Hackney Wick: The Changing Face of London
John Rogers, 2021, 12 min (extract)

Artist Valie Export (b. Linz, Austria, 1940) is known for a body of film, video, performance and installation work focusing on the embodied position of the female artist situated in the contemporary patriarchal dystopia. Emerging from the same post-war context of generational reckoning that spawned Viennese Aktionism, Export’s work eschews the Aktionists’ self-abusing quests for catharsis, creating instead intimately mediated performances, that, while just as confrontational and assertively body-based, present darker critiques of media and representation while exploring the politics of eroticism and presenting subtly bitter attacks on bourgeois consumption and relations.

The British experimental filmmaker Stanley Schtinter presents new film works, as well as releases from his purge.xxx label, for the first time in Cologne.
