“Vows (Goldman, Emma. “Marriage and Love.” New York: Mother Earth Publishing Association, 1910.)”, 2006 by Andrea Bowers. Vows is a two channel video installation using Emma Goldman’s essay “Marriage and Love”, a text which analyzes how the social institution of marriage is an oppressive institution of capitalism and oppositional to love. A single bride reading sections of the Goldman text is projected on each screen. In the installation the two women face each other and appear to be listening and responding, as though reciting marriage vows.

“Wittgenstein exercise”, 2001 by Michaela Meise.

Just a Christian girl living in Istanbul,
Leaving behind her entire life.
In the real time world no one sees her at all,
They all think she’s fakin’.

Takin’ the silver and leavin’ the rest,
Set to flee into the night.
She has danced into the danger zone,
Where minority’s never right.

She can picture the future,
When Armenians take the stage,
Like Agassi, Aznavour, and Cher.

She’s Armenian, Armenian on the run,
And she’s fleeing but the flight has just begun.
She’s Armenian, Armenian on the run,
And she’ll fight ‘til the Hayastantsi are one…

»She’s Armenian« adapted from »She’s a maniac« by Michael Sembello from the »Hymns of No Resistance (Part II)«, 2009 performance by Slavs and Tatars.
