The anniversary publication, the Festschrift, has been elaborated for the centennial anniversary of the first association of women artists in Austria, the Vereinigung bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs (VBKÖ, Austrian Association of Women Artists), founded in Vienna in 1910. The Festschrift advocates for a discourse ‘For The Long Revolution’ of artistic women’s movement/s (in Austria and worldwide). It fulfills VBKÖ-demands for a stronger thematization of terms such as National Socialist regime, visual arts, women artists, institutions, organizations, co-complicity, memory and remembrance. In the chapter ‘What Ever We Are’, among others, it also takes up current identity debates.

On the occasion of the centennial anniversary, a program for the year was presented, which was composed of theoretical activities (January 1st 2010 – March 8th 2011) and a growing annual exhibition. Until April 15th 2011, works by 100PosterClub, Amanda Amaan/Rudolfine Lackner, Elke Auer/Esther Straganz, Linda Bilda, Veronika Dirnhofer, Drogerie, V. Nino Jaeger, Sands Murray-Wassink and Johanna Tinzl/Stefan Flunger will be on display. All of the activities refer to the historical origin of the VBKÖ in the androcentric totalities of institutions and to current links of resistance predominantly imprinted by feminism.
