  • Artaud Versus Kant: Annihilation of the Imagination in Deleuze's Philosophy of Cinema1
    CINEMA 6! 137 ARTAUD VERSUS KANT: ANNIHILATION OF THE IMAGINATION IN DELEUZE’S PHILOSOPHY OF CINEMA1 Jurate Baranova (Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences) Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) present two different poles of the possibility of thought: 1) that of critical sharpness and 2) a possible inability to concen- trate on thinking at all. The first author is known as a famous critic of all forms of reason, whereas the second stands out as the author of the theatre of cruelty, a poet, playwright, es- sayist, novelist, theatre and film actor, producer, theoretician of the theatre, and artist who spent about nine years in various asylums, diagnosed with schizophrenical delirium. How it is possible for them to have some relation at all? Philosophy is a paradox, writes Deleuze in Difference and Repetition. These two, at the first sight incommensurable thinkers, as Michel Foucault would have said — meet at the realm of discourse — in the philosophy of Deleuze. In 1963, Deleuze published the book Kant’s Critical Philosophy (La philosophie critique de Kant). He never wrote a book or any special text on Artaud as, for instance, Jacques Derrida did in “La Parole soufflée,” “Le Théâtre de la cruauté et la clôture de la représentation,”2 and “For- cener le subjectile.”3 Adrian Morfee nevertheless made a hasty conclusion when he re- proached Deleuze for “grandiloquent championing of Artaud in his article “Le Schizophrène et le mot,” where he declares he would not sacrifice one page of Artaud for all of Carroll, in fact only half a page out of fifteen are given over to discussing Artaud.

  • Avantgarden Und Politik
    Im Rausch der Revolution: Kunst und Politik bei André Masson und den surrealistischen Gruppierungen Contre-Attaque und Acéphale STEPHAN MOEBIUS Wirft man einen Blick auf die Debatten um die historische Avantgarde- bewegung des Surrealismus, so fällt auf, dass deren politisches Engage- ment1 in der Avantgardeforschung, in Ausstellungen und in der Kunst- geschichte allgemein auf spezifische und mehrere Weisen »gezähmt«2 wird: Entweder werden die politischen Aktivitäten der Surrealisten auf eine antibürgerliche Haltung reduziert oder sie werden als eine kurzzei- tige, von der »wahren« ästhetischen Praxis und den Kunstwerken der Surrealisten völlig abtrennbare Verirrung3 dargestellt. In manchen Inter- pretationen wirft man ihnen sogar vor, mit totalitären Systemen ver- wandt zu sein oder diese vorbereitet zu haben (Dröge/Müller 1995; Klinger 2004: 218). Im letzteren Fall gilt der (meist vor dem Hinter- grund der Totalitarismustheorie argumentierende) pauschale Vorwurf 1 Siehe dazu beispielsweise die Tractes surréalistes et déclarations collecti- ves 1922-1939 (Pierre 1980), Nadeau (1986), Short (1969) sowie Lewis (1988) und Spiteri/LaCoss (2003). 2 Vgl. Breuer (1997). Auch die Düsseldorfer Ausstellung (Spies 2002) über den Surrealismus machte eine Trennung zwischen Bildern und Manifes- ten, sie zähmte den Surrealismus und setzte die Bilder kaum in Beziehung zu den politischen Manifesten, Zeitschriften und Texten (vgl. Bürger 2002). 3 Vgl. Vailland (1948), Greenberg (1986), Alfred Barr (1936), William Ru- bin (1968). 89 STEPHAN MOEBIUS einer Geistesverwandtschaft mit dem Faschismus oder dem Stalinismus den gesamten historischen Avantgardebewegungen, ohne dass in den meisten Fällen im Einzelnen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Protago- nisten bzw. zwischen Surrealismus, Dadaismus, Bauhaus und dem fa- schistischen Futurismus unterschieden wird. Die Futuristen sind in der Tat kriegslüsterne Patrioten und spätere Parteigänger des italienischen Faschismus.

