Susan Fleming, Jack Oakie, and W.C. Fields in Million Dollar Legs
W.C. Fields and Margaret Dumont in Never Give a Sucker an Even Break
Million Dollar Legs (Edward F. Cline, 1932)
Cast: Jack Oakie, W.C. Fields, Andy Clyde, Lyda Roberti, Susan Fleming, Ben Turpin, Hugh Herbert, George Barbier, Dickie Moore.
Screenplay: Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Henry Myers. Cinematography: Arthur L. Todd.
Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (Edward F. Cline, 1941)
Cast: W.C. Fields, Gloria Jean, Franklin Pangborn, Margaret Dumont, Susan Miller, Leon Errol, Jody Gilbert, Irving Bacon, Mona Barrie, Billy Lenhart, Kenneth Brown, Minerva Urecal. Screenplay: John T. Neville, Prescott Chaplin, W.C. Fields (as Otis Criblecoblis). Cinematography: Charles Van Enger. Art direction: Jack Otterson. Film editing: Arthur Hilton. Music: Frank Skinner, Charles Previn.
Was ever man so troubled by his hats? Million Dollar Legs and Never Give a Sucker an Even Break bracket W.C. Fields's career as a movie star (discounting his appearances in short subjects and in supporting roles in silent films and early talkies), and both begin with him struggling to manage a hat. It's a top hat in the earlier film, and it insists on having its own way, culminating in a familiar Fieldsian bit in which it rides behind him on the tip of his walking stick. In the later film, it's a straw boater whose lid comes to grief. Fields had crafted these hat tricks in vaudeville, and they remain one of the most endearing aspects of a potentially unlovable personality. Fields always managed to triumph over his own persona: Although Sucker finds him repellent in aspect, the broken veins of his nose and face unconcealable by any makeup artist, you can't help understanding why Gloria Jean, in an odd curtain line, proclaims her love for him. Both films are the apotheoses of the kind of sublime lunacy that emerged from his imagination, the former a surreal take on the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games, the latter an assault on the movie studios that tried (and usually failed) to stifle that imagination. Although Fields was surrounded in both films with superb comic talent -- Jack Oakie, Andy Clyde, Ben Turpin, Hugh Herbert, Franklin Pangborn, Margaret Dumont, Leon Errol -- they are dominated by him, braving it out through all reversals of fortune that may come his way. The greatest film comedians -- Buster Keaton, Charles Chaplin, the Marxes -- were similarly indomitable. The climax of Sucker is a spectacular car and firetruck chase that owes more to the direction of Edward F. Cline, veteran of the golden age of silent slapstick comedy, than to Fields, but we shall never see his like again.

La polemica del Roberti contro il Goclenius Il teologo Jean Roberti vide la luce il 4 agosto 1569 a Saint-Hubert (nelle Ardenne) e si spense il 14 febbraio 1651.
Ces nouvelles mesures sont tombées comme un couperet et nous plongent aujourd’hui dans un état de désarroi, de vide, de tristesse, alimentant un vaste sentiment d’impuissance et de colère.
Depuis 1 an 1/2, nous essayons d’être solidaires, réactifs, de nous adapter en préservant le désir de créer, de partager avec les publics nos visions du monde, nos œuvres d’art, nos sensibilités. Il y a eu déjà beaucoup de casse. De nombreuses compagnies ont disparu de la circulation, des artistes ont jeté l’éponge, des équipes techniques, administratives entières ont été broyées par la gestion de la crise et plongées dans des situations de grande précarité. L’épuisement est là et ces dernières mesures extrêmement coercitives sont venues alourdir et complexifier une situation morale et économique déjà très fragile.
Nous comprenons le contexte sanitaire et nous avons à cœur de lutter contre l’épidémie. L’art est un moyen d’accroître notre immunité collective, de préserver l’espace du sensible, de prendre soin de l’intime, de se questionner et d’aller vers l’autre, sans relâche. Nous sommes persuadés qu’en créant, en véhiculant des visions du monde ouvertes, multiples, hétéroclites, nous donnons aussi des outils aux uns et aux autres pour se construire, se renforcer, rêver et se projeter.
