“Give the experimental nature of environments – most of them destroyed right after their display – their art historiography is characterised by a sense of loss,” tells Andrea Lissoni, Artistic Director of Haus der Kunst. “Therefore, the erasure of the fundamental contribution of women is a double loss.” By challenging the almost complete erasure of women from this art form, Inside Other Spaces poses necessary questions about the authorship of art history and the privileging of some, primarily male-centred, histories over others. As we begin to re-address the givenness of patriarchal structures more generally – structures sustained by male-authored histories – these questions could not be more relevant. We can’t change the present without re-addressing the past. Thus, as Lissoni notes, “the reconstruction of these historical and to-be-historicised environments as close to their original condition as possible aims to bridge the gap between then and now and let the works of women artists come to the fore.”
