Funk, intellectual, feminist, theorist, brave as hell,
vulnerable, funny, VALIE EXPORT was a hero to many women. Since the 1960s, she was driven by a fierce conviction that art
and media would play an essential role in women’s liberation: that women must picture their own reality in the name of social
progress. In Women’s Art: A Manifesto (1972), she wrote that women must “use art as a means of expression, so as to influence
the consciousness of all of us”. What she demanded was revolution. - Hettie Judah, The Guardian