Mais aujourd’hui, la question du passe sanitaire nous met dans une situation éthiquement insoutenable : il suscite des divisions, beaucoup de violence et d’incompréhension. Parce qu’ils souhaitaient prendre le temps de la réflexion ou tout simplement parce qu’ils n’étaient pas prêts à appliquer cette mesure, certains d’entre nous se retrouvent isolés, ont perdu leur travail, ont dû abandonner leurs projets, leurs partenaires de jeu. Dans ce contexte abrupt (mesures prises en plein été, alors que des festivals étaient en cours, des contrats engagés, des tournées lancées), il ne s’agit plus seulement de s’adapter, de réagir, de chercher des solutions, d’avancer ensemble… Cela nous l’avons déjà fait. Et encore une fois, nous ne sommes pas anti-vaccins, mais nous ne sommes pas non plus des babas cool libertaires, individualistes et inconscients. Nous sommes des artistes face à une crise qui dépasse les enjeux sanitaires et qui questionne notre propre rapport à l’art. C’est à cet endroit, profond, que nous nous révoltons.
Se faire biper pour voir un spectacle, présenter ses papiers d’identité nous apparaît comme l’apothéose d’un système capitaliste outrancier, sans limites. Cet acte de contrôle entre en contradiction avec notre désir de créer, de penser l’art comme un espace-temps ouvert à tous. Entrer dans une salle de spectacle ou aller voir un spectacle dans la rue est d’abord un élan personnel qui doit s’affranchir de toute contrainte. L’espace de la représentation n’est pas un supermarché. Cela doit rester un espace sans code barre, un espace du sensible, du possible, un espace dédié à l’imaginaire, un espace où il est possible de se rendre pour des raisons intimes, profondes, invisibles.
Il devient urgent d’être libre et de pouvoir aller et venir à sa guise.
Et après le passe sanitaire, quelles seront les autres mesures pour nous abasourdir, pour nous diviser, pour nous faire taire ?
Si ces mesures d’urgence sanitaires s’accompagnaient de mesures d’urgence écologiques, d’une mise en place de lois visant à l’égalité réelle entre tous, d’une vision du monde permettant à chacun de manger à sa faim et de bien manger, afin de se constituer une immunité physique, psychologique, mais aussi mentale, morale, intellectuelle et sensible, alors nous serions tous en train de courir pour nous faire vacciner. Parce que derrière il y aurait l’espoir d’une société qui évolue vers de la beauté, de la liberté, de l’égalité et de la fraternité.
Mais nous sommes sans cesse renvoyés à notre propre sentiment d’impuissance, comme à une fatalité. Nous sommes affaiblis par un système qui n’a plus rien de démocratique. A quel moment avons-nous été concertés sur ces mesures ? Leurs enjeux ? Leurs impacts directs sur nos vies et sur celles de nos œuvres ?
Nous refusons aujourd’hui, en écrivant cette tribune, de céder à ce sentiment d’impuissance.
L’art est ce qui permet de rêver à un monde meilleur, d’ouvrir des possibles, mais ce rêve n’est pas qu’un rêve d’imagination, c’est un rêve qui s’accompagne du désir concret de le mettre en œuvre. Un spectacle, s’il n’est là que pour divertir, faire passer le temps, occuper les corps et les esprits, s’il devient un écran entre nous et le monde, comme la télévision, si la puissance du vivant est niée alors il ne devient qu’un spectacle affligeant, au service d’une idéologie libérale dévastatrice.
Si au nom d’une crise sanitaire, la seule solution est la coercition, le contrôle des masses, si au nom du collectif on protège un système consumériste et individualiste avant tout, alors c’est ouvertement le signe que la démocratie est bafouée, sans vergogne, c’est une société qui affiche qu’elle nie l’espace du sensible. Il n’y a rien de collectif, de responsable dans cette attitude. Juste l’affirmation d’une uniformisation qui produit de la souffrance, de la division, du vide.
