Chris Regn
Bildwechsel

Perfomer, curator, archivist - Chris Regn has assumed a number of roles. Born in Nuremberg, she studied at the Hamburg Academy of Art, and initiated Bildwechsel, an organization devoted to archiving, disseminating and presenting feminist and female artists. Until 2021, Chris Regn was the artistic director of Basle-based Kaskadenkondensator, an independent space devoted to art and performance. She is also a member of the performance group Evi, Nic und C, which evolved from Bildwechsel.

Bildwechsel was established in 1979 as an umbrella organisation for women and their representation in media, culture and art. Based in Hamburg, it acts as a platform and as an infrastructure that holds a video archive with roughly 7000 titles, a library, and different archives and collections. Its aim is to present a panoramic view of the work of women artists, especially of those working over the last 30 years. Related Bildwechsel projects have also been established in Basel, Berlin, Warsaw and Glasgow. Chris Regn will introduce this art project that produces interviews and video documentation and maintains archive collections on women and media art.
