Anna C. Chave Date Chair of Examining Committee Kevin Murphy Date Executive Officer Mona Hadler Claire Bishop Julie Nelson Davis Supervisory Committee THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii Abstract YAYOI KUSAMA: BIOGRAPHY AND CULTURAL CONFRONTATION, 1945-1969 by Midori Yamamura Adviser: Professor Anna C. Chave Yayoi Kusama (b.1929) was among the first Japanese artists to rise to international prominence after World War II. She emerged when wartime modern nation-state formations and national identity in the former Axis Alliance countries quickly lost ground to U.S.-led Allied control, enforcing a U.S.-centered model of democracy and capitalism. As a result, the art world became increasingly internationalized. This interdisciplinary study is the first attempt to comparatively examine postwar artistic developments in Japan, the United States, and Europe, through a focus on Kusama. I consider Kusama not so much in terms that seek to aggrandize the uniqueness of the individual, but that assess her entry into and position within an historical sequence, namely the radical changes which took place after the war. Mine is a material investigation, which addresses how personal and cultural memories may be embedded in objects. By examining her breakthrough work against the backdrop of her milieu, this feminist study will illuminate particular issues Kusama might have encountered in society and analyze how her experiences uniquely shaped her practice. I will also analyze works by Kusama’s peers that help to illuminate the scope and nature of the problems that she encountered. Growing up under Japan’s militaristic totalitarian regime, Kusama embraced art as a non-conformist pursuit. Her defiance of fanatic chauvinism propelled her, iv after the war, to seek a career overseas. She arrived in 1958 in New York, where a burgeoning cosmopolitanism contributed to her initial success with five nearly identical white Net paintings. Beginning in 1960, the artists affiliated with the German Zero group invited Kusama to exhibit in Europe. By 1962, she had shown with the future Pop and Minimal artists in New York. As New York’s art market became more firmly established, however, multiculturalism tended to become less embraced there. By 1966, this drove Kusama to drop out of the commercial art world. She began creating politically charged site-specific installations and Happenings where the theme of liberatory sexuality was key. But around 1969, as the gallery-money-power-structure became an unchallengeable fact, she ceased her activity in New York. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation emerged out of a seminar paper that I produced for my dissertation adviser, Professor Anna C. Chave, at the CUNY Graduate Center. Ever since, my work has developed in dialogue with her teaching, research, and writing. Throughout writing this dissertation, she has been the most critically perceptive reader of my work. At the same time, she was extremely patient with my progress, encouraged my original thinking, and was unwaveringly supportive of this project. Without Professor Chave, my dissertation would never have taken shape. My foremost gratitude for this study goes to her. I am equally indebted to the artist Yayoi Kusama and the staff of Kusama Yayoi Studio for allowing me an unprecedented access to her personal archives, which opened my eyes to a whole host of issues that had been buried in received histories. History is in part a process of editing and post-1945 art history has been centered mostly on white, male, and US-born or based artists. This project would have never occurred if Akie Terai, my mother, who grew up in Kusama’s hometown, did not send me the Japanese version of Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama. Based on Kusama’s biography, I researched her career in New York and noticed that she was quite central to the 1960s New York art scene, yet never enjoyed the same recognition as her male counterparts. This made me question a system that would diminish women artists of color, which became an initial motivation for this feminist study. I am very grateful to my mother for calling my attention to Kusama and for her limitless help while I did research for my dissertation vi in Matsumoto. Because Kusama’s own narrative of the role of mental illness in her practice has posed limits to the interpretation of her work, I began developing an alternative approach without, however, losing sight of the complexities of artist’s experience and psychology. I undertook to critically examine Kusama’s biography. And it was Reiko Tomii, the Senior Research Associate for Kusama’s 1989 retrospective, who coined the term, “critical biography” for my method. Dr. Tomii has been selfless, sharing her research and her ideas with me, and advising me on Kusama-related archives. Without her expertise, my work would have been limited. Dr. Tomii deserves my most sincere gratitude. She also invited me to contribute an essay from my research to a Japan Society exhibition catalogue, Making A Home. This helped me grow as a writer. During the course of writing this dissertation, I have benefited from the support of a great number of individuals. I thank profusely my dissertation committee members, Professors Claire Bishop, Julie Nelson Davis, and Mona Hadler. I would also like to thank those individuals who read and offered valuable comments on this dissertation at various stages of its evolution, or shared their works and insights: Valerie Allen, Jerome Feldman, Sujatha Fernandes, Yuko Fujii, Kathleen Friello, Jen Gieseking, Amelia Goerlitz, Franck Gautherot, Jaap Guldemond, David Harvey, Peter Hitchcock, Hiroko Ikegami, Azusa Kaburagi, Jennifer Katanic, Jonathan Katz, Laura Katzmann, Joe Ketner, Seungduk Kim, Pascale Montadert, Juliet Mitchell, Louise Neri, Mignon Nixon, Franklin Odo, Joan Pachner, Ruth Anne Philips, Theodore Powers, Anna Salamone, Karen Shelby, Judith Stein, Margaret Stenz, Molleen Theodore, Jennifer Tobias, Barbera van Kooij, Harriet Walker, Carl Watson, Kathy vii Wentrack, Michael Wenyon, Hyewon Yi, and Midori Yoshimoto.

