Dear Artists!
We would like to invite women artists working in the fields of
cyberfeminism and new media to an open exhibition starting on March 8,
2007, the International Women’s Day, in the rooms of the Austrian
Association of Women Artists, Vienna. The founding of this first artists
association in Austria in 1910 was a reaction to the general exclusion
of women artists from the artworld and resulted from the first women’s
movements and its international networking. We see feminisms today for
the most part as being depoliticized. Therefore, past forward focuses on
the question: how are depoliticizing aspects emerging today in light of
global politics?
We are opening a public space for an exhibition, real meetings,
presentations, panels, discussions, performances, concerts,
happenings …
past forward will become a great gathering of cyberfeminists and
new media artists.
past forward, cyber fems virtual real: Participation in the exhibition
cyber fems virtual real is free by submitting your project websites (net
art projects, websites including video, animations, interactivity,
poetry, activism, personal websites, virtual women spaces …).
Online works will be presented both as real paper hangings and as
online room installation projections as cyber fems virtual real.
past forward, cyber fems real saturday meetings: You are also invited to
propose a presentation, panel, discussion, performance, concert,
happening or djane acting for the cyber fems real saturday meetings
taking place throughout March, 2007.
