Screening and Talk: re.act.feminism #2 – a performing archive
Guided Screening Sunday, January 27, 2013, 6 p.m.
Guests Bettina Knaup, Beatrice Stammer
re.act.feminism #2 is a growing, temporary and living performance archive traveling through Europe from 2011 to 2013. It presents feminist, gender-critical and queer performance art by more than 160 artists and artist collectives from the 1960 ́s to the beginning of the 1980’s, as well as contemporary positions. This mobile archive is the first of its kind to bring together such a great number and variety of performance documentation, video performances, photographs, artist interviews as well as scores and manifestos – which are mostly difficult to access and have therefore seldom been presented in the past. The scope of the archive is international including artists from more than 40 countries, mainly from Eastern and Western Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the US and Latin America.
Presenting a selection of materials from the archive the team of re.act.feminism discusses the development and itinerary of the project and reflects on performance art as a laboratory for new forms of (collective) action and social/political practice.
The talk is part of transmediale and CTM's VORSPIEL, a pre-festival program where over 20 partner venues invite you to a series of exhibition openings, performances, artist talks, and special events that take place beyond the main venues of either festival.
Vorspiel will take place on the weekend prior to both festivals, from Thursday 24 – Sunday 27 January 2012, at independent organizations, galleries, project spaces and other venues across Berlin. The Vorspiel program partners have been selected by transmediale and CTM according to one of the following criteria: content that relate to the in/compatible and/or Spectral thematic frameworks of the festivals, key collaboration partners, and high artistic quality.
At the tinme the talk has to be seen in the larger framework of the project on feminism by Espace Surplus:
