Acero inoxidable. Cortesía: CGAC With regard to the upcoming Venice Biennial Halfway through last July, the Instituto Ramón Llull, a body which is dependant on the Catalan Regional Government, whose mission is to promote Catalan cultural production abroad, announced a public competition with the aim of selecting a curator for the Catalan Pavilion at the upcoming Venice Biennial, which will begin on the 7th of June, 2009. This new project will form part of one of the Biennial’s official sections, entitled Eventi collaterali. The announcement of the competition was preceded by preparation work to find a venue, and, once this was chosen, the process whereby its contents would be defined was given the go-ahead. On the 1st of October, the jury’s decision was announced. They chose Valentí Roma, whose project, Comunidad inconfesable [“Inconfessable Community”], according to the curator himself (see the articles published by Roberta Bosco in the Catalan edition of the El País newspaper, on 16.7.08 and 2.10.08) “seeks to reveal the friction and permanent negotiation processes that are taking place with regards to the ideas of identity and community”, by means of three artworks based on the idea of archive: the Archivo FX, by Pedro G. Romero; the Archivo Poscapital, by Daniel García Andujar; and the one developed by Sitesize, a collective founded by Elvira Pujol and Joan Vila-Puig. At this point, I am not interested in examining the political gesture by the Catalan Regional Government, as it is not the first time that one of the regions in Spain decides to submit its own project to the Venice Biennial, although it is true that on this occasion it contains an aggressive element –on the same level as Taiwan, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, who are also presenting their own pavilions– which was absent in previous editions. What I would like to point out now is that, in contrast to the diligence displayed by Catalan institutions, we are still awaiting news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or its State Cultural and Scientific Office regarding the naming of a curator for the Spanish Pavilion. This should cause tremendous concern. If it is to be successful, this kind of undertaking needs time. A curator cannot be expected to develop a project and select a group of artists in only two or three months. Improvisation is not an option. This, in addition, shows a lack of respect toward his or her work. The Venice Biennial is an event whose participants gain a great deal of exposure. The Catalan modus operandi has been faultless, and has set the appropriate time frame. A similar formula should be followed in the selection of a curator (and a project) for the Spanish Pavilion; and the opinion of the art sector should also be taken into account, through the organisations which represent them in this process. ALICIA MURRÍA A propósito de la próxima Bienal de Venecia A mediados del pasado mes de julio el Instituto Ramón Llull, organismo que depende de la Gerealitat de Catalunya, y cuya misión es difundir la cultura catalana en el extranjero, anunció la convocatoria de un concurso público cuyo objetivo era elegir un comisario para el Pabellón de Catalunya en la próxima edición de la Bienal de Venecia, que se inaugurará el 7 de junio de 2009. Este nuevo proyecto estará integrado en una de las secciones oficiales de la Bienal, la denominada Eventi collaterali. La fecha de la convocatoria había estado precedida por gestiones para localizar una sede y, una vez elegida esta, se ponía en marcha el procedimiento relativo a sus contenidos. El día 1 de octubre se dio a conocer el fallo del jurado. La elección recayó en Valentí Roma cuyo proyecto, Comunidad inconfesable, según sus propias palabras (ver artículos publicados por Roberta Bosco en la edición catalana del diario El País, de 16.7.08 y 2.10.08) “quiere poner de manifiesto los procesos de fricción y negociación permanente relacionados con las ideas de identidad y comunidad”, y ello a través de tres trabajos basados en la idea de archivo: el Archivo FX, de Pedro G. Romero; el Archivo poscapital, de Daniel García Andujar; y el desar- rollado por Sitesize, colectivo fundado por Elvira Pujol y Joan Vila-Puig. No me interesa ahora valorar el gesto político de la Generalitat, no es la primera vez que una Comunidad del Estado español se plantea llevar un proyecto propio a la Bienal de Vene- cia, bien es cierto que se hace ahora con una carga reivindicativa –en equiparación a Taiwan, Gales, Escocia o Irlanda del Norte, que también presentan pabellones propios– ausente en las otras ocasiones. Lo que señalo ahora es que, frente a la diligencia mostrada por las instituciones catala- nas, no tenemos noticia de que el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores o su Dirección General de Relaciones Culturales y Científicas hayan movido ficha respecto al nombramiento de comisa- rio del Pabellón de España.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

    Oral history interview with Suzanne Lacy, 1990 Mar. 16-Sept. 27 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Suzanne Lacy on March 16, 1990. The interview took place in Berkeley, California, and was conducted by Moira Roth for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This interview has been extensively edited for clarification by the artist, resulting in a document that departs significantly from the tape recording, but that results in a far more usable document than the original transcript. —Ed. Interview [ Tape 1, side A (30-minute tape sides)] MOIRA ROTH: March 16, 1990, Suzanne Lacy, interviewed by Moira Roth, Berkeley, California, for the Archives of American Art. Could we begin with your birth in Fresno? SUZANNE LACY: We could, except I wasn’t born in Fresno. [laughs] I was born in Wasco, California. Wasco is a farming community near Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. There were about six thousand people in town. I was born in 1945 at the close of the war. My father [Larry Lacy—SL], who was in the military, came home about nine months after I was born. My brother was born two years after, and then fifteen years later I had a sister— one of those “accidental” midlife births.

This shift represents a transformation in museum culture and an increase in curated live performance. Performing the Museum: Displaying Gender and Archiving Labor, from Performance Art to Theater contributes to emerging debates in performance studies that seek to understand how performance is impacted by museums. This project, however, does not look solely at performance in museum spaces. Rather, it is one of the first to align contemporary museum performance with theatrical works that dramatize the creation and subsequent museum exhibition of visual art. The project examines work by Marina Abramović, Asco, Guillermo Goméz-Peña, Maria Hassabi, and the musical Sunday in the Park ii with George.