  • Drawing Surrealism Didactics 10.22.12.Pdf
    ^ Drawing Surrealism Didactics Drawing Surrealism is the first-ever large-scale exhibition to explore the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Although launched initially as a literary movement with the publication of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, surrealism quickly became a cultural phenomenon in which the visual arts were central to envisioning the world of dreams and the unconscious. Automatic drawings, exquisite corpses, frottage, decalcomania, and collage are just a few of the drawing-based processes invented or reinvented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. With surrealism, drawing, long recognized as the medium of exploration and innovation for its use in studies and preparatory sketches, was set free from its associations with other media (painting notably) and valued for its intrinsic qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. This exhibition reveals how drawing, often considered a minor medium, became a predominant mode of expression and innovation that has had long-standing repercussions in the history of art. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for Drawing Surrealism , aspires to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing. Drawing Surrealism is also the first exhibition to examine the impact of surrealist drawing on a global scale . In addition to works from well-known surrealist artists based in France (André Masson, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, among them), drawings by lesser-known artists from Western Europe, as well as from countries in Eastern Europe and the Americas, Great Britain, and Japan, are included.

    Jennifer Wild, “‘Are You Afraid of the Cinema?’” AmeriQuests (2015) ‘Are you Afraid of the Cinema?’: Du Cinéma and the Changing Question of Cinephilia and the Avant-Garde (1928-1930) In December 1928, the prolific “editor of the Surrealists,” La Librairie José Corti, launched the deluxe, illustrated journal Du Cinéma: Revue de Critique et de Recherches Cinématographiques.1 Its first issue, indeed its very first page, opened with a questionnaire that asked, “Are you afraid of the cinema?” (Fig. 1, 2) The following paragraphs describing the questionnaire’s logic and critical aims were not penned by the journal’s founding editor in chief, Jean- George Auriol (son of George Auriol, the illustrator, typographer, and managing editor of the fin-de-siècle journal Le Chat Noir); rather, they were composed by André Delons, poet, critic, and member of the Parisian avant-garde group Le Grand Jeu. “This simple question is, by design, of a frankness and a weight made to unsettle you. I warn you that it has a double sense and that the only thing that occupies us is to know which you will choose,” he wrote.2 1. Cover, Du Cinéma, No. 1.

  • The Dismembered Body in Antonin Artaud's Surrealist Plays
    CHAPTER TWO THE DISMEMBERED BODY IN ANTONIN ARTAUD’S SURREALIST PLAYS THOMAS CROMBEZ In two of his surrealist plays, Antonin Artaud inserted a scene where human limbs rain down on the stage. The beginning of Le Jet de sang (The Spurt of Blood, 1925) features a young couple pathetically declaring their love for one another, when suddenly a hurricane bursts, two stars collide, and “a series of legs of living flesh fall down, together with feet, hands, heads of hair, masks, colonnades, portals, temples, and distilling flasks”1 (Artaud 1976a, 71). In a later scenario prepared for the Theatre of Cruelty project, La Conquête du Mexique (The Conquest of Mexico, 1933), the volley of human limbs is echoed almost verbatim. Human limbs, cuirasses, heads, and bellies fall down from all levels of the stage set, like a hailstorm that bombards the earth with supernatural explosions.2 (Artaud 1979, 23) These literal and, according to the theatrical conventions of the day, almost unstageable instances of “dismemberment in drama” point to a distinctive characteristic of Artaud’s work. He seemed to strive for a purely mental drama, to be staged for the enjoyment of the mind’s eye. The distinctly appropriative method he employed to write his mental play- texts may be labeled, borrowing an expression from Alfred Jarry studies, as “the systematically wrong style” (Jarry 1972, 1158). This expression has already proven its worth as the most concise term for Jarry’s linguistically grotesque plays, composed of Shakespearean drama, vulgar talk, heraldic language, archaisms, and corny schoolboy humor. The first part of my essay considers why the standard poststructuralist interpretation of Artaud’s œuvre is unable to provide a strictly literal reading of the human body parts that litter the stage.

  • Networking Surrealism in the USA. Agents, Artists and the Market
    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.

ABSTRACT As the first major study of the portrait artist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893- 1965), this thesis locates the artist in his social, political and economic context, arguing that his portraiture can be seen as an exemplar of modernity. The portraits are shown to be responses to modern life, revealed not in formally avant- garde depictions, but in the subject-matter. Industrial growth, the increasing population, expanding suburbs, and a renewed interest in the outdoor life and popular entertainment are reflected in Fleetwood-Walker’s artistic output. The role played by exhibition culture in the creation of the portraits is analysed: developing retail theory affected gallery design and exhibition layout and in turn impacted on the size, subject matter and style of Fleetwood-Walker’s portraits.
