The texts gathered in this volume embrace women artists-only
exhibitions, festivals, collective art projects, groups and
associations, organised in the long 1970s in Europe (1968-1984).
These all-women art initiatives are closely related to developments
within the political and politicized women's movement in Europe and
America but what emerges is the varied and plural manner of their
engagements with feminism(s) alongside their creation of
'heterotopias' in relation to specific sites/ politics/
collaborative art practices. This book presents examples from
Italy, Spain, UK, Portugal, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Germany (East
and West), The Netherlands, France and Sweden. While each chapter
is largely devoted to one country, the authors point to how the
local and specific political situation in which these initiatives
emerged is linked to global tendencies as well as inter-European
exchanges. Each chapter of this book thus assesses the impact of
travelling views of feminism, by considering connections made
between women artists (often when travelling abroad) or their
knowledge of art practices from abroad. Distinct and highly varied
attitudes towards political activism (from strong engagement to a
clearly pronounced distance and even hostility) are shown in each
essay and, what is more, they are shown as based on radically
different premises about feminism, politics and art. Contributors:
Fabienne Dumont, Annika OEhrner, Katy Deepwell, Elke Krasny, Nina
Hoechtl, Julia Wieger, Monika Kaiser, Kathleen Wentrack, Katia
Almerini, Marcia Oliveira, Agata Jakubowska, and Susanne Altmann.
