n.paradoxa Booklist

Search by Country

Notes: Monographs and individual artists' exhibition catalogues are not included in this list, except where they are explicitly feminist and provide a key role model for feminist art practice. You can look at exhibitions and anthologies separately by moving to those pages. For authors' last names use capital letter first. For those beginning with "A", type "A" or use the first 3 letters of their last name.
The country search uses full English names, e.g. The Netherlands, except for USA and UK. "International" (use Capital "I") is the category used for projects where artists from more than 3 countries are involved. Books and exhibitions under "International" are in addition to those listed as individual countries. New sections have been added for geographical regions/ continents: Asia, Africa, Pacific, Middle East, South America, Scandanavia. These categories are in addition to individual countries listed. So, for searches in Africa, look also in Nigeria and Egypt.
The title search is limited to words used in the title, it does not provide a keyword or subject search facility. This search is for one word only, no boolean (multiple) searches are supported. Artists' last names can also be searched in the title section, if they are in a book or exhibition title.

Martina Pachmanova Vìrnost v pohybu / Mobile Fidelity (text in Czech only)

Prague, One Woman Press, 2001 ISBN 80-86356-10-8 A feminist viewpoint is still not frequently used in the Czech art criticism. Martina Pachmanova, a major supporter of feminist approaches in the field of art history, has decided to provide especially the younger generation of both critics and artists with a dozen views on feminism and its role in art and visual culture.

Pachmanova's searching for a less academic form and a theoretically less structured interview seems to be an ideal vehicle for this purpose. The flow of spoken words makes more visible the general fields of interest of the inteviewees who represent diverse branches of feminist cultural practice. Next to those who helped to shape feminism more than thirty years ago (Linda Nochlin, Martha Rosler) there are the younger academicians or artists (Amelia Jones, Mira Schor) whose attitudes have refreshed feminism and adapted it to current developments in visual culture. The discussed topics are art history, subjectivity and identity, aesthetics, sexual politics, public space and art institutions, However, a thin red line links all the interviews and is formed by a few recurring questions: Is it possible to redefine feminist art history? If yes, then how? Should feminist artists work within or outside the current art institutional structures? How can women be represented in art? Is the social and political involvement of artists, a dated practice? And last but not least, is American feminist practice valid in the new democracies of the Central and Eastern Europe? The book does not provide the reader with clear answers but is definitely food for thought.

Martina interviews Linda Nochlin, Natalie Boymel Kampen, Kaja Silverman, Susan Rubin Suleiman, Amelia Jones, Mira Schor, Jo Anna Isaak, Janet Wolff, Martha Rosler, Marcia Tucker and Carol Duncan.

Editor's note: Martina Pachmanova's interview with Kaja Silverman was Review reproduced in English in n.paradoxa Vol. 6, July 2000.
