Beyond the Pale and Back Again: Contemporary British Art and the Case of Mark Wallinger BEYOND THE PALE AND BACK AGAIN: CONTEMPORARY BRITISH ART AND THE CASE OF MARK WALLINGER By BRANTLEY BALDWIN JOHNSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Brantley Baldwin Johnson 2 To the most important professors who helped me see this project through: Tom Johnson and Mary Baldwin 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank first and foremost my faculty committee members: Dr. Alexander Alberro, Dr. Florence Babb, Dr. Elizabeth Ross, Dr. Eric Segal, and Dr. Shepherd Steiner. My Floridian friends, students, and mentors have enhanced my confidence and reassured my unease during many stressful occasions. Several colleagues in London were critical in the research and planning stages: most notably Anthony Spira at the Whitechapel Gallery and Milton Keynes Gallery. The staff at the Anthony Reynolds Gallery (Maria Stathi in particular) allowed me unlimited access to rare video works and press materials. This dissertation was enriched as well by the generosity and candidness of Mark Wallinger himself. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  • PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles Collectors Jane and Marc
    PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles Collectors Jane and Marc Nathanson Give Major Artworks to LACMA Art Will Be Shown with Other Promised Gifts at 50th Anniversary Exhibition in April (Image captions on page 3) (Los Angeles, January 26, 2015)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is pleased to announce eight promised gifts of art from Jane and Marc Nathanson. The Nathansons’ gift of eight works of contemporary art includes seminal pieces by Damien Hirst, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and others. The bequest is made in honor of LACMA’s 50th anniversary in 2015. The gifts kick off a campaign, chaired by LACMA trustees Jane Nathanson and Lynda Resnick, to encourage additional promised gifts of art for the museum’s anniversary. Gifts resulting from this campaign will be exhibited at LACMA April 26–September 7, 2015, in an exhibition, 50 for 50: Gifts on the Occasion of LACMA’s Anniversary. "What do you give a museum for its birthday? Art. As we reach the milestone of our 50th anniversary, it is truly inspiring to see generous patrons thinking about the future generations of visitors who will enjoy these great works of art for years and decades to come,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “Jane and Marc Nathanson have kicked off our anniversary year in grand fashion.” Jane Nathanson added, “I hope these gifts will inspire others to make significant contributions in the form of artwork as we look forward not only to the 50th anniversary of the museum, but to the next 50 years.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Abigail Lane Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) Victoria Miro Gallery, 4 October – 10 November 2001 The exhibition is organized by the Milton Keynes Gallery in collaboration with Film and Video Umbrella The Victoria Miro Gallery presents a major solo exhibition of work by Abigail Lane. Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) extends her preoccupation with the fantastical, the Gothic and the uncanny through a trio of arresting and theatrical installations which are based around film projections. Abigail Lane is well known for her large-scale inkpads, wallpaper made with body prints, wax casts of body fragments and ambiguous installations. In these earlier works Lane emphasized the physical marking of the body, often referred to as traces or evidence. In this exhibition Lane turns inward giving form to the illusive and intangible world of the psyche. Coupled with her long-standing fascination with turn-of-the-century phenomena such as séances, freak shows, circus and magic acts, Lane creates a “funhouse-mirror reflection” of the life of the mind. The Figment explores the existence of instinctual urges that lie deep within us. Bathed in a vivid red light, the impish boy-figment beckons us, “Hey, do you hear me…I’m inside you, I’m yours…..I’m here, always here in the dark, I am the dark, your dark… and I want to play….”. A mischievous but not sinister “devil on your shoulder” who taunts and tempts us to join him in his wicked game. The female protagonist of The Inclination is almost the boy-figment’s antithesis.

  • CAN ART HISTORY DIGEST NET ART? Julian Stallabrass from Its
    165 CAN ART HISTORY DIGEST NET ART? Julian Stallabrass From its beginnings, Internet art has had an uneven and confl icted relation- ship with the established art world. There was a point, at the height of the dot-com boom, when it came close to being the “next big thing,” and was certainly seen as a way to reach new audiences (while conveniently creaming off sponsorship funds from the cash-rich computer companies). When the boom became a crash, many art institutions forgot about online art, or at least scaled back and ghettoized their programs, and that forgetting became deeper and more widespread with the precipitate rise of con- temporary art prices, as the gilded object once more stepped to the forefront of art-world attention. Perhaps, too, the neglect was furthered by much Internet art’s association with radical politics and the methods of tactical media, and by the extraordinary growth of popular cultural participation online, which threatened to bury any identifi ably art-like activity in a glut of appropriation, pastiche, and more or less knowing trivia. One way to try to grasp the complicated relation between the two realms is to look at the deep incompatibilities of art history and Internet art. Art history—above all, in the paradox of an art history of the contemporary— is still one of the necessary conduits through which works must pass as they move through the market and into the security of the museum. In examining this relation, at fi rst sight, it is the antagonisms that stand out. Lacking a medium, eschewing beauty, confi ned to the screen of the spreadsheet and the word processor, and apparently adhering to a discred- ited avant-gardism, Internet art was easy to dismiss.

  • From 199C to 199D Liam Gillick
    FROM 199C TO 199D LIAM GILLICK MAGASIN / Centre National d’Art Contemporain École du MAGASIN June 6 - September 7, 2014 For more than twenty years Liam Gillick (born 1964, U.K.) has questioned the exhibition as a phenomenon and isolated the possible markers that could define it. These include the occupation of time, the role of the institu- tion and varied forms of collaboration. In the 1990s the most prominent of his interests questioned the dynamic relationship between artists, curators and institutions. Twenty years later he is working with curatorial students to reanimate early works from the 1990s. The first version of this process was From 199A to 199B at the CCS Bard Hessel Museum in New York in 2012. The exhibition From 199C to 199D is a completely new development that expands upon the original exhibition. Liam Gillick has worked closely alongside the students of the École du MAGASIN - Claire Astier, Neringa Bum- bliené, Paola Bonino, Giulia Bortoluzzi, Selma Boskailo and Anna Tomczak – and MAGASIN Director Yves Aupetitallot for nine months towards the reanimation of a selection of key works from the 1990s. Particular focus is upon works that articulate changes and continuities in cultural, political and social discourse over the last twenty years. The exhibition at MAGASIN expands in different way through a forthcoming publication and the official website of Session 23. A book will be published by JRP/Ringier that includes a survey of the Bard and MAGASIN exhibitions and includes essays by Paul O’Neill and Jorn Schaffaf.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.