Nous refusons aujourd’hui cette mesure parce qu’elle est le témoin d’une démocratie en crise, d’un monde qui contraint les artistes, les créateurs, les spectateurs, les êtres humains à se plier pour garder l’illusion d’être libre. Mais être libre, ce n’est pas pouvoir aller au spectacle, boire un café ou faire ses courses en présentant patte blanche. Ce n’est pas continuer à consommer à tout prix. Ce n’est pas tenter de survivre dans un monde qui va mal. C’est vivre dans ce monde, en accord avec soi-même, c’est sentir qu’en créant, en pensant, en se questionnant, d’autres rapports au monde sont possibles et que nous avons le pouvoir de le changer. C’est rencontrer les autres et échanger, laisser les pensées se contaminer les unes les autres, aller vers l’autre sans avoir la peur au ventre d’être rejeté.
L’acte de créer échappe à tout contrôle. L’espace de jeu est un espace de remise en question qui doit rester sain, prometteur, rempli d’espoir.
Le passe sanitaire est une horreur parce qu’il nous éloigne les uns des autres sous couvert de nous protéger d’un virus.
La véritable maladie aujourd’hui c’est la peur et l’état de faiblesse dans lesquelles les êtres sont maintenus et une lente mais mortifère déshumanisation de toute relation au monde, à l’autre et à soi-même

querido Jean às vezes penso em Walter e em quantas vezes esteve desesperado e em quantas vezes funcionou ao lado da vida. quantos tempos desperdiçados embaixo da cama, no meio dos lençóis e quantos em cima da escrivaninha segurado por uma felpa de ânimo direto no pescoço como um soro em uma enfermaria. é normal isto que tento atribuir àqueles seres humanos inconfundíveis? o que é ser inconfundível? tenho dificuldades de sair dessa. cada vez que acho que vou retorno três casas. guardo ressentimento e Otávio, rancor de Inácio, raiva de Elana, ou na verdade de como tratei minha questão da Elana portanto de mim mesmo, preguiça de Matilde e assim por diante. tento escrever aos amigos que não existem mais. você que quase foi meu amigo mas o destino não quis é o primeiro que começo e me sinto mais a vontade. sempre estávamos em cidades diferentes, com humores diferentes, em situações amorosas inversas, onde tu já tinhas passado e cansado eu estava preparando o mergulho sem intrumentos, e as cartas, e as mensagens, se perderam sem entregadores hábeis. sempre te considerei um amigo desde a primeira vez que te vi na escola pois tinha uma cara engraçada para a idade como se fosse muito bonito dali dez anos, como se fosse um velho rejuvenescido e não te incomodavam os cabelos cacheados como os meus me incomodava, que tu mesmo cortava, dava para ver, pois tu não te importavas com isso, tu que tinhas um nome estrangeiro que parecia um tipo de calça, Jean, Jeans, e me lembrava os nomes dos meninos mortos na televisão, assim como Roberty, Uelignton, Jean, mas só lembrava no nome já que viemos eu e tu dá mesma falsa ascendência da classe média orgulhosa. não nos falamos, não nos seguimos nas redes sociais, mas leio teus livros e volta e outra me vejo pensando em que tipo de conselho tu me darias, em que tipo de puxão de orelha, e em como sem sempre soube como te queria na minha vida apesar de nossa intimidade imediata e mesmas zonas de interesse: distante porque já perto demais. eu escrevo ao amigo que nunca tive na prática porque a amizade para mim está sendo impossível. virei uma pessoa sem perdão. acho que a pior coisa que um ser pode perder é sua capacidade de imaginar a própria morte, a vida era diferente quando fantasiava com o suicídio, perdi isso, e não tenho para onde fugir. não quero morrer porque não quero viver, faz sentido? a intensidade sempre foi minha mina de diamantes, uma mina perigosa para se passar mais de algum tempo, e para ti, a terra sempre te trouxe a estabilidade nas perguntas. não quero ser a resposta para nada, ninguém, nem para mim. uma pessoa pode perder o amor por tudo que é próximo e sentir um amor extraordinário pelo mundo, pelos povos, pelos seres vivos? isto talvez seja demais para ti. não sei como esta mensagem vai te encontrar. sou uma pessoa doente, li nos mapas, a ultima vida passada foi difícil. penso muito no karma, onde ve-jo onde o crio. tenho medo é do além da vida, Jean. uma vez uma pessoa que eu queria passar mais tempo junto me perguntou porque não escrevo romances nem você. não lhe disse a verdade: precisava que alguem me quisesse já que eu nao quero nada por muito tempo. precisava que aquela pessoa me desse uma minima estabilidade ou que varias pessoas assim me desse já que eu não me dou. e claro, tem a atrite. a venus em aries sempre será um problema, eu penso. e encerro essa carta tímida onde usei o nome do amigo que não tenho apenas como forma de não existir em um mundo a mais.
