Considerations on the Meaning of Absence Part I
T0
This first day focuses on the internationally distinguished multi-media Czech-Canadian artist and cultural theorist Vera Frenkel whose work is currently being exhibited at the Freud Museum. She will talk about her installation and video works that deal with the meaning of absence in the context of post Holocaust and other social conditions of exile, fantasies of redemption, and the aesthetic-technical contexts of cyber-virtuality. A theoretical and historical context for the discussion of this work will be provided by Sigrid Schade, leading feminist art historian from the University of Bremen and author of Art as Loot, and Ryczard Kluczczinski, Polish curator of new media art. Other speakers are Griselda Pollock, whose many books include Differencing the Canon: Feminist Desire and the Writing of Art Histories, Dot Tuer, and Elizabeth Legg.
