She-wolves: erotism, love, body. [Exhibition]

Abstract

The exploration into a liberated female body and sexuality is key to the work and research of several women video and film pioneers in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.  Inspired by the famous book by Clarissa Pinkola Estès, "Women who run with the wolves" (1992) and the figure of the she-wolf, the exhibition entitled SHE-WOLVES_EROTISM>LOVE>BODY explores erotism, love and the body. The selection includes early video artworks by Antonie Frank Grahamsdaughter, Bettina Gruber, Živa Kraus, Lydia Schouten and Maria Vedder.  The exhibition of historic work is complemented by a contemporary video by Elisabetta di Sopra, which evokes a female shamanic figure who explores and guides us into nature.
