In the 1990s, ORLAN caused a sensation with surgical operations performed on her body, but it was as early as 1964, at the age of 17, that she gave birth to her artistic self. Since then, she has continuously recreated herself and keenly explored the concept of identity. In her “carnal art,” the body becomes both subject and object. This publication traverses the six decades of ORLAN’s oeuvre, revisiting her early performances in particular. One of her most recent creations is the ORLAN-OÏDE robot, and thanks to an augmented reality app, ORLAN avatars come to life and emerge from this richly illustrated volume. The political status of the body is made evident through all of her works: in 1989 she transformed Gustave Courbet’s famous painting L’origine du monde into L’origine de la guerre by replacing the vulva with the phallus. The statement has not lost any of its topicality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742576976145,"sku":"NGR9783775754323","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3775754326.jpg?v=1751350844"},{"product_id":"feminist-avant-garde-of-the-1970-s-book-gabriele-schor-9783791354460","title":"Schor G., Feminist Avant-Garde","description":"This book documents a tectonic change in the way women portray themselves in art. Historically, women were depicted as a projection of male fantasies, prejudices and relationships. However in the 1970s, for the first time, female artists began to investigate visual representations of their own selves. They studied their own bodies and created the prospect of determined feminine identities. Editor Gabriele Schor explores the Feminist Avant-Garde to emphasise the role that these artists played for the last four decades. The results are provocative, radical, poetic, ironic, angry, cynical and heartfelt. Most of all they are honest, sharing a collective consciousness that reassessed and even rejected, what came before, turning to new ways of expression in the fields of photography, performance, film and video. Included here are works by Cindy Sherman, Ana Mendieta, Nil Yalter, Ketty La Rocca, Birgit Jurgenssen, Renate Bertlmann, Francesca Woodman and other fearless female artists from around the world. Their work explored the female experience in all its dimensions - pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, sexuality, partnership, beauty standards, rape and the female body.Each artist is introduced by an essay and the volume also includes fascinating interviews with leading curators in the field of feminist art. This important book emphasises the accomplishments of women artists who have made a name for themselves while encouraging and inspiring those who have come after them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50403692183825,"sku":"CIN3791354469A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3791354469.jpg?v=1751467476"},{"product_id":"feminist-avant-garde-book-gabriele-schor-9783791359717","title":"Feminist Avant-Garde","description":"Now available again in an expanded edition and featuring a variety of work from artists both well-known and under the radar, this volume explores the pioneering achievements of the Feminist Avantgarde.

Depending on whether the artwork is in a gallery, in a museum, in a depot, in the auction house, in private rooms of collectors, its presence, impact and message change. Lawler does not change the particular situation in which she takes the artwork, but points to it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In conjunction with the Vienna exhibition at the Collection's Vertical Gallery, the Sammlung Verbund is also publishing this book, which was created in close collaboration with the artist. Its starting point is the twenty-seven artworks acquired by the Sammlung Verbund Collection, juxtaposed to related works which result in an exciting dialogue between one hundred works of art in colour and black and white. The reader is asked to sharpen her or his perception to find the subtle similarities and differences between the presented works. Repetition, multiplication and slight variation in her motive are the artist's core conceptual methods. A conversation between Gabriele Schor, the Collection´s founding director, Jessica Morgan, director of the Dia Art Foundation, and the curator Philipp Kaiser sheds insight into these aspects of Louise Lawler's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52762465632529,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52762465960209,"sku":"NIN9783960984511","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783960984511.jpg?v=1778147238"},{"product_id":"care-matters-book-gabriele-schor-9783422803923","title":"CARE MATTERS","description":"German edition   Care, welfare and nurturing work ensure the foundations of human coexistence.
