Avantgarden Und Politik
Im Rausch der Revolution: Kunst und Politik bei André Masson und den surrealistischen Gruppierungen Contre-Attaque und Acéphale STEPHAN MOEBIUS Wirft man einen Blick auf die Debatten um die historische Avantgarde- bewegung des Surrealismus, so fällt auf, dass deren politisches Engage- ment1 in der Avantgardeforschung, in Ausstellungen und in der Kunst- geschichte allgemein auf spezifische und mehrere Weisen »gezähmt«2 wird: Entweder werden die politischen Aktivitäten der Surrealisten auf eine antibürgerliche Haltung reduziert oder sie werden als eine kurzzei- tige, von der »wahren« ästhetischen Praxis und den Kunstwerken der Surrealisten völlig abtrennbare Verirrung3 dargestellt. In manchen Inter- pretationen wirft man ihnen sogar vor, mit totalitären Systemen ver- wandt zu sein oder diese vorbereitet zu haben (Dröge/Müller 1995; Klinger 2004: 218). Im letzteren Fall gilt der (meist vor dem Hinter- grund der Totalitarismustheorie argumentierende) pauschale Vorwurf 1 Siehe dazu beispielsweise die Tractes surréalistes et déclarations collecti- ves 1922-1939 (Pierre 1980), Nadeau (1986), Short (1969) sowie Lewis (1988) und Spiteri/LaCoss (2003). 2 Vgl. Breuer (1997). Auch die Düsseldorfer Ausstellung (Spies 2002) über den Surrealismus machte eine Trennung zwischen Bildern und Manifes- ten, sie zähmte den Surrealismus und setzte die Bilder kaum in Beziehung zu den politischen Manifesten, Zeitschriften und Texten (vgl. Bürger 2002). 3 Vgl. Vailland (1948), Greenberg (1986), Alfred Barr (1936), William Ru- bin (1968). 89 STEPHAN MOEBIUS einer Geistesverwandtschaft mit dem Faschismus oder dem Stalinismus den gesamten historischen Avantgardebewegungen, ohne dass in den meisten Fällen im Einzelnen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Protago- nisten bzw. zwischen Surrealismus, Dadaismus, Bauhaus und dem fa- schistischen Futurismus unterschieden wird. Die Futuristen sind in der Tat kriegslüsterne Patrioten und spätere Parteigänger des italienischen Faschismus. -

The Artwork Caught by the Tail*
The Artwork Caught by the Tail* GEORGE BAKER If it were married to logic, art would be living in incest, engulfing, swallowing its own tail. —Tristan Tzara, Manifeste Dada 1918 The only word that is not ephemeral is the word death. To death, to death, to death. The only thing that doesn’t die is money, it just leaves on trips. —Francis Picabia, Manifeste Cannibale Dada, 1920 Je m’appelle Dada He is staring at us, smiling, his face emerging like an exclamation point from the gap separating his first from his last name. “Francis Picabia,” he writes, and the letters are blunt and childish, projecting gaudily off the canvas with the stiff pride of an advertisement, or the incontinence of a finger painting. (The shriek of the commodity and the babble of the infant: Dada always heard these sounds as one and the same.) And so here is Picabia. He is staring at us, smiling, a face with- out a body, or rather, a face that has lost its body, a portrait of the artist under the knife. Decimated. Decapitated. But not quite acephalic, to use a Bataillean term: rather the reverse. Here we don’t have the body without a head, but heads without bodies, for there is more than one. Picabia may be the only face that meets our gaze, but there is also Metzinger, at the top and to the right. And there, just below * This essay was written in the fall of 1999 to serve as a catalog essay for the exhibition Worthless (Invaluable): The Concept of Value in Contemporary Art, curated by Carlos Basualdo at the Moderna Galerija Ljubljana, Slovenia. -

Gender Performance in Portrait Photography: Unmasking Claude Cahun
Gender Performance in Portrait Photography: Unmasking Claude Cahun Shannon Moriarty Moriarty 2 Abstract This thesis examines the French artist Claude Cahun. During the early twentieth century, Cahun, working in collaboration with their partner, Marcel Moore, used photography to capture exaggerated gender performances. By visually analyzing the couple’s photographs and comparing such work to images of normative gender in interwar Paris, such as la femme moderne and the Surrealist muse, I analyze how Cahun launched a multi-layered attack against the role of the traditional “feminine” subject. Considering the feminist frameworks that were previously used to research Cahun’s photographs, this thesis pivots from such discussions to argue that Cahun’s and Moore’s gender is better understood as “neuter” and therefore expressing a gaze that is inherently queer. Through these dramatic subversions, Cahun and Moore’s work remains vitally relevant to contemporary feminist and queer theory and the critique of normative gender. Moriarty 3 Introduction Sitting in a chair is a person with close-cropped hair and a split fringe with feminine inward curls. They are adorned with painted hearts on their cheeks, eye shadow decorating each eyelid to the brow, and dark rouge-tinted lips that pucker coyly towards the viewer. Their tilted gaze is direct, demanding attention. The person wears the theatrical attire of a strongman at a circus performance, the accompanying dumbbell rests securely on their lap. The weights are highly phallic, a masculine symbol of strength. This hypermasculine performance of a strongman is distorted by the added elements of femininity, such as the exaggerated makeup, the ornamental comic characters Totor and Popol painted on the dumbbell, and the recurring symbols of hearts and lips. -
