DOZENS of artists ranging from counterculture figures to the creators of modern day fairy tales will perform at the University of Dundee this weekend.

The university’s Cooper Gallery will host a 12 Hour Action Group tomorroww from 11am-11pm. It has been organised as part of the two-chapter Of Other Spaces: Where Does Gesture Become Event? exhibition.

The exhibition and its wider programme of events take feminism as a starting point to explore self-organisation and alternative politics in culture, society and everyday life.

The 12 Hour Action Group will feature keynote talks, collective readings,, actions, performances,, screenings and a roundd table discussion.

Highly regarded artists,, writers, critics, curators and academics will take part in the event.

Award-winning writer Kirsty Logan, whose books explore fairy tales and folklore, will read from her work, while other participants include Linder, the celebrated radical feminist whose involvement in the punk and post-punk scenes led to her creating cover artwork for bands like the Buzzcocks and Magazine.

Cooper Gallery curator Sophia Hao said: “The event is part of the wider exhibition programme that opens up how the inspiring revolutionary practice of feminist thinking on power is enacted through the body, i nstitutional operations and systems of representation.”
