'Doc' (1971)

"You know, there was a time when my trouble was your trouble. And yours was mine."

"Times have changed. It's different. It's different, Wyatt, I'll tell you why. Because I got to learn something. I got to learn that I'm not gonna live forever. And I got to learn that I... I'm sick and tired of killing. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of seeing young kids gun down old men for bullshit reasons. I don't want that anymore, Wyatt. It doesn't make any sense to me, I don't understand it. I wanna... I wanna leave something behind, Wyatt. I wanna live."

Prior to Cameron: Songs For The Witch Woman, October 11, 2014–January 18, 2015 at MOCA Pacific Design Center, the largest survey of Marjorie Cameron's artwork was The Pearl of Reprisal, a retrospective at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery in 1989. The exhibition spanned thirty years, from the notorious Untitled “Peyote Vision” (1955) to Pluto Transiting the Twelfth House (1978-1986), pen and ink drawings that lent insight to the artist’s psychic state at the time.

Before the opening reception, Hedy Sontag introduced a program titled An Evening With Cameron: The Pearl of Reprisal. Sontag screened two films that feature Cameron: Kenneth Anger’s Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954) and Curtis Harrington’s lyrical documentary The Wormwood Star (1955).

After the screening, Cameron emerged barefoot to give a dramatic reading of her poetry by candlelight. Pleasure Dome cast members Samson De Brier and Paul Mathison were among those in attendance. The reading, which was art directed by Sontag, evokes Cameron in her Topanga Canyon studio, deep in thought as she detaches from the lived world and navigates the subconscious. A prolific writer who shared her work with friends, Cameron was private when inspiration struck. She was known to write in her notebook in social settings, fervently and silently; she forbade visitors to her studio, a sanctum where art-making and writing mingled with astrology and occult ritual.

Though the dates of these journal entries and poems are not known, in their language of mourning and invocation, and use of sacred and Romantic imagery, they are of a piece with the notebooks Cameron kept after the death of Jack Parsons in 1952, as well as the verses she recites in The Wormwood Star, which describe the birth of a spiritual child born of psychic union with Parsons.

Notably, Cameron reads prose from Anatomy of Madness (1956) [5:39], a mixed-media folio included in the exhibition and on view at MOCA. Later published in Wallace Berman’s Semina, the text recounts a life cycle of death, rebirth, metamorphosis, and finally, a transcendent spiritual breakthrough.

This never before seen footage, courtesy of the Cameron Parsons Foundation, is a rare document of an artist whose practice had delved further inward, away from the public eye. Due to the quality of the recording, this video has been subtitled. Every effort has been made by MOCA and the Cameron Parsons Foundation to ensure accuracy of the transcription. Please note that the original footage was edited in camera and portions of the reading were omitted by the cameraperson.

Costume Institute Benefit on May 6 with Co-Chairs Lady Gaga, Alessandro Michele, Harry Styles, Serena Williams, and Anna Wintour

The Costume Institute’s spring 2019 exhibition, Camp: Notes on Fashion (on view from May 9 through September 8, 2019, and preceded on May 6 by The Costume Institute Benefit), will explore the origins of camp’s exuberant aesthetic and how the sensibility evolved from a place of marginality to become an important influence on mainstream culture. Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes on ‘Camp’” provides the framework for the exhibition, which will examine how fashion designers have used their métier as a vehicle to engage with camp in a myriad of compelling, humorous, and sometimes incongruous ways.

The exhibition is made possible by Gucci.

Additional support is provided by Condé Nast.

“Camp’s disruptive nature and subversion of modern aesthetic values has often been trivialized, but this exhibition will reveal that it has had a profound influence on both high art and popular culture,” said Max Hollein, Director of The Met. “By tracing its evolution and highlighting its defining elements, the show will embody the ironic sensibilities of this audacious style, challenge conventional understandings of beauty and taste, and establish the critical role that this important genre has played in the history of art and fashion.”

In celebration of the opening, The Costume Institute Benefit—also known as The Met Gala—will take place on Monday, May 6.  The evening’s co-chairs will be Lady Gaga, Alessandro Michele, Harry Styles, Serena Williams, and Anna Wintour.  The event is The Costume Institute’s main source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, and capital improvements.

“Fashion is the most overt and enduring conduit of the camp aesthetic,” said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute. “Effectively illustrating Sontag’s ‘Notes on “Camp,”’ the exhibition will advance creative and critical dialogue about the ongoing and ever-evolving impact of camp on fashion.”

