摘要

在2015年美国总统大选中期，艺术家莎拉·利维用她的经血为候选人唐纳德·特朗普画了一幅肖像。这件作品引用了特朗普在与记者梅根·凯利的谈话中对月经的评论，他说她“哪里都在流血”。虽然媒体对此进行了大量讨论，但这幅肖像并没有得到应有的批判性艺术史关注。本文考虑了月经艺术品“Whatever”(Bloody Trump)创作的艺术、文化、政治和美学灵感，肖像的技术和物质性，以及它在公众、艺术机构和媒体话语中的后续接受。本文通过对艺术家的采访和对女性主义艺术史传统的批判性视觉分析，认为“Whatever”(Bloody Trump)应该被理解为一件重要的艺术品，它从美学上解释和回忆了特朗普时代的白人至上主义政治和强烈的月经禁忌。

Seeing Red: Menstrual Art and Political Portraiture in the Trump Era

In the middle of the 2015 United States presidential election race, artist Sarah Levy made a portrait of candidate Donald Trump with her menstrual blood. The work referenced Trump’s comments about menstruation during a conversation with journalist Meghan Kelly, in which he said that she had ‘blood coming out of her wherever’. While much discussed in the media, the portrait has not received the critical art historical attention it deserves. This paper considers the artistic, cultural, political and aesthetic inspiration of the creation of the menstrual artwork ‘Whatever’ (Bloody Trump), the techniques and materiality of the portrait, and its subsequent reception in public, art institutional and media discourse. Drawing on interviews with the artist and critical visual analysis in the tradition of feminist art history, this paper argues that ‘Whatever’ (Bloody Trump) should be understood as an important artwork that aesthetically interprets and recalls the white supremacist politics and strong menstrual taboos of the Trump era.
