Woman: The Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s.
The group exhibition WOMAN. The Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s. Works from the SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Vienna brings together 450 works by 29 female artists. Art history shows that the 鈥渋mage of woman鈥� is actually the product of male projections. In the 1970s female artists, for the first time in art history, created the 鈥渋mage of woman鈥� themselves. They studied their own bodies and created the prospect of determined feminine identities in a provocative, radical, poetic, and ironic manner. The curator Gabriele Schor calls this art movement the 鈥淔eminist Avant-Garde鈥� to emphasise 鈥渢he pioneering and collective role that these artists played for the last four decades鈥� and believes that 鈥渕any Feminist Avant-Garde artists - and their works - have yet to be discovered.鈥�
Artists: Helena Almeida (PT), Eleanor Antin (US), Renate Bertlmann (AT), Teresa Burga (PE), VALIE EXPORT (AT) , Esther Ferrer (ES), Alexis Hunter (NZ), Sanja Ivekovic (HR), Birgit J眉rgenssen (AT), Ketty La Rocca (IT), Leslie Labowitz (US), Suzanne Lacy (US), Suzy Lake (CA), Ana Mendieta (CU), Gina Pane (FR), Ulrike Rosenbach (DE), Martha Rosler (US), Carolee Schneemann (US), Cindy Sherman (US), Annegret Soltau (DE), Hannah Wilke (US), Martha Wilson (US), Francesca Woodman (US), Nil Yalter (FR), Lili Dujourie (BE), Mary Beth Edelson (US), Rita Myers (US), Penny Slinger (US), Ewa Partum (PL).
