DAVID BOWIE AND THE SWEDISH ACADEMY - “I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes...” -
Brooklyn based Hyperallergic have published an article by Jan Åman, a respected curator, writer, columnist, based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Titled David Bowie, the Nobel Prize, and Panic in Stockholm, the piece centres on the current drama around the Swedish Academy, which “has reached Shakespearian proportions, and might even flip the way we look at contemporary culture.”. Here’s a heavily edited excerpt, wherein Åman mentions Bowie in the company of cultural icons that Bowie himself would have been far too humble and embarrassed to see highlighted: - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +
David Bowie was the opposite of your ordinary rock star. He invented a series of alter egos to distance himself from a market that would swallow the identities of many other, less savvy musicians. He turned himself into Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, personas that enabled him to play with pop culture’s soon-to-implode future. He handled the leap across the Atlantic to the US by turning himself into The Thin White Duke — and kept on changing even after his death (”dropped my cell-phone down below…”). David Bowie is in this sense a descendant of Marcel Duchamp, who, through Rrose Selavy, could play with both gender and life. Marcel Duchamp too felt a need to surpass his context, the art world of Paris. When, late in life, Duchamp was asked by professor Ulf Linde why he moved to New York in 1915, he replied: “The art life in Paris had already turned into the market’s need for Braque and Picasso — and I didn’t want play on such a low level.” + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + -
