Madonna. Like an Icon Buch LUCY O’BRIEN Madonna. Like an Icon Buch Madonna Ciccone ist die bestverdienende Sängerin aller Zeiten. Sie ist eine der berühmtesten lebenden Pop-Ikonen, wahrschein- lich sogar die bekannteste Frau auf der Welt. Wie kaum eine an- dere Künstlerin prägte Madonna die Popkultur des 20. Jahrhun- derts. Seit über 25 Jahren ist sie eine der meistfotografierten und meistdiskutierten Frauen der Welt. Lucy O’Brien beleuchtet in ihrer ausführlich recherchierten Biographie die faszinierende Lebensgeschichte dieser einzigartigen Künstlerin. Sie hinterfragt bestehende Klischees, analysiert ihre Musik und führt aufschluss- reiche Interviews mit Musikern und Produzenten, die mit Ma- donna gearbeitet und sich noch nie so offen zu ihr geäußert ha- ben. O’Brien zeigt, wie sehr Madonna unsere Kultur beeinflusst hat und in welchem Maße sie Tanz, Film, visuelle Kunst, The- ater und Fotografie einsetzt. Außerdem erfahren wir, wie und vor allen Dingen warum Madonna sich immer wieder neu erfin- det. Zudem führte O’Brien Interviews mit Künstlerinnen wie Tori Amos, Laurie Anderson, Jeanette Winterson und Tracey Emin, um den kulturellen Kontext sichtbar zu machen, in dem Madon- na wurde, was sie ist. »Madonna. Like an Icon« ist ganz einfach die definitive Madonna-Biographie. Autorin Lucy O’Brien schreibt seit den frühen 80er-Jahren über Musik, Feminismus und Popkultur. Bevor sie für verschiedene Magazine und Zeitschriften wie »NME«, »Sunday Times«, »Marie Claire« und »The Guardian« schrieb, spielte sie in einer Punkband. Sie hat bereits erfolgreiche Biographien über Dusty Springfield und Annie Lennox verfasst sowie eine preisgekrönte Geschichte der Frauen in Rock, Pop und Soul. Lucy O’Brien lehrt Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft am Londoner Goldsmith’s Col- lege und an der Westminster University und lebt mit ihrem Mann, einem Musiker, und ihren zwei Kindern in London.

Ein Riesen- dank geht an meinen Rechercheur Rob Diament (Leadsänger und Songwriter der Band Temposhark und Besitzer eines ein- drucksvollen Madonna-Archivs). Wann immer es schwierig wurde, haben mich seine Intelligenz und sein Enthusiasmus inspiriert. Dank auch an meine Agentin Jane Turnbull sowie an meine Lektoren und Lektorinnen Doug Young und Sarah Ems- ley von Bantam Press und Mauro DiPreta von HarperCollins US für ihre Unterstützung und ihren Glauben an dieses Buch. Ein weiterer Dank geht an Robert Sabella für seine Hilfe und sein Fachwissen. Als Nächstes danke ich meinen Interviewpartnern, die aus- nahmslos alle so großzügig waren, mir ihre Zeit zu opfern und mit mir ihre Erinnerungen auszutauschen. Was mich dabei überraschte, war die erstaunliche Kraft der Kreativität und der Energie von so vielen Menschen, die Madonna gekannt und mit ihr gearbeitet haben. Die Fülle des Materials, das ich auf diese Weise erhielt, war so überwältigend, dass nicht alles in dieses Buch einfließen konnte. Im Einzelnen geht mein Dank an: Edward Acker, Lorenzo Agius, Tori Amos, Nancy Andersen, Camille Barbone, Andre Betts, Jimmy Bralower, Ginger Canzo- neri, Louise Carolin, Ingrid Chavez, Gardner Cole, Pablo Cook, Wendy Cooling, Marie Cooper, Wyn Cooper, Andrae Crouch, 9 Kevin Cummins, Marius De Vries, Bill DeYoung, Kim Drayton, Johnny Dynell, Andy Earle, Julia Eccleshare, Brigitte Echols, Ul- rich Edel, Deborah Feingold, James Foley, Geoff Foster, Randy Frank, Bruce Gaitsch, Salim Gauwloos, Jon Gordon, Niki Haris, Ramon Hertz, Richard Hojna, Barney Hoskyns, Anthony Jack- son, Mark Kamins, Mihran Kirakosyan, Danny Kleinman, Pearl Lang, Brian McCollum, Melodie McDaniel, Alex Magno, Bob Magnusson, Maripol, Charles Melcher, Bill Meyers, Peter Mor- se, Rick Nowells, Melinda Patton, Guy Pratt, Princess Julia, Ra- istalla, Tim Rice, Dustin Robertson, Sandy Robertson, Earle Se- bastian, Susan