Beschrijving
Tent. Annandal-on-Hudson, Hessel Museum of Art, Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, 25-06-2016, 25-09-2016. - Groepstentoonstelling toont een selectie van de verzameling hedendaagse kunst van het museum waarbij de gelijknamige film van de Oostenrijkse kunstenares en feministe Valie Export als inspiratiebron fungeerde. - Invisible Adversaries is inspired by the eponymous 1976 feature film by the radical Austrian artist Valie Export. The film presents a woman's struggle to retain her sense of self against hostile alien forces that appear increasingly ubiquitous, colonizing the minds of all those around her. Motifs from the film - among them, architecture's influence on identity; feminist critique; and the power of political fantasy - operate as filters through which to consider significant pieces from the Marieluise Hessel Collection
