Deborah Kass, the Warhol Project
註釋Artist Deborah Kass makes a bold statement of self-representation and cultural identification when she appropriates Andy Warhol's now-classic formats -- such as the Death and Disaster series, or the Movie Star works -- to challenge the stereotypes embedded in Warhol's pantheon of beauty and power. Kass accomplishes that critique by arranging Jewish, female, and lesbian subjects into Warhol's formats in a complex Form of appropriation involving displacements of cultural icons -- Barbra Streisand for Jackie Kennedy, Gertrude Stein for Robert Rauschenberg, or Cindy Sherman for Liza Minnelli. Through these startling and clever substitutions, Kass questions the existence of a fixed identity of self or culture, while expanding the visual arena of celebrity to include the Jewish body, the feminist body, and the lesbian body. The essays in this remarkable book will focus on the complexities of the Warhol Project where the fields of ethnic history, women's studies, and gay studies come together into one matrix.
