FemLink: Resistance
Pikkujätkä
17.6.-5.7.2015
Video collage 59 min
You can see really international video art at Pikkujätkä this summer! First we show the video collage Resistance, and 11.-26.7. you can see the video collage Vital, both from Femlink.
FemLink is an international organization connecting female artists from different cultures by creating common art-works, video collages. It is curated by the visual artist and curator Veronique Sapin (France) and the intermedia artist, C.M. Judge (USA).
Video collages are made of short videos (max 2 min) around a common topic. The collage is considered itself as an artistic video work, where its cultural diversity is its root and richness.
Two artists from Finland have taken part of FemLink’s collages: Tanja Koistila and Alli Savolainen.
For centuries, women were forbidden access to creation but also to training and teaching. Either female artists were overlooked by history or those who transgressed the rules were regarded as inferior and relegated to what was derogatorily called “female art.”
Today, many women feel still ostracized in too many parts of the world. As artists, they must be acknowledged – this forms a major component of the Femlink mission.
At Midsummer 19 June – 21 June closed!
