This article addresses the coherencies linking subjectivity, power, and gender in the Austrian performance art of the late 1960s. It focuses especially on cross-dressing, that is, on performative gender-switching. Based on the confrontation of two exemplary works by Günter Brus and valie export , the following questions are crucial to this study: What kind of subjectivity is negotiated through this identification with “the other”? Furthermore, what type of role-playing challenges traditional sexual power relations and, finally, what differences result from the opposing approaches of the two artists
