2:08 PM Hylla said... I m still chuckling at Martin s comment. 1:26 AM marc said... On occasion I have students(usually in their early 20 s) whose use of materials and color invites comparisons to and clues from Lynda Benglis pieces. My first question is "Do you know who Lynda Benglis is?". The typical response is "no". Then it gets way tricky for me. After I go into my take on why Benglis is someone to look up, I do a clumsy description of google/artforum hits. Oh well, I have gotten no calls from irate parents or deans, so far.

Idle Hands

Joanne Mattera notices:
Starting chronologically with the sad and shadowed visage of May Prinsep and the confrontational stare of a very butch Mme. Theodore Van Rysselberghe, the exhibition delivers a range of expression and emotion. The bodies are strong and beautiful, or fleshy and imperfect. The sex comes in several different flavors and positions. There's mystery, eroticism , humor, pain. In short, life. The installation delivers these from every angle.

Red Diamond

Joanne Mattera considers that:
PAUL CUMMINGS: Oh, I see. That s right.JOHN COPLANS: She made a feminine response, ostensible in my mind at least, is the fact that women could also be startlingly macho if they cared to be. So there was this image of her with a double-ended rubber penis stuffed actually in her vagina and she was oiled, and she wanted this in the article. I wanted no part of it in the article because we controlled independently what goes into the articles and the illustrations. Finally she came around to the idea of could she have an ad. I said, well, I m not against it. It is not my decision. It is Charles Cowles decision. He, I must admit in all fairness, bent himself in all directions realizing that if he refused the ad, he would be regarded by the art world as somewhat cynical and not the open-ended kind of man in admir ation of modern art that he was claiming to be. On the other hand, he was very reasonably torn by what his family would say, his mother and his sister, if they saw such an ad in Artforum. After all, they were very proud of the magazine and he simply didn t know what to do. He kept appealing to me and I kept saying, you have to make the decision. Finally he said, I will go with it. And I sent it down to the printers and they refused to print it.

Joanne Mattera thinks about it:
Viewlist at Minus Space An inspirational image from my work wall, above. Painter Karen Schifano has created "Bulletin Board: Inspiration Information," a visual essay for which she asked 29 artists to photograph the notes or images that inspire them. "This group of inspirational flotsam and jetsam from our homes and studios is incredibly varied, running the gamut from a poetic quote to the restoration of a house, from the image of a comput er desktop to strips of colored tape on a wall. In some instances, there s a surprising leap from the image seen here to the finished work, in others there is a clear and recognizable relationship." I'm one of the artists. Click on my image above to access the Viewlist page, and from there you may click onto any artist's image to see more. (You may see Schifano's work at karenschifano.com)

Torture Photos

Joanne Mattera can't forget that:
I hear your concerns. If the gallery were one that rarely showed women, I would feel differently. But Cheim and Reid have an impressive roster of artists who are women: Benglis, Bourgeois, Fishman, Holzer, Prieto, Steir, the estates of Arbus, Mitchell and Neel, and a few others; and shows by those artists appear regularly through the year. True, the roster is about 2/3 men, but I do give C&R their props as they regularly mount great shows by the women on their roster, and not just in August. Their big-gun girls are always represented at the big art fairs, too. Actually, I thought this was theme for a summer show.

Joanne Mattera is not really sure about that:

Path Train

Joanne Mattera brings a word of caution:
The Female Gaze , is tame by today's standards, but back then it was transgressive. And then there was the giant dildo. In 1974 a lean and buff Benglis had herself photographed wearing nothing but sunglasses, holding a giant latex phallus between her thighs. The photograph was meant to be part of an Artforum feature on the artist in November that year, but the editor John Coplans (who, excuse me, spent a good portion of his career photographing and exhibiting his own little weenie) and a few of the editors, balked. Benglis and her then dealer, Paula Cooper, placed it as an ad in the same issue. Touche.

Joanne Mattera has another idea:

I said, now this becomes an editorial matter. He said, in what sense is it an editorial matter? I said, we cannot work with a firm of printers who are censors, who decide what can and what cannot go in a magazine, editorially or from the point of view of ads. There was nothing illegal about the ad and I wrote to the printers and said we have a contract with you, an annual contract for us to produce the magazine and for you to print it.

The Wo men: Part 1: "Daughters . . ." at Pavel Zoubok .. If I exhaled at Daughters of the Revolution, I was positively breathless at The Female Gaze, so welcome was it to see so much work by women in just two shows in Chelsea at the same time. . The curatorial conceit at Cheim & Read is to counter the notion of the male gaze by providing a group of works in which "the artist and subject do not relate as 'voyeur' and 'object' but as woman and woman.' " In this beautifully curated show, which spans over a century, 40 female artists--many from their own roster--turn the conventional male gaze inside out. Here there's pleasure in equality versus the longstanding idea of power over passivity.

Heather Snively

However, Joanne Mattera states that:
9:46 AM Chris Ashley said... To be fair, I think Coplans photographic body of work deserves a fair amount more credit than the summary "spent a good portion of his career photographing and exhibiting his own little weenie." Countering "the notion of the male gaze" is more than a "curatorial conceit," but was and is a fundamental conceptual basis for much art made in the 70 s and early 80 s. So, I wonder if Coplans work counters the "Youth Gaze" or the "Old Men Make My Eyeballs Hurt Gaze" by offering really the first frank and beautifully compelling images of an aging male body. And much of that body of work has no weenie in it.

