A RT is often controversial. That
is not to say artists are always
aware they are generating
controversy.
In 1987, artist Andres Serrano created
what might be one of the most
controversial works in modern art.
Piss Christ involved a photograph of
a small crucifix
immersed in a
jar of his own
urine. Serrano,
who is Catholic
himself, says
the photograph
was a pointed
comment on the
cheapening of
Christian icons
in our culture.
The work, funded
by a grant from the U. S. National
Endowment for the Arts, was critically
acclaimed and award- winning. The
public, however, reacted with disdain.
Serrano was condemned on the floor
of the U. S. Senate. He received death
threats and had other grants taken
away from him in protest. To this day,
Piss Christ still causes controversy
wherever it is shown.
In a lifetime of making and teaching
others about art, University of Manitoba
Prof. Cliff Eyland has learned artists
are among the last people to realize
they have created a controversy.
" Artists are surprised to discover
that their work is controversial at all,"
said Eyland, who will participate in a
debate about art and controversy at
the Free Press News Caf� on Friday.
" Controversies come in all shapes and
sizes, and often vary unexpectedly."
Eyland is renowned for supporting
artists of all kinds, and notably for
championing artists of the more controversial
ilk. Recently, his research
has focused on the work of Carolee
Schneemann, an artist whose 1964 performance
Meat Joy consisted of eight
nearly nude people cavorting with
wet paint, raw chickens and sausages.
Eyland said her work is often greatly
misunderstood and until recently, her
" radicalism impeded the proper recognition
of her achievement."
Eyland has also interacted with
many of Winnipeg's most controversial
artists. When he moved here from
Halifax in 1994, he almost immediately
befriended performance artist
Sharon Alward and learned about her
early work, Totentanz , a very personal
comment about the incredible loss of
life brought about by the AIDS crisis.
In the work, she poured five gallons of
blood and bull's semen on the Plug In
Gallery floor, and then spent several
hours cleaning it up. The press and
public were appalled by the art's
graphic nature. Eyland, however, believed
the work to be brilliant but was
concerned the controversy may have
overshadowed the profound message
behind the work.
In this instance, however, Alward
was patently aware her work would be
controversial. In a strategic move, she
did not use government grant money to
pay for the gallons of blood and semen
to ensure taxpayer support would not
become an issue that detracted from
the message of her art.
Eyland joined Plug In's board soon
after he moved here, becoming involved
in a 1995 controversy when the
gallery attempted to mount a show of
rather bad clown paintings by executed
serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
The public, not surprisingly, howled in
protest. Eyland said while he understood
the reaction, it definitely limited
dialogue about the works. Ideally,
Eyland said, he would have preferred
the exhibit sparked a vigorous debate
about good and bad art, and about how
we view the gallery - " as a sacred
space that should only house the moral
and the beautiful, or as a type of courtroom
where we all have fair chance to
judge its contents."
Breaking open our ways of thinking
is one of the roles of art. When art
critics or scholars disagree among
themselves, it makes fertile ground for
discussion. If the art world insists the
gallery become a fair- game courtroom,
then opposing views provide opportunity
for us to weigh the evidence
and develop informed opinions.
