re.act.feminism is series of exhibitions, video archives, live performances, and conferences, that “takes an exemplary inventory of this gender-critical performance art and asks about its resonance in current artistic productions, in the form of re-enactments, re-appropriations, new formulations or documentary and archival projects...The performance art that developed since the 1960s and 70s was permeated by ideas of social emancipation and was largely influenced by artists who were close to feminism. Performance art sought to intertwine art and life, private and public. It offered an ideal medium to reveal or undermine attributions of (female) identity and to reinvent oneself as acting subjects. Performance was also a new art form, beyond traditional art venues, a medium for collective and social intervention.”
