Das Archiv als ein Ort politischer Konfrontation.
Oder: Wie kann hier widersprochen werden?
Lecture Performance
über das Archiv der VBKÖ (Vereinigung bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs) im Französischen Saal des Künstlerhauses Wien
in Deutsch mit englischen Untertitel / in German with English subtitles

brut (burt, die Bar)
Karlsplatz 5

Eintritt frei! Um Reservierung wird bis zum 11. November 2015 gebeten: info@vbkoe.org
Die Lecture Performance setzt sich mit den Aktivitäten der VBKÖ von der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus bis in die 1980er Jahre auseinander: Welche Art von Ausstellungen wurden organisiert? Wer waren die Mitglieder der Vereinigung? Haben nach 1945 Diskussionen zur Rolle der VBKÖ während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus stattgefunden? Gab es in den 1970er Jahren Kontakt mit lokalen feministischen Kunstbewegungen?
Wir befragen das Archivmaterial nach Kontinuitäten, Lücken und Widerständen und versuchen dabei herauszufinden welchen Handlungsraum die VBKÖ heute bieten könnte. Und: Wie kann eine historische Beschäftigung eine politische Intervention in der Gegenwart sein?
Gefördert aus den Mitteln von SHIFT.

BOOK REVIEW:
CONTEMPORARY TEXTILES: THE FABRIC OF FINE ART
Nadine K. Monem (ed.) (London; Black Dog Publishing Ltd.) 2008
This book is presented as "a comprehensive introduction to textile art", the selected artists "producing some of the most important, inspiring and evocative work being done today" (Monem; 2008 p.6). It features work by sixty artists (including collaborations) whose practice incorporates textile media, with good-quality illustrations and a short text representing each contributor. Nearly half the artists featured are based in the U.S. and a number in the U.K.; fourteen countries are represented overall. The publication encompasses internationally famous figures and relative newcomers, and features a wide range of work, from the embroidery of Tilleke Schwarz and the sculpture of Mike Kelley, to the collages of Rachel Coleman and the installations of Yinka Shonibare.

In contemporary textile publishing, numerous high-quality exhibition catalogues and well-illustrated books are available, profiling individuals and groups of selected textile artists, designers and makers. This volume attempts a wide-ranging contemporary survey of the contested territory where 'textiles as art practice' meets 'fine art'. It is an ambitious project. Sarat Maharaj has theorised the position of textiles as being "an undecidable - as Derrida puts it, something that seems to belong to one genre but overshoots its border and seems no less at home in another."(Maharaj; 2001 p.7) Arguably a high level of expert scholarship and dedication would be required to cover this field fully, containing as it does the problematic nexus between art, design and craft. 'Contemporary Textiles: The Fabric of Fine Art' should be commended for attempting the task.
Artists have long been attracted to textile media, by their potential as carriers of multiple meanings. Cloth is "inscribed within a range of humanist and universalist discourses as a container for full human expression."( Where to eat
Restaurants and Cafés in Enontekiö
opened in 2019 and has fast become a firm favourite in Hetta. The chef and food are excellent and it is well worth a visit. In summer months, it may have a weekly menu but in the tourist months, there are both set lunches and a variety of cakes, waffles etc on offer, from c.11am - 6pm.
Location-wise, the nature and information centre is 2km from the centre of town, at the base of the ski tracks (downhill and cross country), the start of the hike to the top of Jyppyra, etc. The Fell-Lapland Nature Centre itself has two main opening times in the year depending on when it is high and low season. High season is between mid July and end-September and again in March and April. At these times, the Skierri is open from 9am to 5pm daily. Low season months are from May to mid July and again, from September until the end of February. At these times, the Skierri is open Monday to Friday, 9am – 4pm.
The cafe's chef has enduro bikes and enduro E-bikes available to rent (whereas we have fatbikes and E-fats) and also runs a bike repair workshop in case you happen to be biking through and have some issues with your bike.
As with most places in Lapland, the Post Office does not serve only one function. In fact, it is also a flower shop, the main bakery for the region, a cafe, souvenir shop and petrol station! It is the building on the left hand side, half way between the junction to Norway and the village of Hetta, in the direction of the village. This petrol station is far cheaper than the one by the junction to Norway. A very useful additional service is that the post office has open free internet in its cafe.
The grill is open to 8 or 9pm most days and sells what you would imagine – fries, burgers, hot-dogs, beer,
