Lectures in Art History: Abigail Susik, Willamette University

115 Howell Hall UNC at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill

This presentation juxtaposes Thirion’s theory of waged work as unhealthy with artworks by surrealist artists that associate modern work tools such as the sewing machine with sexual pleasure. For the interwar French surrealist group, the wage labor imperative could be subverted through the collective embrace of a different kind of compulsive drive, that of Eros.