Maître de conférence titulaire / Chercheuse / Docteure en architecture
Céline Bodart est architecte, diplômée de l'Université de Liège en 2010 ; diplômée du DPEA, spécialisation en "Architecture et Philosophie" (ENSA Paris-La-Villette) et du Programme d’Expérimentations en Arts et Politiques (Sciences Po Paris) ; docteure en architecture depuis décembre 2018, thèse présentée en co-tutelle entre Université de Paris 8 et ULiège. Actuellement, elle travaille comme assistante à la faculté d'architecture de l'ULiège et comme maître-assistante associée à l'ENSA Paris-La-Villette (Gerphau, EA-7486). Elle est également membre de la commission technique d'Europan Europe depuis 2016.
Ses recherches doctorales ont portées sur les conditions de rencontres possibles entre pratiques architecturales et philosophiques, à partir d'une étude renouvelée d'un épisode singulier de l'histoire récente de l'architecture : la rencontre entre la déconstruction derridienne et la culture architecturale anglo-américaine de la seconde moitié du 20e siècle. En recomposant comment se raconte cette rencontre depuis différentes situations d'énonciation, il s'agissait non seulement de mettre en avant comment des réceptions et appropriations culturelles variées conditionnent des poursuites théoriques spécifiques, mais également d'investir l'écart entre ces différentes versions d'une même histoire par la mise en traduction de certaines traces écrites ayant participé à sa mise en récit (Wigley 1993; Kipnis 1997). Actuellement, ses recherches se poursuivent à travers la question de la pluralité des genres d'écriture en architecture, privilégiant l'expérimentation de nouvelles formes de traduction par et pour la ré-invention de ses pratiques théoriques : comment les pratiques de traduction permettent-elles de se remettre au travail de l'histoire et devenirs de l'hospitalité des discours de l'architecture, en vue de réinterroger et réengager ses manières de prendre part aux enjeux du monde contemporain ?

La última ocurrencia de Maurizio Cattelan vuelve a poner de actualidad la polémica relación entre arte y provocación
Por
Francisco R. Pastoriza
-15/02/2020
La imagen se hizo viral a través de las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación de todo el mundo. Tres versiones de una misma obra, un plátano amarillo pegado a una pared con cinta adhesiva gris, habían sido vendidas el pasado diciembre por 120 000 dólares cada una durante la Feria Art Basel de Miami.
La obra era original del artista italiano Maurizio Cattelan, famoso por haber sorprendido y escandalizado con montajes e instalaciones como maniquíes de niños ahorcados, el Papa Juan Pablo II derribado por un meteorito, Hitler con cuerpo de niño rezando o el retrete de oro macizo en el que se invitaba a la gente a defecar.
