  • Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen
    Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen: Theory and Practice, Aesthetics and Politics, 1963-1983 Nicolas Helm-Grovas Royal Holloway, University of London PhD, Media Arts 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Nicolas Helm-Grovas, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 15 January, 2018 2 Abstract This PhD is a genealogy and critical examination of the writings and films of Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen, spanning the period from the early 1960s to 1980s. Despite the prominence of their texts, there has not been a book-length study of either body of writing, nor an overview of their overlap and mutual influence, in what was their most productive period. Nor has there been an extended account of the important connection between their theory and their practice as filmmakers. My thesis undertakes these tasks. I interpret and challenge existing scholarship, while simultaneously examining in detail for the first time lesser-known works, drawing on archives and interviews. Through close readings I elucidate Mulvey’s interrogation of the patriarchal fantasies structuring cinematic and artistic forms and her feminist appropriation of classical Hollywood melodrama; I map the related issues Wollen’s texts activate, of cinematic signification and materialism, the buried potentialities of the historical avant-gardes, and their connection to the avant-garde film contemporaneous with his writings. Their moving image works, I demonstrate through detailed analyses, bring these ideas into dialogue and work them through in a more open, exploratory vein. I trace key notions like ‘counter cinema’ across films and writings by both authors.

  • Documenta (13) Facts and Rumors
    dOCUMENTA (13) Facts and Rumors 1. Initiated by arts educator and designer Arnold Bode, the first edition of documenta opened in Kassel on July 16, 1955 and ran through September 18 of that year. 2. documenta means “lessons” in Latin (nominative plural of documentum). Latin is considered a “dead language” today. However, at the Vatican City it is used as the official language for all communications. [“documenta.Nominative plural of Latin documentum: lesson, example, warning; medieval Latin: instruction, official paper. (...) Documentum comes from 1) Lat. docere: to teach, instruct, inform, also to show and to tell; 2) Lat. mens: the intellectual faculties, the mind, understand, and also used figuratively as the soul or spirit of something. ‘The chief aim of the venture (documenta) was to instruct people’s minds (docere mentis),’ in the words of Ernst Schuh, Arnold Bode's assistant at the first documenta.”] 3. Every 1,726 days, documenta takes place for 100 days. 4. 100 is a symbolic number for documenta: Arnold Bode called it “The Museum of 100 Days”; Joseph Beuys produced his “100 Day Office for Direct Democracy” for documenta 5 (1972) and Harald Szeemann called it “a 100-day event”; Catherine David organized “100 Days 100 Guests” for documenta X (1997), and dOCUMENTA (13) will publish “100 Notes – 100 Thoughts.” 5. The number of documenta visitors has constantly increased: from 130,000 in 1955 to 754,301 in 2007. We do not know if they know it, or if it really matters. 6. Victor Vasarely, who participated in documenta 3 (1964) and died in 1997, claimed he was born in 1705.

Organized by SFMOMA Curator of Media Arts Rudolf Frieling, this large thematic presentation gathers more than 70 works by some 50 individual artists and collectives, and will feature projects both on-site and online, as well as several new pieces commissioned specifically for the exhibition. From early performance-based and conceptual art to online works rooted in the multiuser dynamics of Web 2.0 platforms, The Art of Participation reflects on the confluence of audience interaction, utopian Erwin Wurm, One Minute Sculptures politics, and mass media, and reclaims the museum as a space for two- (detail), 1997; photo: Kuzuyuki Matsumoto; © 2008 Artists Rights Society way exchange between artists and viewers.

  • Fit to Print May 1 – June 30, 2021
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 20, 2021 CONTACT: Mikaela Hawk, [email protected] Fit to Print May 1 – June 30, 2021 PHILADELPHIA, PA – (April 20, 2021) The Print Center is pleased to present Fit to Print, an online exhibition which explores the use of newspapers in art from the post-war era to the present day. It addresses how artists work with the medium of newsprint as a nexus where the studio, everyday life and current events perennially merge and collide. This exploration is particularly timely in an age when truth in news is fractured and suspect, due to the proliferation of sensationalist stories pitted against traditional sources of journalism. Fit to Print features Lisa Blas, Jennifer Bolande, Chryssa, Laura Fields, Jef Geys, Beatriz González, Helena Hernmarck, Rita Maas, Dan Perjovschi, Donna Ruff, Soledad Salamé and Paul Thek. The works of these twelve modern and contemporary artists reveal slippages between everyday life and what is depicted and recounted on the printed, published page. In this exhibition, they present visual spaces of rupture as sites for re-inscription, socio-political critique and material transformation. In each artwork, image and language oscillate, stretching notions of time and triggering memories. The urgency and implications of our engagement with the news is highlighted, asking viewers, “What do you read, what do you retain, what do you share?” Lisa Blas, First(s), Monday’s image, v. 2, Fit to Print is inspired by the legacy of artists who have harnessed the 2021, dye sublimation print, 40” x 32”.

  • (Veneklasen/Werner) Is Pleased to Present Shakers & Movers, a Group Exhibition, Curated by Birte Kleemann, Which Explores
    VW (VeneKlasen/Werner) is pleased to present Shakers & Movers, a group exhibition, curated by Birte Kleemann, which explores performance art and actions within the context of the political situation in Germany during the 1960s and 1970s. Shakers & Movers includes works by Mary Bauermeister, Joseph Beuys, Sylvano Bussotti, James Lee Byars, John Cage, VALIE EXPORT, Jürgen Klauke, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Ulay. The post-World War II period saw the development of new approaches to artistic expression and political activism. The new generation of artists emerging in West Germany experimented with performance and collaboration and incorporated media from beyond the traditional boundaries of studio practice, such as sound and film. One consequence of this new approach was an increasing awareness of the body as a tool both for expression and criticism within the public realm. A new identity of the artist is asserted in which the self is measured in the interaction with the other, both mirroring and questioning societal norms. Within the context of social and political developments in the young democratic Germany, and against the backdrop of a lingering Cold War, the exploration of new territories in art, literature, theater and music are a form of Brechtian catharsis.Shakers & Movers presents a brief and selected history of the performances and actions triggered by renewed social awareness in an era of lost innocence. Shakers & Movers takes as its starting point the beginnings of the Fluxus movement and the multimedia “happenings” created at Mary Bauermeister’s studio, the most important of these being the Originale, composed by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

  • Merz-Thinking – Sounding the Documenta Process Between Critique and Spectacle
    011 Issue # 09/11 : Curating Critique compiled by the MERZ-THINKING – SOUNDING THE DOCUMENTA editors 01 PROCESS BETWEEN CRITIQUE AND SPECTACLE Bazon Brock created a ‘visitors school’ SARAT MAHARAJ for Documenta 4, 1968 02 Bazon Brock Lustmarsch durchs Theoriegelände, Haus der Kunst, An edited version of a lecture for the 50-year anniversary of Documenta Munich, July 2006 (Kassel-Hofgeismar. 27 October 2005) 03 Joseph Beuys’ My talk is made up of a series of appreciative if querying annotations on what I call the Hundred Day Office for Direct Documenta Process: an umbrella term I am using to cover the past eleven Documenta Democracy, curatorial events across 50 years (1955-2005) onwards to the next. It does not mean that Documenta 5, 1972 I am simply lumping them together. To refer to them as a constellation is little better. 04 It implies I have joined them up and configured them with a pre-given idea in mind. My Joseph Beuys’ lecture at the focus, however, is on the fact that each Documenta is a singularity; each is a one-off Ulster museum on affair with its own distinct stamp.
