FemLink / Vital
Pikkujätkä
11.-26.7.2015
Video collage 43 min
Galleria Huuto’s co-operation with the international organization FemLink continues with the video collage Vital.
FemLink connects 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.
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.
FemLink’s video collages in Pikkujätkä’s summer belong to Galleria Huuto’s series Video Guests.
