>Kunst Raum is pleased to announce its participating project (in co-operation with FAKULTAET)
>of  ARS ELECTRONICA 2001 "TAKEOVER. Who is doing the art of tomorrow" 1st-6th September (further infos: www.aec.at/takeover)

>
>Is the artistic practice of women challenged by the current hegemony?
>The "Female Takeover - ff" will question this topic in theory and
>practice with a snapshot exhibtion, artists presentations and a panel
>discussion. Techniques of feminist practice in net-art, like the
>decisive works of pioneers in the WWW, will be compared with strategies
>of young artists who are evolving a more general, quite open and often
>ironic way of discussing and dealing with supposed feminist questions.
>
>Participating Artist:
>Nine Budde/D, Cornelia Sollfrank/D; Snergurutschka/A,
>Faith Wilding/USA, Cue P. Doll/USA

>>>> How are visions and artistic strategies seen in the context of
>feminisitic discourse and feminist practice? Are the methods of young
>artists from generation f comparable with those from the 70ies, 80ies
>and 90ies?
>
>>>> Networks by and for women become the object of an artistic strategy
>because of the focus of those who are the driving forces behind them.
>
>>>> So-called patchwork biographies are part of the strategies in the
>artistic field: adaptation of production methods and approaches to work
>>from the worlds of business and social services as well as the
>mechanisms of a Fun Culture make for a smooth transition from
>production, services and the representation of social interconnections.
>Mixed realities and mixed media visualize themselves in everyday life
>just as they do in art, and vice versa.
>
>Which bold visions are considered or planned the moment?
>The present hegemony will be challenged! New strategies/concepts exist!

>I am active with the cyberfeminist cultural research and production group
>subRosa, which describes itself as a "reproducible" cyberfeminist cell,
>focusing on issues in biotechnology, new reproductive technologies, feminist
>health activism, feminist theories of difference, feminist cyborg and body
>theory, and gender and technology. SubRosa works with new media and digital
>technologies in tactical ways. Through embodying our differences and our
>conflicts in both work and conviviality we are evolving fluid forms of
>collective work across disciplinary and generational boundaries. Members
>have skills and experience in producing video, digital imaging and animation,
>photography, WEB pages etc. As well, we do a lot of theoretical research,
>writing, >and publishing. We are interested in combinations of high and low tech, and
>in >detourning consumer electronics.
>A factor with strong impact on the collective is the increased competition
>and >professionalization of art careers within graduate schools and universities
>which a tight job-market and over-production of MFA's have contributed to.
>In >our professional positions in institutions there is pressure to produce and
>show our "own" work. No matter how successful a collective may be, it is
>still hard to get institutional recognition and support for collective work.
>The process of working with electronic media and digital technologies
>requires interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge. Our challenge is
>increasingly to produce and distribute our activist critical work in and
>through the larger field of the social, and in different venues such as
>clinics, schools, trade shows, public spaces, etc.
>For subRosa this means working with many different individuals, groups, and
>networks-healthworkers, scientists, ecologists, theorists, agriculturalists,
>ecologists, and the like.
