»Nachfügung«, from the series »Körperkonfigurationen«, 1974
VALIE EXPORT (* 1940)
GALLERY OPENING HOURS
We will be happy to open for you on request!
In her series »Körperkonfigurationen« (body configurations), VALIE EXPORT questions body language – as a gender-specific, socially and historically coded concept. The Austrian media artist pursues a critical practice by positioning herself into architectural and landscape environments, taking photographs and graphically accentuating the prints. In doing so, she inscribes the female body in a pictorial space determined by patriarchal visual conventions and attempts to break up these structures.
