A Feminist Reader: Hannah Wilke consists of a conversation between Brandt, Halvadaki and Krøyer Holm in which Halvadaki and Krøyer Holm asks Brandt a series of questions. The conversation is centred around Brandts personal archive on Hannah Wilke and the conversation reflects on artistic work, role models and historical origins, clarifying Brandts special kinship with Wilke. A Feminist Reader: Hannah Wilke includes: a letter to Peter Brandt, books, magazine, catalogues, an interview/conversation and the artworks “vagina”(chewing gum) and “Gestures” (video) by Hannah Wilke as well as “Brain” (clay) and “Comrades” (photos) by Peter Brandt.
