Kafka. A Paradigm for the Collective Imagination
Exactly a hundred years ago, lying on his deathbed in the Kierling sanatorium, Franz Kafka was proofreading a short story he had just finished, Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk 1 , which tells the story of a mouse who sings for the mouse folk gathered around to hear her during deeply beautiful and intense concerts.But her mouse singing, Kafka writes, can only come in the form of whistles and squeaks, barely audible sounds.Franz Kafka died …
Une ode qui résonne
« Nous, jeunes artistes noirs travaillant aujourd’hui, allons exprimer notre singularité, notre noirceur, sans peur et sans honte. Si les personnes blanches sont contentes, tant mieux. Si elles ne le sont pas, cela n’a aucune importance. Nous savons que nous sommes magnifiques [...]. Nous bâtissons nos temples pour l’avenir, puissants comme nous savons les faire, nous nous tenons au sommet de la montagne, libres en nous-mêmes. »Souvent cité, le p…
Fascism and the Holocaust. Artistic Representations
The terms fascism, totalitarianism, concentrationary universe and genocide (which was coined in 1944) soon lost their specific, empirical meaning. No longer “substantives”, they began operating as “adjectives” in post-war discourses, especially starting in the 1950s. This qualifying function, unstable by definition, started designating political regimes and practices subsequent to fascism proper, and which were, at first glance, democratic.Fascis…
We'll Stop When the Earth Starts Roaring. The East DRC artists confronting the social and environmental crises caused by extraction
Marlène Rabaud, Congo Lucha (captures), 2019. Courtesy of the artist In the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC], two regions are at the heart of international technological speculation: Katanga and Kivu. These two provinces have diverse cultures, histories and infrastructures, but they are also the country’s largest reserves of copper, cobalt, lithium and tantalum, which high-tech industries depend on for the production of batteries, circuits, cap…
Body and Code
Two seemingly unconnected issues irrigate and shape the field of contemporary art. One of them pertains to the world’s materiality and the way in which artworks fit into it; the other has to do with the technical symbolic systems in which artworks operate. On the one hand, bodies; on the other, code. On the one hand, environmental concerns, which alter the scale of our relationship with artefacts by connecting our experience to times, spaces, and…
The Meaning of Revolt. Race and Visual Culture in Punk Studies
In 101, a documentary about Depeche Mode, young white fans at the Pasadena Rose Bowl call Latino/a/x fans “poseurs”. This incident is mentioned in Richard T. Rodríguez’s book A Kiss Across the Ocean, demonstrating how Latino/a/x fans were symbolically barred from belonging to the recognised audience of British pop music, built exclusively on its relationship to whiteness. This shows that punk/postpunk’s global dimension stretched way further than…
Shaping Criticism in Times of Disaster
Where do you stand on time? This is the ultimate modern question, the question of contemporaneity, of what is contemporary and what this might require in terms of thought and attitude. Art and artists cannot evade this question. Ever since the Romantic era, they have acted as spearheads, constantly on the lookout for signs emitted by the present. Art criticism is part of the same momentum, endeavouring to map the minds, hands and bodies of an era…
Zoe Leonard
Zoe Leonard © Jana La Brasca, avec l’aimable autorisation de Hauser & Wirth Où se trouve Zoe Leonard (née en 1961) ? Est-elle une formaliste convaincue ou une activiste très engagée contre le racisme et l’homophobie, participante de première heure à Act Up et cofondatrice des collectifs lesbiens GANG et fierce pussy ? Prolonge-t-elle l’héritage universaliste du modernisme ou compte-t-elle parmi les initiatrices de l’orientation identitaire postmo…
Art After Capitalism
What would a world after capitalism look like? Can art help us imagine it, or even make it come about? As a concept, postcapitalism started taking hold during the 2010s in the critical debates that followed in the wake of activist movements triggered by the financial crisis: Occupy, and, in France, the Indignés and Nuit Debout. As opposed to anti-capitalism, postcapitalism suggests a renewed ambition: to outline an emancipatory future, beyond act…
Articulations of Autonomy
The topicality of autonomy in the field of the arts has been made manifest by several recent publications, whose originality lies, in part, in their explorations of the relation between aesthetics and the various definitions of autonomy coined by the humanities and philosophy over the past fifty years. Since the 18th century, aesthetic autonomy has been commonly understood as the condition of an artwork’s independence from all external, and parti…
From Eco-anxiety to Resilience
Ushered in by the COP21 (Paris, 2015), the great media comeback of political ecology has translated into the field of global culture as a major shift: the appearance of the Anthropocene -the "epoch of humans" -in public debates. And a particular era it is, the age of human activity destroying the environment. The very concept of Anthropocene, however, is still being discussed. 1 Be that as it may, in the space of just a few years, the threatening…
Landscapes Near and Far
The evolution of the concept of landscape means that it can no longer be discussed without questioning its definition and outlining its meaning. Authors addressing the subject must remember the ambiguities attached to the use of this word and state their position regarding the confusion it entails. According to some, it is elusive, it oscillates “between the object and its representation”, and is “dialectic”. Landscape is a victim of its own succ…
Deculturalisation? Feminisms, Exhibitions and the Return of Carla Lonzi
Since the 1970s, gender studies have stated that the differences between men and women are cultural rather than biological; but the recent return of Carla Lonzi (1931-1982) on the Italian and international art scene, for its part, has unfolded in the name of deculturalisation, a term as elusive as it is charged with ambiguous and radical fascination. Feminism, separatism and consciousness-raising were the paths Carla Lonzi chose for herself from …
The Images of Power
On January 20th, 2021, the live footage of Donald Trump’s presidential aircraft leaving the Washington D.C. airport en route for Florida, whisked off skywards by Frank Sinatra’s deep voice, probably brought relief to many, along with a strong desire to laugh it all away. This – no doubt temporary – conclusion wrapped up a presidential term that ended with throngs of “last men” storming the Capitol, sparking astonishment despite the repetitive dro…
Les Alternatives du passé
Ces vingt dernières années, le « socialisme réel » (tel qu’était souvent nommé le système politique de l’Union soviétique et de ses satellites) est passé du statut d’aspect le plus polarisant de la politique internationale à celui de souvenir distant. En 2017, le centenaire de la Révolution russe a suscité de nombreuses réflexions quant à la Révolution elle-même et à son héritage. Deux ans plus tard, le trentième anniversaire de la chute du Mur d…
Dakar, a Critical Laboratory for African Art
Dakar has seen the development of several initiatives aimed at producing African-centered critical thought, such as the Ateliers de la pensée, which were launched in 2016 by Felwine Sarr and Achille Mbembe; and the creation of several structures and partnerships focusing more specifically on artistic productions. The history of the arts in Dakar – through its institutions and its art scene – has been the subject of a number of publications since …
From Mods to Young British Artists
The United Kingdom's exit from the European Union in 2021 will no doubt continue to generate many discussions surrounding the factors that caused it. The outcome of the 2016 referendum was influenced by nostalgia for a mythologised past as a strong nation, hope for the return of political sovereignty, as well as a powerful rhetoric of border control. Has the British art world, which has firmly established its position on the international scene o…
