Mare Tralla [aka Disgusting Girl] is an Estonian-born media artist and organiser who currently lives and works in London. She is a PhD student at the University of Westminster researching cyberfeminist art practices in Eastern-Europe in the1990s and how participation in international networks (like Faces) has influenced those local practices. In Estonia she is notoriously known as a feminist artist. She co-organised, with Eha Komissarov and Reet Varblane, the feminist art project Est.Fem in Tallinn, in 1995, and she became widely known thereafter in Estonian mainstream media as 'revolting female'. Her often self-ironic art questions the place and role of women in society and how women from Eastern Europe are perceived or seen as in the Western world. Many of her recent projects have dealt with the issues of privacy and surveillance. She works with video, installation, photography, performance and has recently rediscovered painting. In 2000-2004 Tralla was the head of E-media Centre at the Estonian Academy of Arts; and the 2004 programme chair of ISEA2004 in Tallinn. In 1998 she co-curated (with Pam Skelton) a touring Estonian-British exhibition Private Views and later co-edited with Angela Dimitrikaki and Pam Skelton a book "Private Views - Spaces and Gender in Contemporary Art from Britain and Estonia". http://www.tralla.net
