Valie Export – Archiv

The publication presents the artist's work in conjunction with her extensive archive. Works such as Tapp und Tastkino and Aktionshose: Genitalpanik are shown not only as autonomous works, but also within the context of reference material from the archive. This includes newspaper articles and sketches, film scripts, and polaroids, collages and conceptional drawings. The catalogue is conceived as a critical engagement with the work and the subject of archive. The publication contains essays by Yilmaz Dziewior, Jürgen Thaler, and Astrid Wege. With numerous reproductions from the artist's archive, the publication also documents VALIE EXPORT's way of working with which she approaches and engages with a theme.
