DER GROSSE BOGEN
Der »große Bogen« oder auch »arc de cercle ist mit seiner Ambivalenz des Kontrollverlusts und der Beherrschung ein verführerisches Motiv, das eine lange Tradition in der Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte hat. Es findet sich in Darstellungen von Tanz und Akrobatik, beschreibt aber auch physische oder psychische Krankheiten: Der überstreckte (Frauen-)Körper drückt ekstatische Entrückung oder auch eine psychotische Störung aus, im Tanz aber steht er für virtuose Körperbeherrschung und Expressivität. Mit »Arch of Hysteria« widment das Museum der Moderne, Salzburg, eine Ausstellung diesem bildmächtige Motiv. Es werden Kunstwerke der letzten 100 Jahre aus verschiedenen Kontexten gezeigt und so der Vielfalt der Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten nachgegangen, die der Pose innewohnen - bis hin zu ihrer Umwandlung in abstrakte, aber dennoch expressive und daher unverkennbare Formen. Buch und Ausstellung beleuchten die (kunst)geschichtlichen Wurzeln des Motivs ebenso wie aktuelle Fortschreibungen in Malerei, Zeichnung, Skulptur, Fotografie, Video- sowie Performancekunst. Unter den ProtagonistInnen finden sich u. a. Denis Darzacq, Max Ernst, Georg Herold, Gustav Klimt, Alfred Kubin, Auguste Rodin, aber auch Alexandra Bircken, Louise Bourgeois, Ronit Porat, Barbis Ruder, Charlotte Rudolph, Valerie Schmidt und VALIE EXPORT; dabei sind viele Arbeiten extra für die Schau entstanden und werden in diesem Buch erstmals abgebildet.
