Cutting Across Media – Appropriation Art, Interventionist Collage, and Copyright Law

Autor Kembrew Mcleod, Rudolf Kuenzli
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 aug 2011
The contributors to Cutting Across Media focus on collage and appropriation art, exploring the legal ramifications of such practices in an age when private companies can own culture using copyright and trademark law. Examining the intersections of the popular and the avant-garde, each essay is implicitly or explicitly concerned with the politics of appropriation art and other forms of collage that intervene in popular media discourses. Cutting Across Media features some important, eye-popping archival pieces, along with new essays by leading academics, critics, essayists, and artists. It scrutinizes and in some instances illustrates forms of collage and appropriation art such as audio mash-ups, remixed news broadcasts, literary collage, visual collage, and plagiarism-as-art, as well as culture jamming, pranks, and billboard alteration. Among the contributors to the collection are the novelist and essayist Jonathan Lethem, the poet and cultural critic Joshua Clover, the filmmaker Craig Baldwin, the hip-hop historian Jeff Chang, the ’zine-maker and sound collage artist Lloyd Dunn, and Negativland, the infamous collective that was sued in 1992 for sampling U2 in a satirical sound collage.Contributors: Craig Baldwin; David Banash; Marcus Boon; Jeff Chang; Joshua Clover; Lorraine Morales Cox; Lloyd Dunn; Pierre Joris; Douglas Kahn; Rudolf Kuenzli; Rob Latham; Jonathan Lethem; Carrie McLaren; Kembrew McLeod; Negativland ; Philo T. Farnsworth; Davis Schneiderman; Siva Vaidhyanathan; Gábor Vályi; Eva Hemmungs Wirtén

Recenzii

...the book brings together a broad range of contributors, from highfalutin academics to cutting-edge (no pun intended) street-level remixers, who reflect on a plethora of creative practices in all manner of media and genres." - Vince Carducci, PopMatters.com
"Communication is much like a work of art--it is a process of copying, repeating, and varying what we hear. There is no originator or owner of that which shapes our very being, and Cutting Across Media demonstrates how placing restrictions on creative commentary can stifle our cultural development." - Vicki Bennett, aka People Like Us
"The collection vacillates between well-demonstrated and novel critical positions. Where the most prominent works on the subject tend to dwell on digital’s infinite capacity to reproduce and share itself freely and its current kowtowing to corporate rights management, this book begins by situating appropriation art and collage in the earlier recesses of the twentieth century with Walter Benjamin, the Surrealists, and Dada. Along the way, it touches upon zine culture, audiotape collage, street art, and new wave science fiction; it critiques the international outflows of copyright-subject culture and then it critiques the debate itself.... Cutting Across Media is notable in the insight it provides into hip-hop and rap’s participation in appropriation art and collage culture." - Allie Curry, Rain Taxi

"Prioritising usage over rights lies, ironically, at the heart of capitalism itself- which adds to the current contradictions of perceived digital freedom. McLeod and Kuenzli are more than aware of this, adding that those lamenting the expansion of intellectual property often “sound like Libertarian cowboys’. On the whole, and to its credit, this volume gives voice to both sides. Participations range from, to name just a few, Craig Baldwin’s catalogue of ‘billboard liberation’ activities to McLeods’s essays on the KLF (remember the K foundation? Burning £1m and giving Rachel Whiteread the ‘Worst Artist Award’ at her receipt of the Turner Prize and other anarcho-pop manifestations) to David Schneiderman on the cut-ups of William Burroughs and DJ Danger Mouse’s Grey Album." - David Ryan, Art Monthly, May 2012
