Outrage in Order
Permanent Public Artwork
Commissioned by LIESELLE queer*feminist archive and library
RUB Universiry Bochum
Installed 2023
Outrage in Order is a site-specific installation that engages with the collection of the queer*feminist archive and library LIESELLE in Bochum.
2023 the archive celebrates its 45th anniversary and I've been commissioned to produce my first permanent public work to mark the occasion.
Outrage in Order deals with the grassroots network that the archive has built regarding feminist knowledge production. As one of the first feminist archives in Germany, many scholars turned to the then called Frauenarchiv for research and networking with their peers, also internationally. Many places that followed in the 1980s are now embedded in other collections or gender studies libraries, making it one of the few autonomous places that has survived to this day.
Outrage in Order consists of two large-scale collages that aesthetically refer to the DIY-Zine practice of feminist movements in the 70s and 80s, which is naturally present also in this archive. Through this I was able to thematise different foci and practices of the site.
Outrage in Order is installed in the multi-story staircase in the foyer in front of the archive.
