  Performance GIFs 3: Legacy Russell

  This is the second in an ongoing series of performance GIFs curated by Jesse Darling, which began last week with a work by Maja Cule.

  Social Sculpture: In Remembrance of Poise and a Choreography of Loving You Down, 1:58am, Plastic People, London 
  Legacy Russell

  Social Sculpture: In Remembrance of Poise and a Choreography of Loving You Down makes parallel the histories of social sculpture and the gendered and ritualized cultural practices found in dancehalls or nightclubs. The artist is in her studio, positioned on a chair, dressed in disco shorts and a snug-fitting shirt, indistinguishable from the white background striped in shadow behind her. Oscillating between a cross-legged, poised position that projects the stereotypical poses of flirtation, femininity and nightlife "peacocking," and a collapse that suggests a body exhausted by?or disinterested in?the scene around her, the artist shifts between "visible" and "invisible," "public" and "private," "on-" and "off-stage." Not quite loved, nor ignored, this female body?sculptural in its own right?remains stuck on loop, hoping to be recognized, as INOJ's 1997 hit "Let Me Love You Down" envelops her.

  Picturing --- Pictures

  Lens time with Mona The Louvre, one of the greatest collections of art in the world, is one of the most difficult to visit. The museum is the most popular attraction in France, hands down, and many think they have the secret to a stress-less entry. The Pyramid entrance after 2 pm, or the Carousel entrance -- they both have benefits, but Carousel is my preferred passage. The energy created by

  Oldenburg?s Burgers: Delicious at All Ages

  Posted: 22-May-2013, 1:01pm EDT by Hannah Kim

  

  Cover of What is Contemporary Art? A Guide for Kids by Jacky Klein and Suzy Klein, published by The Museum of Modern Art

  MoMA?s current exhibition, Claes Oldenburg: The Street and The Store, celebrates the early years of artist Claes Oldenburg’s extraordinary career, when he experimented with painting and sculpture by reworking the stuff of every day into larger than life objects made with unexpected materials. Oversized sculptures like the plush Floor Cone (1962) and the papier-mâché “Empire” (“Papa”) Ray Gun (1959) imbue viewers with child-like wonder?and at times, bewilderment?so it?s fitting that Oldenburg?s iconic duo of juicy cheeseburgers would grace the cover of MoMA?s children?s book, What is Contemporary Art? A Guide for Kids.

  Oldenburg?s Two Cheeseburgers, with Everything (Dual Hamburgers) (1962) may look good enough to eat, but as the book explains, they are in fact made of thick cloth covered in hard painted plaster. Authors Jacky Klein and Suzy Klein, a former museum curator and an arts and culture writer, go on to explain that Oldenburg ?loves to make soft things in hard materials and hard things in soft materials.? It?s kid-friendly information that allows adults to have their own second looks at well-known works in MoMA?s collection.

  The book explores a wide range of iconic works from the past 50 years through inventive categories like ?Getting Dressed,? which groups together Joseph Beuys?s Felt Suit (1970) and Vito Acconci?s Adjustable Wall Bra (1990?91), and ?Read All About It,? which features artworks that employ wordplay, like Ed Ruscha?s OOF (1962). Also included in the roster are Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein, Damien Hirst, and Louis Bourgeois, among others.

  

  

  Spreads from What is Contemporary Art? A Guide for Kids

  A short biography of each artist is included, along with prompts asking kids to think about materials and processes,  quotes from the artists, idea boxes that bring important contemporary art concepts to light, and a glossary of key art terms.

  Whether for kids to explore on their own, or for grown-ups looking for some answers themselves, What is Contemporary Art? serves as a great introduction to contemporary art. Download a free PDF sample to check out chapters like “Bizarre Beasts” and “Playing Games.”

  Between Art and Academia lecture performance

  Fetched: 22-May-2013, 6:32pm EDT

  Artistic research takes emblematic form in the lecture performance?a widespread phenomenon on the international art scene of recent years. The genre has its roots in the performance and conceptual art of the 1960s, and balances on the boundary between art and academia. As a hybrid of research, lecture, visual art and performative narrative techniques, the lecture performance as format addresses key questions of the status and potential of art in knowledge society, as well as the mechanisms of producing and framing knowledge.

  Michel de Broin

  Fetched: 22-May-2013, 6:32pm EDT

  To launch the summer season, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) is presenting a critical overview of the work of Michel de Broin. The first major Canadian museum exhibition devoted to this Montréal artist, Michel de Broin brings together some thirty pieces, several of them new and produced specially for this occasion.  The selection of works from the last decade on display in the exhibition Michel de Broin attests to the artist's persistent interest in the notions of resistance, appropriation and recycling. Over the past twenty-plus years, this multidisciplinary artist has continually challenged systems of all kinds and the way they operate.
