The Subjects of the symposium
The main theme for the event is "gender equality":
Where do women artists stand in Norway 100 years after receiving the right to vote? To what extent are women underrepresented compared to men in public and private collections, art history and the commercial market? Why don't female philanthropists collect art made by women to the same degree as art made by men? What issues, other than aesthetics, may be of significance when collecting art? What kind of strategies must we use to get equal rights and equal space?
