings arising from being famous, being a star, and loneliness.2 Again and again, Eartha Kitt sung “All by Myself”, adding variations and including passages with a seemingly very personal touch. The last time was in a New York revue theater, shortly before her seventieth birthday in 2008. The confession manifest in the lyrics of this version of the song and the related self-publishing of a star suffering under the pressure of publicity refer to the marginalized position of a female afro-American artist. The 1982 documentary film “All by Myself” (USA/D, director: Christian Blackwood) follows this interpretation. The refrain “I wanna be all by myself” is staged over and over again, and the film, just like at the close of the song, reverses it at the end (“don't wanna be all by myself anymore”).

  • Writing the Naked Body: Sex and Nudity in Nuala Ní Chonchuír's Nude
    Estudios Irlandeses, Number 11, 2016, pp. 1-11 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Writing the Naked Body: Sex and Nudity in Nuala Ní Chonchuír’s Nude Máximo Aláez Corral University of Oviedo, Spain Copyright (c) 2016 by Máximo Aláez Corral. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. This essay looks into the deconstruction of the male gaze and the objectification process around the concepts of nudity and nakedness. Starting from the review of some of Martha Nussbaum’s, John Berger’s, or Laura Mulvey’s main ideas on the topic of the gaze and objectification, a practical analysis of some of the short stories contained in Nuala Ní Chonchúir’s Nude (2009) is provided. By so doing, I intend to examine the ways in which conventional objectification phenomena can be turned upside down, challenged or parodied in order to reveal cultural discriminatory undercurrents and offer a new non-objectifying visual and written representation of the naked body. Key Words. Ní Chonchúir, Objectification, Male Gaze, Nude, Naked Body, Feminism. Resumen. Este ensayo analiza la deconstrucción de la mirada masculina y el proceso de reificación en torno al concepto de desnudez en toda su extensión. Tras plantear un breve repaso de algunas de las ideas planteadas por Martha Nussbaum, John Berger o Laura Mulvey acerca tanto de la mirada como de la reificación del cuerpo, realizo un análisis práctico de algunos de los relatos contenidos en Nude (2009), de la autora irlandesa Nuala Ní Chonchúir.
