Valie Export Archiv

Sobre el libro Valie Export Archiv de Valie Export publicado por Walther König en 2012:

Whether tattooing a garder-belt onto her thigh before a live audience or wedging her body into the recesses of urban architecture, Valie Export has combated patriarchal structures and cast off inhibitions throughout a career that has consistently refused to conform to any one genre. Perhaps best known for her early experimentations in expanded cinema and her performances of feminist Media Aktionism, Export has amassed a vast oeuvre spanning feature film, digital photography, sculpture and installation. Archive amasses all of this material and more, excavating Export´s own collection of documentation, preparatory drawings, scripts, posters, Polaroids, newspaper clippings and correspondence to provide an unprecedented overview. Each step of the creation process for iconic pieces such as "Tap and Touch Cinema," "Action Pants: Genital Panic" and "BODY SIGN ACTION" are explored along with never-before-seen art objects and brand new pieces, making this volume the definitive Valie Export anthology.
