Jac Leirner
Jac Leirner (São Paulo, SP, 1961)
Jac Leirner is a multimedia artist. He graduated in fine arts in 1984 from the Armando Álvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP), where he taught between 1987 and 1989. In the 1980s, he was the bassist for the punk band U.K.C.T. In 1991, he served as artist-in-residence at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, United States. That same year, in England, he was a visiting professor at the University of Oxford and artist-in-residence at the Museum of Modern Art in the same city. To create his works, he extensively collects common objects, often linked to the world of consumption.
By inserting them into the artistic circuit, he removes these objects from their usual flow and gives them new meanings. Starting with the Pulmão series (1985–1987), he began producing works that explore the variety of shapes and colors of materials, incorporating issues related to the presence of color, linearity and horizontality.
Critical Commentary
Jac Leirner's works begin with the collection of common objects, often linked to the world of consumption. Her collecting can be long-lasting: some series took 15 years to complete. In the 1980s, she created a series of works with paper money. In Os Cem (The Hundred), 1987, she uses 100-cruzeiro bills. The cells are perforated, tied into long strips, and spread across the floor. In Corpus Delicti (1985/1993), she brings together objects stolen from airliners, such as ashtrays, which are linked by a chain, evoking a jewel. In the Nomes (Names) series, 1989, she joins bags from museums or art bookstores, as if to form a fabric, with which she covers entire rooms or walls. In 1991, she created the series "To and From," in which she groups together correspondence envelopes, stored and loaned to her by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, United States. In all these works, she interrupts the predictable flow of everyday objects toward disappearance and inserts them into the artistic circuit, thus attributing them new meanings.
The series "Lung," 1987, is more closely connected to her personal life. To create it, Leirner keeps cigarette packs after consuming their contents. She disassembles them and uses the plastic opening tapes, paper, control stamps, among other materials, as materials for the works. She also exhibits radiographs of her lungs. For critic Lorenzo Mammì, "Lung" marks an important stage in her production: in this series, the artist presents herself as open to working with a greater variety of shapes and colors. In more recent works, such as "It Was a Pleasure" (1997), Leirner displays business cards from artists, curators, and gallery owners on the walls, and in the "Adesivos" (2000/2002) series, she displays stickers from rock bands, danger signs, museums, bookstores, and magazines, organized by theme, color, or shape. These latter works, as the artist points out, incorporate all the others and address issues related to the presence of color, linearity, and horizontality.
Jac Leirner's work dialogues with that of Marcel Duchamp, with the serializations of minimal art, and with conceptual art, among other trends. However, it also carries a pronounced poetic and autobiographical meaning.
Critiques
"What initially drives the artist's work seems to be the need to capture objects, removing them from the flow of consumption, from life. Leirner acts like a collector, or rather, like a special archaeologist, concerned with the typologies of certain objects that interest her because of what they have in common and the relationships—affective or otherwise—that the artist maintains with them. Packs of cigarettes, banknotes, phrases, plastic bags, etc.
Removing them from the circuit of consumption—killing them, one might say—in a first stage, Leirner simply leaves them to progressively accumulate somewhere in the studio for months, sometimes years. Dead because they are deprived of their original function, at a certain point Leirner decides to experience them again, and then begins the second stage of her process.
Now a stage that the artist herself calls 'engendering,' that is, gestation. A long, meticulous stage in which the artist, uniting the shells of the same type of object, obsessively arrives at the final result of this stage: a new object, a new form, constituted of several, countless examples of a former object.
(...) once this stage is complete, what does she do? She launches those various objects—now united in the same form—back into the flow of life, of consumption, exhibiting them in the conventional circuit of conventional art."

"Lung (1987) was made around the time she quit smoking; 1,200 packs of Marlboros (three years of smoking) were dismembered into their constituent parts; each part, assembled, became a distinct sculptural entity and a metaphor for the lung. All together, they formed the exhibition as a whole. One was made with the cellophane strips that are torn off first, another with the laminated inner wrapping paper, another with the stamps, and so on. Only the cigarettes were missing: they had 'gone up in smoke.' (...)
Recently, Jac Leirner has been collecting plastic bags for a work I haven't seen yet. Another ubiquity of everyday planetary life, habitually atomized as small 'packages' in time and space, another ideological murmur. The bags will transform into an environment that will envelop the viewer, like a quilted cell. I've described JL as employing a 'sculptural strategy,' in the sense of working with the physical properties of things. But the important difference lies in the word 'strategy.' She's not piecing things together to arrive at a finite, preexisting image, or an 'abstract' aesthetic sensation. Her work makes such formalisms seem unnecessarily limited and narrow, like old protocols and etiquette. Along with a number of other artists today, Jac Leirner proposes a new definition of poetics, a kind of intervention that changes the patterns of space and time in which we, and objects, move. A new way in which life can vitalize art, or art can reveal life."

LEIRNER, Jac. Jac Leirner. Translation by Nelson Ascher. Sao Paulo, 25 ill. p.b. color. , 1989.
"It is in the process of their use value through fetishism, in their dissolution into another configuration, that objects border on Nothingness, until Jac Leirner restores their identity. The dismantling of the objects' functions, their affectation as sign value, is Jac Leirner's critical action on empiricism. The thing, exhausted of its primordial functionality, now transforms itself into the very double of the real: the configuration in art. If the objects distributed on a flight (cutlery, blankets, or earphones) experience the mutation into art material, then the plane is the studio where Jac Leirner's work intensifies its temporal dimension, its duration. 'A trip is a moment of excitement. I need those jewels.' Displaced, the objects purge their dysfunction. It is up to four or five years of silence. It is the procedural time of purging qualities until their distortion into art. 'From the moment of choice, I no longer have choices,' says artist. The accomplished fact in this 'objectual' will, close to Bachelardian material will, finds Jac Leirner open to phenomenal operations. Detaching things from grand ideas, nullifying their connotations, seeking what is proper to each thing until the epiphanic moment of the work of art. Everything is accomplished so harmoniously that it seems as if the place emerged from the object itself, as if its body blossomed from itself to offer itself to the haptic gaze."
