The Institute of Contemporary Art in Dunaujvaros, Hungary presents 'Private Views: Space re/cognised in contemporary art from Estonia and Britain' curated by Pam Skelton and Mare Tralla. Opening will take place on 9th of July 1999 at 18.00. The exhibition 'Private Views' was originally made for the Estonian Art Museum in June, 1998. The project has been presented in Finland, Yugoslavia, Netherlands and United Kingdom. 'Private Views' presents new works in photography, video, film, installation and digital art from Estonia and Britain. Artists from the diverse socio-cultural environments of Eastern and Western Europe explore and re/cognise space within the transformed geography. In this exhibition SPACE is reclaimed and occupied in provocatively different ways through personal stories, desires, histories and fantasies. Through their work each artist challenges the way women have been traditionally associated with space by providing the possibilities for a critical re-appraisal of artistic practice in relation to gender across cultural spaces. The show also considers a commentary on the disparate and possibly antagonistic meanings of space in the fast transforming landscape of European culture where technology promises new configurations of private and public spaces while exploring the multiple meanings in the consciousness of women artists from different cultures. Private Views explodes the conventional myths which shapes the dominate ideologies of East and West Europe by disrupting those myths and ideologies which are present in both societies. Private Views creates spaces for exciting dialogues in which the deconstruction of space is seen as the adventure of its reconstruction. ARTISTS: Susan Brind, Naomi Dines, Group F.F.F.F, Marit Folstad, Anu Juurak, Eve Kiiler, Mari Koort, KIWA, Ene-Liis Semper, Pam Skelton, S.Girls, Mare Tralla, Annika Tonts, Sonja Zelic.
