[prologue]
new feminism / new europe
The
result of a Europe-wide project that sets out to examine the social,
economic and cultural position of women in the new Europe, [prologue]
new feminism / new europe is a radical and witty exhibition and
weekend of live performances by female artists addressing prejudice
against the word 'feminist' through art. [prologue] will consider
a young generation of artists unafraid to be known as feminists.
Collectively organised by seven curators from venues across Europe,
the gallery-based exhibition at Cornerhouse and weekend of live-art
at Green Room will feature 27 artists from 17 countries. The project
will see Manchester welcome participating artists, academics and
delegates to discuss theory, activism, and the visual and political
forces affecting women in the new Europe.
[prologue]
Live, a weekend of live-art, interventions and performances at
Green Room, extends the traditional frame of the gallery exhibition
and allows for the experience of live art an essential medium
in which feminist artists have worked for generations. It will
begin on Friday 29 July with Tanja Ostojiж’s Integration Impossible
a new performance and multimedia event in which she summarises
her experiences of being a woman immigrant in Germany and her
struggle to move freely and live and work where she wants. This
will be followed by a DJ set by Melissa Logon and Deborah Schamoni
of Chicks on Speed, the notorious girl-group that began as a fake
band at the Munich Art Academy in 1997 before taking the music
industry by storm. Saturday night includes artist Nicole Pruckermayr’s
performance wearing a latex-skin that would kill her if worn for
more than15 minutes and Boryana Dragoeva-Rossa’s video game-like
performance, in which she turns people into Robo-Sapiens or human
robots. London-based Jamika Ajalon will present her anti-lecture
Trans-narrative, which concludes with a party and jam session
with local and guest musicians.
It will begin on Friday 29 July and conclude on Sunday 31 July
with a brunch and one-day symposium featuring Katy Deepwell, editor
of n.paradoxa; and theoretrician and Alena Williams, an Art Historian
from Colombia University, New York and an internet consultant
to Rhizome; with artists from the exhibition and curators in conversation
about the value of feminist criticism.
