Orshi Drozdik (born 1946 in Hungary) is a feminist artist based in New York City. Her work consists of series of installations exploring connected themes, sometimes over many years and undermines the traditional erotic representation of woman. It often exposes the hidden social issues in the system, countering a wide range of representation of "facts and scientific truth” in the discourse of art-, political-, medical- and science history and exposing contemporary and historic contradictions and discrepancies. Starting in the 1970s with body art, working with her own body, in the form of performance art extended her critical interest to normative representation of female body as a nude. ==Biography== Drozdik grew up in Abda and Győr in Hungary. Her mother with her family were living in Pozsony (today Bratislava) in 1945, and were stripped of their citizenship and property by the Beneš decrees without compensation and forced to move. Her father as a middle class intellectual was labeled by the goveremental party as a class enemy and his property was confiscated. In 1956, after her father's death, she decided to be an artist. With the support of her mother, who by herself raised her with a sister and brother, she started to learn formal drawing and painting in an evening drawing study group.〔artslant.com, (),''Statement''〕 Drozdik studied art at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts from 1974–77.〔Michèle Kieffer (''Orshi Drozdik: Deconstructing Gender and the Self'' ), theCulturetrip.com. Retrieved 23 August 2014.〕 In the mid seventies she found her own voice by turning against educational and political dictatorial power. From 1975 she exhibited in Budapest and worked in association with the "Rozsa" (Roses), a young artists' post-conceptual group (1976–78). In 1978 she left Hungary, and in 1980 moved to New York,〔 working in association with artist group Colab in the early 1980s. In the 1980s, she showed her work extensively in New York as well as internationally, in both galleries and museums. She lived with Patrick McGrath, the writer, in Vancouver, Toronto and New York from 1979 to 1991.〔Herbert Mitgang, (Tales From an Offbeat Childhood'' ), June 11, 1988〕 Drozdik has been selected to take part in exhibitions of work by Hungarian artists.
