EXQUISITE FUCKING BOREDOM Polaroids by Emma Bee Bernstein May 24 – June 25, 2012 (EXTENDED TO JULY 2) Curated by Phong Bui Opening Reception Thursday, May 24, 6-9pm Microscope Gallery is very pleased to present Exquisite Fucking Boredom, Polaroid images by artist/writer Emma Bee Bernstein (1985-2008). With intimate as well as often staged photographs of the artist and her close friends, Bernstein – who committed suicide in Venice, Italy at the age of 23 – transforms the spontaneous, on-the-spot Polaroid aesthetic into a generational portrait of hyper-self-conscious, passionately alluring young women and men taking on adulthood with deadly serious abandon. The more than 200 photographs in Exquisite FuckingBoredom were taken during Bernstein’s college years, 2003 to 2007 and have never before been seen. The photographs have been assembled from Bernstein’s personal archive and private diary notebooks, which will also be on view.

Bernstein who earned a BA in Visual Arts and Art History from the University of Chicago writes, “The perfect projection of the internal imagined self, if it exists, only does so for the duration of the photographic performance.” Bernstein is indebted to the photography of Robert Mapplethorpe, Andy Warhol, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Francesca Woodman, and Cindy Sherman. Her works are marked by an acute awareness of the fleeting and temporary nature of existence. The Polaroid series are just one of several bodies of photographic works by the artist who also worked with 35mm film and digital formats.

“… [Bernstein's work] is consistent in tone, with an atmosphere of tension, verging on discomfort though interlaced with humor, and a guardedness that never relaxes.” — Holland Cotter, The New York Times

Bernstein’s short film Exquisite Fucking Boredom (2006) also will be shown during the course of the exhibit. And, film-maker Henry Hills will preview on June 18 a new 80-minute version of Emma’s Dilemma, a film that documents Bernstein’s adolescent years (1997-2002), and features her conversations with Carolee Schneemann, Jackson Mac Low, Ken Jacobs, Richard Foreman, Keith Sanborn, Lee Ann Brown, Susan Howe, Kenneth Goldsmith, and others.

Polaroids, tattoos and Paris.

Photography

Raul Diaz, Polaroid genius and general badass exhibited alongside buddy Thibault Tourmente at Galerie L’oeil du Prince in Paris this week.  As all sequels strive to do, the second installment of Ceremonie de L’instant took it up a notch – fancy getting a tattoo in the middle of a gallery anyone? The exhibition itself was as always, stunning, dirty, naughty and downright beautiful.

LYRICS Every bigot shut up (x 2) Hey hey hey (x 3) Boy you'd better quit all your sexist ways  So hear our manifesto of the modern age. It's time to undermine The masculine confines Coz we don't wanna grind,  Gri-ii-iind. You think that you're so slick, Let me emasculate ya! Because your precious dick Can't beat my vibrator. We're feelin' the frustration From all the exploitation. Prepare for your castration. (Chorus) So we can fuck this man's world, With all its bullshit, Girls don't deserve it. We ain't good girls: We are scholastic, Smart and sarcastic, Not fucking plastic. Listen mankind! If you wanna get nasty, Just don't harass me:  You can't just grab me. That's a sex crime! Yeah we don't want it - It's chauvinistic. You're such a bigot! What you see on tv Doesn't speak equality, It's straight up misogyny. Don't want you to come on my face! You think you're hunky (hey hey hey) You wanna hug me (hey hey hey) Don't you mean fuck me? One thing I ask of you: Don't assume that we all just wanna screw. Gotta respect me for me to be your boo. We don't want no scrubs, no we don't approve. Need a universal role reversal, In real life not a dress rehearsal. Gotta resist all the gender roles, Time to put misogyny on parole, Put exploitation on probation, Time for you to witness our liberation! There's more to life than penetration, And sexual discrimination. So tonight we ignite our civil rights, Resist chauvinism, Win the fight, Coz you're livin large just like a montage Of you and your friends actin' out Entourage. But we ain't whores to do your household chores, To make you a sandwich when we're on all fours. From history to herstory. Know you got some opinions that we don't agree. Need to call my sister Joan of A-R-C, Bake a feminist cake, Antoinette Marie. Yeah, guys, we got spies,  Know all you wanna do is fertilise,  But avert your eyes from my thighs, Never tell a bitch that she gotta drop a size. You wanna box gap? Show me your six pack. Wanna landing strip? You'd better get ripped. I apologise if you think my lines are crass, Tell me how it feels to get verbally harassed. (Chorus) So we can fuck this man's world, With all its bullshit, Girls don't deserve it. We ain't good girls: We are scholastic, Smart and sarcastic, Not fucking plastic. Listen mankind! If you wanna get nasty, Just don't harass me:  You can't just grab me. That's a sex crime! Yeah we don't want it - It's chauvinistic. You're such a bigot!

Photograph by Francesca Woodman.

Rosalind Krauss often wrote about Francesca Woodman as a great feminist artist, and the reasons for this are obvious. She’s regularly took self portraits or photographed other young women, often nude. Amidst the saturation of hypersexualised glamour bodies, her treatment of the nude female body is refreshing to say the least.

But to pigeon hole Francesca Woodman as a singularly feminist photographer would not only be ironically sexist in itself, but would ignore the multiple levels to the photographs.

The heavy blacks and brilliance of the white light creates a stark contrast. The figures are rarely shown clearly; the rattling blur and tense out of frame figures either looking in or looking as if trying to escape.

The photographs aren’t technically perfect or classically beautiful. Yet they achieve that which those formerly mentioned attributes should, they are powerful. I think the power comes from the energy of them, from the shaking blur, the movement of the figures as they slip in and out of the frame and the bubbling tension which pervades it all. There’s very active presence within this, an energetic tension bubbling to the surface.

To me these photos are acutely sensitive to the intense form of looking which photography is. It’s an uneasy dialogue between the camera and figure, producing a formidable tension; this is at it’s heart an acute understanding or perhaps a tragic attempt of reconciling being, very existence itself.

Photographs are clear documents of reality. With one simple click a moment is frozen for as long as the record of it remains, in doing this the temporal is tied to permanent, the immaterial to the object. This nature of photography parallels very closely Francesca Woodman’s notions of being.

Seeing Narcissists Everywhere

A psychology professor has tapped into a rich vein of popular concern, concluding that people in recent decades have grown more self-centered and entitled. But is it true?
