Manifestacje Valie Export w perspektywie recepcji miejsc abiektu

Abstract

Manifestations of Valie Export in the perspective of reception of abjective places The manifestations of Valie Export are analyzed in the light of abject theory of Julia Kristeva as the form to break with the autonomy of modernism through its contextualization in the “expanded field” of public space and widespread conceptual forms proposed by Rosalind Krauss. The works of Valie Export present the social engagement in recycling the clichés of picture tradition and in breaking the tension caused by interpersonal contact with the viewer and participant of her performances. The author discusses the reception of Valie Export’s actions both performed by Marina Abramović in the work taking place in the new spatial context of museum in the static position, and “camped” version of Tapp und Tastkino prepared by Franco and Eve Mattes as a navigation platform in the system Second Life involving her avatar.
