Close-Up presents a retrospective on the moving-image works of radical Austrian artist and provocateur VALIE EXPORT. In partnership with the ACF London and in conjunction with the Photographers’ Gallery Feminist Avant Garde exhibition they’ve brought together almost five decades of works, divided into six distinct programmes that include her early short films and videos, radical performances, feature length fiction films and documentaries.
This season presents just a cross section of an enormously diverse, frequently controversial oeuvre, but nonetheless highlights EXPORT’s commitment to producing challenging, theoretically engaged polemics throughout her technologically groundbreaking practice.
