Editorial Arpita Das & Remi Joseph-Salisbury Within discourses of sexuality, people with disabilities and their sexual desires are often marginalised; at the same time, sexuality hardly appears as a matter of significance for people with disabilities. Too often, the sexual and reproductive needs, desires, and concerns of people with disabilities remain ignored. People with disabilities are often perceived as ‘hypersexual’ beings needing to be con- trolled or, as ‘asexual’ without any sexual and reproductive needs. This journal issue attempts to address these under-represented and marginal- ised voices and aims to advance scholarship at the intersections of disability and sexuality. It has not been an easy process to reach out to scholars and academics for papers for this issue and as editors, we have had to extend the deadline twice in order to be

    3rd Venice International Performance Art Week, 2016 Ouch – Pain and Performance A screening programme curated by Live Art Development Agency, London “I see pain as an inevitable byproduct of interesting performance.” Dominic Johnson According to Wikipedia ‘pain’ is an “unpleasant feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli…(it) motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations and to avoid similar experiences in the future.” But for many artists and audiences the opposite is just as true, and pain within the context of performance is a challenging, exhilarating and profound experience. Ouch is a collection of documentation and artists’ films looking at pain and performance. The works are not necessarily performances about pain, but in some way involve or invoke pain in their making or reading or experience - both the pain artists cause themselves within the course of their work, whether intentional or not, and the experiences of audiences as they are invited to inflict pain on artists or are subjected to pain and discomfort themselves. The selected works feature eminent and ground breaking artists from around the world whose practices address provocative issues including the lived experiences of illness, the aging female body, cosmetic surgery, addiction, embodied public protest, animalistic impulses, blood letting, staged fights, acts of self harm and flagellation, and what can happen when you invite audiences to be complicit in performance actions. Ouch featured artists: Marina Abramovic, Ron Athey, Marcel.Li Antunez Roca, Franko B, Wafaa Bilal, Rocio Boliver, Cassils, Bob Flanagan, Regina Jose Galindo, jamie lewis hadley, Nicola Hunter & Ernst Fischer, Oleg Kulik, Martin O’Brien, Kira O’Reilly, ORLAN, Petr Pavlensky.

  • Blood Rituals from Art to Murder
    The Sacrificial Aesthetic: Blood Rituals from Art to Murder Dawn Perlmutter Department of Fine Arts Cheyney University of Pennsylvania Cheyney PA 19319-0200 [email protected] [Ed. note 2/2017: Many of the links in this article have become invalid and been removed] The concept of the “sacrificial esthetic” introduced in Eric Gans’s Chronicle No. 184 entitled “Sacrificing Culture” describes a situation in which aesthetic forms remain sacrificial but have evolved from a necessary feature of social organization to a psychological element of the human condition. Gans concludes that art’s sacrificial esthetic is essentially exhausted as a creative force and argues that the future lies with simulations, virtual realities in which the spectator plays a partially interactive role. His most significant claim is that “This end of the ability of the esthetic to discriminate between the sacrificial and the antisacrificial is not the end of art. On the contrary, it liberates the esthetic from the ethical end of justifying sacrifice.” The consequence of the liberation of the ethical justification of sacrifice is the main concern of this essay. Throughout the history of art we have encountered images of blood, from the representations of wounded animals in the cave paintings of Lascaux through century after century of brutal Biblical images, through history paintings depicting scenes of war, up through the many films of war, horror, and violence. Blood is now off the canvas, off the screen and sometimes literally in your face. It is no coincidence that this substance has intrigued artists throughout history. Blood is fascinating; it simultaneously represents purity and impurity, the sacred and the profane, life and death.

