SCCA-Ljubljana web-master, Vesna Bukovec is participating artist at the video screenings in Udarnik Cinema. From the data base of the video programming online platform ArtFem.TV, a monthly selection of works is screened at the cinema Udarnik in Maribor, Slovenia. The selection of works is chosen each month on an issue of contexts in the feminist field by Evelin Stermitz

Program for January 2011
The Home / La Maison / DOMA

From the 1970s onward and in the tradition in video art, circling around the self within a private space, this issue has been expressed by early video artists such as Martha Rosler, Nina Sobell, Suzanne Lacy, Janice Tanaka, and others, through performance pieces in a critical engagement around female subject constructions and definitions. But in which way is a new generation articulating and negotiating the private space within this field of a traditional women’s space? This video selection shows black and white images from the 1970s as well as current video works.

Vesna Bukovec is participating with videos:

• Everything I eat turns to health, beauty and love
• I can create positive change
• I love myself for who I am
• I trust in the process of life
• Moje sanje, lepo stanovanje/The Happiest Apartment in the World