Joanne Mattera thinks that the problem is:
You are right that Coplans was brave to offer images of the aging male body. (One of my favorite images is of a slightly hairy back--possibly his own--with two fists at the shoulders. At first glance it s grotesque, and then it s funny, then untimately it s simply a different way of seeing forms that happen to be different body parts in an unlikely conjunction.)

Joanne Mattera brings a word of caution:
What you see when you enter, above: a small cut-paper work by Kara Walker, Untitled , 1995 (foreground, under the exhibition title); and Deborah Kass, Double Red Barbara (The Jewish Jackie Series), 1993. The two photographic portraits below are also in this room

Jeffrey Donovan

Joanne Mattera remembers that:
:JOHN COPLANS: Oh yes. But I mean that I was sensitive enough to realize that the situation was an impossible situation. Museum shows were decreasing. There was a great decrease in energy. Money difficulties developed. And that we needed to actually overhaul the magazine in some way or another. The situation was brought to a head I think when I had a personal row with Robert Pincus-Witten, who was a close friend, with Robert Pincus-Witten on the one hand and with the editors on the other hand, who wrote a letter impugning me for the publication of the Linda Benglis ad. Now the circumstances of the Linda Benglis ad were again a set of circumstances. I had sent it to Charles Cowles to decide as publisher whether we should advertise it or not.

Joanne Mattera is rather skeptical:

Giant Killer Snakes

Joanne Mattera objects:
Search This Blog Loading... Reality Check: Jackie Battenfield's Interview With Me Jackie Battenfield, a New York-based painter, is the author of the newly published The Artists Guide: Making A Living Doing What You Love . Of course she researched more than could ever fit into the pages of the book, so she created a section on her book's website called Reality Checks , which contains a rich mine of interviews with critics, curators, dealers and artists. And, ahem, her interview with me is one of them. The web versio n appears to start in the middle of the interview, but a PDF version runs the whole thing.

For example, Joanne Mattera considers:

Steve Wynn

Joanne Mattera does a quick recap:
PAUL CUMMINGS: Your are kidding?JOHN COPL ANS: No, they refused to print it. He said, fine, that s killed it. That is one relief. I can now tell the art world that the printers wouldn t print it. I said, now this becomes an editorial matter. He said, in what sense is it an editorial matter? I said, we cannot work with a firm of printers who are censors, who decide what can and what cannot go in a magazine, editorially or from the point of view of ads. There was nothing illegal about the ad and I wrote to the printers and said we have a contract with you, an annual contract for us to produce the magazine and for you to print it.

Vegas Vacation

Joanne Mattera comes with a new idea:

Patricide

Joanne Mattera points out another thing aside from that:
Back in the foyer: another view of Kara Walker's silhouette and, over the desk, Mickalene Thomas, A-E-I-O-U and Sometimes Y, 2009, rhinestone, acrylic and enamel on panel, 24 x 20 inches (each); full view below. Both images from the gallery website

Naval Observatory

Joanne Mattera thinks about it:
The Women: Part 1: "Daughters . . ." at Pavel Zoubok .. If I exhaled at Daughters of the Revolution, I was positively breathless at The Female Gaze, so welcome was it to see so much work by women in just two shows in Chelsea at the same time. . The curatorial conceit at Cheim & Read is to counter the notion of the male gaze by providing a group of works in which "the artist and subject do not relate as 'voyeur' and 'object' but as woman and woman.' " In this beautifully curated show, which spans over a centur y, 40 female artists--many from their own roster--turn the conventional male gaze inside out. Here there's pleasure in equality versus the longstanding idea of power over passivity.

Porch Monkey

Despite the previous arguments, Joanne Mattera has many reasons to think otherwise:

Domino Movie

In contrast, Joanne Mattera replies:
There is some really good work by really amazing artists in this show. But could the women artists not be "gazing" at something else? A show that features women "gazing" at men--or for god s sake, anything else!--would be much more interesting to me.

Joanne Mattera is rather skeptical:
9:43 AM S.A. said... Great post Joanne! I remember well when that ad came out -- it was a huge moment for Benglis (no pun intended). But politics aside -- if that s possible -- Benglis has been a major artist for at least 30 years, consistently making some of the most beautiful and charged objects out there. It s time for a big museum retrospective!....P.S.1?

Moving around the gallery we see a painting by Alice Neel similar in size to the Mitchell. Between them are photographs by Zoe Leonard (also below) and Catherine Opie.

Top Chef Masters

Before going any further, Joanne Mattera wants to get this straight:
9:07 PM Anonymous said... Compliments on the Bourgeois piece. That s not necessarily how I see things as a man, yet I can t help but feel like some kind of a brutish domineering ogre when I look at the piece. I m not sure if I m supposed to have this response, but it certainly makes me reconsider my "maleness" as I m sure it makes a women consider her own gendered viewpoint. A very interesting show, it certainly presents more questions than answers. Casey