No es la primera vez que una obra de arte contemporánea escandaliza a los espectadores. Recordemos los excrementos enlatados de Piero Manzoni con el rótulo “Merde d’artiste” que la Tate Gallery compró por más de 30 000 euros la pieza, los cuadros de Andy Warhol, Rauschenberg y Chris Ofili pintados respectivamente con orina, basura y boñiga de elefante, la chaqueta de piel de Jim Hodges tirada en una esquina, los globos de Friedman unidos por cuerdas de las que cuelgan un par de calzoncillos, la pelota de baloncesto flotando en un tanque de agua, de Jeff Koons… una cadena interminable de obras protegidas bajo la etiqueta ‘arte contemporáneo’ que para asombro de muchos alcanzan importantes cifras de ventas en subastas y galerías.
El plátano de Cattelan, titulado Comediante (los títulos de las obras de estos artistas son merecedores de un comentario aparte), es al mismo tiempo, según Emmanuel Perrotin, asistente de Cattelan, que lo compró en una frutería de Miami, “un símbolo del comercio global y un artefacto para el humor”.
Con Duchamp llegó el escándalo
Escandalizar a través del arte no es nada nuevo. Los impresionistas ya provocaron a los academicistas franceses en los años finales del siglo diecinueve cuando decidieron organizar la primera exposición de sus obras al margen de los salones oficiales.
El punto de inflexión en lo contemporáneo se sitúa en Fontaine, el urinario de pared modelo Bedfordshire que Marcel Duchamp firmó en 1917 con el seudónimo R. Mutt, y que llegó a estar unos días en la Exposición de Independientes celebrada ese año en Nueva York, de la que fue retirado por ofensivo y vulgar por los organizadores de la muestra, aunque su huella se prolongó a lo largo de todo el siglo veinte e inició un debate que no ha parado desde entonces, el que trata de responder a la pregunta “qué es el arte”.
Durante el siglo veinte hubo tres grandes fracturas con el viejo mundo anterior, que explican la aparición del arte y la cultura actuales. La primera tiene que ver con esa iniciativa de Marcel Duchamp, la ruptura de las vanguardias con los códigos del clasicismo y el arte burgués, que dio lugar a la aparición del arte contemporáneo. La segunda llegó con la revolución de Mayo del 68, que resquebrajó las normas de la vida cotidiana, los valores en los que se asentaba la burguesía y las relaciones entre los sexos. La tercera fractura, la económica, se inició en los años setenta con la crisis del petróleo y los procesos de desregulación en todos los ámbitos.
Todas estas convulsiones llevaron al arte y la cultura a una nueva situación que Gilles Lipovetsky y Jean Serroy han bautizado como cultura-mundo (La cultura-mundo. Respuesta a una sociedad desorientada. Anagrama) que muestra el estado actual de la cultura y el arte en la era de la globalización en función de cuatro valores universales en alza: el capitalismo, la tecnología, el individualismo y el consumismo.
Esta nueva cultura ha desvanecido más que ninguna otra los límites entre la alta cultura y la cultura comercial, entre el arte sublime y el arte de consumo; las fronteras que separaban el cultivo del espíritu, de la banalidad con la que hoy se rellena el ocio de los ciudadanos. Una cultura en la que lo comercial es reconocido como cultural mientras que manifestaciones antaño auténticamente culturales como el arte y la literatura se han insertado en el comercio y obedecen a reglas de la economía.
A diferencia de los clásicos, los artistas y escritores de hoy tienen como objetivo ganar dinero y ser célebres. Buscan más la popularidad mediática que la gloria inmortal porque es la celebridad lo que hace subir la cotización de sus obras. Lo que parecía que debía escapar al mercantilismo (el mundo de la creación y la belleza), se hace cada vez más comercial y mediático, sustentado por las estrategias del espectáculo y la seducción. La nueva cultura y el arte nuevo llegan envueltos, además, en la retórica de la simplicidad, no exigen apenas esfuerzo para ser comprendidos. Han nacido para proporcionar una evasión fácil, para divertir.
