Beatriz Preciado
From January to March 2009, the MACBA hosts a series of seminars organised in the context of its Independent Studies Program (PEI). The seminars offer a discursive space in which to analyse the impact of different feminist and queer theories in artistic practices in Spain over the last few decades.
Each seminar in the series is conceived as a monograph on issues such as the relationship between conceptualism and feminism, the different forms of homosexual activism centred on the politics of identity and visibility, and the areas of resistance within discursive and exhibition-based production in Spain.
Son[i]a interviews Beatriz Preciado, a lecturer in the PEI program who also leads the workshop Art After Feminisms.
Paul Beatriz Preciado, co-curator of the show along with Teresa Grandas, talks about the exhibition "The Passion According to Carol Rama". Preciado takes us on a discursive tour through Rama's career, describing the processes of invisibilisation of her work that succeeded each other to the point where she became "completely extemporaneous".
Interview with Judith Butler about politics, economy, control societies, gender and identity.
Interview with Beatriz Preciado about the course "Art after feminism".
