Context: The Invisibility of the Female Avant-Garde and the Rise of a Female Tradition in Contemporary Art
The seminar explores the long-time obscured biographies of pre- and post-war female artists and the social, political and material conditions that shaped their pioneering work. In the theoretical framework of contemporary feminist art history, we will look at case studies in a cultural-geographic comparison of artists from Western and Eastern Europe, USA and Latin America.

Inhalte | In 1971 Linda Nochlin, feminist art historian of the first hour, published in ARTNews the provocative essay: "Why have there been no great women artist?" Focusing on the institutional exclusions of female artists predating the 20th century, Nochlin's question was deeply rhetorical: Her study challenged the invisible demarcations of the discipline of art history itself, revealing its meta-historical "naturalization" of patriarchal discourse as an intellectual distortion. Expanding Nochlin's institutional critique into a contemporary perspective, I focus my study, which is the basis for this seminar, on the socio-political, material and production-based conditions for female artists of the prewar modern era (Bauhaus, Dada, Constructivism) and of the period of the 1960s and 70s neo-avant-garde (Pop-Surrealism, Minimal and Post Minimal). Anke Kempkes is an international curator, scholar and art critic currently based in Warsaw. Since her studies at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London in 1991/92 she has contributed to international art publications, magazines and conferences. In 2004 she held the position of Chief Curator at Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland. From 2005-17 Kempkes ran an independent curatorial space, research centre and gallery in New York (Broadway1602). Since 2017 Kempkes is an independent curator of exhibitions in Europe with focus on Female Minimal and Post Minimal Art, and Queer Theatre and Performance Art. Kempkes currently works on a comparative study: The Invisibility of the Female Avant-Garde. |
