Friday, April 16, 2010, 4–8 p.m. at uqbar



With contri­bu­ti­ons among others by Bettina Knaup (inde­pen­dent cura­tor, Berlin), Nico­las Malevé (data acti­vist, Cons­tant vzw, Brus­sels), Maria Ptqk (inde­pen­dent cura­tor, Bilbao / Berlin), Anne Quiry­nen (artist & profes­sor of Euro­pean Media Studies, Pots­dam), Femke Snel­ting (artist, desig­ner, Cons­tant vzw, Brus­sels & De Geuzen, Amster­dam), Bojana Pejic (cura­tor, Berlin).



Gende­rArt­Net is an expe­ri­men­tal mapping project that contex­tu­a­li­ses and connects artists, artis­tic prac­ti­ces, projects and orga­ni­sa­ti­ons explo­ring the inter­re­la­tion of gender, ethni­city, race, class and sexu­a­li­ties in contem­po­rary Europe. Its 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, resour­ces, we would like to improve their acces­si­bi­lity and reada­bi­lity while keeping the memory of femi­nist artis­tic and cultu­ral produc­tion in the broa­der Europe alive. By orga­ni­sing this infor­ma­tion in an expe­ri­men­tal map, we work to provide contexts, connec­ti­ons, and rela­ti­ons between artists, artworks and networks and between geopo­li­tics and artis­tic prac­tice.

The presen­ta­tion will take place at uqbar and will be held in English.



The project was made possi­ble through a grant by the Euro­pean Cultu­ral Foun­da­tion, Amster­dam (ECF) and the coope­ra­tion of the Euro­pean Media Studies pogramme, jointly offe­red by Univer­sity of Pots­dam and Univer­sity of Applied Science Pots­dam.
