Help a Sculpture and Other Abfunctional Potentials Help a Sculpture and other abfunctional potentials Simone Ann Slee ORCiD: 0000-0001-9239-3371 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (by creative work and dissertation) August 2016 Faculty of the VCA and MCM University of Melbourne Abstract This practice-led research investigates the relationship between sculpture and concepts of function in contemporary art. Since the Enlightenment, art and function have commonly been understood as mutually exclusive concepts. Associated with everyday life, function is considered outside the sphere of art, where the art object is predominantly positioned as “functionless” and hence “autonomous” from the everyday prerequisites of living. In the instances where art has incorporated function, this has frequently been framed in terms of dysfunction, “dissolving art into life,” or as an alternative strategy in the “dematerialisation of the art object.” Yet, a neologism that emerged from my own art practice – “abfunction,” meaning to move away from function – implies that function is implicit within art itself, suggesting that the neat separation between art and function is not so clear cut. This thesis, includes the artwork produced for the Help a Sculpture exhibition at the Margaret Lawrence Gallery, VCA in July 2016 and the written dissertation. The project asks: in what ways can the neologism abfunction reveal and divert the role of function within the production and end-effect of the contemporary artwork? Three bodies of artworks were produced for the project and have been used as case studies within the written dissertation. They are: How long (2008-ongoing), Houses that are happy to help with at least one of the possible problems of art (2010-ongoing) and the Hold UP series (2013-ongoing). These artworks comprise: video, photographic installations, photo-sculptures and sculptural assemblies. The written dissertation establishes a foundation for abfunction within contemporary art. Part I seeks to define “function” that abfunction maybe moving away from within the artwork. Given art is considered to be functionless, concepts of function are investigated by Aristotle, early modernist architectural discourse, and those involved in function theory, such as Beth Preston and Ruth Millikan. It is proposed that function can be understood from two points of view. I have termed this as, “use-ready” function (what something is for), and function as “forming” of an object or thing (summarised by the adage: “form follows function”). Part II of the written thesis investigates how these two roles of function occur within art. The Russian and Polish avant-garde from the 1920s to the mid-1930s, provides an uncharacteristic example of artists and theorists activating the role of function in art. Discussed in this written component of the thesis, are artworks and theories from the Russian Constructivists and Productivists, including artists Alexandr Rodchenko, and Karl Ioganson and theorist Boris Arvatov, in addition to the Polish Unists: sculptor Katarzyna Kobro and her husband, painter Władysław Strzemiński. Part III applies the understanding of the role of function in the artwork to investigate how abfunction both reveals and departs from function in the artwork case studies produced for the project. Abfunction represents a significant opportunity for a more complex understanding of how function might operate with the artwork. Its meaning in relation to art is not encompassed by existing terms of function including, functionless, dysfunction, malfunction and the lesser known term para-functional. Moreover, in describing a deviation away from the end expectations of function, abfunction also acknowledges the alternative materialisation of objects and things produced through this method which the terminology associated with the “dematerialised” object fails to do. This research project draws to a conclusion with the argument that abfunction offers a new insight into processes within the production of art. Revelatory in its reveal of the pervasive role of function that it generatively departs from, abfunction accounts for the alternative unimagined outcomes produced in art beyond the teleological grip of function. Declaration This is to certify that: I. this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Doctor of Philosophy except where indicated in the preface II. due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used III. The thesis is 85,000 words exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies, footnotes and appendices. IV. Signature: Preface Two artworks prior to the project were the catalyst for this project. These are the On body- suit work (2002–03) (Fig. 17) and Help a Sculpture (2005-2008) (Fig. 18), which shares its name with this project. They are discussed within the written thesis. On is an artwork comprising a series of white vinyl jackets, with a hole in the centre that exposed the wearers’ abdominal regions and belly button. This artwork has had multiple iterations over the last fourteen years. It has included installations, live performances, posters and social media sites. Help a Sculpture is a performance artwork where a goldfish helps a sculpture stand for a period of time. The artwork consisted of a range of elements: a circular cardboard ring sculpture covered with mirror foil; eight goldfish in an aquarium propped up on a celeriac; two vertically standing fluorescent lights; a collection of aquarium-type paraphernalia; a provisional work-jacket and a timer and myself as the artist who enacts the performance. I would like to acknowledge and thank Dr Hilary Maddocks for copy-editing my thesis who is knowledgeable in the academic discipline of the thesis This project was supported by an Australian Postgraduate Award and an Anthony Ganim Postgraduate Award. Images of my artwork in this thesis are courtesy of myself and Sarah Scout Presents, Melbourne.

Both a highly competent lithographer and a pioneer in the application of modernist principles to letterpress typography, Lissitzky advocated for works of art issued in “thousands of identical originals” even before the avant-garde embraced photography and film.

  • Constructivism (Art) 1 Constructivism (Art)
    Constructivism (art) 1 Constructivism (art) Constructivism was an artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia beginning 1919, which was a rejection of the idea of autonomous art in favour of art as a practice for social purposes. Constructivism as an active philosophy lasted until about 1934, greatly effecting the art of the Weimar Republic and elsewhere, before being replaced by Socialist Realism. Some of its motifs have been reused sporadically since. Beginnings The term Construction Art was first used as a derisive term by Kazimir Malevich to describe the work of Alexander Rodchenko during 1917. Constructivism first appears as a positive term in Naum Gabo's Realistic Manifesto of 1920. Alexei Gan used the word as the title of his book Constructivism, which was printed during 1922.[1] Constructivism was a post-World War I development of Russian Futurism, and particularly of the 'corner-counter reliefs' of Vladimir Tatlin, which had been exhibited during 1915. The term itself would be invented by the sculptors Antoine Pevsner and Naum Photograph of the first Constructivist Exhibition, 1921 Gabo, who developed an industrial, angular style of work, while its geometric abstraction owed something to the Suprematism of Kasimir Malevich. The teaching basis for the new ohilosophy was established by The Commissariat of Enlightenment (or Narkompros) the Bolshevik government's cultural and educational ministry directed by Anatoliy Vasilievich Lunacharsky who suppressed the old Petrograd Academy of Fine Arts and the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture during 1918. IZO, the Commissariat's artistic bureau, was managed during the Russian Civil War mainly by Futurists, who published the journal Art of the Commune.

And then my father died and the remainder of what little time I had left to process my intellectual debt went to thinking of him and the last months of his life. Sadly, he did not approve of my efforts to rehabilitate Marxism and I kept the specifics of my dissertation from him. Like many from the former Soviet Bloc, he equated Marxism with his negative experiences in the U.S.S.R. and felt that it failed people. In the end, capitalism was not kind to him either. As I slowly recover from the series of setbacks of 2016, I am able to process the influences that have touched my life.
