Para conseguir desenvolver esta prática investigo três obras de Pina Bausch, duas de Marina Abramovic e dois trabalhos autorais, a partir de laboratórios e investigações desenvolvidas no “Workshop de Estudos em Reperformance” para artistas e pesquisadores da região metropolitana do Natal, Rio Grande do Norte e em Bogotá, Colômbia. Para desenvolver tal trajetória, foi realizado um estudo reflexivo sobre a documentação de registros, que culminam nas impressões da visita à exposição de Marina Abramovic no Sesc Pompéia, assim como levantamentos bibliográficos a fim de refletir sobre o conceito de reperformance, e breve um mapeamento afetivo da história da performance em Natal no período de 2007 à 2016. / This dissertation describes the trajectory of seven experiments based on studies in which I investigate the possibility of creation through reperformance. In order to develop my practice, I analyzed three works from Pina Bausch, two from Marina Abramovic, and two of my own works from laboratories and researches developed in "Workshop de Estudos em Reperformance" in which I teach artists and researchers in, both, the metropolitan region of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, and Bogota, Colombia. To develop such a course, not only a reflective study on records documentation was held, culminating in the impressions of the visit of Marina Abramovic's exhibition at SESC Pompeia, but also literature surveys was made in order to reflect on the concept of reperformance, in which I identify the need to develop an affective mapping of the history of performance in Natal from 2007 to 2016.

Rituals and repetitions : the displacement of context in Marina Abramovic's Seven Easy Pieces

Tomic, Milena 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis considers Seven Easy Pieces, Marina Abramović’s 2005 cycle of re-performances at the Guggenheim Museum, as part of a broader effort to recuperate the art of the 1960s and 1970s. In re-creating canonical pieces known to her solely through fragmentary documentation, Abramović helped to bring into focus how performances by Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, Gina Pane, Vito Acconci, Valie Export, and herself were being re-coded by the mediating institutions. Stressing the production of difference, my analysis revolves around two of the pieces in detail. First, the Deleuzian insight that repetition produces difference sheds light on the artist’s embellishment of her own Lips of Thomas (1975) with a series of Yugoslav partisan symbols. What follows is an examination of the enduring role of this iconography, exploring the 1970s Yugoslav context as well as the more recent phenomenon of “Balkan Art,” an exhibition trend drawing upon orientalizing discourse. While the very presence of these works in Tito’s Yugoslavia complicates the situation, I show how the transplanted vocabulary of body art may be read against the complex interweaving of official rhetoric and dissident activity. I focus on two distinct interpretations of Marxism: first, the official emphasis on discipline and the body as material producer, and second, the critique of the cult of personality as well as dissident notions about the role of practice in social transformation. It is in this sense that a distinctly spiritualist vocabulary also acquires a political dimension in drawing upon movements such as Fluxus and Neo-Dada, and underscoring the value of the immaterial and the non-productive. Finally, I explain how a reversal of Slavoj Žižek’s tripartite structure of ideology can help to articulate how a repetition of Beuys’s actions in this context actually displaces their cosmological aspect by virtue of the re-enactment setting alone. / Arts, Faculty of / Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of / Graduate

Confrontation: Endeavors in Futility

Barlow, Gabriel Lashley 01 January 2007 (has links)
This paper is intended to compliment and describe the body of work that has been produced within the time I have been enrolled as a graduate student at Virginia Commonwealth University's Photography and Film department. The paper will include information on both my MFA candidacy presentation as well as a description of the evolution of my artistic endeavors. The main focus of this document is to discuss my formal examination of performance based video works pertaining to the absurd as described by Camus, and later expressed by Samuel Beckett, also the role of the masculine body's physicality within ritualized actions.

