Един от спорните моменти в дискусията беше, че сек- суалността и половата идентичност са нещо лично и като такива са и аполитични - като вкуса за дрехи, храна или музика. В заключение един от участниците в диску- сията стигна до питането: „Защо да политизираме аполитичното?”. Да, въпросите на пола, половата идентичност и сексуалността могат да бъдат въз- приети като лични (и аполитични?), но само в една идеална среда, лишена от кон- фликти. Факт е обаче, че не живеем в такава. Тук и сега (в България, Европа, света, макар и в различна степен) има установени и понякога изглеждащи непоклатими позиции, както повелява хетеронормата. Отклонявайки се или не приемайки я, индивидът навлиза в пряк конфликт с морални и институционални предписания, чието прекрачване е неизменно „политично”. Когато говорим за куиър, сюблимният момент на манифестацията на личното (т.е. превръщането му в публично) е наситен с конфликти и противоречия и именно тази пълнота на смисли, значения и интер- претации е обединяващият мотив в тазгодишния форум. „Манифестации на личното” е един вид провокация - оголване и разкриване, съз- даване на множество споделени лични пространства. Противоречиви и разнопо- сочни „интимни” себе/изразявания на единадесет автори, някои от които вглъбено изследват собствената си същност, други се занимават с феминизъм, религия и фе- тишизъм, трети пък изхождат от личната си история в търсене на базисния въпрос за предопределеността. Не е случайно, че в изложбите в рамките на форума пре- обладават авто/портретите, които преди всичко представляват само/съзерцание и само/анализиране. изложбата в галерия „васка емануилова” включва работите на Светозара александрова, Кирил биков, войн де войн, антония Гюрковска, иво Дим- чев, Станка Колева, Красен Кръстев & паул Дунка, лубри, боряна росса и наталия тодорова. Така например Войн де Войн прави един своеобразен портрет на майка си в тър- сене на факторите, които са предопределили неговата личност и сексуалност. Стремежът му към осъзнаване на връзката с майката и нейното значение за фор- мирането му минава през личния му архив от снимки и спомени и достига своята връхна точка в хипнотичния сеанс, чрез който той тотално излага на показ своята най-лична, дори за самия него неподозирана до момента, страна. С друг базисен проблем на сексуалната идентичност се занимава Боряна Росса - идеалите за красота, които обуславят женското тяло. „Манифестацията на личното” на Росса е свързана с нейното „ново тяло, което няма гърди” (както самата тя казва) - ма- нифестация, която се превръща в политическо изказване срещу стереотипите за женското тяло, вследствие на които „различните” тела са невидими в обществото. Концепцията за „новото” тяло прегръща и включва „различността” - тялото не е 1 Вж. цялата дискусия на адрес: www.blistermagazine.com/en/панелна-дискусия-на-блистер- политика; както и извадките в този каталог. 4 определено от бинарните позиции на хетеронормативността и нейните предпи- сания, което стои в основата и на цялата изложба. Също с понятието за красота се занимава и Светозара Александрова, която в ра- ботата си Метафизика на красотата използва друг елемент, свързван с женстве- ността - ноктите. Чрез отдалечаването на атрибута за разкрасяване от неговия обект работата поставя под въпрос не само значението му в контекста на стере- отипите за красота, но и неговото полово адресиране. Фотографиите на Станка Колева напомнят на класически гол портрет, при който мъжкото око наблюдава съблазнителна жена. Още повече, че естетиката на Колева и класическите фо- тографски методи, които използва, засилват усещането за ранните фотографски портрети от 20-те години. Снимките обаче са всъщност автопортрет, което пре- връща работата, но и акта на създаването ѝ, в един вид освобождение от класиче- ската визуална традиция, доминирана от мъжкия поглед и перспектива. С класи- чески образи и преосмислянето им се занимава и Лубри със своите фотографии. Голите жени на класическата живопис са заменени от голи мъже, които носят хедонистичния дух на пълната освободеност. Свръхсексуалността на голотата е балансирана от прикрития пол. Именно липсата на пол създава и чувството за освобождение. Иво Димчев е

    3rd Venice International Performance Art Week, 2016 Ouch – Pain and Performance A screening programme curated by Live Art Development Agency, London “I see pain as an inevitable byproduct of interesting performance.” Dominic Johnson According to Wikipedia ‘pain’ is an “unpleasant feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli…(it) motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations and to avoid similar experiences in the future.” But for many artists and audiences the opposite is just as true, and pain within the context of performance is a challenging, exhilarating and profound experience. Ouch is a collection of documentation and artists’ films looking at pain and performance. The works are not necessarily performances about pain, but in some way involve or invoke pain in their making or reading or experience - both the pain artists cause themselves within the course of their work, whether intentional or not, and the experiences of audiences as they are invited to inflict pain on artists or are subjected to pain and discomfort themselves. The selected works feature eminent and ground breaking artists from around the world whose practices address provocative issues including the lived experiences of illness, the aging female body, cosmetic surgery, addiction, embodied public protest, animalistic impulses, blood letting, staged fights, acts of self harm and flagellation, and what can happen when you invite audiences to be complicit in performance actions. Ouch featured artists: Marina Abramovic, Ron Athey, Marcel.Li Antunez Roca, Franko B, Wafaa Bilal, Rocio Boliver, Cassils, Bob Flanagan, Regina Jose Galindo, jamie lewis hadley, Nicola Hunter & Ernst Fischer, Oleg Kulik, Martin O’Brien, Kira O’Reilly, ORLAN, Petr Pavlensky.

