Feminist Avant-Garde Bozar 2014

WOMAN. FEMINIST AVANT-GARDE of the 1970s from the VERBUND COLLECTION, Vienna

The VERBUND COLLECTION, Vienna, made a guest appearance at the BOZAR, Brussels, from 18 June to 31 August 2014.

Art history shows that the image of the woman was defined from the perspective of the man. This centuries-old iconography was radically deconstructed in the 1970s for the first time in art history by the “Feminist Avant-Garde”.

Curator:

Curated by Gabriele Schor, founding director of the VERBUND COLLECTION, Vienna, and Sophie Lauwers, artistic director of the BOZAR, Brussels

Insights into the exhibition WOMAN. FEMINIST AVANT-GARDE of the 1970s from the VERBUND COLLECTION, Vienna

In an exhibition room of the Bozar exhibition in Brussels, there is a display case on the right with a model of a house whose interior is visible. On the right, on a white wall, there are five photographs in white picture frames.

A white exhibition wall can be seen with three square picture frames. Inside are photos of Bozar in black and white. Below them are signs with explanations of the artworks.

Several works of art by Bozar are hung on a white wall in an exhibition hall. A visitor looks at the pictures and can be seen from behind.

Three slide images are projected onto the wall on a black background in a dark room. Each shows a room with a mattress in front of a window in the curtain. In the middle image, two people are lying on the mattress.

Several works of art by Bozar are displayed in an exhibition hall. On the left are four black and white photographs in landscape format, in the middle a monitor with video and on the right a photograph of a seated person in portrait format.

The image shows an exhibition room with a wooden floor and white walls, showing two visitors looking at a series of Bozar's artworks.

Female identities

The 29 female artists of the VERBUND COLLECTION, Vienna, created in the exhibition a new image of women that examines both their own body and themselves in their object-subject relationships and tackles the perspective of self-determined female identities.

The exhibition gives an insight into the complex works of female artists who deal provocatively, poetically and ironically with the construction of identities. The artists share the collective consciousness of a radical reappraisal, the rejection of the hegemony of painting and the turning towards completely new forms of expression in photography, performance, film and video.
