Symposium ONE DAY ON CADY NOLAND: Larne Abse Gogarty – MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST

27 April 2019 at MUSEUM MMK Larne Abse Gogarty For your own Security This talk addresses the everyday signs of aggression and constrained movement alongside the repeated motifs of cults in Cady Noland’s work. By pairing these two aspects, I stress that despite the repetition of guns, chain-links, nooses and handcuffs, there’s little in her practice that signals bondage or violence as a transgressive set of symbols. Instead, those images accumulate to suggest the protection of property as a crucial all-American tenet, and securitization as a form of violence that is central to upholding property as a mode of individuation. In contrast, Noland’s engagement with extreme groupings such as the Symbionese Liberation Army or the Manson family evoke celebrity as arising through extraordinary violence, and situations where the self gets lost through becoming subordinated to the desire of others, or the integrity of the group. How do we move between these two forms of violence in Noland’s work? And how does the contrast between socially acceptable violence (“standing your ground”) and extraordinary, ritual violence relate to the production of this work during a period in American history where crime was understood as both endemic, and within the media, situated within a deeply racialized moral panic about certain social formations? How do Noland’s two forms of violence allow us to think about the gang of the 1980–90s in relation to the cult of the 1960–70s?
