The Feminisation of Labor


Performance with artists talk and a video screening
SHARING WORKS / Inter-Actions / Julie Peckard / Neda Kovinic
Heidelberger Kunstverein
June 2023.


I was invited to present my work at the Heidelberger Kunstverein in the framework of sharing works with local dance community led by choreographer Edan Gorlicki, in the
context of the current exhibition. I proposed to the dancer Julie Peckard some kind of interpretation of my work Silly girlfriends, performance and a video from Belgrade 2022. On the other side I got from Julie the video excerpt from her work Proximate distance. In my reaction on her work I had on my mind her position as a pregnant mother dancer, so i worked out the narration to dance on, based on the excerpt from the book by Nina Power One dimensional woman, The Feminisation of Labor, referring to the questions of labor.

​

" The demand to be an adaptable worker, to be constantly networking, selling yourself, to become a kind of walking CV is omnipresent imperative.

You are like an Advert of yourself!

The rise of precarity means that labor itself has become essentially feminized:

the main figure of social precariousness is a woman;

Communication, flexibility, mobility and self-advansment become constituent elements of work of all persons..."