Performing Kongwu's (空無, Emptiness, Nothingness) attitude towards language, time, and self : responding to Nam June Paik, John Cage, and Marina Abramović

Ho, I-Lien January 2014 (has links)
Since 1950s, the concept of Kongwu (空無, Emptiness, Nothingness) has migrated into American-European experimental performances, including those of John Cage and Cage-influenced artists who developed Happenings, Fluxus, and intermedia practices. This research-through-practice investigates how the concept of kongwu, an intercultural synthesis of Chinese Daoism and Indian Buddhism, may shape the principles underlying performance making and how performance may, in turn, elucidate Kongwu way of making sense the world. The installation-performance, Poem without Language contemplates Kongwu’s distrust of language by undermining the communicative purpose of writing and responds to Nam June Paik’s approach to media language. The research practice, One Street, Three Persons, Different Narratives, and Different Memories responds to John Cage’s use of silence to revise time and measurement, and exposes the habit, how we experience the ‘present’ as accumulations of the past, and how we order experiences as a linear continuity, which we call ‘time’. My performance, … is Present suggests different definitions of the ‘meditative mind’ and ‘being-here-and-now’ and critiques the relationship between embodiment and identity in Marina Abramović’s construction of ‘suchness’. Three works offer one response to the poetics and politics of intercultural encounters in the context of Chan/Zen in intermedia performance. My research-through-practice sheds light on Kongwu way of experiencing, particularly Kongwu’s attitude towards language, time, and self.

Gazing at horror: body performance in the wake of mass social trauma

Tang, Cheong Wai Acty January 2006 (has links)
This thesis explores various dilemmas in making theatre performances in the context of social disruption, trauma and death. Diverse discourses are drawn in to consider issues of body, subjectivity and spectatorship, refracted through the writer’s experiences of and discontent with making theatre. Written in a fractal-like structure, rather than a linear progression, this thesis unsettles discourses of truth, thus simultaneously intervening in debates about the epistemologies of the body and of theatre in context of the academy. Chapter 1: Methodological Anxieties Psychoanalytic theory provides a way in for investigating the dynamics of theatrical performance and its corporeal presence, by focusing on desire and its implication in the notions of loss and anxiety. The theories of the unconscious and the gaze have epistemological implications, shifting definitions of “presence” and “truth” in theatre performance and writing about theatre. This chapter tries to outline the rationale for, as well as to enact, an alternative methodology for writing, as an ethical response to loss that does not insist on consensus and truth. Chapter 2: (Refusing to) Look at Trauma This chapter examines the politics that strives to make suffering visible. Discursive binaries of public/private, dead/living, and invisible/visible underlie the politics of AIDS and sexuality. These discourses impact on the reception of Bill T. Jones's choreography, despite his use of modernist artistic processes in search of a bodily presence that aims to collapse the binary of representation (text) and its subject (being). The theory of the gaze shows this politics to be a phallocentric discourse; and narrative analysis traces the metanarrative that results in the commodification of oppositional identities, so that spectators participate in the politics as consumers. An ethical artistic response thus needs to shift its focus to the subjectivity of the spectator. Chapter 3: The Screen and the Viewer’s Blindness By appealing to a transcendent reality, and by constituting spectators as a participative community, ritual theatre claims to enact change. The “truth” of ritual rests not on rational knowledge, but on the performer’s competence to produce a shamanic presence, which director Brett Bailey embraces in his early work. Ritual presence operates by identification and belonging to a father/god as the source of meaning; but it represses the loss of this originary wholeness. Spectators of ritual theatre are drawn into an enactment of communion/community, the centre of which is, however, loss/emptiness. The claim of enacting change becomes problematic for its absence of truth. Bailey attempts to perform a hybrid, postcolonial aesthetics; but the problem rests in the larger context of performing the notion of “South Africa”, a communal identity hardened around the metanarrative of suffering, abjecting those that do not belong to the land of the father/god – foreigners that unsettle the meaning of South African identity. Conclusion: Bodies of Discontent The South African stage is circumscribed by political and economic discourses; the problematization of national identity is also a problematization of image-identification in the theatre. In search for a way to unsettle these interrogative discourses, two moments of performing foreignness are examined, one fictional, one theatrical. These moments enact a parallel to the feminine hysteric, who disturbs the phallocentric truth of the psychoanalyst through body performance. These moments of disturbing spectatorship are reflected in the works of performance artist Marina Abramovic. Her explorations into passive-aggression, shamanism and finally theatricality and the morality of spectatorship allow for an overview of the issues raised in this thesis regarding body, viewing, and subjecthood. Sensitivity to the body and its discontent on the part of the viewer becomes crucial to ethical performance.