Seidelman, Tony Shimkin, Guy Sigsworth, Peter Sparling, Billy Steinberg, Peggy Vance, Carlton Wilborn, Doug Wimbish, Dick Witts und Peter York. Des Weiteren danke ich vielmals Heather Bradford, Sarah Cheang, Wendy Fonarow, Louise Kerr, Adrian Neale, Susan O’Brien, Daniel Theo und Jane Turner für ihre wunderbare Hil- fe bei der Recherche. Und zum Schluss – aber deshalb nicht we- niger herzlich – gehen meine Liebe und mein Dank an meine Familie für alles, was sie mir gegeben hat. Einführung Es war das Jahr 1985, in dem ich zum Madonna-Fan wurde. Ich kann mich noch gut erinnern, wie ich eines Abends ins Zimmer meiner Freundin trat, die Fernsehen schaute, und mich neben sie setzte. »Was läuft gerade?«, erkundigte ich mich. »Das ist Madonna. Sie zieht ihre Show ab«, erwiderte sie. »Oh, nein!« Fast wäre ich auf der Stelle wieder verschwunden. Für mich war Madonna lediglich diese käsig blasse Poptussi, die sich für das Video zu Like a Virgin, in Kunstfasern geklei- det, lasziv in einer venezianischen Gondel räkelte. »Nein, war- te doch«, sagte meine Freundin. »Sie ist wirklich ziemlich gut. Ziemlich lustig. Sie hat irgendetwas an sich, das sehr anzie- hend ist.« Also sah ich weiter zu. Und schon nach wenigen Minuten hatte es mich gepackt. Die Frau, die in den Top of the Pops wie ein hilfloses Starlet wirkte, hatte offenbar doch einige Stär- ken und Fähigkeiten zu bieten. Und tatsächlich war es gerade das Video ihrer Like a Virgin-Tour gewesen, durch das so viele Menschen zum ersten Mal begriffen, was so faszinierend an ihr war. Sie strahlte eine warme, überschwängliche Energie aus, sie sprach ihr weibliches Publikum auf eine direkte Art an. Sie war etwas pummelig, und es scherte sie kein bisschen. Sie lächelte viel, zwinkerte der Menge zu und lud sie damit ein, sich mit ihr zu amüsieren. Und ihre Musik – rhythmuslastig, tanzbar und dabei mit einer eingängigen Melodie – war sehr ansprechend. 11 Mit der Like a Virgin-Tour hatte sie mein Interesse geweckt, mit dem Film Susan … verzweifelt gesucht gewann sie meine Bewunderung. Sie spielte fröhlich, rotzfrech, unbekümmert. Das war nicht nur ein weiterer künstlicher Retorten-Star, das war sie selbst. Danach vollführte Madonna eine Reihe gezielter Verwandlungen, vom wasserstoffblonden Vamp der True Blue- Ära Mitte der 80er zur dunkelhaarigen geheimnisvollen Verfüh- rerin in Like a Prayer. Für ein ehemals katholisches Mädchen war Letzteres sehr inspirierend. Das Video der Blonde Ambiti- on-Tour mit einer reumütigen Madonna in seinem riesigen Kir- chenschiff ließ mir das Herz stocken. Es folgten der kommerzielle Glanz des Films Dick Tracy so- wie die dekadente Eleganz des Videos zu Justify My Love, von Jean-Baptiste Mondino in einem anonymen Pariser Hotel in Schwarzweiß gefilmt, der unverblümte Spaß von Vogue, dem Soundtrack für einen Sommer des Tanzes, sowie die Enthül- lungen in Madonnas Sex-Buch und in der Dokumentation Truth or Dare, in Deutschland unter dem Titel In Bed with Ma- donna erschienen. Sie sagte einmal über sich, »ich ziehe es vor, den Leuten im Gedächtnis zu bleiben, statt in Vergessenheit zu geraten«, aber damals, im Jahr 1992, ging sie damit selbst für ihre treuesten Fans bis hart an die Schmerzgrenze. Trotzdem bewunderte ich auch weiterhin ihren Abenteuer- geist, ihre Furchtlosigkeit und die Art, wie sie in ihrem Werk al- ternative kulturelle Lebensentwürfe meisterte – von den S&M- Lesben in ihrem Sex-Buch über die gelungene Darstellung einer Schwulen-Disco in Confessions on a Dancefloor bis hin zu dem Video zu Like a Prayer, wo sie einen schwarzen Christus voll auf den Mund küsste. All das tat Madonna stets mit einem wa- chen Auge darauf, dass sie auch für den Mainstream populär blieb. Für ihre Hauptrolle in dem Film Evita beispielsweise ver- wandelte sie sich in eine konventionellere Hollywood-Ikone. Nachdem sie Mutter geworden war, schien es beinahe,

