The issue of gender representation is rarely engaged directly by galleries/institutions. In many cases it's looked at retrospectively or as someone else's issue - next time. <br />Thank you CountessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264013425215027801.post-2310820680370790232013-02-19T00:36:17.973-08:002013-02-19T00:36:17.973-08:00Hello there,

I feel like the blinkers have come off, and now I understand what is really going on. <br /><br />As (one of the lucky few, I might add) female artists showing around the usual public/ commercial traps, I can tell you, the stats you uncover bear out in my experience of the art world. <br /><br />Public institutions have a responsibility to collect more female artwork - and from this, things can change, collectors be influenced, commercial galleries sign more female artists, and increase the sales of those they already have. Public institutions have a duty to lead, as no other sector in the artworld will do it - and they should be accountable for this. <br /><br />Anyway, thank you for all this great work you are doing. Amazing! <br /><br />Anastasia KloseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264013425215027801.post-26417872639460723982013-02-01T16:44:51.930-08:002013-02-01T16:44:51.930-08:00In my morning's trawl of the internet I've...In my morning's trawl of the internet I've read both this (thanks CoUNTess) and a quote on how we inaccurately perceive the who speaks more in public space, lectures and classes. It's well documented that when a room is equally gender mixed if women in the room speak an equal number of times as men it is perceived that they speak more. I seem to remember (hopefully accurately) that it isn't perceived that men and women speak equally until the realty is that men contribute 70% of the conversation and women only 30%.<br /><br />I'm sure there must be a link here, that somehow although women are represented less, and factualy we know and can count and draw graphs and make it known that they are represented less, maybe somehow it seems as though they are represented equally. <br /><br />The quote is here: http://pewpewlaserfire.tumblr.com/post/42047414892/teachers-are-often-unaware-of-the-gender<br /><br />I'll try to think on this and hash out a proper response sometime soon.<br /> Louise Mayhewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963689540593315952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264013425215027801.post-3748125633983921842013-01-15T17:14:09.200-08:002013-01-15T17:14:09.200-08:00And now I've incorporated some of your stats i...And now I've incorporated some of your stats into my own blog about women artists in NZ. http://wellywoodwoman.blogspot.co.nz/2013/01/they-might-have-completely-forgotten-us.html Thanks a million!wellywood womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224383638978594862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264013425215027801.post-2296453368727795002013-01-03T21:49:04.994-08:002013-01-03T21:49:04.994-08:00these stats are both discouraging and disappointin...these stats are both discouraging and disappointing... lucky there is no need for feminism these days...
