Exhibition view
On the occasion of this year's Graduates' Day of the Johannes Kepler University Linz, the exhibition "framing" took place in the exhibition room of the Johannes Kepler University from May 22 to June 6, 2003.
A joint event of FIFTITU% - Networking Center for Women in Art & Culture in Upper Austria, the Office for the Advancement of Women at the University of Linz and the Institute for Women's and Gender Studies Linz.
"framing" - video works by international female artists from 1973 to 2002
"framing" shows the artists' natural and self-confident approach to video, which in different ways becomes an open space for action.
Personal statements, fictional narratives, altered realities, progressive and traditional notions of the personal and of identity coexist and complicate our ideas of them. The content of what is considered personal does not present itself as fixed, but as determined by social factors. Gender is not simply presented as a natural datum, but is itself socially produced; constantly reconstructed in everyday actions and understood as newly fixed. No matter what ideas we develop about reality, they are not immutable truths, but auxiliary constructions that can, however, solidify into stereotypes. By producing other images, artists point to doubts and limitations and utilize the potential for change that images carry within them.
