PUBLICATION EDITION II
In 2010, If I Can't Dance… will proudly present its second publication in the field of performative art practices entitled Feminist Legacies and Potentials in Contemporary Art Practice. Drawing from the exhibitions and performances presented by If I Can’t Dance…, eleven critical thinkers will confront eleven artists from the perspective of historical and present-day feminism in art.
Accordingly, eleven collaborative essays will reflect on the state and importance of feminism for the practice of art and will show how artists today reactivate the past via visual and conceptual ‘homage’ and explore current ideas of political mobilization and engagement. Feminism, in Feminist Legacies and Potentials, is a fruitful starting point to discuss topics of individuality and subjectivity, of social roles and the politics of performance.
The list of artists in the publication includes Frances Stark, Falke Pisano, Will Holder, Haegue Yang, Jutta Koether, Karl Holmqvist, Sarah Pierce, Maria Pask, Stefanie Seibold, Alexandra Bachzetsis and the The Otolith Group.
Essays are written by Diana McCarty, Jan Verwoert, Binna Choi, Peio Aguirre, Lisette Smits, Patricia Grzonka, Frederique Bergholtz, Paul O'Neill, Annie Fletcher, Vanessa Desclaux and Dieter Roelstraete. Design of Feminist Legacies and Potentials is by graphic designer Maureen Mooren.