  • Schirn Presse Basquiat Boom for Real En
    BOOM FOR REAL: THE SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT PRESENTS THE ART OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT IN GERMANY BASQUIAT BOOM FOR REAL FEBRUARY 16 – MAY 27, 2018 Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) is acknowledged today as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. More than 30 years after his last solo exhibition in a public collection in Germany, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is presenting a major survey devoted to this American artist. Featuring more than 100 works, the exhibition is the first to focus on Basquiat’s relationship to music, text, film and television, placing his work within a broader cultural context. In the 1970s and 1980s, Basquiat teamed up with Al Diaz in New York to write graffiti statements across the city under the pseudonym SAMO©. Soon he was collaging baseball cards and postcards and painting on clothing, doors, furniture and on improvised canvases. Basquiat collaborated with many artists of his time, most famously Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. He starred in the film New York Beat with Blondie’s singer Debbie Harry and performed with his experimental band Gray. Basquiat created murals and installations for New York nightclubs like Area and Palladium and in 1983 he produced the hip-hop record Beat Bop with K-Rob and Rammellzee. Having come of age in the Post-Punk underground scene in Lower Manhattan, Basquiat conquered the art world and gained widespread international recognition, becoming the youngest participant in the history of the documenta in 1982. His paintings were hung beside works by Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter and Cy Twombly.

  • Madonna's Postmodern Revolution
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2021, Vol. 11, No. 1, 26-32 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2021.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Rebel Madame: Madonna’s Postmodern Revolution Diego Santos Vieira de Jesus ESPM-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The aim is to examine Madonna’s revolution regarding gender, sexuality, politics, and religion with the focus on her songs, videos, and live performances. The main argument indicates that Madonna has used postmodern strategies of representation to challenge the foundational truths of sex and gender, promote gender deconstruction and sexual multiplicity, create political sites of resistance, question the Catholic dissociation between the physical and the divine, and bring visual and musical influences from multiple cultures and marginalized identities. Keywords: Madonna, postmodernism, pop culture, sex, gender, sexuality, politics, religion, spirituality Introduction Madonna is not only the world’s highest earning female entertainer, but a pop culture icon. Her career is based on an overall direction that incorporates vision, customer and industry insight, leveraging competences and weaknesses, consistent implementation, and a drive towards continuous renewal. She constructed herself often rewriting her past, organized her own cult borrowing from multiple subaltern subcultures, and targeted different audiences. As a postmodern icon, Madonna also reflects social contradictions and attitudes toward sexuality and religion and addresses the complexities of race and gender. Her use of multiple media—music, concert tours, films, and videos—shows how images and symbols associated with multiracial, LGBT, and feminist groups were inserted into the mainstream. She gave voice to political interventions in mass popular culture, although many critics argue that subaltern voices were co-opted to provide maximum profit.
