The catalogue examine the relationship between gender, art and Modernism. It will focus on the question of what kinds of stylistic and visual imagery were developed by women artists in response to the social change, political upheaval and technical innovations of the first half of the last century.
70 female artists from 22 countries - RADIKAL! challenges the concept of modern art as a straightforward, mainly male-driven development. Instead, the exhibition brings together female artists artists from different backgrounds into a dialogue and thus opens up new new perspectives on the diversity and cross-border dimension of modernism.
The selected artists were united by the search for a new visual vocabulary to depict the nature and challenges of modern life and respond to the pressing issues of their time. Their works became an act of rebellion against patriarchy, capitalism, fascism and colonialism. At the same time, the artists questioned traditional role models in their work and addressed the challenges of emancipation and designed possible identities outside the dominant models.
The works in the exhibition can be considered as not only bearing witness to rapidly advancing industrialisation, urbanisation and technological development but also rflecting the complexity and contradictions that came with emancipation and evolving gender roles.
