The Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila (°1959) is occupying M with seven film installations. A tour of her very first Belgian solo exhibition will reveal the evolution in her work. While in the past, she explored people’s inner lives, her more recent work is about worldviews, such as the possibility to feel empathy.

New York-based artist Elaine Reichek's first solo exhibition in Austria opens at Vienna's Secession

New York-based artist Elaine Reichek's first solo exhibition in Austria opens at Vienna's Secession | Art and gender | Scoop.it

"VIENNA.- For more than four decades, Elaine Reichek has been working on a critical and feminist reading of historical texts and images. The analytical engagement with narratives from myth and literature and the reflection on their social function as a medium of cultural cohesion run through the artist’s oeuvre like the thread that Ariadne gave to Theseus so that he would find his way out of the Minotaur’s labyrinth.

In her first solo exhibition in Austria, the New York-based artist presents works from the past eleven years that explore the figures of the “Minoan girls” and the stories of lust, seduction, cruelty, and betrayal associated with them: Europa, Pasiphaë, Phaedra, and Ariadne."

Virginia Woolf: An Exhibition Inspired by her Writings at Tate, St Ives

Virginia Woolf: An Exhibition Inspired by her Writings at Tate, St Ives | Art and gender | Scoop.it

"Virginia Woolf, pioneer of modernist fiction and all-around icon, is the raison d’être for a new exhibition at Tate St Ives. Her writings provide the connective tissue — whether “tangible, anecdotal, geographic or imagined,” said Laura Smith, Exhibitions and Displays Curator — among a selection of international feminist artists."


Virginia Woolf: An Exhibition Inspired by her Writings at Tate St Ives is on view February 10 to April 29, 2018.
