Curating the Godardian institution: agency and critique in film and contemporary art
Get PDFThis essay acknowledges the values attributed to canonical French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard’s cultural production, while offering an alternative analytical framework for his first and only installed moving-image exhibition, Voyage(s) en utopie – Jean-Luc Godard, 1946–2006: A la Recherche d’un théorème perdu (Voyage(s) in Utopia [...] In Search of a Lost Theorem). Evaluating archival evidence alongside certain tendencies within this controversial exhibition’s critical reception, I employ contemporary art histories and feminist reappraisals of Godard’s authorship to re-examine Voyage(s)’ capacity for institutional critique. I show how archival and art-historical analysis of Voyage(s) and its subsequent scholarly reception reveals significant tensions more broadly relevant to film studies, as the field fluctuates uneasily between 20th-century art and film histories, modernist aesthetics and cinematic exhibition, and 21st-century models of interdisciplinary recontextualization, pluralist historiographies and canonical reappraisal. By acknowledging these tensions, I reconsider one of film studies’ most tenaciously defended auteur figures, not as an author, artist or curator but as an institution, ripe for critique itself
