Abstract

Scholars and artists have long been interested in socially engaged artworks, particularly those involving civil disobedience. But what of the opposite approach? What of radical adherence? In the 1970s, California-based artist Lowell Darling realized a series of creative endeavors exploiting uncivil obedience, characterized by a conspicuous and hyperbolic compliance with established laws, rules, and mandates. Following the disallowance of proposed deductions to his 1969 federal income tax return, Darling—by way of projects such as the fictional Fat City School of Finds Arts—deconstructed the so-called hobby loss rule of the U.S. Tax Code by rigorously and ironically fulfilling those factors said to indicate a profit-seeking intent. In 1978, Darling mined the intricacies of electioneering norms and campaign finance by staging an insincere run for governor of California. In these projects, Darling mobilized a kind of legal medium for creative expression, manifesting a mode of art-making that departed from expectations about how art and law might interact and intersect within art practice.

不文明的服从
长期以来,学者和艺术家一直对社会参与的艺术品感兴趣,尤其是那些涉及公民不服从的艺术品。但是相反的方法呢?那么激进的坚持呢?在20世纪70年代,加州艺术家洛厄尔·达林(Lowell Darling)实现了一系列创造性的尝试,利用不文明的服从,其特点是对既定法律、规则和命令的明显和夸张的遵守。在他的1969年联邦所得税申报表中不允许提出扣除之后,达林——通过虚构的胖城艺术学院等项目——通过严格和讽刺地满足那些据说表明追求利润意图的因素,解构了美国税法中所谓的爱好损失规则。1978年,达林利用竞选规范和竞选资金的复杂性,假惺惺地竞选加州州长。在这些项目中,达林调动了一种创造性表达的法律媒介,体现了一种艺术创作模式,这种模式偏离了人们对艺术与法律在艺术实践中如何相互作用和交叉的期望。

期刊介绍: American Art is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring all aspects of the nation"s visual heritage from colonial to contemporary times. Through a broad interdisciplinary approach, American Art provides an understanding not only of specific artists and art objects, but also of the cultural factors that have shaped American art over three centuries of national experience. The fine arts are the journal"s primary focus, but its scope encompasses all aspects of the nation"s visual culture, including popular culture, public art, film, electronic multimedia, and decorative arts and crafts. American Art embraces all methods of investigation to explore America·s rich and diverse artistic legacy, from traditional formalism to analyses of social context.