Exhibition Overview

The exhibition will feature approximately 200 objects, including womenswear and menswear, as well as sculptures, paintings, and drawings dating from the 17th century to the present. The show’s opening section will position Versailles as a “camp Eden” and address the concept of se camper—“to posture boldly”—in the royal courts of Louis XIV and Louis XV. It will then focus on the figure of the dandy as a “camp ideal” and trace camp’s origins to the queer subcultures of Europe and America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In her essay, Sontag defined camp as an aesthetic and outlined its primary characteristics. The largest section of the exhibition will be devoted to how these elements—which include irony, humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality, and exaggeration—are expressed in fashion.

Designers whose works will be featured in the exhibition include Virgil Abloh (for Off-White), Giorgio Armani, Manish Arora, Ashish, Christopher Bailey (for Burberry), Cristóbal Balenciaga, Thom Browne, Sarah Burton (for Alexander McQueen), Isabel Canovas, Gabrielle Chanel, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Christian Dior, John Galliano (for Maison Margiela, House of Dior, and his own label), Jean Paul Gaultier, Nicolas Ghesquière (for Louis Vuitton), Edda Gimnes, Molly Goddard, Craig Green, Bertrand Guyon (for House of Schiaparelli), Demna Gvasalia (for Balenciaga), Heatherette, Marc Jacobs, Rossella Jardini (for House of Moschino) Stephen Jones, Christopher Kane, Patrick Kelly, Ada Kokosar, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld (for House of Chanel, Chloé, and Fendi), Mary Katrantzou, Rei Kawakubo (for Comme des Garçons), Bob Mackie, Martin Margiela, Stella McCartney (for Chloé), Alessandro Michele (for Gucci), Erdem Moralioglu, Franco Moschino, Thierry Mugler, Palomo Spain, Marjan Pejoski, Phoebe Philo (for Céline), Paul Poiret, Gareth Pugh, Richard Quinn, Zandra Rhodes, William Dill-Russell, Yves Saint Laurent, Elsa Schiaparelli, Jeremy Scott (for Moschino and his own label), Hedi Slimane (for Saint Laurent), Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren (for Viktor & Rolf), Anna Sui, Jun Takahashi (for Undercover) Philip Treacy, Walter Van Beirendonck, Vaquera, Silvia Venturini Fendi (for Fendi), Donatella Versace (for Versace), Gianni Versace, and Vivienne Westwood.

Exhibition Credits

The exhibition is organized by Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, with Karen Van Godtsenhoven, Associate Curator. Theater scenographer Jan Versweyveld, whose work includes Lazarus with David Bowie as well as Broadway productions of A View from the Bridge and Network, will create the exhibition design with The Met’s Design Department. Select mannequin headpieces will be created by Shay Ashual. Raul Avila will produce the gala décor, which he has done since 2007.

A publication by Andrew Bolton with Fabio Cleto, Karen Van Godtsenhoven, and Amanda Garfinkel will accompany the exhibition and include new photography by Johnny Dufort. It will be published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and distributed by Yale University Press.

As Berlin Grows Up, Legendary Art Space KW Fights to Keep Its Edge

Stroll down a quiet street in Berlin’s Mitte district, pass through a blue door, walk across a cobblestone courtyard, and you’ll find one of contemporary art’s mythological stomping grounds.

It’s here, in the long corridors and cold cellars of a former margarine factory, that a good number of the last quarter-century’s most influential artists—from Susan Sontag and Mike Kelley to Thomas Demand and Marina Abramović—have unveiled radical work, met their collaborators, made their beds, and partied ’til the sun came up.

This is KW Institute for Contemporary Art, the storied kunsthalle that is credited with launching the careers of countless artists. And these days, it’s in the throes of a much-talked-about makeover.

“I wanted to open the space up again—and not just spatially,” explains Krist Gruijthuijsen, as he gazes out the window of his second-floor office onto KW’s courtyard. “In its first years, KW was an extremely open place that was all about community-building; all kinds of creatively minded people gathered here. My goal is to expand on this.”

It’s a biting-cold day in February, and 36-year-old Gruijthuijsen has seven months under his belt as the new director of KW. He arrived in July with a laundry list of accomplishments to his name, including co-founding the curatorial association Kunstverein Amsterdam, a respected stint as the artistic director of the nonprofit art space Grazer Kunstverein, and shepherding exhibitions and publications for artists ranging from Mierle Laderman Ukeles to Adam Pendleton to David Wojnarowicz. But despite his glowing CV, he has big shoes to fill—a fact of which he’s fully aware.

“We’re blessed and haunted by the nostalgic feeling towards this institution,” he says, as we walk down a flight of stairs coated in construction dust toward one of KW’s galleries. Gruijthuijsen is referring to the legendary 25-year history of the space.

