▼a Everyone falls. In fact, everything might fall, depending on the temporal scale. But what does it혻mean for a white male artist to represent himself falling?Through the lenses of gender studies, whiteness studies, visual혻studies, and performance studies, this dissertation analyzes latent and manifest ideological meanings within a photographic archive of white male gestures of falling. I identify a pattern of what I call cultivated failure as a practice and a trope in contemporary art, and I argue that white male artists Bas Jan Ader, Yves Klein, Bruce Nauman, Martin Kersels, Kerry Skarbakka, and Patrick Manning perform a cultivated failure that interrogates masculinity and throws whiteness into relief. Their work questions the need for a stable masculinity by rendering each artist tentatively falling, failing, or floating, and develops a visual counter-argument for how a gendered body should function.Actively resisting a hegemonic white masculinity, these disruptive gestures provide혻representational tactics to counter the visual mythologies of straight white male dominance in cultural production. However, while the individual gestures perform a collapse, suspension, or failure of straight white masculinity, patriarchal and white supremacist institutions remain standing. Still, I argue that these photographs attempt a visual rupture of masculine ideals of stability by exposing repetitive gendered acts in a moment of collapse, and challenge dominant notions of how men allow (or disallow) themselves to perform. Ultimately, I argue that these artists use their privilege to perform a self-reflexive exhaustion, emptiness, and failure in late 20th century mythologies of white masculinity - but provide the possibility of ethical performative interventions in the form of what I call cultivated failures, the pause, and the reorientation drive. |