La cultura y el arte han adquirido mayor protagonismo cuando se han revelado como producciones rentables en todas las economías (en EE.UU., la más rentable), hasta el punto de ser uno de los objetivos prioritarios de las industrias nacionales. Como añadido, el maridaje entre la tecnología y el neoliberalismo económico ha dado como resultado un productivismo desenfrenado y una comercialización ilimitada de productos culturales de consumo, lo que ha hecho saltar las alarmas de las economías más débiles y las ha llevado a elaborar normas para protegerse de la colonización de los productos culturales extranjeros. Europa tuvo que aprobar leyes de excepción cultural para frenar la invasión de productos audiovisuales norteamericanos promocionados a través tanto de las viejas como de las nuevas pantallas.
En su ensayo París-Nueva York-París. Viaje al mundo de las artes y de las imágenes (Acantilado) el intelectual francés Marc Fumaroli también advierte del consumismo, que se ha instalado como ideología dominante y ha devorado el arte contemporáneo, convertido en un engranaje más de la producción industrial y comercial, en una rama del entertainment; un arte comercializado con la etiqueta “contemporáneo” que liquidó las enriquecedoras aportaciones del expresionismo abstracto de Pollock, de Rothko, de De Kooning y de Newman. Se trata, dice Fumaroli, de una versión industrial y bursátil de un dadaísmo aburguesado, una mercancía comercial, un mero sector del mercado realizado por artistas que pretenden subvertir todas las artes sin saber dibujar, ni pintar, ni esculpir, ni bailar, ni cantar… inversión caricaturesca del hombre desalienado de Marx y de su empleo del tiempo libre.
Lo dramático, dice Fumaroli, es que autoridades e instituciones fomenten su presencia y cedan sedes como el Louvre, la capilla de La Sorbona o el Palais Bourbon para sus instalaciones y exposiciones, facilitando la invasión de los museos por los contenidos del supermercado. Gracias a este tipo de actitudes algunos se han instalado en el mundo del arte como los sucesores de Van Gogh, los Leonardos de la cultura global, cuando, dice Fumaroli, no son más que el capricho de una ínfima minoría de multimillonarios. Producen un arte cuya posesión sólo se pueden permitir los nuevos ricos de la economía global, a remolque de las industrias de la publicidad y de la cultura-entretenimiento, un subproducto del gran comercio del lujo del que se enorgullecen los banqueros y los magnates y que ha venido a suplantar los valores creativos de los auténticos artistas mientras las obras maestras de los museos ya no dicen nada a las masas.
La deriva del arte contemporáneo
Desde los años cincuenta del siglo veinte, el momento en que Yves Klein inició el movimiento de arte conceptual con la presentación en París de su exposición Vacío, que dio lugar a los ‘happening’, las ‘performances’, el Land art y las antropometrías de los body painting (en las que Klein utilizaba como pinceles cuerpos desnudos de mujeres untados con pintura azul), el ingenio y la provocación se han convertido en los grandes protagonistas del arte contemporáneo, al que se asiste entre el interés, el asombro y el escepticismo.
Una de las obras más conocidas y polémicas es un tiburón conservado en formol al que su autor, el artista británico Damien Hirst, tituló La imposibilidad física de la muerte en la mente de alguien vivo. El magnate de la publicidad y coleccionista de arte Charles Saatchi lo vendió por doce millones de dólares al millonario Steve Cohen, quien lo donó al Museo de Arte Moderno (MoMA) de Nueva York. A los pocos meses hubo que sustituirlo por otro ejemplar, ya que el original se descomponía. Otra obra de Hirst, Por el amor de Dios, una calavera con 8600 diamantes incrustados, fue en su día la obra de arte más cara de un artista vivo: cincuenta millones de libras.
El Premio Turner, que se falla cada año en Inglaterra, se ha convertido en uno de los más esperados y polémicos: es el que ha encumbrado la cama deshecha de Tracey Emin, las obscenidades sexuales de Paul McCarthy, el caballo muerto de Berlinde de Bruyckere o la habitación con una luz que se apaga y se enciende de Martin Creed.
