A selected retrospective of video works by Pauline Cummins and Sandra Vida at the CCI – Irish Cultural Centre Paris.
A two-person exhibition of performative video installations by Irish artist Pauline Cummins and her Canadian collaborator, Sandra Vida. Between One and Another gathers key works selected from over thirty years of art production, including significant statements on feminist issues evolving through that time period. Between One and Another illustrates international connections and intends to facilitate dialogue around the individual’s role within society and within the cycles of life.
Colloquium: Sweeping Changes
This colloquium seeks to address the influence of feminist thought on art, both in France and elsewhere, and poses the questions: “Did the video and performance artists of the 80s make sweeping changes?” Is it time now for an assessment of further changes to be made? The social, historical and regional contexts of the works on show at the CCI were discussed by writers, curators and the artists. The artists Pauline Cummins and Sandra Vida were joined by the following participants: Mireille Perron, French-Canadian artist and writer, Ann Cvetkovich, Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies, University of Texas, Agnès Aubague, French artist and Charlotte Gould, Senior lecturer in British art at the Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris.
