D. H. Lawrence Books

Die Monografie bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die ungewöhnlichen Fotografien, Skulpturen und Installationen von Sarah Lucas (*1962 in London), die oftmals rau, aggressiv und prägnant wirken. Häufig demaskiert die Künstlerin in ihnen den Chauvinismus der Umgangssprache. So mag es noch tolerierbar erscheinen, eine junge Frau als „Chicken“, also „Hühnchen“ zu bezeichnen; Lucas' provokative Arbeit mit dem Titel Chicken Knickers jedoch deckt verborgene Assoziationen auf und entkleidet den Ausdruck mit trockenem britischem Humor unwiderruflich jeder Niedlichkeit. - Ein weiterer bedeutender Bestandteil von Lucas' Werk sind androgyne Selbstporträts, auf denen die Künstlerin mit herausforderndem Blick und Zigarette im Mundwinkel coole, männlich besetzte Posen von Stars wie Keith Richards einnimmt und sie bisweilen mit weiblich konnotierten Accessoires aufbricht.

In LIVING ON MADISON AVENUE (set, obviously, on Madison Avenue, a rich area of New York), Lawrence sews together snatches from his mature life and the hurt of his younger years. Maturing from his confused youth into a solid marriage, along the way Lawrence dodged the Vietnam draft and later served a two-year jail sentence for tax evasion. He praises how lithium flattened out his manic-depression, itemizes the death of his relatives and friends, and describes the dead: "Delicious, I love them all, all my little candies made out of memories and chocolate." Woven through all his life experiences is his evolving association with his wife as she tries "to bite into the knuckles and meat / of our relationship."

Intense military action unfolds as sharp orders redirect the guns, igniting a flurry of activity. Amidst the chaos, a solitary soul remains detached, yet profoundly affected by the deep, resonant sound of a gun.
