DYK in the 1960s

#DYK in the 1960s, #VALIEEXPORT pioneered the concept of video installations with her ‘expanded cinema’ works? For example, in ‘Syntagma’ (1983), her 18-minute experimental film presented by @ThaddaeusRopac at #ArtBasel2019, the artist uses a split-screen technique to create multiple versions of herself on a loop as a way of exploring the ‘split-self experience’ of being a woman. #VALIEEXPORT — Related: Tap the *Stories* link in our bio to read #ArtBasel’s interview with Austrian artist and feminist icon. — VALIE EXPORT, ‘Syntagma’ (still), 1983. © VALIE EXPORT, Bildrecht Wien, 2019.
