Recent postings have hit a rich vein with exhibitions on artists and concepts which challenge the patriarchal, hegemonic status quoโฆ through an exploration of diversity and the enunciation of different points of view.

As a pioneer of performance art, installation art and video art, EXPORT has consistently broken through the boundaries separating media genres, while using her own body as an artistic medium. Photography has always played a key role in her practice โ be it for documentary or experimental purposes, as an element in multimedia installations or as art in its own right. Participants had to maintain eye contact with EXPORT for a defined period of time while touching her, with the artist thereby reversing the voyeuristic male gaze, a typical feature of cinema.
