性依赖的叙事曲

Comprising almost seven hundred snapshot-like portraits sequenced against an evocative music soundtrack, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency by Nan Goldin (American, born 1953) is a deeply personal narrative, formed out of the artist's own experiences around Boston, New York, Berlin, and elsewhere in the late 1970s, 1980s and beyond. Titled after a song in Bertolt Bercht and Kurt Well's Threepenny Opera (1928), Goldin's Ballad is itself a kind of downtown opera; its protagonists - including the artist herself - are captured in intimate moments of love and loss. They experience ecstasy and pain through sex and drug use; they revel at dance clubs and bond with their children at home; and they suffer from domestic violence and the ravages of AIDS. "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is the diary I let people read," Goldin wrote. "The diary is my form of control over my life. It allows me to obsessively record every detail. It enables me to remember."

The Ballad developed through multiple improvised performances, during which Goldin ran through the slides by hand for audiences whose members often mirrored the subjects of the pictures, and for which friends helped her prepare a soundtrack ranging from Maria Callas to The Velvet Underground. These early iterations of The Ballad are traced in a selection of materials from the artist's archive, including posters, flyers, and a preliminary mock-up for the 1986 publication that chronicled the work. The Ballad is presented in its original 35mm format, along with photographs from the Museum's collection that also appear as images in the slide show. Live musical performances will periodically accompany the work; details will be announced on moma.org/nangoldin.