Pilgrim Carnival

House, Kayli 08 1900 (has links)
This thesis explores an experimental music approach to writing autobiography. As a composition, Pilgrim Carnival took place as a travelling series of events. The central event was a sound installation for a blindfolded audience. This essay is a description of that series of events as well as a discussion of similar precedents in interdisciplinary art. Beginning with Luigi Russolo and Marcel Duchamp, aspects of autobiography are examined in both noise music and the concept of the ready-made artwork. Body Art of the 1970s, particularly the work of Marina Abramovic, is also tied into the idea of the ready-made artwork as an explicitly autobiographical example. The hybrid form of Pilgrim Carnival and the concept of ready-made autobiographical music create ongoing potential for new work.

The Performing Female Body: The National Theatre Frankenstein as Performance Art

Gunson, Hannah Mahrii 04 December 2019 (has links)
The National Theatre's Frankenstein is not the first time Shelley's novel has been adapted for the stage, but it is the first time a stage adaptation has returned the popular story to its source material's feminist themes. Departing from the iterations that portrayed Victor Frankenstein as a Byronic hero, Nick Dear's adaptation has re-designed Frankenstein to be misogynistic and calloused. His new nature is best observed in the scene wherein Frankenstein presents the Woman-Creature he's built for his first Creature. She is naked, silent, submissive, and viciously dismembered at the end of the scene. While such submissiveness might justifiably be criticized by a society that has become incredibly concerned for the representation of women in media, this scene has striking similarities to several performance art pieces of the 1960's and 1970's. Building on an understanding of how these pieces function, the Woman-Creature stops being problematic, and becomes poignant. This thesis compares the Woman-Creature's scene to three particular pieces: Marina Abramovic's "Rhythm 0,"Carolee Schneeman's "Meat Joy,"and Suzanne Lacey's "Three Weeks in May."While not a performance art piece itself, this particular scene in Frankenstein has similar purposes, mainly to show the consequences of a social structure that places men as the dominant leader. By not shying away from the visceral nature of these consequences, this production of Frankenstein shocks the audience and reminds them of the harsh realities of the patriarchal structure still seen today.

Die Fremde im Werk von Marina Abramovic, Lothar Baumgarten und Nikolaus Lang - Annäherungen und Transformationen

Kuhlmann, Rosl 10 September 2012 (has links)
Das üppige Spektrum der künstlerischen Methoden von Marina Abramović, Nikolaus Lang und Lothar Baumgarten in ihren Herangehensweisen an die Fremde reicht von spiritueller Kommunikation über Materialexperimente zu skeptischen Worten an der Wand. In drei Kapiteln über die Künstler werden die verschiedenen inhaltlichen Ebenen der Werke und ihre Bezüge zur eigenen und zu fremden Kulturen untersucht. In den Schlussbetrachtungen werden die Strategien der künstlerischen Annäherungen an die Fremde miteinander verglichen. – Nikolaus Lang arbeitete in Japan abseits urbaner Zentren. Er bedachte Objekte von den Rändern der Zivilisation mit „Ritualen der Achtsamkeit“ und fügte sie ein in seine „Japanischen Landschaften“. In Australien spürte er zuerst einer historischen Ockerkarawane der Aborigines nach und bearbeitete dann das Gebiet der Flinders Ranges in Südaustralien in mehreren Dimensionen. Seine Arbeiten enthalten die Schichtungen von Zeit und Raum und mit seinem Werkkomplex „Nunga und Goonya“ fand er eine ganz eigene Art und Weise, „das Land zu erzählen“. – Für Marina Abramović wurde die australische Wüste zu einem „Ort der Transformation“, ihre Erfahrungen dort und ihre Einblicke in den tibetischen Buddhismus nahm die Künstlerin in den Performancezyklus „Nightsea Crossing“ auf. Während ihres „Great Wall Walk“, ihrer Begehung der Chinesischen Mauer, erfuhr sie in besonderer Weise die „Energien der Erde“ und versuchte, diese mittels der „Transitory Objects“ ihrem Publikum erfahrbar zu machen. Ihren Körper mit seinen Energielinien wiederum stellte sie großen Würgeschlangen als „Erde“ in ihrer Performancereihe „Dragon Heads“ zur Verfügung. Tibetische Lamas und Aborigines lud sie für mehrere Werke zur Zusammenarbeit ein, sie fungierten dort als Träger spiritueller Kräfte. – Ein Schlüsselerlebnis in Leben und Werk von Lothar Baumgarten war sein 18-monatiger Aufenthalt bei den Yanomami am oberen Orinoco. Handelten seine davor entstandenen Arbeiten von westlichen Vorstellungen von der Fremde, so thematisierte er nun erlebte Nähe und unüberbrückbare Distanz, zuerst in seiner Anthologie „Die Namen der Bäume.“. Mehrere Arbeiten handelten von schriftlosen Kulturen und mit „Accès aux Quais“ eröffnete er in der Pariser Metro Gleise zu verdrängten Kontinenten. Gegenstand von „Carbon“ waren historische Schichtungen und Prozesse der Landnahme in Nordamerika. – In den Schlussbetrachtungen wird die Auseinandersetzung der drei Künstler mit der Fremde in systematischer Weise zusammengefasst und verglichen. Ergebnis dieser Untersuchung ist die Formulierung gemeinsamer Themen und Handlungsweisen, trotz aller Unterschiede der künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen: Von Vertrautem ausgehen - Vorstellungen von der Fremde / Erkundung und Orientierung / Sammeln und Ordnen / Mythen und Rituale / Die fremden Menschen - Begegnung und Zusammenarbeit.