  • Sexual Violence in America: Theory, Literature, Activism
    Sexual Violence in America: Theory, Literature, Activism ENGL | GNSE 18700 Winter 2019 Monday/Wednesday 4:30-5:50pm Cobb 303 Michael Dango, Ph.D. [email protected] Office Hours: Mondays 2:30-4:30pm Walker 420 Course Description This course will consider how a spectrum of sexual violence has been represented, politicized, and theorized in the United States from the 1970s to the present. To get a handle on this vast topic, our archive will be wide-ranging, including legal statutes and court opinions on sexual harassment and pornography; fiction, poetry, and graphic novels that explore the limits of representing sexual trauma; activist discourses in pamphlets and editorials from INCITE to #MeToo; and ground- breaking essays by feminist and queer theorists, especially from critical women of color. How does the meaning of sex and of power shift with different kinds of representation, theory, and activism? How have people developed a language to share experiences of violation and disrupt existing power structures? And how do people begin to imagine and build a different world whether through fiction, law, or institutions? Because of the focus of this course, our readings will almost always present sexual violence itself in explicit and sometimes graphic ways. Much of the material can be upsetting. So, too, may be our class discussions, because difficult material can produce conversations whose trajectories are not knowable in advance. Careful attention to the material and to each other as we participate in the co-creation of knowledge will be our rule. However, even this cannot make a guarantee against surprises. Please read through all of the syllabus now so you know what lies ahead.

  • Contemporary Feminist Art in Australia and New Zealand
    LOOKING BACK: CONTEMPORARY FEMINIST ART IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND Harriet Maher Master of Arts by Research December 2016 School of Culture and Communication Submission in total fulfilment of Masters by Research at the University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This thesis sets out to examine the ways in which feminism manifests itself in contemporary art, focusing in particular on Australia and New Zealand. Interviews were conducted with practicing contemporary artists Kelly Doley, FANTASING (Bek Coogan, Claire Harris, Sarah-Jane Parton, Gemma Syme), Deborah Kelly, Jill Orr and Hannah Raisin. During these interviews, a number of key themes emerged which form the integral structure of the thesis. A combination of information drawn from interviews, close reading of art works, and key theoretical texts is used to position contemporary feminist art in relation to its recent history. I will argue that the continuation of feminist practices and devices in contemporary practice points to a circular pattern of repetition in feminist art, which resists a linear teleology of art historical progress. The relationship between feminism and contemporary art lies in the way that current practices revisit crucial issues which continue to cycle through the lived experience of femininity, such as the relationship to the body, to labour and capital, to the environment, and to structures of power. By acknowledging that these issues are not tied to a specific historical period, I argue that feminist art does not constitute a short moment of prolific production in the last few decades of the twentieth century, but is a sustained movement which continually adapts and shifts in order to remain abreast of contemporary issues.

  • Abstract Suzanne Lacy
    ABSTRACT SUZANNE LACY: THREE WEEKS IN MAY Suzanne Lacy’s continuous involvement in both the feminist and anti-rape movements during the 1970s helped raise social awareness on the subject of rape, an issue that was rarely taken seriously and often misunderstood. Beginning with a brief outline of the anti-rape movement and its feminist context, this paper will explore Lacy’s groundbreaking work, Three Weeks in May, a Los Angeles based event that addressed the issue of rape using a combination of art and social organization. This three week long event consisted of gallery installations, self- defense demonstrations, public speak-outs and street performances. In this thesis I will take into consideration the benefits of utilizing public art as a means to address social and political issues, and elucidate Three Weeks in May’s contribution to the anti-rape movement.

    OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery WB Exhibition Checklist 1 | Page of 58 (2012_Jan_23) GUIDE TO THE EXHIBITION Doin’ It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman’s Building October 1, 2011–January 28, 2012 Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art and Design Introduction “Doin’ It in Public” documents a radical and fruitful period of art made by women at the Woman’s Building—a place described by Sondra Hale as “the first independent feminist cultural institution in the world.” The exhibition, two‐volume publication, website, video herstories, timeline, bibliography, performances, and educational programming offer accounts of the collaborations, performances, and courses conceived and conducted at the Woman’s Building (WB) and reflect on the nonprofit organization’s significant impact on the development of art and literature in Los Angeles between 1973 and 1991. The WB was founded in downtown Los Angeles in fall 1973 by artist Judy Chicago, art historian Arlene Raven, and designer Sheila Levrant de Bretteville as a public center for women’s culture with art galleries, classrooms, workshops, performance spaces, bookstore, travel agency, and café. At the time, it was described in promotional materials as “a special place where women can learn, work, explore, develop their own point of view and share it with everyone. Women of every age, race, economic group, lifestyle and sexuality are welcome. Women are invited to express themselves freely both verbally and visually to other women and the whole community.” When we first conceived of “Doin’ It in Public,” we wanted to incorporate the principles of feminist art education into our process.

New York, NY, September 4, 2018 – The Anya and Andrew Shiva Gallery at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY announces the public programming for the groundbreaking exhibition The Un-Heroic Act: Representations of Rape in Contemporary Women’s Art in the U.S. The exhibition will be on view at 860 Eleventh Avenue (between 58th & 59th Street, ground floor), New York, NY 10019, from September 4 to November 2, 2018, Mon-Fri 10-6.