It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice.

  • Ii. Dialogue Program
    II. DIALOGUE PROGRAM Introduction Through its Dialogue Program, PASSIA has ever since its foundation striven both to promote free expression within Palestinian society and to foster a better understanding of Palestinian affairs, be they in the domestic or international context. In doing so, PASSIA has earned a reputation for providing a unique forum for dialogue and exchange and for serving as a catalyst for civic debate. Central to these efforts has been the presentation and analysis of a plurality of Palestinian perspectives and approaches. Topics addressed and discussed cover a wide range of subjects broadly and specifically related to the Palestine Question, from historical aspects to the current Middle East Peace Process and internal Palestinian affairs. The PASSIA Dialogue Program is divided into the following three sections: Roundtable Meetings: PASSIA invites a speaker (and sometimes a discussant as well) to lecture on a certain topic, followed by a discussion with the audience present. Particularly topical issues are sometimes the subject of a series of lectures by as varied a range of speakers as possible. These meetings aim to promote thought and debate among Palestinians and between Palestinians and their foreign counterparts. Briefings: PASSIA frequently provides a venue for encounters, dialogue and discussions involving representatives and organizations from various backgrounds. These meetings focus on current Palestinian affairs and are designed to build bridges of communication and understanding between Palestinians from different streams of society and to develop constructive and focused academic contact between Palestinians and Israelis. PASSIA has also hosted numerous meetings in which resident diplomats and visiting foreign missions are invited to discuss Palestinian affairs and exchange thoughts and opinions concerning the situation in the Palestinian Territories.

I know the sun's out, the caterpillars and things coming out soon; but talking about the art scene, I have been reading a very interesting thing that was sent to me, once again, by Wesley Wehrÿ-- the talk that Henry Geldzahler gave to Yale, I think almost a year ago, about what he felt about the state of the New York scene, and the scene of art, generally speaking in the world. He said some very cogent things all through it, things that I think probably will apply for quite a long time, particularly to those people and a lot of young people who are so interested in the arts. Do you want to see that? MK: Sure. [Break in tape] MK: Go ahead.

  • Electronic Zen
    ELECTRONIC ZEN: The Alternate Video Generation By Jud Yalkut Copyright, 1984, Jud Yalkut. "The light-flower of heaven and earth fills all the thousand spaces. But also the light-flower of the individual body passes through heaven and covers the earth. Therefore, as soon as the light is circulating, heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, are all circulating with it at the same time. To concentrate the seed-flower of the human body above in the eyes, that is the great key of the human body." - THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER. "Zen Meditation is purely a subjective experience completed by a concentration which holds the inner mind calm, pure and serene. And yet Zen meditation produces a special psychological state based on the changes in the electroencephalogram. Therefore, Zen meditation influences not only the psychic life but also the physiology of the brain." - AKIRA KASAMATSU AND TOMIO HIRAI ("An Electroen- cephalographic Study on the Zen Meditation (Zazen)") in ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS (Charles Tart, editor). "We are not yet aware that telepathy is conveyed through the resonance factors of the mind... The electromagnetic vibration of the head might lead the way to Electronic Zen." - NAM JUNE PAIK. ELECTRONIC ZEN: THE ALTERNATE VIDEO GENERATION PREFACE Although the medium of television has existed in the American home since the post-war period, it has only been since the advent of portable video recorders in the late sixties that a meaningful dissemination of electronics communication technology has permitted the two-way interf low of information and vision exchange. This predominantly half-inch video technology engendered the emergence of alternate video innovators who have gradually mastered the parameters and circuitry of equipment woefully unstable as com pared to the hardware used daily by the vast television broadcasting networks.
