The Facts
On November 12, 2026, Lisson Gallery announced that its represented artists Leiko Ikemura and Marina Abramović are featured in 'Feminist Futures Forever', a major group exhibition at Belvedere 21 in Vienna. The show brings together 238 international artists across generations, taking the landmark 1985 exhibition 'Kunst mit Eigen-Sinn' as its starting point. It is organized into nine thematic sections examining gender, identity, labor, public space, and the body. Ikemura presents the triptych installation 'O.T. / Untitled' (1984), while Abramović is among the participating artists. The exhibition is curated by Christiane Erharter and Stefanie Reisinger and runs until March 8, 2027.
The Signal
The exhibition positions Ikemura and Abramović within a broad historical and contemporary dialogue on feminist art, revisiting a pivotal 1985 show that challenged institutional and societal norms. For collectors, the inclusion underscores the sustained institutional relevance of both artists, particularly Ikemura's early work and Abramović's enduring influence. The survey reflects a growing trend of museums reexamining feminist art histories through expansive, cross-generational frameworks, signaling continued market and curatorial interest in these narratives.
