„Von der Arbeit leben!
- Anerkennungsprozesse von Künstlerinnen“
(Living off your work – about the recognition of women artists)

Doris Berger and Moira Zoitl interviewed around 40 women artists and four arts professors for this arts and science project. Among the questions they posed were: Which criteria can be applied in the assessment of artistic success? What are common concepts of the live of a woman artist? Which artistic media are the most popular for women artists to get established in?

The results of the project were made part of the exhibition "Sexy Mythos," curated by Doris Berger, Moira Zoitl and others, which was shown during spring 2006 at the NGBK Berlin and later in Graz and Leipzig.