  • Performance Art in Eastern Europe Since 1960
    H-Soyuz New publication: Performance Art in Eastern Europe since 1960 Discussion published by Amy Bryzgel on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Media Release: A University of Aberdeen academic has published a new book dedicated to an art form previously excluded from the history books. Dr Amy Bryzgel, Senior Lecturer in Film and Visual Culture, has just published the first academic monograph outlining the history, development and significance of performance art in Eastern Europe. She said: “As a result of the Cold War, and the divisions of Europe into East and West, art from Eastern Europe has largely been excluded from the history books. Experimental art forms, such as performance, were not officially recognised by the various governments in the region, where painting and sculpture remained the main options for professional artists. “Many artists in Eastern Europe experimented with performance art because they were able to use their bodies to express what they perhaps couldn’t in painting. “ The book, Performance Art in Eastern Europe since 1960, was funded by the Leverhulme Trust and Arts and Humanities Research Council, and it involved more than two years of research which took Dr Bryzgel across an area previously behind the Iron Curtain. It includes discussion of more recent performance art in the region, such as that by Russian artists Pussy Riot and Petr Pavlensky, which have made international headlines alongside consideration of the long history of performance in Eastern Europe. Dr Bryzgel added: “This book has been a labour of love that would not have been possible without the generosity of so many artists, art historians and arts practitioners in the region.

  • Art & Architecture Design Cultural Studies
    ART & ARCHITECTURE DESIGN CULTURAL STUDIES NEW AND RECENT TITLES THE MIT PRESS Muriel Cooper David Reinfurt and Robert Wiesenberger Foreword by Lisa Strausfeld Afterword by Nicholas Negroponte Muriel Cooper (1925–1994) was the pioneering designer who created the iconic MIT Press colophon (or logo)— seven bars that represent the lowercase letters “mitp” as abstracted books on a shelf. She designed a modernist monument, the encyclopedic volume The Bauhaus (1969), and the graphically dazzling and controversial first edition of Learning from Las Vegas (1972). She used an offset press as an artistic tool, worked with a large-format Polaroid camera, and had an early vision of e-books. Cooper was the first design director of the MIT Press, the cofounder of the Vis- ible Language Workshop at MIT, and the first woman to be granted tenure at MIT’s Media Lab, where she developed software interfaces and taught a new generation of design- ers. She began her four-decade career at MIT by designing vibrant printed flyers for the Office of Publications; her final projects were digital. This lavishly illustrated volume documents Cooper’s career in abundant detail, with prints, sketches, book covers, posters, mechanicals, student projects, and photographs, from her work in design, teaching, and research at MIT. A humanist among scientists, Cooper embraced dynamism, simultaneity, transparency, and expressiveness across all the media she worked in. More than two decades after her career came to a premature end, Muriel Cooper’s legacy is still unfolding. This beautiful slip-cased volume, designed by Yasuyo Iguchi, looks back at a body of work that is as contemporary now as it was when Cooper was experimenting with IBM Selectric typewriters.

DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.5 Abstract Russian dissident artist Pyotr (or Petr) Pavlensky received international attention after a video was broadcast in 2013 that depicted him sitting in Red Square in Moscow with his scrotum nailed to the cobblestones. The incident was later revealed to be part of a series of works of performance art enacted by Pavlensky, which included sewing his own mouth shut, ap- pearing naked within a coil of barbed wire in front of the legislature, build- ing a mock barrier of flaming tires in downtown St Petersburg in imitation of the political uprisings in Kiev, cutting off his own ear while sitting naked on the wall of the Serbsky Psychiatric Hospital, and setting fire to the wooden doors of the headquarters of the Russian Secret Service.

    allegorical scene KGivaxavTivoç Ilap0évr|ç, 1955 Culture Tatjana Aleksic University of Michigan The Body of a Political Masochist: Torture, Performance and Power in Elias Maglinis' The Interrogation In November 2013 Russian conceptual artist Petr Pavlensky nailed his testicles to the icy cobbles of the Red Square in Moscow and sat there un­ til the police and health services intervened. This protest/performance act rounded off a politically inspired “trilogy” that over two years involved vari­ ous methods of body brutalization. The two performances preceding this one were a rather obvious act of Pavlensky’s sewing his lips shut, in protest at the incarceration of Pussy Riot members and the silencing of Russian dis­ sidents, while the other one had him lying naked in a roll of barbed wire in front of the Legislative Assembly, in protest of Russian censorship, the notorious anti-gay legislation and a few other recent controversial laws.1 Resorting to such excruciating performances was part of his many attempts at drawing attention as much to the complacency with which contempo­ rary Russians tolerate the corruption and bureaucratic impenetrability of Vladimir Putin’s rule, as Pavlensky’s own reaction as an artist to the com­ modification and mainstreaming of art in contemporary society. Each one of Pavlensky’s performances ended in his arrest, while the first one had him sent for psychiatric evaluation. Each time, likewise, he was released with no charges, while the psychiatric evaluations found nothing in Pavlensky’s be­ havior that could be potentially interesting for the science. He struck again in October 2014, when he cut off one of his ears while sitting naked on the wall of a Moscow psychiatric hospital.

W.J.T. Mitchell’s question exposes the hypocrisy of modern-day societies fond of perceiving themselves as rational, yet with an approach to images seemingly suggesting that they continue concealing atavistic traces of animism or totemism (footnote: a culmination of animist fears in popular culture is projected in the film Velvet Buzzsaw – wherein animated artworks murder inhuman collectors and art critics with an inclination for a fetishist and/or capitalist take on their aura).
