Afterall Journal Issue 34 Foreword Examines Feminist Politics, Minimalism, and Contemporary Resistance Practices
Nuria Enguita Mayo's foreword to Afterall Journal Issue 34, published on 20 May 2013, reflects on the legacy of minimal art and its shift away from conventional museum settings. It revisits Yvonne Rainer's 'No Manifesto' from 1965, drawing connections to feminist ideologies that challenge patriarchal systems. Since the 1960s, art has evolved into a platform for exploring new identities through dematerialized practices and feminist narratives. Patrick D. Flores links this artistic evolution to colonial resistance. Artists such as Lili Dujourie, Lucy McKenzie, Haegue Yang, and Mary Ellen Carroll are noted for their oppositional practices across diverse mediums. Additionally, Sabine Breitwieser, during a panel on 21 April 2012, probes how live art can preserve its critical essence within museums. The foreword underscores art's capacity for critique and transgression.
