Secretariat for Ghosts, Archival Politics and Gaps
Ghosts shadow the Austrian Association of Women Artists (VBKÖ)—its rooms, archive, hi/herstory/ies! The VBKÖ was founded in 1910 and it was one of the first organizations in Europe to represent the artistic and economic interests of women artists and to help women artists to participate in exhibitions, educations and discussions. Twenty-eight years later, in 1938, the association decided to meet the requirements of the National Socialist regime, to expel its Jewish members, and to align its program with the ideologies of the regime.
A working group of the still active VBKÖ, the Secretariat for Ghosts, Archive Politics and Gaps, which was founded in 2012, works with the archive of the association alongside events, documents and gaps. It attempts a long, fragmentary cut through the hi/herstory/ies of the VBKÖ in order to show contradictions and continuities.
Here, ghosts of national socialist ideologies encounter ghosts of colonial fantasies, and share the scene with old and new ghosts of feminist agency. The archival materials are haunted, exposed and associated. The ghosts appear in places, images and objects; for example in a group photo, a farewell letter or a travel journey.
HAUNTINGS IN THE ARCHIVE! attempts to face different ghosts, to walk with them, to remember them, or to contradict them. To learn to live with ghosts.
