--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hallo everybody,
We are organizing an exhibition project at Kunstraum
Kreuzberg/Bethanien
in Berlin, sponsored by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds,
with support from
the
Institut fuer Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa). The
exhibition is opening on
Firday, 9 May 2008 and is going on till 22 June.
Exhibition's topic is HACK.Fem.EAST - Women and
technology in networks
in the Eastern countries. We would like to involve
women from Slovenia,
Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro,
Rumenia, Hungary,
Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Latvia and
the other Baltic
countries to present their work. You can find the
project's description
above: main topics are media, art and hacking.
Central idea is to involve artists to develop
independetely their
concept in one of the 14 rooms of the Kunstraum
Bethanien and be part
of
the network formed by the all groups and
arsists/activists.
We have already contacted some people, but we are
still looking for
interesting projects to add in the exhibition.

Best,
Tatiana Bazzichelli and Gaia Novati

HACK.Fem.EAST
Women and technology in networks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exhibition, workshops, conference.
A project curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli and Gaia
Novati.
9 May - 22 June 2008, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien
Berlin
Sponsored by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds, with support
from the Institut
fuer Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa).
The exhibition project in Berlin, HACK.Fem.EAST, seeks
to present
experimental and artistic practices of artists and
activists working in
digital networks in Eastern Europe.
The focus of the exhibition is on presenting a use of
media located
somewhere between hacking, art and activism which is
driven forward by
an international counterculture and avant-garde: the
main protagonists
are women or projects in which women play an important
role.
The aim of the project is to provide and to develop a
network platform.
This will be achieved through five elements: the
exhibition, the
workshops (Free Space), a conference, a publication in
newspaper
format,
and a website bringing the aspects of the project
together.
Existing networks from 11 countries are at the heart
of the project and
form the basis of the exhibition. A total of 11
networks will be
invited
to the various rooms of the Kunstraumes
Kreuzberg/Bethanien to
introduce
their work, their strategies and their aims in the
form of
installations, documentations and presentations. The
result is a
"network of networks", visualized in the form of video
screenings,
installations, computer presentations and documents.
The activists will be offering a weekly workshop (Free
Space)
throughout
the duration of the exhibition. The workshops will be
based on the
respective presentations in the exhibition as well as
on and aims and
activities that have been developed further in the
context of the
project.
A conference held at the outset of the project is
intended to bring the
lines and networks together and discuss on women
perspective in the
Eastern cultural scenario. Its aim is to provide a
forum for a form of
politics based on radical invention - media and
internet art projects,
performances, network platforms, software development,
artistic coding,
organisation of media festivals, etc. As part of the
publicity for the
exhibition, a Berlin daily newspaper (taz) will be
publishing a
so-called NGO-supplement in an edition of 30.000
copies to coincide
with
the opening. It will include articles that provide an
introduction to
the subject and give details regarding the programme.
An integral component of the project is of course the
website, with an
up-to-date and open presentation of the project's
processes and
developments, summarizing them and putting them up for
discussion.
