Claire Bishop_________________ _______________ ____________________________ Date Chair of Examining Committee Claire Bishop_________________ _______________ ____________________________ Date Executive Officer David Joselit____________________ Siona Wilson____________________ Boris Groys (New York University)__ Supervisory Committee THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii Abstract Standard Deviations: Reality, Reproducibility, and Politics in Performance Art since 1989 by Jonah Westerman Adviser: Professor Claire Bishop Performance art is conventionally seen as having a privileged relation to reality because of the way it insists on the immediate experiences of specific human bodies, the full depth of which can never be adequately reproduced or captured. This understanding of performance as accessing authenticity through ephemerality has long made it a stage for artistic and political subversion. Since the early 1990s, however, a group of European artists responding to processes of globalization that have changed the nature of political economy—the demise of the Soviet Union, NAFTA, and new regulations concerning trade and travel in the E.U.—have developed performance strategies that unsettle the traditional understanding of performance that insists on the potency of an eruptive ephemerality. This dissertation discusses how the performance-based works of Santiago Sierra (b. 1966, Spain), Artur !mijewski (b. 1966, Poland), Christoph Schlingensief (1960-2010, Germany), and the artist collective, Neue Slowenische Kunst (formed 1984, Slovenia) use non-artist participants as a primary medium alongside photography, video, and web-based platforms to assert the reproducibility of both people and events. I argue that performance art since 1989 comprises a new mode of addressing audiences designed to illustrate how history persists and repeats in the present, especially when we imagine iv we can escape it. As such, each artist engages and describes a specific local horizon that defines a global totality in its own terms, at once acknowledging the newness of the post-1989 world and refuting it. The works I analyze present audiences with the “same” object of interpretation in order to elicit and describe the range of responses possible. I argue that every reproducible performance functions as a sonar ping, issuing from the work of art and mapping the surrounding human territory. From this notional zero-point, the work creates a political portrait, detailing a spectrum of opinions and speculating on their historical derivation. Because of how these works themselves deviate from traditional performance, they are able to chart a cognitive landscape that describes where each of us stands in relation to others—they picture us and our various pictures of the world as so many standard deviations. v Acknowledgments Working on this dissertation has been a pleasure and a privilege, not least of all because of the people and institutions integral to the process. I would like to thank The Graduate Center for the Dissertation Completion Fellowship that funded this final year’s writing, as well as a few key archivists and curators who furnished me with even more valuable material support in the forms of documents, texts, and conversations: Aleksandra Sa"a Nabergoj of the SCCA-Ljubljana Center for Contemporary Arts, #ukasz Ronduda of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, and Julia Glänzel of the Archiv Darstellende Kunst at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. I would also like to thank the artists of IRWIN for their intellectual generosity, which provided inestimable encouragement. A great many mentors similarly nurtured my enthusiasm while also pushing my thinking to levels of complexity and clarity I could never have reached on my own; I have tremendous gratitude for discussions with David Joselit, Siona Wilson, Boris Groys, Anna Chave, Geoffrey Batchen, Jennifer Ball, and John Brenkman. And to my adviser, Claire Bishop, I owe a profound debt. Her encyclopedic knowledge, razor intellect, careful discipline, and indefatigable pursuit of new things to be seen, thought, and said have lighted my path through this project and beyond. There is no greater compliment or spur than her having treated me as a colleague. And to my family and friends, my deepest appreciation of all. Wendy, Michael, and Ariel Westerman have supported me in ways too numerable to describe; their constant love and confidence have helped me through this dissertation and much else, besides. Very special thanks to J. Gabriel Boylan and Benjamin Tiven for being willing, incisive, and often hilarious interlocutors about all things theoretical and practical. Zachary Samalin has been my friend, family, and spiritual collaborator in fashioning precepts foundational to my sense of the world since long before this text started to take shape. Much of what’s best in this dissertation could not have existed without the influence of his intelligence and humor. And to my partner in all things, Lindsay Caplan, I owe more than I can ever possibly repay, though I will happily spend the rest of my life trying. Thank you, Lindsay, you’ve made my work, my life, and my relationship to art far richer than I could have ever dreamed. vi Table of Contents List of Illustrations vii Introduction Past Presence: Performance Art and the Politics of Rupture 1 Chapter One Abuse Value: People and Things in Santiago Sierra’s Post-Minimalism Significant Others 27 The Subject of Objecthood 37 The Object of Subjecthood 47 Spatial Relations 60 Chapter Two Gesamtkunstwurst: Christoph Schlingensief’s Multimedia Exorcisms Inclusion and Extrusion 74 The Reunification Follies, or Broadcasting 1989 81 Obscene Onscreen 88 The Geist in the Machine 92 Heavy History, Mass Media 100 From the Public Sphere to the Exorcist’s Séance 114 Chapter Three Repetition / Compulsion: Artur !mijewski, Autonomy, and Individuality Tabula Rasa 129 Analytic Subjectivism, or Fantastic Privacy 134 Repetitive Stress 141 Real Life and Anti-Realism, or Escape in Poland 147 Synthetic Subjectivism 155 Chapter Four Ambassadors of the Future Past: IRWIN and History as Readymade In Medias Res 173 Un/Official Art 176 Unoriginality and Modernist Myth 184 Tu m’, or IRWIN’s Readymade Reflections of The ‘Former East’ 191 Contesting Utopias, or The Importance of Place in the State in Time 203 Conclusion Standard Deviations: Performance Art and Spatial-Indexical Politics 224 Bibliography 239 Illustrations 245 vii List of Illustrations Chapter One 1.1.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • Laibach Is a Slovenian Multi-Media Collective, Founded in 1980 in the Mining Town Trbovlje
