Abstract
Drawing on exhibitions and performances presented by If I Can’t Dance during Edition II – Feminist Legacies and Potentials in Contemporary Art Practice (2006–08), twelve critical thinkers confront twelve artists from the perspective of historical and present-day feminism in art. Accordingly, twelve collaborative essays reflect on the state and importance of feminism for art and show how artists today reactivate the past via visual and conceptual “homage”, exploring current ideas of political mobilization and engagement. Conversation Pieces is a fruitful starting point from which to discuss subjectivity, social roles, and the politics of performance.
