Rereading Mirtha Dermisache

Dual Book Launch at SAFI FAYE STAGE (HKW)

We invite you to celebrate the launch of two new publications on Argentinian conceptual artist Mirtha Dermisache (1940–2012). This event brings together editors and contributors of “con·stel·la·tions 02: Reading Mirtha Dermisache” (Textem Verlag) – a new anthology examining Dermisache’s work within the history of artists’ publications and asemic writing, following the first solo exhibition of her work in Germany, curated by Regine Ehleiter for the EXC “Temporal Communities” (Freie Universität Berlin) – and “The Month of the Flies” (Ugly Duckling Presse) – a poetic response by Sergio Chejfec in response to her “Libro N° 8: 1970,” translated by Rebekah Smith and Silvina López Medin.

Regine Ehleiter and Rebekah Smith will join Mela Dávila Freire in a conversation about Dermisache’s radical approach to writing, publication, and circulation, the publishing practices of women artists in 1970s Latin America, and the ways in which Dermisache’s work continues to challenge conventional notions of reading.
