    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.

  • Walid Raad 1/5/21, 143 PM Walid Raad
    Walid Raad 1/5/21, 143 PM Walid Raad Eva Respini, ed. Walid Raad Exh. cat. New York: Museum of Modern Art, 2015. 192 pp.; 200 color ills. Cloth $55.00 (9780870709739) Exhibition schedule: Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, October 12, 2015–January 21, 2016; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, February 24–May 30, 2016; Museo Jumex, Mexico City, October 13, 2016–January 14, 2017 The catalogue accompanying Walid Raadʼs eponymous survey at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a beautiful volume with extensive documentation of the artistʼs oeuvre from the 1990s to today; it will undoubtedly serve as the go-to resource on the artist for years to come. Ironically, it is also colored by a set of historiographic problems that Raad himself vigorously works over in his artistic production. What does it mean that alongside a contribution by the exhibitionʼs curator, Eva Respini, MoMA commissioned a historian of Islamic art, Finbarr Barry Flood, to write the second catalogue essay? What is the significance of the fact that the authorsʼ efforts to address legacies of Conceptual and post-Conceptual art in Raadʼs work—one of the greatest strengths of the exceptional exhibition itself—read like a series of disconnected points on an art-historical map, which do not fully cohere into a larger analytical or historical framework? A sense of uncertainty about just how to inscribe Raad into a canon of modern and contemporary art pervades much of the writing about the artistʼs work. For all the facility with which we habitually critique the museum, considering Walid Raad the catalogue alongside Walid Raad the exhibition had me jotting in my notes: thank God for exhibitions.

Rather, it applies these themes to photographs of living subjects or empty spaces, laying upon each image a blanket of pain, loss, or critical dissatisfaction. Postmodern theorists such as Rosalind Krauss and Geoffrey Batchen root their work in the writings of Roland Barthes, which privilege a photograph’s viewer over its subject or maker. To Barthes’ followers in the 1980s and 1990s, the experiences depicted within the photograph were not as important as our own relationships with it, in the present. The photographers of the Pictures Generation produced groundbreaking imagery that encouraged the viewer to question authority, and even originality itself. Little was said, though, about intimacy, beauty, the actual fact of death, or the author’s individual experience. However, a significant group of American art photographers at the end of the twentieth century began making works directly featuring their own personal experiences with mortality.

  • N. 17 Dicembre 2017/Marzo 2018 a Painting by Hans Haacke
    n. 17 dicembre 2017/marzo 2018 A Painting by Hans Haacke : Dematerializing Labor di Andreas Petrossiants Artistic activity is a mode – a singular form – of labor power . Antonio Negri, 2008 1 To center an essay concerning the more - than - expansive discursive field denoted by «painting», on just one work by Hans Haacke, might at first glance seem misplaced. However, while Haacke’s work was surely instrumental for the shifts in Western artistic pra ctice comprising the «conceptual turn» of the 1960s and the parallel «dematerialization» of the art object, his painting Taking Stock (unfinished) (1983 - 1984 ) not only brings such broad period generalizations into question, but also examines the labor invo lved in producing (the value of) a painting [fig. 1]. Taking Stock (unfinished) , first exhibited at the Tate Gallery in 1984, depicts Margaret Thatcher in the style of Victorian portraiture, encoded with information concerning the careers and art collectio ns of Charles and Doris Saatchi, as well as their ties to Thatcher and her reactionary government. Referring specifically to the medium and style of the work, Haacke remarks that it was produced to cite and critique how Thatcher «expressly promotes Victori an values, nineteenth century conservative policies at the end of the twentieth century». He continues: « Thatcher would like to rule an imperial Britain. The Falklands War was typical of this mentality». 2 This essay proposes to displace and problematize the traditional discourses applied to historicizing conceptual art, and to describe how Haacke employs both physical «painterly» and immaterial conceptual labor to produce a material object. He fosters a str ategy mirroring the changes in the structure and critical position of the (art) worker 1 during the late 1960s.

    SFMOMA Is Photography Over? – Unedited Transcript Day Two, Part Three, Friday, April 23, 2010 Transcriber’s note: Numbers are from transcription program; no time code on audio files. This session is recorded as Part THREE of the audio file that Parts One & Two were on, so numbers on this transcript do not start at zero. The last number on transcript of session one was 02:00:48:00. O’TOOLE: We’ll take the question in the back, back there. 02:01:59:00 AUDIENCE: Yeah. As far as process goes, what do you think of— Cameras now, a lot of digital cameras can shoot video, as well. And that’s new. And then the difference between, like going backwards and you can take old 35mm movies and scan those and make stills. So is it really about the stillness of it that’s a photograph? And about printing, like is that the problem, is that it doesn’t end[?] to print? Because like sometimes I’ll scan film and just put it on the web, but I shot film. So is it the question about the final object, and also about the motion? 02:02:35:00 GALASSI: I think that’s a great question. And my own sense is that there’s a real big difference between still and moving. You know, they both make fabulous things, but they’re very different, even when they’re both photographic. AUDIENCE: But now cameras make— I mean, the high end SLR cameras now do HD video. I mean, they all do little QuickTimes or whatever.

  • Press Release Zurich, 3 February 2017 Hans Haacke Receives The
    Press release Zurich, 3 February 2017 Hans Haacke receives the Roswitha Haftmann Prize Hans Haacke (b. 1936) receives Europe’s best endowed art award, worth CHF 150,000, from the Roswitha Haftmann Foundation. The Board of the Roswitha Haftmann Foundation has decided to award the Roswitha Haftmann Prize to Hans Haacke in recognition of his life’s work. The jury praised his courageous and unflinching commitment over many decades and his ability to foster debate on social issues through provocative art, but also his intellectual brilliance and the formal quality of his works. Hans Haacke was born in Cologne in 1936 and has lived in New York since 1965. He has aroused particular controversy for the political aspects of his work. CONCEPTUAL ART AND LAND ART Haacke studied at the Staatliche Werkakademie, Kassel, from 1956 to 1960. His early works already revolved around systems and processes and analysed their workings – and failures. The young artist presented interactions between physical and biological systems, animals, plants and states of water and wind; he also made forays into land art. From 1970 onwards, he increasingly turned his attention to political developments and the mechanisms of manipula- tion – of opinions, sensibilities and historical facts. MARKET, POLITICS, MORALITY The abrupt cancellation of his exhibition at New York’s Guggenheim Museum in 1971, which was to include his ‘Shapolsky et al. Manhattan Real Estate Holdings, A Real Time Social System, as of May 1, 1971’, on property ownership and speculation, led to a heated debate on the politics of conceptual art. In Cologne in 1974 he put forward a provocative project on the provenance of a still life by Edouard Manet purchased for the Wallraf Richartz Museum on the initiative of the then chairman of its patron association Hermann Josef Abs, and turned the spotlight on his role in the Third Reich.