El 29 de mayo de 2014, durante una performance, Deborah De Robertis se sentó en el suelo, desnuda y con las piernas abiertas, justo debajo del cuadro “El origen del mundo” de Gustave Courbet, que cuelga en el Museo D’Orsay de París, y abrió con las manos su sexo a las miradas del público. Su objetivo: eliminar la distancia artística entre la obra de Courbet y los espectadores. Al año siguiente la misma artista se desnudaba delante de la “Olympia” de Manet, que presenta el cuerpo desnudo de una prostituta.
El efecto sorpresa que persigue el arte contemporáneo ha dado lugar a situaciones sorprendentes, como cuando en octubre de 2015 la mujer de la limpieza de un museo de arte moderno de Bolzano (Italia) envió a la basura una instalación de Sarah Goldschmied y Eleanora Chiari formada por botellas vacías, cajetillas de tabaco vacías y confeti pisoteado que simbolizaban, según las artistas, el fin del consumismo y la especulación financiera. O la creencia de que el apuñalamiento de una mujer durante la Art Basel de Miami en diciembre de ese mismo año fuese tomada por una performance al haberse producido frente a una instalación titulada “The Swamp of Sagitarius” de la artista Naomi Fisher. Una de las más dramáticas fue la escena del asesinato a tiros del embajador de Rusia en Turquía, Andrey Karlov, durante la presentación de una exposición en una galería de arte de Ankara mientras los asistentes pensaban en un primer momento que se trataba de otra representación.
En fin, y para cerrar el ciclo, volvamos al urinario de Marcel Duchamp, del que actualmente existen quince copias distribuidas por todo el mundo. Entre 1993 y 2006 los artistas Kendell Geers, Brian Eno, Björn Kjelltoft, Yan Chai, Jian Jun Xi y Pierre Pinoncelli, se dedicaron a visitar esos urinarios de Duchamp para reactivar su impulso: se trataba de orinar en ellos, convertirlos en artefactos del utilitarismo.
También el plátano de Cattelan tuvo un destino utilitario cuando el artista performativo David Datuna arrancó uno de los modelos de la pared en la que estaba pegado y se lo comió. Claro que, para que quedase constancia, tuvo el detalle de grabar su “performance” y colgarla en internet para que todo el mundo pueda verla: su reproducción viral le proporcionará unos cuantos miles de dólares más.

INTERVIEW GIRL GANG - #7 ALL INCLUSIVE - Montpellier
https://www.actupparis.org/
Un rdv autour d'un apéro dînatoire pour une rencontre fort sympathique avec un groupe de femmes qui se sont réunies dans une nouvelle entité pour dénoncer toutes formes d'injustice par la performance.
Et qui nous répondent sous des pseudos d'animaux Totem pour chacune d'entre elles : Le Phoenix , La Chatte, le Tigre Blanc, La Lionne, le Lion Blanc et La Louve.
Septième portrait de la série dédiée aux girl gangs s, voici le collectif ALL INCLUSIVE !
Pouvez-vous présenter All Inclusive en quelques mots ?
All inclusive est un collectif de femmes artistes multidisciplinaires qui propose des actions ponctuelles engagées sous forme de performances, d’événements ou happenings.
Quels sujets vous inspirent ?
Formé d’abord sur les questions d’égalité et de respect des droits des femmes, le collectif s’est très vite penché sur les droits des humains en général sans distinction de genre, de couleur, de religion, de sexualité etc tout en tirant la sonnette d’alarme sur l’état de notre planète
Que pensez-vous de la place de ces sujets dans la société et trouvez-vous qu’ils sont bien représentés?
Nos représentants sont encore trop des archétypes de l’homme blanc hétérosexuel. Nous devons imposer la diversité. L'urgence se fait ressentir de s'emparer d'une manière plus citoyenne des questions sociétales, politiques et écologiques,
On parle souvent des discriminations que subissent une catégorie de la population, Vous sentez-vous investi-e-s d’un rôle par rapport à ça ?
