About the selection

Various women artists are including their own face as an iconographic object and symbol bearer in their art works, or using the face of others, the former photographic portrait, transcending into the moving image. This video series addresses variant meanings of the woman’s face in a context of women’s issues when embedded in a socio-cultural heritage. The face can be seen as more then a signifier of our cultural norms, in the context of women often foregrounded not only as indicator for individual remembrance, not only associated to cultural norms such as beauty stereotypes, objectification of commodified women in advertisements, and not only as a surface for self-creation when mirroring the self to others, but read as political text and statement in a broader context.

All videos in the selection are part of the online video archive ArtFem.TV.

O izboru

Več umetnic v svoja umetniška dela vključuje lasten obraz kot ikonografski objekt in nosilec simbolov ali pa uporabijo obraz drugih, kot nekdanji fotografski portret, ki prehaja v gibljive slike. Izbor videov obravnava različne pomene ženskega obraza v kontekstu ženskih vprašanj v okviru družbeno-kulturne dediščine. Obraz je mogoče razumeti kot več kot zgolj označevalec naših kulturnih norm. V okviru ženskosti je pogosto v ospredju ne le kot indikator spominjanja posameznice, ne le kot lepotni stereotip, povezan s kulturnimi normami, kot objektivizacija komodificiranja žensk v oglasih, in ne le kot površina za samo-ustvarjanje ob zrcaljenju sebe drugim, temveč kot politična izjava v širšem kontekstu.

Vsi videi vključeni v izbor so del spletnega video arhiva ArtFem.TV.

O kuratorici

Evelin Stermitz živi in dela med Avstrijo in Slovenijo. Zaključila je magistrski študij iz novih medijev na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani in magisterij iz medijskih študijev. Njeno umetniško delovanje lahko uvrstimo v polje medijske in novomedijske umetnosti z glavnim poudarkom na poststrukturalističnih feminističnih praksah. Sodelovala je na mednarodni poletni umetniški šoli v organizaciji Univerze v Beogradu in na mednarodni umetniški poletni šoli v Salzburgu, v razredu medijske umetnosti pod vodstvom VALIE EXPORT. Poleg lastne umetniške prakse raziskuje tudi položaj umetnic v okviru medijske in novomedijske umetnosti. Evelin Stermitz je leta 2008 ustanovila ArtFem.TV – Art and Feminism ITV (www.artfem.tv). Za projekt je leta 2010 prejela posebno omembo na devetem mednarodnem festivalu podobe v Kolumbiji (IX Festival Internacional de la Imagen, University of Caldas, Manizales).
