Today's previously unknown (to me) work of art...



VALIE EXPORT, "Touch Cinema," 1968, Vienna. [*updated 8/17 with better image]

This piece is an amazing precursor to Mulvey's polemic "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," and a great example of the use of touch in feminist performance (as argued by Peggy Phelan in the WACK! catalogue).

This will definitely figure into my dissertation and upcoming class somehow.

More to come later (this was quick post from phone from inside the blissfully quiet stacks of Bobst)
