2020-08-Xx DISSERTATION Revisions UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Cinematic Atopia: Robert Smithson and the Filmic Afterlife of the Soviet Avant-Garde A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Zachary Rottman 2020 © Copyright by Zachary Rottman 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Cinematic Atopia: Robert Smithson and the Filmic Afterlife of the Soviet Avant-Garde by Zachary Rottman Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor George Baker, Chair This dissertation reconsiders the legacy of American artist Robert Smithson (1938–73) through his reception of Sergei Eisenstein (1898–1948), famed Revolutionary Soviet filmmaker. From his early canonization, Smithson has been virtually synonymous with the emergence of aesthetic postmodernism. Radically redefining sculpture as plural and dispersed (as in his nonsites) or else site-specific, subject to physical deterioration, and mediated by film and photography (as with his signal earthwork Spiral Jetty), Smithson’s practice has been consistently positioned as a rigorously logical, programmatic critique of Greenbergian modernism and the idealism subtending its values of autonomy and opticality. To that end, Smithson’s work is understood, too, as “postminimal,” extending the anti-aesthetic provocations that Minimalist objecthood ii inherited from the Soviet avant-garde precedent. In focusing narrowly on Constructivist sculpture of the early 1920s, however, accounts of this generation’s revival of that avant- garde have ignored the Revolutionary cinema to which it gave rise. Such an oversight is especially significant given that Eisenstein’s films were undergoing widespread reassessment beginning in the 1960s, during which time they were rapidly assimilated by Smithson, an artist exemplary of his generation for being not only a sculptor but also a cinephile and filmmaker. Taking seriously Smithson’s cinephilia and filmmaking practice, as well as his manifest interest in Soviet cinema specifically, this dissertation reconsiders a canonical postmodernist through the radical model of Eisenstein’s films. In particular, it shows Eisenstein’s theory of dialectical montage to be teeming amidst Smithson’s work and animating the paradoxes, binaries, and discontinuities that proliferate through his entire practice, even, or perhaps especially, when that practice does not take recourse to the physical material of film. In doing so, an unfamiliar Smithson emerges—not the quintessential logician of postmodernity but, following the libidinal subtext of Eisensteinian montage, an artist concerned with hellish monstrosity, perversion, sexuality, and violence consistent with his reading of Georges Bataille. The destination may no longer be Revolutionary utopia but what Smithson described in 1971 as a “cinematic atopia”—an entropic nether-place of razed boundaries, ruined hierarchies, and obliterated categories that will come to define the artist’s devolutionary “montage” of sculpture and film. iii This dissertation of Zachary Rottman is approved.

This article discusses the ways in which October refers to that historical art movement, while overlooking some of its key political aspira­ tions. Especially during the journal’s founding years, the discursive association with Sovi­ et Constructivism served to bestow criticality, urgency, and sociopolitical relevance on the American art journal. Furthermore, with the reference to Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov, in particular, the October protagonists have positioned themselves in a specific manner within mid-1970s art critical discourse in the United States.

    Your Concise New York Art Guide for Spring 2018 February 28, 2018 Events Your list of 45 must-see, fun, insightful, and very New York art events this season. Leonard Fink, “Self-Portrait on Pier 46 (“This is Serious Too”)” (1979), silver gelatin print, 8 x 10 in (collection and © of the LGBT Community Center National History Archive) We’re back with our yearly spring guide of must-see, fun, insightful, and very New York art events. From museum shows to air fairs to film festivals, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy with this season. Please note that some of the exhibitions listed here opened in January and February, but lucky for us they continue through the spring. January The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Baya: Woman of Algiers When: January 9–March 31 Where: Grey Art Gallery (100 Washington Square East, Greenwich Village, Manhattan) The Grey Art Gallery is putting on two fascinating and very distinct exhibitions this season. One displays neuroscientist Santiago Ramon y Cajal’s drawings of the brain, which are not only beautiful but remarkably clear and accurate. Eighty of his drawings, which date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, will be shown alongside contemporary visualizations of the brain. The gallery’s second exhibition is devoted to Baya Mahieddine (known as Baya), an Algerian artist who has yet to gain international recognition. Her vibrant, patterned gouaches Baya, “Femme et enfant en bleu (Woman and child in blue)” (1947) and ceramics drew the attention gouache on board, 22 3/4 x 17 7/8 in (Collection Isabelle Maeght, Paris © of André Breton, Henri Matisse, Photo Galerie Maeght, Paris) and Pablo Picasso.

Contact: [email protected] INFORMATION TO USERS The most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.
