  • Collaborative “Mail Art” Puts the Post in Postmodernism Letters, Envelopes and Enclosures Take Center Stage in an Intimate New Art Show
    Collaborative “Mail Art” Puts the Post in Postmodernism Letters, envelopes and enclosures take center stage in an intimate new art show Envelope decoration was always a staple of the mail art experience. This colorful letter was sent from performance artist Anna Banana (Anna Lee Long) to collagist John Evans in 2010. (John Evans papers, Archives of American Art). By Ryan P. Smith JULY 30, 2018 In the era of instant messaging and FaceTime on the go, it can be easy to forget the pleasure of shuffling out to the mailbox in hope of discovering a thoughtful note from an old friend. Removing a letter from its envelope is a rich tactile experience, and marginalia, cross-outs, distinct penmanship and quirky enclosures combine to give epistolary exchanges a uniquely personal flavor. In the experimental artistic simmer of the late 1950s, the everyday creativity of letter-writing gave rise to a veritable movement: that of “mail art,” an antiestablishment, anything-goes mode of serial imaginative expression whose inclusive nature has kept it alive even into the Digital Age. Now a new show, “Pushing the Envelope,” organized by the Smithsonian's Achives of 2018 American Art and opening August 10 at the Lawrence A. Fleischman Gallery in Washington, D.C., promises to shine a spotlight on the medium. The enigmatic Neo-Dada collagist Ray Johnson, a Detroit native who struggled with fame even as he appropriated images of movie stars for his art, pioneered in the field of mail art, weaving together an immense spider web of collaborators that would survive him following his sudden suicide in 1995.

  • Texts of Old Blog Posts
    !1 of !77 Ruined Books Blog A Book of Bibliolages—initial post, Feb. 27, 2013 A Book of Bibliolage makes a good place to begin this blog. The website goes back a few weeks now. The practice of bibliolaging goes back seven to ten years, depending on your definition. The word bibliolage goes back about three years, my invention, I think. And the blog starts now. A bibliolage is always an “altered book”—that’s the family—but, strange child in the corner, it abides by its own rules, sucks its very own thumb. (When I came up with the motto “Puerility Taken to a Whole New Level!” it made me smile, but it’s not terribly self-respectful.) A bibliolage is also always a collage, but it so severely does not hang on a wall, I had to build a website to hang it anywhere. A bibliolage sits on a shelf, here a creaky one, because the art takes a heavy book and makes it heavier. It takes a page and squares it, so the binding typically bulges. A library shelf keeps books aloft, vertical, slim, and Ssshhh-ed! My shelves sag, and the engorged volumes seem angry with being books. They protest at gravity, clamoring mirth. They revel in ruin and rue preservation. They do not resign to a system, least of all Dewey decimal. They do not speak for authority but squeal for special attention from the court. On the site you can find a list of titles, some eighty-six in the columns as of now, but the ranks are uneven, as some have struck off in wayward directions, but so far no new tendency has turned me from the !2 of !77 extraillustrative ‘lage.

  • Feminist Art, the Women's Movement, and History
    Working Women’s Menu, Women in Their Workplaces Conference, Los Angeles, CA. Pictured l to r: Anne Mavor, Jerri Allyn, Chutney Gunderson, Arlene Raven; photo credit: The Waitresses 70 THE WAITRESSES UNPEELED In the Name of Love: Feminist Art, the Women’s Movement and History By Michelle Moravec This linking of past and future, through the mediation of an artist/historian striving for change in the name of love, is one sort of “radical limit” for history. 1 The above quote comes from an exchange between the documentary videomaker, film producer, and professor Alexandra Juhasz and the critic Antoinette Burton. This incredibly poignant article, itself a collaboration in the form of a conversation about the idea of women’s collaborative art, neatly joins the strands I want to braid together in this piece about The Waitresses. Juhasz and Burton’s conversation is at once a meditation of the function of political art, the role of history in documenting, sustaining and perhaps transforming those movements, and the influence gender has on these constructions. Both women are acutely aware of the limitations of a socially engaged history, particularly one that seeks to create change both in the writing of history, but also in society itself. In the case of Juhasz’s work on communities around AIDS, the limitation she references in the above quote is that the movement cannot forestall the inevitable death of many of its members. In this piece, I want to explore the “radical limit” that exists within the historiography of the women’s movement, although in its case it is a moribund narrative that threatens to trap the women’s movement, fixed forever like an insect under amber.

Recalling that Rashomon past which I chronicled beginning in my mid-century journals, I am no innocent naif amazed at the politics, skullduggery, and dirty laundry in gay publishing, literature, or any other gay or straight pecking group. I am an academically trained arts and popular culture analyst who, having climbed up from my father’s traveling-salesman household, has had several careers inside groups way more dynamic, power- ful, and byzantine than gay publishing.

  • How the Wende Museum Revises East German History (And Why It Matters)
    Whither Alltag?: How the Wende Museum Revises East German History (and why it matters) SARA BLAYLOCK University of California - Santa Cruz This paper argues for the significance of the Alltagsgeschichte (everyday history) as both a source of information about the past and as a site of resistance against a master narrative that has excluded East Germans from self-determination. More than just a question of East German culture, I will illustrate that this challenge to history threatens West and united German self-identifications, which maintain the East as subordinate. I will focus my analysis on the Wende Museum, a private non-profit archive and museum of Cold War culture located in Culver City, California. Considering the significance that location has had on the narrating of the East German past, I seek to demonstrate how as neither mileux de mémoire (environment of memory) nor lieux de mémoire (site of memory), the Wende Museum avoids the prospect of representing the past in a unifying “authentic” East German narrative. Facing the future for and through the past, the Wende Museum represents a Cold War tabula rasa with space for infinite pasts. 1. Introduction In order to imitate the visual reality of East Germany, director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck filtered The Lives of Others’ (2006) color to a dull hum (“The Lives of Others – Sound, Set and Colour”). Even today, a visit to Berlin’s Alexanderplatz evinces the socialist country’s yen for concrete. Such images confirm the East Germany in mind, which is to say, the anticipated subject, but inadequately represent its lived experience.

  • Culture Monster Wall Project to Close Wilshire Boulevard at Midnight Instead of Afternoon September 28, 2009 | 2:23 Pm
    Culture Monster Wall Project to close Wilshire Boulevard at midnight instead of afternoon September 28, 2009 | 2:23 pm Instead of blocking traffic on busy Wilshire Boulevard for three afternoon hours on Sunday, Nov. 8, the Wende Museum Wall Project's public art installation "The Wall Across Wilshire" -- commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall -- will instead be temporarily constructed across Wilshire near the Los Angeles County Museum of Art shortly before midnight on Nov. 8, and will be symbolically toppled at midnight by artists who will paint on the symbolic wall. Justinian Jampol, president and founder of the Wende Museum and Archive of the Cold War, said Monday that a second part of the Wall Project -- "The Wall Along Wilshire," which will stand in front of the 5900 Wilshire Building from Oct. 17-Nov. 14 -- will now be constructed of 10 newly-acquired segments of the real Berlin Wall instead of newly-fabricated replicas. Included in the installation will be an original Berlin Wall border tower, donated along with the wall segments by a Berlin resident, Thomas Goerner, who owns the property on which the segments stood. "The Wall Along Wilshire" will be painted by artists Kent Twitchell and Thierry Noir, with a section of reserved to be painted by the public. The painted segments will become part of the Wende Museum collection. Jampol said that the time was changed for the "Wall Across Wilshire" installation because the event was beginning to take on a "block party, street event" quality rather than a historical one.
