| Syndicate: Call Axis Reader on Gender and New Media (fwd) |
infofeed ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 16:48:24 +0100 From: Axis <[email protected]> Subject: Call Axis Reader on Gender and New Media **Call Axis Reader on Gender and New Media** (apologies for cross-posting) Axis, the Amsterdam based Foundation for Art and Gender, is publishing its second reader! <www.axisvm.nl/media/indexmain.html> As an organisation querying and promoting gender-critical cultural production, with a strong emphasis on New Media praxis, this reader sets out to illustrate how gendered and technological performances are continuously (re-)negotiated. *Ctrl+Shift Art - Ctrl+Shift Gender* More often than not art still is disciplinary categorised in order to stage a semblance of stability and demarcation. This is very similar to dominant gender ideology, where gender is viewed as a static given, and not as continuously in flux. Developments in New Media seem to have a profound impact on the interrelationships between producers, consumers and their respective participation within the cultural field. The blurring of these controlled categories, and by corollary the shift in representation, forms a fertile matrix for questioning gender issues. *Contribute!* For our reader we are especially interested in pieces addressing the resistance to traditional artistic and gender classifications. Moreover, our main question probes how technological developments have affected and will probably continue to affect the interstices between art and gender representation. Please send us your favourite tips and links before 10.3.2000 (message with subject heading <reader>). In addition to the print version an on-line environment based on the reader will be designed. Participants receive a free copy and our warm smiles!
