In the 1970s and early '80s, Hannah Wilke produced performance tapes that examine sex and sexuality, feminism and femininity, the body and its representation. Wilke explores gesture in relation to gender and power, using her own image to confront the erotic representation of the female body in art history and popular culture.

Gestures is a series of performance-based works in which Wilke faces the camera in extreme close-up and performs repetitive or durational physical actions. At times she kneads and pulls her skin as if it were sculptural material. Often her gestures — rubbing her hands over her face, smi ...

In this haunting performance, Wilke conflates the private and the public as autobiographical theater. The audience "eavesdrops" on a series of phone messages intended for Wilke, recorded from her answering machine. This voice-over litany of messages becomes an intimate if one-sided narrative of Wilk ...

This marathon performance soiree was organized by multimedia artist Jean Dupuy at the Kitchen in 1974. Dupuy invited over 30 downtown artists, musicians, and filmmakers to each give a two-minute performance. The audience was served a home-made dinner of soup, apple tarts and wine, followed by the performance "menu." Performers included Charles Atlas, Joan Jonas, Hannah Wilke, Gordon Matta-Clark, Richard Serra, Philip Glass and Yvonne Rainer. This rare time capsule captures the SoHo art and music scene of the early 1970s.
