      Museum Ludwig, Köln

      This volume is the first in the Museum Ludwig’s new series “In their own words.” The series is dedicated to contemporary artists who, in addition to their visual oeuvre, have produced texts that take an independent approach to the concerns of their times and presents, above all, approaches that have proved influential and continue to inform current debates. VALIE EXPORT is regarded as one of the most important international pioneers of conceptual media art, performance, and experimental film. In the late 1960s, her often provocative installations, films, and actions caused an uproar. From the outset, VALIE EXPORT has written not only detailed concepts for her projects but also theoretical essays, poems, notes, and lectures. A large number of her published texts have been made accessible here in one book, along with a selection of printed interviews and unpublished notes and lectures created between 1967 and 2020.

      Valie Export. In her own words
    • Das Booklet erscheint anlässlich der Ausstellung „VALIE EXPORT. Forschung – Archiv – Werk“, die vom 9. Juni bis 12. August 2018 im Neuen Berliner Kunstverein stattfand. VALIE EXPORT ist eine der bedeutendsten Vertreter*innen konzeptueller Medien-, Performance- und Filmkunst und hat mit ihren feministischen und medienkritischen Arbeiten Generationen von Künstler*innen nachhaltig geprägt. Der Neue Berliner Kunstverein widmet EXPORT die erste umfassende Ausstellung ihrer Werke und Archivalien in Deutschland seit 15 Jahren. Die präsentierten Werkkomplexe aus fünf Jahrzehnten verdeutlichen die thematische Vielfalt ihres Schaffens, das sich mit dichotomischen Spaltungen wie Kultur/Natur und männlich/weiblich beschäftigt und das menschliche sowie weibliche Subjekt in der Welt verortet. Zentrale Forschungsfragen sind, wie Architektur, Technologien und Medien den Menschen (de)formieren. Die Ausstellung zeigt Archivmaterialien und Arbeiten aus den 1970er Jahren, die Kultur und Natur reflektieren, sowie Fotografien, Filme und Installationen der 1980er und 1990er Jahre, die das fragmentierte Selbst im digitalen Zeitalter thematisieren. Allegorische Bildfindungen eröffnen neue Perspektiven und analysieren das Verhältnis von Raum, Körper und Medien. Die Ausstellung bietet Einblicke in EXPORTs Arbeitsweise und den forschenden Charakter ihres künstlerischen Prozesses. Kuratorin: Sabine Folie.

      In this illustrated, interview-format volume, 16 women performance artists animatedly address the volatile issues of male domination, feminism, race and denial. Among the modern warriors here are Diamanda Galás, a composer of ritualistic "plague masses" about AIDS who refuses to tolerate pity or weakness; Lydia Lunch, a self-described "instigator" who explains that her graphic portrayals of exploitation stem from her victimization as a child; and Wanda Coleman, a poet who rages against racism and ignorance. Goddess worshipper and former porn star Annie Sprinkle enthusiastically promotes positive sexual attitudes; bell hooks eloquently discusses societal power structures in terms of race and gender; Holly Hughes, Sapphire and Susie Bright expound on lesbianism and oppression; pro-choice advocates Suzy Kerr and Dianne Malley describe their struggles for reproductive rights. Incendiary opinions of current issues such as the Gulf War and censorship and frequent allusions to empowering art and literature make this an excellent reference source. These informed discussions arm readers verbally, philosophically and behaviorally and provide uncompromising role models for women actively seeking change.
