AMIW@VBKÖ - Or Rather, What Can Words do? / Oder vielmehr, was können Wörter tun? / Ou antes, o que podem as palavras? (exhibition, VBKÖ Vienna, 4th Nov - 3rd Dec 2011)

Teaser Image: 

2005 von der Künstlerin Carla Cruz initiiert, problematisiert AMIW Genderkonstruktionen und Machtverhältnisse in der Kunst. Es positioniert sich als feministische politische Plattform und verweigert sich dem Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit zur diskriminierenden Kunstwelt. So erprobt es andere Wege der Darstellung von hu’wo’man Kunstproduktionen.

Movement Politics: The Revolution Is Longer Than We Think (Event Oct 30th, 2010; VBKÖ Vienna)

Teaser Image: 

We http://www.vbkoe.org have recently engaged with the defining, positioning and constructing levels of the notion of a "women's movement." We problematized the non-naming of the first, feminist artist women's movements within history-writing.

In "Movement Politics. The Revolution Is Longer Than We Think," we further expand these analyses within an art historical, collective and activist context. We decipher their new potentials for feminist forms of action. We will carry that out through critical interview material and virtual conversations with the following participants:
