This is Research: Haladyn: Accelerating Duchamp
No full textAccelerating Duchamp is a re-thinking of the modernist artist Marcel Duchamp’s practice in the culture of contemporary consumer capitalism. Specifically, this research project will focus on his creation of the readymade, works of art chosen but not produced by the artist, in relation to both the rationale of consumer society and what is now called neoliberal politics. There are two main outcomes of this project. The first is a book-length manuscript titled Duchamp, Aesthetics, and Capitalism (Routledge Focus, 2019). The second is an international symposium at OCAD University in March 2020, titled Duchamp Accelerated
Disrupting Utopia: Hans Haacke’s Germania or Digging Up the History of the Venice Biennale
No full textThis paper examines Hans Haacke’s 1993 project Germania as a literal disruption of the utopic vision of the Venice Biennale as an international art event, specifically as it relates to the construction of national identity. As Jordan and Haladyn argue, Haacke’s project deconstructs the very foundation of the national identity of Germany that can be traced back to Hitler’s patronage and investment in the German pavilion; for Haacke the only way to undermine this elided history is to physically break up the ground of this exhibitionary space
Psychogeographical boredom
No full textThe Situationist International (SI) belongs to one of the terminal phases in the crisis of culture, which can be traced back to the beginnings of modernity and more significantly the spectacles of the modern city. It is no coincidence that the city functions as the material ground for the critical activities of the SI, with psychogeography representing one of the most prominent manifestations of this critique. This essay examines specifically Guy Debord’s notion of psychogeography in relation to the modern condition of boredom, which, as Haladyn argues, is an ideal affective state for psychogeographical research because it opens modern subjects up to the possibilities of using their alienation as a catalyst for change – a possibility that the Debord and the SI fail to utilize
Bakhtin and the contemporary visual arts
No full textThis paper investigates the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin as a means of critically examining the practices of contemporary visual artists. Directly building upon and critiquing Deborah J. Haynes’ 1995 study Bakhtin and the Visual Arts, Jordan and Haladyn argue for the importance of using the dialogic and carnivalesque in an examination of contemporary art, specifically works that use the body of the artist and/or the body of the spectator as key elements within the work. Artists discussed include: James Luna, Rebecca Belmore, Andrea Fraser, Jannis Kounellis, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Ron Benner
