Founded in 1984 by women around Gabriele Stötzer, the Erfurt Women
Artists’ Group pursued a radically creative lifestyle to counter
the rigid structures of everyday life in the GDR, over a period of
ten years. Subversive, witty, borne of a liberating sense of
defiance against normative gender roles, their artistic expressions
provide an insight into the little-known feminist subculture in the
GDR. Their pioneering role in terms of an exploration of female
identity is particularly reflected through five experimental Super
8 films, subsequent live performances, and fashion-object shows.
Often unfolding intuitively from sequences of audio, dance, and
literary elements, self-created and provocative costumes that
served as alter egos of the artists took centre stage. Their
political commitment culminated in December 1989 in the first
occupation of a Stasi, State Security Service, headquarters,
initiated by five women, three of whom were part of the group.
Every month, the art association HMKV presents the latest videos by
international artists in its series "HMKV Video of the Month" which
has been ongoing since March 2014. The idea for the series came
from the desire to show the newest artistic productions in rapid
succession, changing works at a faster pace than in the exhibitions
of the HMKV. For the first time, this publication unites all 78
works that have been exhibited since 2014. The videos address a
variety of different topics and stories, ranging from labour
conditions, structural changes, speculative technologies, or
posthuman machines to technology (and its history) as well as
artificial intelligence. A wide array of works is devoted to the
old 'new' right-wingers and the alt-right. The book not only shows
stills of all videos, but each work is also accompanied by an
introductory text to provide a comprehensive overview. Text in
English and German.
