Margarita Thatcher de corned beef | Marta Minujín

In 1982, Marta Minujín created the project for an anthropophagic performance, Margaret Thatcher of Corned Beef. The figure of the British Prime Minister was represented in a 17 m high metal structure, made with the same material with which she was characterized: the “Iron Lady”. The image was completed by mounting dozens of cans of corned beef on its exterior and containing cotton inside destined to be burned after distributing the packaged meat to the public.

Marta Minujin is an Argentinian conceptual artist famous for her performance pieces called "Happenings," which she also describes as "livable sculptures." She created her first "Happening" in 1963 in Paris where she had traveled on a scholarship to study. For this piece, she arranged mattresses along the Impasse Roussin then invited other artists, including Christo and Paul-Armand Gette, to destroy her display. Other "Happenings" include Suceso Plástico (1965)—an event that included motorcyclists, fat women, athletes, wedding couples wrapped in tape, young girls kissing audience members, and the artist herself arriving by helicopter to throw live chickens, lettuce, and flour over participants—and Interpenning (1972)—an interactive show at MoMA in New York that required participants to undergo a range of activities and sensory experiences.

Minujin's performances and artworks tackle many themes and issues, from politics to the definition of art to the way we perceive the world. She has won many awards for her work and continues to show her "Happenings" and other pieces at museums, fairs, and galleries around the world. She continues to stand by her belief that "everything is art.

[saw-facts]

your post inspired me so here's who I think certain saw characters favorite artists would be with no explanation at all:

hoffman: george bellows

amanda: paul cezanne

john: osman hamdi bey

lawrence: allan kaprow

adam: marta minujin

lynn: doris salcedo

strahm: caravaggio

oh i like this!! i want to add some:

the eerie quality of henri de toulouse-lautrec's work (at least imo) feels like it'd be appealing to hoffman. along the same vein, i'd say edvard munch too. ALSO FRANCISCO GOYA. im surprised he wasn’t also painting fucked up shit on his own walls.

amanda would love louise bourgeois, ana mendieta, joan mitchell, and eva hesse. i feel like she'd also be really into fiber arts in general (tamara kostianovsky, kiki smith, raija jokinen). also we know she likes some renaissance/stylistically classical art bc she has the birth of venus print next to her bed in saw 3! i think this is more for gay reasons but i bet she'd like john william waterhouse’s mythological paintings.

i love this one for john! the obvious one for him would be da vinci as well- john's drawings actually remind me a lot of his. i think he wouldn't be into abstraction because “it lacks intellect” or some shit. probably dark, dramatic, pensive baroque art.

i feel like lawrence would be into impressionism but NOT post impressionism!!! he'd be so annoying about it. monet, degas, cassat, etc. i also think he'd enjoy botanical illustrations. probably a fan of edward hopper too.

adam would like jc leyendecker. just based on vibes. others i think he'd enjoy include john singer sargent, norman lewis, lee krasner, yoshitaka amano, salman toor, yayoi kusama... these are all over the place uhhhh i just think he'd enjoy a wide range of styles. now ofc he has favorite photographers, but that is not at all my area of study and the only one i could think of off the top of my head that would fit him is robert mapplethorpe.

for lynn, andrew wyeth makes sense to me- the lonely, empty, desolate feeling his paintings give you would probably speak to her :( agnes martin (ESPECIALLY agnes martin) and louise nevelson would probably appeal to her too.

strahm liking caravaggio is basically canon to me. like of fucking course. for one, he'd just loooove telling people that the Old Master painters are the finest of fine artists just bc he's a dick (and doesn't know shit about art made after like the 18th century). but also caravaggio was gay and killed someone and was murdered so. it fits. he'd probably scoff at rene magritte paintings but deep down he'd really enjoy them.

im obsessed with this ask and i've been drafting this response for a hot minute bc i wanted to put some real thought into it. VERY fun and a great way to procrastinate on work as an art history grad student

i keep thinking about two video installations i saw this summer. i don't get an opportunity to see a lot of really good video art in faithful installations from the 20th century so new york does go off in this regard. and for that reason i am pretty interpretively underdeveloped when it comes to video art (basically if i didn't learn about it in feminism class or if it's not technically an earthwork performance or architecture i do not know about it) but in a good way where anything cool that's well exhibited is just insanely exciting and cool and new to me. i'm an extremely effected audience for cool video installation shit especially 1960s-1980s and especially if it's kinda post-pop and goofy in some way. the first thing that i just thought was the coolest thing on earth when i saw it this summer was marta minujin's MINUCODE. another one i can't figure out, maybe you can help, i think it was moma but maybe not. it was roughly 80s, remember thinking Wow Eighties. it was a really really dark, perfectly depriving room with risers facing a bunch of screens and maybe they were tvs stacked up? all showing these i guess maybe fake news clips and sweepers and ads... there was something maybe apocalypse related overtly or implicitly but it was very "tv". reasonably sure artist was a woman. ???

O Melhor do Ano - Exposições

São Paulo é uma cidade pródiga em museus, e como sempre esse ano foi altamente estimulante.

No Itaú Cultural as ocupações do Machado de Assis e Milton Santos, me propiciaram conhecer melhor pessoas que já admirava, além das exposições Os Grafiteiros, a arte de rua e a maravilhosa, Ensaios para o Museu das Origens.

No MASP, as mostras temáticas sobre a arte indígena e a grandiosa retrospectiva de Paul Gauguin.

No IMS as fotos jornalísticas de Evandro Teixeira na mostra Chile 1973, um testemunho dessa triste página da nossa América Latina.

A abertura da Pina Contemporânea, e na Pina Luz a exposição da artista argentina Marta Minujin.

No MIS as imersões nas exposições/espetáculo, do furacão Tina Turner e do rei do Blues BB King.

No CCBB momentos de sonho nas exposições DRIFT e na de Marc Chagall, com o maravilhoso solo de dança.

Terminar o ano em alto estilo na Bienal de Arte de São Paulo, seus meandros e mistérios nos caminhos do Ibirapuera.

A arte salva!

Marta Minujín

Mattress, 1962

What does colour add to an everyday object? 

"The first was a mattress from my bedroom. Once the colours arrived, it was a full explosion of colour. The metaphor is simple: Why not take the language of art to a place where we spend half of our life?" Marta Minujín   

Mattress is a handmade futon stitched by Marta Minujín and painted in bright neon colours. As a familiar object, you can look at the material and imagine how it feels to touch. It’s part of a series of works that the artist started making in 1961, when she lived in Paris. Minujín would take old mattresses from local hospitals or dumps and transform them into colourful artworks. For Minujín, mattresses represent human life and experience, because we spend so much time using them. Can you think of any other everyday objects that should be turned into works of art?