It all started in 1990 when a 23-year-old Klaus Biesenbach, the cult curator who today leads New York’s MoMA PS1, posted up in a derelict Baroque building in former East Berlin. Abandoned after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the structure was in bad shape, without heat or a roof. But that didn’t stop Biesenbach and a cohort of young artists and curators from hosting exhibitions, making work, and living in the ragtag compound.

A group of international artists quickly gravitated toward the space, drawn to Berlin for its cheap or nonexistent rent, wild parties in former bunkers, and unrestrained atmosphere ripe for artistic experimentation. Joan Jonas, Monica Bonvicini, Dan Graham, Hedi Slimane, and Joseph Kosuth were early KW regulars, among many others. The Berlin Biennale was born within its walls. And a legendary bar—Pogo—cropped up in its basement, where weekly performances and all-night fêtes raged.

But times have changed since then, and Berlin—and KW in step—have become more polished. “In the ’90s, Pogo was technically illegal and operating without permits. That was part of the excitement around not only the bar, but KW as a whole,” Gruijthuijsen says. “But now it’s 2017, when nothing can operate illegally—at least not for long. So the question I’m trying to answer is: How do we bring back that energy within a structured, funded institution?”

Gruijthuijsen’s appointment, and much of the makeover he’s spearheading, is the result of a 2016 funding influx KW received from the city government, a happy consequence of Berlin’s mayor acknowledging what an “enormous attraction Berlin’s cultural scene offers to tourists,” Gruijthuijsen explains. “The realization provided the government with a reason to invest real money back into anchor institutions and positions—and they recognized KW as one of those.”

Since his arrival, and thanks to this new source of capital, Gruijthuijsen has initiated a slew of “small but radical changes,” he says. As we traverse the space, the structural alterations prove most conspicuous—evidenced, primarily, by the drone of saws and shoring on the building’s third floor.

“I really want the building to breathe,” he says, as he points to how, in each of KW’s five exhibition spaces, his team has re-exposed all of the building’s original windows and removed any superfluous walls. He’s also moved the entrance and added a bookshop and coat room.

For Gruijthuijsen, these modifications not only optimize the amount of natural light and allow for more exhibition space, they also serve to “unify the whole building,” he explains. “In previous years, KW’s spaces have often been divided into small and large galleries, but I wanted to remove any sense of hierarchy. Every artist we present is as important as the other, whether you’re 21 or 75, or you get 250 square meters or 400.”

Gruijthuijsen’s curatorial strategy has long been to encourage parity between artistic practices, “whether emerging, established, or obscure.” At KW, he plans to realize this goal first and foremost through an exhibition schedule focused on solo exhibitions by a diverse swath of artists, instead of concept-driven, sprawling group shows.

His inaugural shows include site-specific work by British sound artist Hanne Lippard, American conceptual artist Adam Pendleton, and South African conceptual artist Ian Wilson, all of which explore communication and its political reverberations—but through distinct lenses.

“I’m an exhibition-maker in the traditional sense, so I want to show and help actualize the projects of individual artists,” he says. “I want to give the building back to the artists, because at KW’s core, it’s a space for and by artists.”

Gruijthuijsen is bolstering this objective with several strategies that aim to bring more of the Berlin community into KW and broadcast the institution’s message well beyond its confines. For one, his team is planning to update the kunsthalle’s Café Bravo, a jewel box of a space designed by Dan Graham in 1999, but in need of some cosmetic work.

He and his team of curators have also conceived of an event series called The Berlin Sessions, which invites one Berlin creative to speak to another who has influenced his or her practice. The series will travel to a matrix of locations around the city, encouraging the expansion and cross-pollination of Berlin’s arts community.

“If we didn’t branch out in this way, it’d be relegated to my KW lens, or my foreign, external, non-German lens on top of it,” Gruijthuijsen, a Netherlands native, muses. “I’m happily naive, and I want to activate aspects of the program in which I’m just a sponge, learning more about Berlin and the community and its history.”

But perhaps the most-anticipated of Gruijthuijsen’s plans is the reopening of the infamous Pogo bar. No amount of history-exhuming could resurrect the basement haunt as it was in its bohemian heyday—but that’s not the director’s intention.

“We’ve been turning over how the Pogo bar can function today. Is it still a techno club in a basement?” he ponders, looking around the dark, stone space that’s already hosted six rowdy (but legal) performances, open to all on Thursday nights. “Or can it be a place for people to be together, a platform where everybody from the community can have a voice?”

By planting the seeds of a multivalent community, Gruijthuijsen hopes KW will draw both international art professionals and Berliners of all stripes. “You can have a very small, dedicated audience to the bar, you can have your professional, culturally consuming audience who attend exhibitions regularly,” he says. “But in the end, I would also love to engage the passersby.”

As word of the changes that Gruijthuijsen has put into motion at KW spreads through Berlin and beyond, his goal appears to be within reach.