    LAIBACH Laibach is a cross-media pop-art formation, founded in 1980 in the industrial mining town Trbovlje, in Slovenia (then still Yugoslavia). The name Laibach (German for the capital city Ljubljana) as well as the group’s militant self-stylisation, propagandist manifestos and statements has raised numerous debates on their artistic and political positioning. Many theorists, among them Slavoj Žižek repeatedly, have discussed the Laibach-phenomenon. The main elements of Laibach’s varied practices are: strong references to the history of avant- garde, nazi-kunst and socialist realism, de-individualisation in their public actions as anonymous quartet, conceptual proclamations, and forceful sonic stage performances - mostly labelled as industrial pop music, but their artistic strategy also carries a lot of humour and tactics of persiflage and disinformation. Self-defined ‘engineers of human souls’ are practicing collective work (official member names are Eber, Saliger, Dachauer and Keller), dismantling individual authorship and establishing the principle of hyper-identification. Already within their early Laibach Kunst exhibitions they created and defined the term ‚retro- avant-garde’ (in 1983), creatively questioned artistic ‚quotation’, appropriation, copyright, and promoting copy-left. Starting out as both an art and music group, Laibach became internationally renowned, especially with their violating re-interpretations of hits by Queen, the Stones, the Beatles, but also by their unique and daring concerts during the war in occupied Sarajevo (1995) or their recent one in North Korean capital of Pyongyang (2015). But what many do not know, however, is that Laibach in fact began its career as a visual art group. Images that most people know from the paintings of the NSK Irwin group – the cross, the coffee cup, the deer, the metal worker and the Red Districts – were originally Laibach motifs.

  • Untranslating the Neo-Avant-Gardes Luke Skrebowski
    INTRODUCTION UnTranslaTing The neo-aVanT-garDes luke skrebowski This guest-edited issue aims to trouble assumptions about the trans- latability of various global neo-avant-gardes into canonical Anglo- American terms and categories—including Pop, Minimalism, Conceptualism—however problematized and expanded they may be in the process. The assumptions I have in mind tend to prop up the cul- tural hegemony of Western institutions by means of a logic of inclusion that serves to reinforce rather than destabilize the status quo. To this end, this issue foregrounds the problem of translation, and specifi cally the fi gure of “the untranslatable,” to address the mediation of global neo-avant-gardes in a more refl exive way, going beyond the often nebu- lous and frequently one-sided notions of “infl uence,” “interaction,” or “contact” that continue to characterize much of the discourse on the global neo-avant-gardes. The notion of the untranslatable is borrowed from Barbara Cassin, via Emily Apter and Jacques Lezra, and is developed here for comparative work in, but also in a certain sense against, global art his- tory. Cassin’s multilingual philosophical lexicon Vocabulaire européen des philosophies: Dictionnaire des intraduisibles (2004) consists of a select number of terms drawn from particular national and linguistic philosophical traditions which are chosen precisely for their “untrans- latability,” a term that, as Cassin insists, “n’implique nullement que les termes en question . ne soient pas traduits et ne puissent pas 4 © 2018 ARTMargins and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology doi:10.1162/ARTM_e_00206 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/artm_e_00206 by guest on 26 September 2021 l’être—l’intraduisible c’est plutôt ce qu’on ne cesse pas de (ne pas) traduire.” (“In no way implies that the terms in question .

  • Irwin & Neue Slowenische Kunst
    Irwin & Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) Have you ever considered what, exactly, it means to identify yourself in terms of your nationality? A nation’s self identity is complex and often provokes heated debate. For example, being an “American” must mean something other than being a citizen of the United States of America since citizens are sometimes accused of acting in an “un-American” way. In the early 1980s, questions of national identity came to the forefront of politics in an area of the northernmost part of Yugoslavia that is now known as the Republic of Slovenia. At the time, “Slovenia” was not—nor had it ever been—a country. Rather, “Slovenia” had always been a part of something else. In the early 1980s, it was a part of Yugoslavia. Before that, it had been a part of the Nazi Reich, France, the Hapsburg Empire, Greater Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and so on. So what did it mean to be Slovene when “Slovenia” was merely an idea of a nation that consisted, essentially, of layer upon layer of assimilated outside influences? In 1984, the visual arts collective Irwin and the Scipion Nasice Sisters Theater Group joined with the inter-media group Laibach to form a collective enterprise known as Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), or “New Slovenian Art.” Using German (rather than Slovene) for the name of the collective conjured images of German domination of the region during World War II and made it clear that the group did not plan to create nationalist art to be exploited for the cause of Slovenian liberation.
