Abstract

Loin de relire l'histoire de l'art en lui appliquant de façon anachronique le terme « queer », utilisé positivement dans les milieux militants depuis la fin des années 1980, Pour une esthétique de l'émancipation cherche à montrer comment l'écriture de l'Histoire de l'art a minoré l'importance des engagements politiques et affectifs des artistes et rendu inopérante la portée sociale de leurs œuvres. En imaginant des amitiés inédites entre des artistes du passé, Isabelle Alfonsi fait émerger une lignée féministe et queer pour l'art contemporain. Des pratiques artistiques du XXe siècle sont ainsi replacées dans le contexte du militantisme de défense des droits des homosexuel-le-s et de la formation d'une critique radicale féministe et anticapitaliste. Claude Cahun et Michel Journiac croisent l'histoire du minimalisme états-unien, vu à travers Lynda Benglis, Lucy Lippard ou Yvonne Rainer. Les guerres de représentation menées pendant la crise du sida sont lues au prisme des oeuvres de Felix Gonzalez-Torres, du concept de désidentification de José E. Muñoz et de l'activisme culturel du groupe Boy/Girl with Arms Akimbo, dans le San Francisco des années 1980.

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.

Abstract

Sex Ecologies' explores pleasure, affect, and the powers of the erotic in the human and more-than-human worlds. Arguing for the positive and constructive role of sex in ecology and art practice, these texts and artistic research projects attempt nothing short of reclaiming the sexual from Western erotophobia and heteronormative narratives of nature and reproduction. The artists and writers set out to examine queer ecology through the lens of environmental humanities, investigating the fluid boundaries between bodies (both human and nonhuman), between binary conceptions of nature as separate from culture, and between disciplines.00In newly commissioned texts from such writers as Mel Y. Chen and Jack Halberstam and a selection of influential essays?including an annotated version of Audre Lorde's ?The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power??as well as images and sketches from works in progress by a diverse group of artists, Sex Ecologies combines insights from the fields of art, environmental humanities, ecofeminism, gender studies, science, technology, political science, and indigenous studies.00'Sex Ecologies', which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at Kunsthall Trondheim, emerges from an arts-driven research project collaboratively developed between the art center and the Seed Box environmental humanities collaboratory. Conceived not as a result but as a seed arising from this transdisciplinary fertilization, the volume presents a case for the role of sex in environmental and social justice. Co-published with Kunsthall Trondheim (Norway) and the Seed Box (Sweden). "First collection on the emerging field of sex ecology, bringing together established and rising diverse voices from ecofeminism and queer studies to focus on social and environmental justice"--
