Standort(e): Gender – Bild – Politik. Eine Einleitung
Get PDFHildegard Frübis: Site(s): Gender-Image-Politics: An Introduction Issue No. 44 takes the form of a workshop report to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of FKW. The editors each contribute brief snapshots to provide an illuminating insight into the journal’s future. The FKW editorial team has changed almost entirely since 2004, and accordingly many ambitious ideas exist for current issues. This circumstance was a further reason for conceiving the present jubilee issue as a series of spotlights, in which the current editors each present their perspectives on a wide range of subjects, including art, the image, gender, the cultural and political status of the visual, and so on. The brief contributions should be regarded as a kind of laboratory situation, in which the members of the editorial board discuss their research interests and establish how these relate to feminist issues and also to the current debates on cultural policy.

“[I]”: Functions of the Autobiographical in Art History
Based on autobiographical testimony by Wassily Kandinsky, this paper considers the artist or rather the art historian as an author who cites the artist’s statements about himself. Discussion focuses on the often uncritical approach to such texts in art historiography. Characteristic of such an approach is the prevailing omission of questions about the constructions and functions of artists’ self-statements. Such neglect leads to consolidating the artist as the sovereign and “authentic” originator of his statements, consequently establishing the art historian’s connoisseurship and thereby perpetuating a relationship couched in mythical terms.