Oui, complètement. Nous sommes un collectif de femmes engagées chacune à notre façon depuis de nombreuses années contre toute forme de discrimination avec des valeurs humanistes.
Pouvez-vous nous raconter ce qui est pour vous une personne sensibilisé.e ?
Le Phoenix : - Une personne qui connaît l’histoire du mouvement féministe et du mouvement LGBTQ++, les combats menés, les droits obtenus et les luttes restant à mener. Et de faire de la préservation de Gaia une affaire d'honneur.
La Chatte : - C'est une personne qui a une réaction épidermique face à une injustice sous toutes ses formes et qui ne peut rester indifférente à celle-ci

- La Lionne : Nous sommes INCLUSIVE mais pas exclusive dès qu'un sujet nous irritera nous penserons à réagir de façon instinctive
La visibilité de ce genre de performance politique a bien évolué en quelques années. Comment percevez- vous ce mouvement de la Rue qui secoue un peu les choses ?
Il y a des mouvements citoyens de rue qui la remette au centre de l'actualité avec plus ou moins d’écoutes et de réussites, il faut veiller que cela englobe d’autres causes. Et les performances politiques de personnes comme Déborah de Robertis, Pussy Riot, Femen, ou Megumi Igarashi ou Act Up, à l’époque notamment nous touchent et validons leurs actions
Quels sont pour vous les tabous à dénoncer ?
Nous devons dénoncer la norme ! Nous sommes toutes et tous différents, A notre petit niveau nous pouvons juste mettre la lumière sur ses points qui nous bloquent et modifier leurs états de conscience
Quels sont vos moyens d’actions?
Nous agissons avec nos fonds propres avec beaucoup d'huile de coude. Nos idées se concrétisent tout d'abord par un visuel de base commun à toutes nos perfs et nous utilisons l'image, la musique, le texte et le geste vers le public qu’on associe toujours à nos performances

Deborah de Robertis avec sa performance "Naked Pussy" (à la Galerie Xippas de Paris) a répondu aux "Naked War" (photographies des Femen) de Bettina Rheims. Elle a maculé de sang une Femen shootée par la créatrice. En guise de prolongation la performeuse a adressé une invitation (et non une provocation) à la photographe : « j’invite Bettina Rheims à me photographier et contrairement à la tradition, le modèle serait l’auteur de l’œuvre ». La performeuse se revendique avec raison aux travaux d’Ana Mendieta. Elle fut la première à dénoncer les violences faites aux femmes par les auto-maculations de sang dans ses photos et ses performances. Deborah de Robertis reprend son geste avec le sang des menstruations pour redonner aux femmes leur pulsion de vie et aux images une valeur politique. Il s’agit de provoquer une rupture dans l’idée d’impureté des liquides féminins.
La créatrice pousse Bettina Rheims dans ses retranchements et lui demande de se situer en tant qu’artiste, femme et sœur de lutte face à son travail. Nul besoin de reconnaissance égotique mais un appel à celle que la performeuse nomme « la seule artiste vivante sur laquelle je travaille ». Bettina Rheims (auteur récemment de « Détenues » - Gallimard) est a priori plus qu’une autre apte à comprendre ce travail. Le pouvoir d'humiliation que porterait le sang menstruel y est sublimé.
Certes Deborah de Robertis émet un doute quant aux avancées de la photographe : « Si Bettina Rheims a été visionnaire sur de nombreux sujets comme le genre et la transsexualité, les images présentées au Quai Branly ressemblent plus à des photos d’arrière-garde, dignes de la vieille presse féminine. (…° Quel est le statut de ces images? » écrit-elle. Implicitement l’artiste a déjà répondu à de telles images « léchées » par sa performance. Elle y a montré non une indécence humaine mais la décence féminine qui se refuse à demeurer la prétendue martyre d’elle-même. Il y a là la rupture avec l’imagerie, la psychologie traditionnelles, ce qui est pris pour le sordide et la soumission. Si bien que le dernier homme de l’histoire serait une femme libérée et non réprouvée. Attendons la réponse de la photographe.