Le "pour de vrai" et le "vrai" en art performance : fiction vs trace / The "Like true" and the"True" in performance art : Fiction Vs Trace

Lagouarde, Clément 04 July 2018 (has links)
L’art performance est un art contemporain difficile à définir. Néanmoins il peut se décrire par l’action d’un artiste de performance qui, à la différence du théâtre traditionnel, se présente lui-même devant un public, s’infligeant parfois de véritable blessure. Cet art questionne le « pour de vrai » et le « vrai ». En le comparant au théâtre il semble moins fictif car les blessures est le sang sont « vrais », et sa trace (captations vidéos, captations sonores, photographies, objets, croquis, écrits, etc.) le prouve. La fiction et la trace paraissent opposées, là où la première est une invention (le « pour de vrai ») l’autre est un élément pérenne d’une action vécue (le « vrai »), l’art performance permettrait alors de penser ces deux notions non plus comme opposés mais comme corrélatives. L’art performance présente sa trace comme un élément pérenne d’une action plus ou moins inventée : le « vrai » dont la frontière avec le « pour de vrai » peut être questionné. Cette thèse argumente ces hypothèses à travers une première partie comparative entre l’art performance et l’art théâtral, avec comme problématique la fiction qui semble opposée au « vrai ». Et une seconde partie corrélative sur le possible « pour de vrai » de la trace, qui permet l’étude de trois traces épistémologiques : la mémoire, l’écriture et l’indice à travers des exemples respectifs d’artistes de performance. / Performance art is a contemporary art is hard to define but which can be described as an action made an audience by a performance artist who, in contrast to the traditional theater, is the artist himself is inflicting sometimes real physical injuries. This art questions the 'like true' and the 'true' and seems less fictitious than traditional theater because blood’s physical injuries is 'true' and that he uses his trace as evidence (video recordings, sound recordings, photographs, objects, sketches, written, etc.). If the fiction and the trace seem opposed, because the first is an invention (the "like true") the other is a sustainable living action (the ' true') element, performance art then would think these two concepts not as opposites but as Horn related. As performance art, object of study here, presents his trail as a perennial element of a more or less invented action: as the 'true' including the border with the "like true" can be questioned. This thesis argues its assumptions through a comparative part between performance art and theatrical art, with as problematic fiction that seems opposite to 'true'. And a second consequential part on the possible "like true" of the trace, which allows the study of three epistemological traces : memory, writing, and trifle through respective examples of performance artists.
