"Fame et infamia. The Infamy of the nameless" is an exhibition of significant artworks of one of Austria's most important contemporary female artists: Valie Export. Feminist artwork from the 1960s and 70s is experiencing a phase of renewed international relevance, and Valie Export's media and performance art counts among the most radical European positions of that time. This exhibition marks the first time the artist has exhibited alongside a historical collection. Her works engage in conversation with Archduke Ferdinand II's (1529-1595) Ambras collection, offering another view of its objects and exhibition history, wherein the FAMA - the history of illustrious and victorious personages - encounter the INFAMIA: history's insubordinate, marginalized, and oppressed individuals. This furthermore creates a stimulating and surprising convergence of the male principal of dominance with the female principal of submission in gestures of empathetic humanity and rebellion, set in the present and in the past. Exhibition: Schloss Ambras, Innsbruck, Austria (22.03.-30.06.2018),

Work Description
This dense script, which has been unearthed during the archival research for the exhibition of Neuen Berliner Kunstverein, assembled from a universal collection of materials, can now be presented to the public. VALIE EXPORT?s work was ahead of its time in its anticipation of the body?s emplacement in digital capitalism and the latter?s interactions with new media, artificial intelligence, and social media. One aspect of what makes The Virtual Body. From the Prosthetic to the Post-biological Body significant and worth studying is its insistence that, in the face of the symbolic instability of entertainment cinema, commercial TV, and digital broadcasting (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms) that cannot articulate more than their utter disconnect from reality, expanded cinema still has something important to say about the contemporary world.
