The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1991 - Hardcover
This survey of leading women artists from the late twentieth century examines the crucial feminist contribution to the deconstructivist movement. The practice of deconstructivism, a term describing artwork that examines the imagery of the popular media, was significantly shaped by dozens of important female artists during a critical era in late twentieth-century visual culture. These artists subverted their source material, often by appropriating it, to expose the ways that commercial images express imbalances of power. The mechanisms of power in mainstream art institutions were also subject to these artists' critique. This exhibition catalogue features a diverse group of North American women whose transformative and often provocative work deals with gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, and class-based inequities. Among the artists included in the book are Dara Birnbaum, Sarah Charlesworth, The Guerrilla Girls, Susan Hiller, Jenny Holzer, Mary Kelly, Silvia Kolbowski, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Martha Rosler, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, Lorna Simpson, Carrie Mae Weems, and others. Essays by leading critics discuss such topics as the importance of critical theory and sexual politics in the art world of the 1980s; how domesticity is represented in commercial media and the art that addresses it; the importance of psychoanalytic theory as a critical framework; and the sexualization of inanimate objects.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Dekonstruktivismus, ein Begriff, der Kunst beschreibt, die die Bilderwelt der populären Medien erforscht und eben dekonstruiert, bekommt Kontur vor allem durch eine Anzahl von Frauen, die seit dem späten 20. Jahrhundert tätig sind. Subversiv eignen sie sich ihre Quellen an, um offen zu legen, wie sehr kommerzielle Bilder ein Ungleichgewicht von Macht ausdrücken. Auch die Mechanismen in der etablierten Kunstszene sind Thema dieser Kunst-Kritikerinnen. Der vorliegende Band liefert einen erhellenden Blick auf das entlarvende, oft provokative Werk nordamerikanischer Künstlerinnen, die sich mit geschlechtsspezifischen, rassischen, ethnischen, sozialen und sexuellen Ungerechtigkeiten beschäftigen. Die Bedeutung der Kritischen Theorie und der Sexualpolitik in der Kunstwelt der 1980er Jahre, die sexuelle Aufladung unbelebter Objekte, die Bedeutung der psychoanalytischen Theorie als kritischer Rahmen sowie das Thema Häuslichkeit in den kommerziellen Medien werden in Essays bearbeitet. Mit Werken u.a. von Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson, The Guerilla Girls u.v.m.
