If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part of Your Revolution

The four part project Feminist Legacies And Potentials In Contemporary Art Practice investigates which ideas regarding feminism are pertinent to artists today, and the form they give to it. The fourth and final part of the project is taking place here in the M HKA this autumn/winter.
Feminist Legacies And Potentials In Contemporary Art Practice is a project of If I Can’t Dance... a travelling platform for performative practises in the visual arts. It is not an exhibition about feminism, but an exhibition that wishes to come up with a view of the various ways in which feminism -as school of thought, movement and conviction- informs, influences and inspires visual arts practises.
The exhibition assembles work by artists of various generations. Artists who were expressive about feminist issues during the 60s and 70s, such as Sanja Ivekovic, Lili Dujourie and Jef Geys; artists who built up a critical body of work during the 80s, such as Jutta Koether; the generation born around 1968 including among others Hito Steyerl, Cathy Wilkes and Karl Holmqvist; and the youngest generation including among others Katarina Zdjelar and Falke Pisano. An archive presentation, composed by Stefanie Seibold, will also be on display.
