Dismissed as a âlocalâ event and a marginal issue, feminism in art and culture imposed, contrariwise, as an unprecedented phenomenon with global extension, with direct, radical or moderate impact according to the different context of each cultural area. Feminist art and theory had a groundbreaking impact and effect in art history from the 1960s. Feminist art theory has proved to be extremely resourceful and opened new ways of approaching the artistic phenomenon. The session designed by the Institute aims to create the possibility of a dialogue among theoreticians from diffrent cultural areas, to establish contacts between Romanian and foreign curators, critics, professors, theoreticians and artists. Comparing perspectives on feminist issues and discussing ways and means to explore art history and culture through a relevant feminist discourse can contribute to transforming the local contemporary attitude towards feminist art theory and practice in a natural environment of discussion. From approaches on womenâs contribution to art and culture or the reevaluation of womenâs representation in terms of gender stereotypes within culture and various periods of art history, to actual feminist art criticism in the current state of feminist discourse, to approaching theories/histories or marginal histories of feminist art practices, this session aims to be an introduction to the issues of feminist art history and a platform for theoretical debate. The different forms of analysis are to be placed in relation to a variety of feminist theories of gender, politics, experience, social and cultural mores, historical understanding, different methods of feminist art criticism and discussion of different working practices and cultural concerns. This event is meant to underline the importance of the feminist discourse in art and culture mostly today when we are questioning its relevance.  Olivia Nitis art critic&curator e-mail: [email protected] phone: 0747491279 http://olivia.experimentalproject.ro www.perspectiveproject.ro _______________________________________________ Nettime-ro mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ro --> arhiva: http://amsterdam.nettime.org/
