Re-Act Feminism: Performance in the 1970s and Today
Akademie der Kunst, Berlin, 2008
Featuring The Performing Archive, with Leslie Labowitz
The international performance project re.act.feminism provides an exemplary overview of gender-critical performance art of the 1960s and 1970s and its current ‘return’ in form of appropriations, re-enactments and archival or documentary projects. This exhibition documents performative works from 24 artists spanning across two generations and includes performance movements in Eastern and South Eastern Europe as well as the former GDR (since the beginning of the 1980s), which often developed parallel to and independent of “Western art”.
