Studio Visits #4: Susanne Altmann by If I Can't Dance published on 2023-05-15T08:36:42Z Edition IX - Bodies and Technologies If I Can’t Dance curator Megan Hoetger and feminist art historian Susanne Altmann sit down for a conversation about Altmann’s research project ‘When Technology was Female’. Starting from the brief period of the Soviet avant-garde after the First World War, the project traces the period up through the 1960s when new generations of women artists in East Germany, the broader Eastern Bloc, and in Yugoslavia, began to reassess their role(s) and their aesthetic ‘performance’ of femininity. Their works and ways of working were informed by Soviet avant garde media experimentation—principles now critically devoid of promises of the Communist machine age.
