Kurzmeldungen & Tipps Körperpolitik - wechselnde Darstellungen palästinensischer Frauen Das Ethnografische und Kunstmuseum der Birzeit Universität gibt eine Ausschreibung zur Beteiligung an einer Ausstellung bekannt, die für September 2011 geplant ist. Die Ausstellung soll sich kritisch damit auseinandersetzen, welche Veränderungen bei Darstellungen von Frauen Palästinas in den visuellen Künsten seit den 1970er Jahren im Rahmen eines sich wandelnden politischen Kontextes vonstatten gingen. Künstlerinnen und Künstler sind aufgerufen, ein Werk zu schaffen, das über dieses Thema reflektiert und bildnerische Darstellungen aus dieser grundlegenden Phase neu interpretiert. Filmemacher/innen sind aufgefordert, ein kurzes Konzept für einen Film einzureichen, der sich mit dem Wandel in den Darstellungen von Frauen in der palästinensischen Kunst auseinandersetzt.
Der Einsendeschluss für Bewerbungen wurde verlängert bis zum
Weitere Informationen: Kurzkonzept: The Body Politic - Changing Representations of Palestinian Women The exhibition is a critical exploration of the transformations in representations of women in Palestinian visual arts within a changing political context. The exhibit will juxtapose the post-1967 iconic or foundational works produced by Palestinian artists where politics in its broadest sense – and meanings of nation, resistance and Palestine itself – were expressed through the female figure in an interplay with notions of women, femininity, motherhood and body with, and against more contemporary representations, using works from as early as the late 1980s and continuing with vigor today. While the foundational works were mostly by male artists – whose representation of the female figure as body politic arguably exhausted itself by the beginning of the Oslo period -- there were several important female artists producing art in a somewhat different, more intimate key. On another level, the 1980s debuts a new dynamics in Palestinian art and a surge of Palestinian women producing art through the 1990s to the present, across different geographies and through various media, employing the female body as a reflection, or a critique, of feminist discourse, environmental themes or other specific contemporary political issues.
The Exhibition The exhibition shall include the following components: 1. Existing Works: Selection of existing works, particularly from the last two decades, that explore, challenge and re-configure representations of Palestinian women. 2. Commissioned works: Artists will be invited to submit a concept brief, competing to create a contemporary work reflecting on and re-imagining the themes and images of the foundational / iconic period. Upon study of the proposed concepts, four artists will be commissioned to participate in the exhibition , with whom the curators will create a working dialogue for the elaboration of the work. See the call above. 3. Video - an analytical art film: Film makers will be invited to submit a concept brief on producing a film that analyses and reflects on issues of change in the representation of women in Palestinian art. Kuratorinnen: Vera Tamari und Inass Yassin
