  • Marcel Duchamp / Andy Warhol.’ the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
    CULTURE MACHINE REVIEWS • SEPTEMBER 2010 ‘TWISTED PAIR: MARCEL DUCHAMP / ANDY WARHOL.’ THE ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA. 23 MAY-12 SEPTEMBER 2010. Victor P. Corona Had he survived a routine surgical procedure, Andy Warhol would have turned eighty-two years old on August 6, 2010. To commemorate his birthday, the playwright Robert Heide and the artists Neke Carson and Hoop organized a party at the Gershwin Hotel in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. Guests in attendance included Superstars Taylor Mead and Ivy Nicholson and other Warhol associates. The event was also intended to celebrate the ‘Andy Warhol: The Last Decade’ exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum and the re-release of The Autobiography and Sex Life of Andy Warhol (Wilcock, 2010). Speaking with some of the Pop artist’s collaborators at the ‘Summer of Andy’ party served as an excellent prelude to my visit to an exhibition that traced Warhol’s aesthetic links to one of his greatest sources of inspiration, Marcel Duchamp. The resonances evident at the Warhol Museum’s fantastic ‘Twisted Pair’ show are not trivial: Warhol himself owned over thirty works by Duchamp. Among his collection is a copy of the Fountain urinal, which Warhol acquired by trading away three of his portraits (Wrbican, 2010: 3). The party at the Gershwin and the ‘Twisted Pair’ show also provided a fresh opportunity to explore the ongoing fascination with Warhol’s art as well as contemporary works that deal with the central themes that preoccupied him for much of his career. Since the relationship between the Dada movement and Pop artists has been intensely debated by others (e.g., Kelly, 1964; Madoff, 1997), this essay will instead focus on how Warhol’s art continues to nurture experimentation in the work of artists active today.

    school talent speaks italian everywhere. In London as in New York, in Beijing as in Mumbai, the term ‘fashion-design’, together with ‘cuisine’, to tell you the truth, is synonymous with Italian style. The label ‘Made in Italy’ lends a certain glamour to or implies a certain value in any design, encompassing as it does a variety of products, styles, workmanship and details that are transposable and, in many cases, across sectors and disciplines. Unlike Istituto Marangoni, for those who do not work in the interlinked fields of fashion and design, there could be some doubt regarding their identification as a united historical-cultural front, one that is distinctive, national and composed of functionality, experimentation, entrepreneurial genius and craftsmanship: the Italian genius loci. Yet it is precisely this bridge, the project as a creative expression and its manage- ment as a business model, which has been the basis of the successful teaching methodology at Istituto Marangoni for almost 80 years: the school recognizes the pe- dagogic importance of teaching this combined special mix of ‘project + management’ and it was with this mix that a new distinctive, unique, personal and decidedly Italian educational model was born in 1935 in Milano. Since then, Istituto Marangoni has never ceased to believe in the value of proper training, constantly updating its programmes and courses, which strictly adhere to the evolving market and cultural trends in fashion, to be able to respond to the specific needs of a sector which is often overlooked in public education. Istituto Marangoni fashion schools in Milano, London, Paris and Shanghai have enhanced the talents of four generations of professionals; almost 40,000 individuals worldwide.

Signature______________________________________________________________ ii Abstract Lady Gaga’s rise to stardom in 2008 surprised many individuals who foresaw the quick demise of the singer-songwriter's career due to her controversial lyrics, performances, and fashion attire. Known for her shock value aesthetic, Gaga’s approach to fame included explicit female sexuality, a chameleon persona, and an effervescent embracement of one’s Otherness. This paper explores how Lady Gaga has manufactured her success. By adopting the traits of a performance artist and appropriating key strategies from art history, she reflects the work and personae of several modern and postmodern artists, including Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dali. Through spectacle, fame, and performance, she embodies the postmodern Other and lobbies for a new generation of post-gendered individuals, free from discrimination and disenfranchisement.

  • 22 Barbie in a Meat Dress: Performance and Mediatization in the 21St Century
    Philip Auslander 22 Barbie in a meat dress: performance and mediatization in the 21st century Abstract: Although mediatization is a permanent condition of modern societies the particular forms it takes on are historically contingent. The processes of mediatiza- tion derive from the workings of the culturally dominant media forms of a particu- lar time. Over two decades ago, I felt comfortable in positing the televisual, defined in terms of Raymond Williams’s concept of flow, as central to mediatized culture. This is no longer the case, as the televisual has clearly yielded sway to the digital in all its forms. In seeking to understand the implications of this transition for performers navigating this new cultural terrain I focus on two currently successful pop music artists, Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga. Whereas the performers I chose as my original examples, performance artists Spalding Gray and Laurie Anderson, each developed a single, largely consistent persona that proved adaptable to differ- ent media and cultural contexts, both Minaj and Gaga create multiple personae that morph with astounding velocity. Gaga, in particular, takes this strategy so far that she seems to have no stable performance persona or brand image at all. Her constantly changing appearance and image suggests instead the urgency and fre- quency with which we must adjust our self-presentations to the multiple platforms on which we continuously perform them. Keywords: Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Raymond Williams, flow, mash-up, multi-self- ing, persona, character, on demand, JIT (just in time) In the late 1980s, I took up the question of how performers were negotiating a postmodern cultural environment in which a number of previously established givens, such as the dichotomies between art and commerce, high and low culture, artist and entertainer, live and recorded performance, artistic integrity and “selling out” could no longer be taken for granted.
