Ptqk Blogzine: Maria Ptqk is writing her blogzine http://ptqkblogzine.blogspot.com since 2004. In the interview with Rosa Reitsamer, Maria Ptqk talks about her way into feminism, cyberfeminism and her blogging experience.

Topic: 
Activism
Art
Do-It-Yourself
Teaser Image: 

Can you shortly introduce yourself?
It's difficult because I have a heterogeneous background. Sometimes I am a producer or assistant for other people, sometimes a curator, an art critic or a teacher. I have a hybrid profile in the cultural field, so I consider myself as a cultural researcher. The topics I am interested on are situated at the crossroads between technology, media, cultural and gender studies, but it changes with my obsessions. My academic background is law and economics. I don't have any formal training in art. In this field I am completely do-it-yourself.

"Im Stadtraum sichtbar zu machen, was diejenigen denken und fühlen, die ihr eigenes Land verlassen haben und nun in einem neuen Land leben, ist das Ziel von migrantas. Mobilität, Migration und Transkulturalität sind in unserer Welt keine Ausnahme, sondern die Regel. Trotzdem sind Migrantinnen und ihre Erfahrungen für die Mehrheit der Gesellschaft meist unsichtbar. Migrantas thematisiert Migration, Identität und interkulturellen Dialog und bedient sich in seinen Projekten der Werkzeuge der Kunst, des Designs und der Sozialwissenschaften.

Gender Art Net

Location

Germany

GenderArtNet is an experimental mapping project exploring the interrelation of gender, ethnicity, race, class and sexualities in contemporary Europe.

GenderArtNet’s primary aim is to thematically link the various existing online resources of feminist and queer artists, projects and networks rather than provide yet another user platform for artist profiles. By connecting existing, often remote, online resources, we would like to improve the accessibility and readability of these resources while keeping the memory of feminist artistic and cultural production in the broader Europe alive.

By organising this information in a map, we work to provide contexts, connections, and relations between artists, artworks and networks and between geopolitics and artistic practice. Our starting point is a relational understanding of feminism as a critical, multilayered practice that considers the interrelatedness of various forms of social, political and cultural hierarchies and exclusions along the lines of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, bodily ability, race, class and geopolitical location.

Artist Cordelia Donohoe has work currently showing as part of a V Day photography exhibition 5th – 20th March 2010 at the New Players Theatre, Villiers Street. London.

Topic: 
Art
Gender studies
Girls and young women
Sex and sexualities
Teaser Image: 

Tell me about the work you have been doing.
My recent bodies of work are around the notion of the prostitute, they are part of a dialogue about what creating a sexualized identity and advertising on the internet might mean. I take apart the process of taking photographs, I also use text and collage to question what one is seeing and who is being addressed. It is also a personal journey about my own relationship to my womanliness.

How did you get into doing this?

Feminist Art Base

Location

United States

Welcome to the Feminist Art Base, the first online digital archive dedicated solely to feminist art. This ever-growing database offers profiles from the most prolific contributors to feminist art from the 1960s to the present. Each profile includes multiple images, video and audio clips, short biographies, CVs, and "Feminist Artist Statements."

Our goal is to make this groundbreaking archive a comprehensive resource for artists, curators, scholars, and the general public. We see this database as an integral tool for accomplishing the mission of the Center: to present feminism in an approachable and relevant manner; to educate new generations about the meaning of feminist art; and to raise awareness of feminism's cultural contributions.

The Art History Archive - Feminist Art

Location

United States

Especially since the late 1960s, when the feminist art movement can be said to have emerged, women have been particularly interested in what makes them different from males — what makes women artists and their art different from male artists and their art. This has been most prominent in the United States, Britain, and Germany, although there are numerous precursors to the movement, and it has spread to many other cultures since the 1970s.
