For this first European exhibition on Female Pop Art, Evelyne Axell’s work is shown through 18 works dating from 1964 till 1970.<\/p>\n

“The next great moment in history is ours!”<\/em> Dorothy Iannone<\/p>\n

Rediscovering outstanding women Pop artists, POWER UP fulfils Dorothy Iannone\u2019s combative promise after fifty years. The show aims at the reinterpretation of an art movement that until today has primarily been associated with male protagonists. Plastic, loud colours, reduced forms, and graphic contours \u2013 the nine women artists\u2019 works on display resemble those of their male colleagues in many respects. Whereas their works appeal to the taste of the masses, these artists, as pioneers of Feminism, have remained belligerent and critical. They reveal the consumer culture\u2019s superficiality, exposing the commodity myth as an empty shell like Christa Dichgans, ironically transforming everyday objects to oversized kitsch objects like Jann Haworth, or exploring mass media clich\u00e9s and superstar constructions like Rosalyn Drexler. Like Sister Corita, a committed peace activist, they took a clear stand on the sixties\u2019 social and political events such as the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/p>\n

The exhibition pursues its political perspective in those instances where the era\u2019s current notions of what a woman is are revised by different views: Kiki Kogelnik and Marisol describe the corset in which the representation of women by themselves and by others is caught, while Evelyne Axell or Dorothy Iannone provocatively display the nude body, love, and sexuality, and, like Niki de Saint Phalle, attract the viewer\u2019s attention with sophisticated modes of self-presentation.<\/p>\n
