Book Launch
Please join us of an evening of short talks and longer conversations over a glass of wine to celebrate the publication of a new book on Ulrike Ottinger. We'll be hearing from the editor Angela McRobbie and some of the contributors, and, we are pleased to announce, from Ulrike Ottinger herself.
Ulrike Ottinger - Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination will be the first English language scholarly collection of articles on the leading Berlin based German artist and film-maker Ulrike Ottinger. Richly illustrated, the book comprises articles engaging with the full range of the works, from the early Berlin feature films of the 1970s and 1980s to the ethnographic documentaries also including the art exhibitions, photography shows, installations, and artist books. The book brings together feminist film theorists with art historians and cultural theorists, each with a distinctive and detailed perspective on the queer fabulist genres. Complementing the articles are a number of interviews with some of Ottinger's collaborators.
