Art Monsters: Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art
by Lauren Elkin
The feminist act of decreation is making something that one acknowledges will fail, will decay. The work will not endure. The performance is documentable on video but not reproducible. Different from
the decisions of artists like Agnes Martin or Georgia O'Keeffe to destroy their work, because the work itself enacts its subjection to decay. What a political statement to make: I do not care if this work endures, if the buyer gets his money's worth, if it can continue to circulate within a capitalist economy where art becomes a place to park your millions.
