    Louise O'Hare - Centrefold 1974 A Memoir

    Ma Bibliotheque 2024 ISBN 9781738507924 Acqn 36498


    Pb 12x19cm 264pp £15

    Following the publication of Centrefold in Artforum, November 1974, Benglis says that Penthouse
    wanted to use the image, but instead she proposed 'a take-off on a traditional pieta, depicting a
    beautiful girl as the Madonna with a nude man on her lap'. They refused, 'we cannot do that, we
    cannot allow artists to make a centrefold.'

    Published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of that Centrefold, and shifting between 1970s
    New York and Los Angeles and the Corbyn years in Tower Hamlets, London, this Centrefold
    enacts an ambivalent 'full accounting' of Lynda Benglis's Artforum spread, as well as her gender
    'mockeries' and Secrets series. Taking in nursery privatisation, artworld silencing and censorship,
    maintenance art, muddled Marxism, performances of motherhood, and masturbation, Louise
    O'Hare weighs up the various impacts and forms of disciplining at play in both column and dildo
    inches.

    Louise O'Hare is a researcher specialising in early years and social policy, based in Tower
    Hamlets, London. She is an organiser of Post Pandemic Childcare coalition, and part of the On
    the Record childcare oral histories project. She was an associate editor at Afterall from 2013 to
    2017, co-curated 'Safe' at HOME, Manchester, in 2015, and founded the London Bookshop Map
    in 2011 as a platform to disseminate writing by artists. Her writing has been published by Art
    Monthly, Publication Studio London, the Socialist Educational Association, TANK, Tribune, and
    We Own It. Centrefold 1974 is her first book.
