> Exhibition, workshops, conference.
> A project curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli and Gaia Novati.
> 9 May - 22 June 2008, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien Berlin
> Sponsored by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds, with support from the Institut 
> fuer Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa).
>
> The exhibition project in Berlin, HACK.Fem.EAST, seeks to present 
> experimental and artistic practices of artists and activists working in 
> digital networks in Eastern Europe.
>
> The focus of the exhibition is on presenting a use of media located 
> somewhere between hacking, art and activism which is driven forward by an 
> international counterculture and avant-garde: the main protagonists are 
> women or projects in which women play an important role.
>
> The aim of the project is to provide and to develop a network platform. 
> This will be achieved through five elements: the exhibition, the workshops 
> (Free Space), a conference, a publication in newspaper format, and a 
> website bringing the aspects of the project together.
>
> Existing networks from 11 countries are at the heart of the project and 
> form the basis of the exhibition. A total of 11 networks will be invited 
> to the various rooms of the Kunstraumes Kreuzberg/Bethanien to introduce 
> their work, their strategies and their aims in the form of installations, 
> documentations and presentations. The result is a "network of networks", 
> visualized in the form of video screenings, installations, computer 
> presentations and documents.
>
> The activists will be offering a weekly workshop (Free Space) throughout 
> the duration of the exhibition. The workshops will be based on the 
> respective presentations in the exhibition as well as on and aims and 
> activities that have been developed further in the context of the project.
>
> A conference held at the outset of the project is intended to bring the 
> lines and networks together and discuss on women perspective in the 
> Eastern cultural scenario. Its aim is to provide a forum for a form of 
> politics based on radical invention - media and internet art projects, 
> performances, network platforms, software development, artistic coding, 
> organisation of media festivals, etc. As part of the publicity for the 
> exhibition, a Berlin daily newspaper (taz) will be publishing a so-called 
> NGO-supplement in an edition of 30.000 copies to coincide with the 
> opening. It will include articles that provide an introduction to the 
> subject and give details regarding the programme.
>
> An integral component of the project is of course the website, with an 
> up-to-date and open presentation of the project's processes and 
> developments, summarizing them and putting them up for discussion.
