Abstract

Series of postcards depicting 100 black, rubber boots in various situations. Photographs taken from Feb. 9, 1971 until May 16, 1973, and mailed between March 15, 1971 and July 9, 1973; not always mailed in the order the photographs were taken. 100 Boots, triumphant, marched into New York's Museum of Modern Art in May 1973, the culmination of a remarkable work that embodied the spirit of generation and changed the meaning of art. Celebrating this extraordinary and innovative postcard series, here is a collection of all 51 installments of artist Eleanor Antin's epic visual narrative. Full of discerning social commentary, 100 Boots powerfully evokes the America of the Vietnam era. The boots begin innocently enough, engaging in everyday suburban activities - going to the market, church, and drive-in movies. Later, disillusioned, they trespass on private property, symbolically announcing their solidarity with the thousands of Americans participating in the antiwar movement. Unable to avoid the draft, 100 Boots too go to war. By the time these legendary heroes arrive in New York, they have become cultural icons, representatives of the new American experience. Like all good art, Antin's ongoing letter to America - whether spilling out of mailboxes or collected in book form - continues to provoke a response.

Abstract

From 1972 to 1991, Eleanor Antin (born 1935) created multiple personae of different genders, races, professions, historical contexts and geographic locations. The artist called this motley group - which includes a deposed king, an exiled film director, ambitious ballerinas and hard-working nurses - her "selves". As the selves' manifestations were as diverse as their stories: some were embodied by Antin and captured in photographs and on video; others had paper doll surrogates; at times their existence was known only trough the drawings, texts and films they had ostensibly left behind. As she explored the fleeting nature of the self, Antin used fiction, fantasy and theatricality to examine the ways that history takes shape, scrutinizing the role that visual representation plays in that process. Multiple Occupancy: Eleanor Antin's "Selves" is the first project to focus exclusively on this critical body of work. Publishers' note.

Abstract

Staged bodies is gewijd aan de talrijke manieren waarop de kunstfotografie sinds 1970 het lichaam ensceneert. De interesse van de postmoderne cultuur voor bepaalde vormen van fictie, hybridisatie en simulatie, leidde tot ingrijpende veranderingen in de benadering van het lichaam. Dit laatste wordt niet langer gezien als een gesloten en stabiele entiteit, maar veeleer als een flexibel projectiescherm, dat toelaat om fundamentele vragen te stellen over representatie, identiteit en de relatie tussen de geslachten. In plaats van een onveranderlijk biologisch gegeven, is het lichaam voortaan een sociale constructie, die we moeten bekijken doorheen het prisma van diverse ensceneringen in bepaalde historische en culturele contexten. In de fotografie komt deze overgang van een natuurlijk en permanent lichaam naar een ideologisch bepaald en modelleerbaar lichaam neer op het loslaten van een documentaire benadering en het vervangen daarvan door een ‘staged photography’, een geënsceneerde fotografie. Deze pretendeert niet langer dat ze de realiteit reproduceert, maar maakt ze tot theater en fictie. Staged bodies toont werk van beroemde kunstenaars als Eleanor Antin, Balthasar Burkhard, Victor Burgin, Lili Dujourie, Valie Export, Patrick Faigenbaum, Nan Goldin, Michel Journiac, Jürgen Klauke, Les Krims, Zoe Leonard, Urs Lüthi, Duane Michals, Shirin Neshat, Orlan, Luigi Ontani, Martin Parr, Cindy Sherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto en Jan Vercruysse.

Abstract

"The group exhibition WOMAN : The Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s: Works from the SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Vienna, unites 450 works by 29 female artists. The history of art showed the 'image of woman' as the product of male projections. In the 1970's, for the first time, female artists themselves created 'the image of woman'. They studied their own bodies and grasped the prospect of determined feminine identities in a provocative, radical, poetic and ironic manner. Curator Gabriele Schor refers to this movement as the 'Feminist Avant-Garde' emphasizing the pioneering and collective role that these artists have played for the last four decades."
