A woman who is a clown is a clown, just as a man who is a clown is - konst av Zlatko Vasic aka Carl Wassa Lübeck, Malmö GalleriHelg…the exhibition about today's woman who is a clown is a clown, just as a men who is a primate is ….
In popular knowledge as well as in the collective imagination, the clown is a male figure. The opposition between the stereotypes of the clown and the woman prevents them from being associated: the clown represents the bad parts of the man while the woman embodies control, beauty. This gap is all the greater because it corresponds to the social differentiation between men and women. Laughter, as a social practice, contributes to this gender sectorisation. The woman is seen as passive and the man as active, the woman as receptive and the man as productive. Alone. Organically, methodically and meditatively alone. Today, playing unambiguously with the ghosts of his ancestors, the clown has curiously taken the plunge to wander the ring or the stage on his own.
"It's not easy to make people laugh as a woman. People are uncomfortable laughing at a woman who has fun being ridiculous even if it's done well." Roxanne de Bruyn – clowness Greta
Såväl folkligt som i den kollektiva fantasin är clownen en mansfigur. Motsättningen mellan stereotyperna om clownen och kvinnan hindrar dem från att associeras: clownen representerar de dåliga delarna av mannen medan kvinnan förkroppsligar kontroll, skönhet. Denna klyfta är desto större eftersom den motsvarar den sociala differentieringen mellan män och kvinnor. Skratt, som en social praktik, bidrar till denna könssektorisering. Kvinnan ses som passiv och mannen som aktiv, kvinnan som mottaglig och mannen som produktiv. Ensam. Organiskt, metodiskt och meditativt ensam. Idag leker clownen otvetydigt med sina förfäders spöken, och har nyfiket tagit steget för att vandra runt ringen eller scenen på egen hand.