  • Bob Flanagan, Sheree Rose and Masochistic Art During the NEA Controversies
    BRING THE PAIN: Bob Flanagan, Sheree Rose and Masochistic Art during the NEA Controversies by LAURA MACDONALD BFA., Concordia University, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT GF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Art History, Visual Art and Theory UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA SEPTEMBER 2005 © Laura MacDonald, 2005 Abstract Poet, performance/installation artist, self-proclaimed "supermasochist" and life-long Cystic Fibrosis sufferer, Bob Flanagan and his partner, dominatrix and fellow artist Sheree Rose created art derived from their personal explorations of sadomasochistic sex acts and relationships. This work used the lens of S/M practice to deal with issues of illness, death, gender and sex. Throughout most of their 15 year collaboration (late 1980- early 1996) Flanagan and Rose lived and worked in relative obscurity, their work being circulated mainly in small subcultural circles. It was during the years of controversies surrounding the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), roughly 1989 to 1997, that Flanagan and Rose experienced unforeseen professional success and fame, propelling them from underground distribution in L.A. to the international art scene. These controversies arose from objections by various rightwing Christian politicians, individuals and groups who felt that the NEA had misused American tax dollars by awarding grants to artists who created and agencies that displayed "obscene" art. Flanagan and Rose were two such artists. This is a case study of the situation of Flanagan and Rose within these controversies, a situation in which there was opportunity, experimentation and heightened awareness despite (or perhaps because of) heated conflicts between opposing sets of ethics, aesthetics and lifestyle.

DEN İZ ÜSTER Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Sabancı University Spring 2007 i © A. Deniz Üster 2007. All Rights Reserved ii WHAT IS OPPOSED TO I A Struggle Towards Purity APPROVED BY: Faculty. Selim Birsel ....................................... (Thesis Advisor) Faculty. Can Candan …………………………. Faculty. Elif Ayiter …………………………. DATE OF APPROVAL: …………………………. iii ABSTRACT WHAT IS OPPOSED TO I A Struggle Towards Purity A. Deniz Üster M.A. in Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design Spring 2007 Thesis Advisor: Selim Birsel Keywords: Body, impurity, abject, transgression of boundaries. The purpose of this thesis is to suggest a reading of my works, which I produced in two years, around the concepts of purity and impurity. In this study, the role of “dirt” is examined in terms of social regulations and bodily disorder. While defining these conceptions, I considered the “transgression of boundaries” as my focal point. Related with this statement, the problematics of how dirt is interconnected with locality and blurs the borderlines; and in what way the body becomes responsible for that irregularity, were analyzed. In this exhibition, the projects I produced assume the body as the primal source of impurity, and by implication, the term abject was evaluated from the point of psychoanalysis. In this way, it will be clearly seen that impurity, in all senses, attacks the totalizing and thus the discriminatory aspect of identity, system and order. By this means, most of my works challenge the constancy of the body's entirety.

  • The Body in Performance a Study Room Guide on Body Based Practices
    The Body in Performance A Study Room Guide on body based practices Compiled by Franko B 2005 LADA Study Room Guides As part of the continuous development of the Study Room we regularly commission artists and thinkers to write personal Study Room Guides on specific themes. The idea is to help navigate Study Room users through the resource, enable them to experience the materials in a new way and highlight materials that they may not have otherwise come across. All Study Room Guides are available to view in our Study Room, or can be viewed and/or downloaded directly from their Study Room catalogue entry. Please note that materials in the Study Room are continually being acquired and updated. For details of related titles acquired since the publication of this Guide search the online Study Room catalogue with relevant keywords and use the advance search function to further search by category and date. Cover image credit: Franko B, I Miss You!, Tate Modern 2003, Photographer Hugo Glendinning The Body Study Room Guide by Franko B (2004/5) Franko B was invited to produce a guide looking at body based practices, including works employing the body as an artistic tool and site of representation. Franko approached the guide by drawing up a list of materials we hold that are important to him, of new materials we are in the process of acquiring and of materials he has generously donated to the Study Room. To accompany his list of recommendations he also conducted an interview with Dominic Johnson discussing his choices, their significance to him and to understandings of the possibilities of Live Art.
