Gabriele Stötzer’s collaborative performances stand out from the practices of the late GDR’s artistic underground. They string together elaborations of the collective or the political, the (female*) body, and of art, in ways that challenged configurations of art and the political in 1980s GDR. Today they challenge understandings of “East German non-conforming art”, that stress the individualism and autonomy of such works.
