rosemarie trockel
Trockel herself has declared an interest “not only in the history of the victor, but also in that of the weaker party,” and has noted that women “have historically. . . always been left out.” Speaking of her knitted balaclava masks, 1986–90, she has emphasized that they “consist not only of what they say or intend to say, but also of what they exclude. They have absence as their subject.”4 These statements may be generalized to apply to all of Trockel’s work to date, which seeks to represent the hidden, the overlooked, the unrepresented—the gendered female. Jacques Lacan, as Hélène Cixous writes, would bar woman from the Symbolic, placing her “outside language. . . excluded from any possible relationship with culture and the cultural order.”5 Trockel, I would aver, wants to put her back, to return her to the realm of subjectivity.
You may complain that such a reading would reduce Trockel’s complex, enigmatic, evocative work to questions of gender (and in these postfeminist times, haven’t “we” all heard enough about those?), would marginalize it by excluding it from more spacious territory, or, even from the deconstructionists’ genderless zone of the authorless text.6 On the contrary, to speak of Trockel as a woman artist, a spider artist, in no way disallows the poetic resonance of the objects that she makes, or detaches them from the world in which they claim their meaning. In her catalogue essay for the current retrospective, Elisabeth Sussman asserts that “what has to be underscored. . . is Trockel’s gendered consciousness, which establishes the different and the ordinary within a discourse of the body.”7 While agreeing with her, it seems to me that it is the “gendered consciousness” of the artist herself that is of most importance, allowing us entry into the work whether its subject be male, female, or some combination of the two. #feminism https://gyazo.com/bfee3a0a9584b25a0422404c087fe1c9
