=Changed Date= Stand Up! - Feminist Photography

Hello everyone,

from the gallery's page:

In spring Protected content , the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart will present the renowned SAMMLUNG VERBUND from Vienna. With its works of the feminist avant-garde, VERBUND, Austria's largest energy company, occupies a prominent position in Protected content photography. For decades, founding director Gabriele Schor has been instrumental in establishing the concept of the feminist avant-garde in the art historical discourse.

In Protected content – Space for Photography, the exhibition offers multifaceted insights into the works of artists of the feminist avant-garde. These works radically question the role of women in art and society, aiming to establish an alternative image of women from a female perspective.

The exhibition features around Protected content by prominent female photographers of the Protected content , including VALIE EXPORT and Cindy Sherman. Other featured artists include Martha Rosler, Judy Chicago, Birgit Jürgenssen, Karin Mack, Ulrike Rosenbach, Renate Bertlmann, Penny Slinger. What unites them is their, historically speaking, relatively young emancipated voice raised against the conventions of art and society.

These artistic positions illustrate the transformation that took place in the Protected content only in art but also in women's consciousness and their role in society.

Let's go there after lunch and then we can get some coffee and discuss the exhibition.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Best regards
Maria
