Shana Moulton
Using video, sculptural installation and performance, American artist Shana Moulton has developed a distinctive psychic and aesthetic realm anchored around her alter ego, Cynthia.
I pay attention to the combination of performance and digital in her work.
Chulayarnnon Siriphol
Chulayarnnon Siriphol is interested in exploring new possibilities in creating moving images. He is thus working between the role of a filmmaker and an artist, using video as a medium. His works range from short film, experimental film, documentary to video installation which are in–between personal memory and social memory, documentary and fiction, reality and supernatural.
Aki Sasamoto
An installation and performance artist, Sasamoto works in various media, finding material inspiration in response to the conditions of her site or surroundings.
I pay attention to the combination of performance and digital installation in her work.
An American video artist. Condit's films are noted for their attempts to subvert traditional mythologies of female representation and psychologies of sexuality and violence.
I like her because she is good at creating absurd female fantasy world with voice and performance.
Cecelia Condit
Jennet Thomas makes films, performances and installations exploring connections between the everyday, fantasy and ideology. Her work can look like experimental film, children’s drama, or performance art – it’s a call for complexity that collides genres, experimenting with collective constructions of meaning.
Laurie Anderson
One of America’s most reknowned – and daring – creative pioneers. Known primarily for her multimedia presentations.
Her music works are full of metaphors and black humor, full of deep meaning and watchable.
Bernard Faucon
His photographic work expresses a love of youth and dreamy beauty, using saturated colour, natural settings, rooms, and often tableaux of mannequins.
I pay attention to the theater style of the picture and the narrative of the performance in his work. His website is cool.
Huyghe’s works often present themselves as complex systems characterized by a wide range of life forms, inanimate things and technologies. His constructed organisms combine not only biological, technological and fictional elements, they also produce an immersive, constantly changing environment, in which humans, animals and non-beings learn, evolve and grow.
Joan Jonas
Joan Jonas is a contemporary American artist known for her performance and video work which investigates time, space, and female subjectivity.
In high-definition video work, Ed Atkins explores the material and corporeal qualities of the digital moving image, often integrating collaged, drawn, and written elements into his presentations, or referencing works of literature.
The 2012 Turner Prize winner. THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979 2012. Comprising three parts, the video brings together distinct bodies of material into a dissonant assembly; photographs of church architecture, internet clips of pop performances and news footage of a notorious fire in a Woolworths furniture department in 1979.
I like the jumpiness of her narrative logic and the digital space in her video.

Miranda July
Miranda July is a filmmaker, artist, and writer.
I pay attention to her performance work. Her performances are full of daily performance and romanticize everyday behavior.
Mika Rottenberg
She is devoted to a rigorous practice that combines film, architectural installation, and sculpture to explore ideas of labor and the production of value in our contemporary hyper-capitalist world.
In my opinion her work is influenced by Situationist International, changing the system of power in space through performance.
Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley
Danielle works predominantly in animation, sound, performance and Video Games to communicate the experiences of being a Black Trans person. QUAD historically welcomes a wide range of voices to interact with our programme. During the year-long Fellowship period Danielle will engage with QUAD staff, audiences and programme to advise, critique and challenge what we do and how we do it.

The History of Feminism Art
Thinking about the inner expression logic of the early feminism art going out of the private space inspired me to analyze the issues concerned by feminism from the perspective of spatial power distribution.
I realized that feminism art and feminism have the same core of thinking about social structural issues, not just focusing on gender issues, but more discussion on the distribution of social power in spatial relations.
The History of Feminism Art
In the contemporary feminist system, the demands of theories about defending power have expanded, and their demands include seeking fairer social power for women and all sexual minorities.
This can also be understood as contemporary feminism's opposition to the centralization of power based on gender as the standard of hierarchical distinction, that is, decentralization of gender power.
The History of Feminism Art
Space is not just a physical concept, but a social product of the power hierarchy.
Situationism valued the decentralization of creation, and this is consistent with the essence of contemporary feminism against the centralization of gender power.
Feminism and spatial power relations-
Research on Feminist Geography
Feminist geography, as an emerging branch, focuses on the interaction between women and space, and more specifically the process and mechanism of women's role in urban space and local growth. In other words, this is a theoretical model that studies the relationship between women, space and power.
This part of the study of feminist geography, expressed in Lefebvre's theory, belongs to the subdivision of the first space and the third space.
