{"title":"N Dimensional Space in a One-Dimensional World: The Art of Holograms in 1970","authors":"Elizabeth Johnson","doi":"10.1086/725121","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725121","url":null,"abstract":"When the hologram emerged as a medium in the late 1960s, it was met with an initial burst of enthusiasm before rapidly being marginalized from mainstream artistic practice. Despite a recent resurgence of important exhibitions featuring artists’ holograms, they remain neglected in art-historical scholarship. This article restores holograms to the narratives of art and technology circa 1970 by investigating one of the first exhibitions of holograms as art in the United States, N Dimensional Space, at the Contemporary Study Wing of the Finch College Museum of Art, New York. Relying on archival records to illuminate the elusive virtual aesthetics of artists’ early engagement with holograms, this article contends that the hologram evoked both a counterculture dream of expanding consciousness and a fear of attenuating freedom in advanced industrial societies. Ultimately, it suggests that these historical attitudes retrospectively offer an analogy through which to attend to the fantasies and anxieties circulating around recent digital culture.","PeriodicalId":41204,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN ART JOURNAL","volume":"17 1","pages":"42 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85716130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Newton Galleries, New York. The exhibition was organized by Walter White, then secretary of the NAACP. Given my own work on the history of lynching in the United States, I was curious to learn more about how these artists’ work was received at the time. In creating a series of drawings inspired by the content of this 1935 exhibition, which is documented in the Archives’ Jacques Seligmann & Co. Records, I made the decision to remove all the lynching victims and the ropes from the original images. I also removed the individuals in the lynch mobs as a way of drawing our attention to the natural and built world as rendered through the original artist’s hand. In refusing to re-draw, or re-represent, the lynching victims or mobs, I openly explore the physical process of creating images that must have been traumatic for the artists who produced them, particularly given the controversy surrounding the exhibition and the historical moment in which they were living. This project also meditates on our own time, when historical erasures and fake news threaten our very democracy.","PeriodicalId":41204,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN ART JOURNAL","volume":"65 1","pages":"60 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78679156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I read Allen’s activism alongside her modeling career to consider her resistance to the representational history of the Black female nude. Always careful to distinguish her nudity from her sexual availability, Allen declared a distaste for photography as part of a forceful definition of the boundaries of her sexuality. Despite this stated aversion, Allen donated a large collection of photographs to the Archives of American Art, many of which reveal the tensile thresholds between what Allen called “the Lewd and the Newd.” Together with her remarks surrounding obscenity, these photographs suggest that Allen defined the potential for sexual and economic liberation of the Black female body not only along the axis of artistic labor but also through self-representation in the archive she created.","PeriodicalId":41204,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN ART JOURNAL","volume":"27 1","pages":"4 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89482558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
