    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.

  • 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.

  • Marina Abramovic and Destiny of Performance Art
    Marina Abramovic and destiny of performance art Introduction In this thesis I would like to dedicate myself on researching and explaining some important elements related to the performance art as a particular sort of visual arts, Marina Abramovic as a pioneer of Performance Art and to try to predict potential destiny of the performance or may I say less pretentious, to give some remarks regarding possible direction of performance art toward new generation of performance artists as well as performance practices. At the beginning I must give a very short overview of what exactly was performance art in the near past. In the 1960ʼs performance art has been established as action against museums, galleries, and any kind of commercial value. Artists involved in performance practice in that time have decided to refuse any sort of documentation such as video, photographs or sound during the performing. The work would only exist afterward by word of mouth. In the 1970ʼs performance art becomes a radical form against every political and moral in justice in the world. In the 1980ʼs when commercial art becomes very popular, performance art has faced a complete crash without any possibilities of surviving or developing. Paintings and commercial sculptures were produced for art trade and dealing. Performance artists who faced the problem of what else to do started to switch from performance to architecture, installations and commercial art pieces in order to benefit of their art. Marina Abramovic and her former partner Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen) faced the same problem, as well. Through the 1980ʼs and in 1990ʼs , Marina Abramovic continued performing, deeply believing in the possibilities of the body transformations and the energy transition via performance art.

  • 'I Write Four Times….': a Tribute to the Work and Teaching of Donald Preziosi
    ‘I write four times….’: A tribute to the work and teaching of Donald Preziosi Amelia Jones ‘I write four times here, around painting.’ So states Jacques Derrida in section four of the first chapter, ‘Passe-Partout,’ of his book Truth in Painting, published in 1978 in French and in 1987 in English (translated brilliantly by Geoff Bennington and Ian McLeod). At first I had remembered this (strongly) as the first sentence of Truth in Painting. But in fact the first sentence of the book, which is also the first sentence of ‘Passe-Partout,’ reads as follows: ‘Someone, not me comes and says the words: “I am interested in the idiom in painting”.’ Derrida goes on, on the second page, to remind us of where the phrase ‘truth in painting’ comes from. It is ‘signed by Cézanne,’ who wrote to his fellow painter and friend Emile Bernard in 1905, ‘I OWE YOU THE TRUTH IN PAINTING AND I WILL TELL IT TO YOU.’ All of these sentences, but particularly ‘I write four times here, around painting,’ have stayed fresh in my mind for these almost thirty years, along with the last sentence of ‘Passe-Partout’ (one of my favorites in all poststructuralist theory): ‘The internal edges of a passe-partout are often beveled.’1 Four times. The sides of a frame, which signal the ‘inside’ of the work of art (its essence) by purporting to divide it from the ‘outside’ (the ‘parergonal,’ all that is extrinsic to its essential nature as art). Such is the grounding of aesthetics, which continues to inform our beliefs about this stuff we call ‘art.’ The four chapters of Truth in Painting after the prolegomenous “Passe-Partout”—1) ‘Parergon’; 2) ‘+R (Into the Bargain)’; 3) ‘Cartouches’; 4) ‘Restitutions’—parallel this ‘writing four times,’ and mimic the four sides of a frame.
