Artists should br

‘Artists should break rules to develop their practice,’ says #VALIEEXPORT. ‘They have the possibility to create their own set of rules, their own boundaries. They should push these boundaries as far as they can.’ The Austrian artist and feminist icon is best known for her explicit performances, in which she used her body as a tool to lift the lid on the inherent moral hypocrisies of the 1960s and beyond. Timed with a renewed surge of recognition – from a major solo show at @ThaddaeusRopac this November to winning the prestigious Roswitha Haftmann-Preis prize – the trailblazer reflects on 50 years of pushing boundaries, and why she’s focused on the future in our latest #ArtBasel feature by @KarimCrippa.
