In 1996 Jacques Derrida gave a lecture on the Museum of recent paintings in manhattan at the celebration of Antonin Artaud: Works on Paper, one of many first significant foreign exhibitions to provide the avant-garde dramatist and poet's work and drawings. Derrida's unique identify, "Artaud the Moma," is a attribute play on phrases. It alludes to Artaud's calling himself Mômo, Marseilles slang for "fool," upon his go back to Paris in 1946 after 9 years in a variety of asylums whereas taking part in off of the museum's nickname, MoMA. however the name used to be now not deemed "presentable or decent," in Derrida's phrases, by means of the very establishment that selected to show Artaud's paintings. in its place, the lecture was once marketed as "Jacques Derrida . . . will current a lecture approximately Artaud's drawings."

For Derrida, what used to be at stake used to be what it intended for the museum to convey Artaud's drawings and for him to lecture on Artaud in that institutional context. pondering over the performative strength of Artaud's paintings and the relation among writing and drawing, Derrida addresses the multiplicity of Artaud's identities to confront the modernist museum's valorizing of originality. He channels Artaud's specter, speech, and fight opposed to illustration to try to carry the museum answerable for attempting to confine Artaud inside of its different types. Artaud the Moma, as lecture and textual content, finds the problem that Artaud posed to Derrida—and to artwork and its institutional background. a robust interjection into the museum halls, this paintings is a vital second in Derrida's suggestion and an insightful, unsparing interpreting of a demanding author and artist.
