[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.
