Opening Speech: Claudia Marion Stemberger
The question No more bad girls? opens up perspectives on contemporary female artists who no longer exclusively reflect on gender binarisms, rather at the same time also reveal multiple identity categories, such as life situations of migrants, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or ethnic origin. With a critical awareness of a hegemonic, white, canonic feminism the exhibition uncovers complex dimensions of a deconstruction of culturally-informed stereotypes of femininity, which refer to heterogeneous spatial contexts without suggesting chronological stages of development.
Framework Programme:
May 8, 2010, 2:00pm: Panel discussion with Edith Futscher
June 10, 2010, 07:00pm: Panel discussion with Nora Sternfeld
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, edited by Claudia Marion Stemberger and Kathrin Becker: 84 pages, contextual essays (English and German), numerous colour images. ISBN 978-3-200-01861-7

Introduction: Claudia Marion Stemberger
What constitutes identity today? is one of the questions posed by the curatorial team at Fotogalerie Wien in the context of the annual Theme of Focus for 2010. The three-part exhibition series focuses on the issues of identity at present, in its multi-faceted and processual form. It includes presenting artistic positions who mirror the inconclusive and, more particularly, the ambiguous aspects of identity of today’s late modernist subject: The artists visualize how the interwoven formation of personal and collective identities paradoxically oscillate between internal and external determinations of the self.
