'Curiouser and curiouser' - taking its cue and organisational frame from Alice in Wonderland, Basia Sliwinska explores the effects generated by works from Eastern European contemporary women artists. Inverting the pre-determined expectations of pornography (male arousal, female objectification) and current mass-media standards of beauty (glamour, spectacle, female desire), she opens up the mirror to show that it is precisely these artists' point of view of the Other side of the real that aims to shock, disturb and unsettle realities and conventions about looking/being/acting. - Katy Deepwell, editor of n.paradoxa and Professor of Contemporary Art, Theory and Criticism, Middlesex University
