Beschreibung
Der gemeinnützige Verein Art5 hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, den transnationalen Dialog zwischen Asien und Europa in Form von kulturellen Projekten wie Ausstellungen, Symposien und Künstler:innenresidenzen zu fördern und zu vermitteln. Bisher konnte er an verschiedenen Orten wie München, Berlin, Seoul, Gwangju oder jüngst Utoro und Kyoto mit Unterstützung vieler Akteur:innen sein Programm sichtbar werden lassen. Diese englischsprachige Publikation zum gleichnamigen Ausstellungsprojekt von 2024 legt nun vier Textbeiträge des begleitenden Symposiums sowie zu den 15 teilnehmenden Künstlerinnen aus Südkorea, China und Japan vor und darf als Diskursbeitrag zu Fragen künstlerischen Handelns in patriarchal geprägtem Umfeldern verstanden werden.
Ausgehend vom Werk der japanischen Malerin, Grafikerin und Frauenrechtlerin Tomiyama Taeko (1921–2021) haben die Herausgeber:innen 14 Künstlerinnen unterschiedlichen Alters und Lebensmittelpunktes für eine Ausstellungbeteiligung angesprochen, die sich im Umfeld dieses Themenkomplexes bewegen. Die Transkripte des Symposium „The 3rd Two-Lectures“ von Dr. Hee Kyoung Chang, Prof. Dr. Ilse Lenz und Dr. Cornelia Oßwald-Hoffmann sowie ein Text von Dr. Hyun Joo Chung, die den Aufbau der Ausstellung begleitete, zusammen mit der Dokumentation der künstlerischen Arbeiten von Jeong A Bang, Eunju Hong, Miji Ih, Hyesun Jung, Jungyeob Jung, Jane-Jin Kaisen, Seulki Ki, Siyoung Kim, Yukiko Nagakura, Fumie Ogura, Mio Okido, Yoshiko Shimada, Haha Wang, Jianling Zhang bieten einen Einblick – keinen Überblick – in das Schaffen und Wirken dieser Künstlerinnen wie auch Autor:innen und bilden und bebildern einen Beitrag zum Komplex feministischer Kunstpraxis südostasiatischer Prägung.
