Abstract

This book examines popular culture and pornographic spaces as sites of architectural production. Combining historical perspectives with insights from critical theory, gender studies, queer theory, porn studies, and the history of technology, and drawing from a range of primary transdisciplinary sources, treatises on sexuality, medical and pharmaceutical handbooks, architecture journals, erotic magazines, building manuals, and novels, this book traces the strategic relationships among architecture, gender, and sexuality through popular sites related to the production and consumption of pornography: design objects, bachelor pads, and multimedia rotating beds. Largely relegated to the margins of traditional histories of architecture, these sites are not mere spaces but a series of overlapping systems of representation. They are understood here not as inherently or naturally sexual, nor as perverted or queer, but rather as biopolitical techniques for governing sexual reproduction and the production of gender in modernity.

Abstract

Judy Chicago’s meesterwerk “The Dinner Party” is wellicht een van de bekendste feministische kunstwerken uit de Verenigde Staten. Het symboliseert een geschiedenis van vrouwen in de westerse beschaving en nodigt de toeschouwer uit om na te denken over hoe de geschiedschrijving eruit zou zien als de bijdragen van vrouwen op evenveel waarde worden geschat als die van mannen. Het werd voor het eerst tentoongesteld in 1979, waarna het een tour maakte doorheen het land. Dat bleek niet evident, want veel musea vonden het werk te radicaal. Vrijwilligers kwamen in actie en zochten naar alternatieve plaatsen om het werk tentoon te stellen.Dit boek onderzoekt hoe feministische ideeën zich vanuit de activistische en intellectuele sfeer weten te verspreiden naar de mainstream cultuur. Het gaat over de totstandkoming van het werk in de jaren zeventig en hoe Judy Chicago de praktijk van het feminisme introduceerde in haar kunstworkshops. De reacties en commentaren op het werk, alsook de kritiek van postmoderne feministen die het werk als té essentialistisch en te weinig multicultureel beschouwden, komen eveneens aan bod. Zelfs in de jaren negentig bleven sommige politici zich verzetten tegen het tentoonstellen van het werk, omdat ze het obsceen vonden. Gelukkig valt het vandaag nog steeds te bewonderen in het Brooklyn Museum te New York.

Abstract

Tracing the identification of art with sexual expression or repression, from the era of the rights movements to the present. It has been argued, most notably in psychoanalytic and modernist art discourse, that the production of works of art is fundamentally driven by sexual desire. It has been further argued, particularly since the early 1970s, that sexual drives and desires also condition the distribution, display and reception of art. This anthology traces how and why this identification of art with sexual expression or repression arose and how the terms have shifted in tandem with artistic and theoretical debates, from the era of the rights movements to the present. Among the subjects it discusses are abjection and the “informe,” or formless; pornography and the obscene; the performativity of gender and sexuality; and the role of sexuality in forging radical art or curatorial practices in response to such issues as state-sponsored repression and anti-feminism in the broader social realm. Artists surveyed include Vito Acconci, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Gerard Byrne, George Chakravarthi, Judy Chicago, Vaginal Davis, Wim Delvoye, Elmgreen & Dragset, Valie Export, Félix González-Torres, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Harmony Hammond, Claudette Johnson, Mary Kelly, Yayoi Kusama, Robert Legorreta, Paul McCarthy, Sarah Maple, Shirin Neshat, Lorraine O'Grady, Yoko Ono, Catherine Opie, Orlan, William Pope.L, Miriam Schapiro, Carolee Schneemann, Joan Semmel, Barbara Smith, Annie Sprinkle, Alina Szapocznikow, Del LaGrace Volcano, Hannah Wilke, David Wojnarowicz. Writers include Malek Alloula, Norman O. Brown, Judith Butler, Douglas Crimp, Angela Dimitrakaki, Michel Foucault, Daniel Guérin, Eleanor Heartney, Jonathan D. Katz, Rosalind Krauss, Julia Kristeva, Paweł Leszkowicz, Herbert Marcuse, Kobena Mercer, Laura Mulvey, Lawrence Rinder, Jacqueline Rose, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Susan Sontag, Trinh T.
