Towner case study investigate histories

项目摘要

The project will use Towner as a case study to investigate histories of gender representation in regional UK galleries. Primarily collections-based, a key objective of the project will be to conduct a critical analysis of Towner's repositories, examining artworks acquired from the moment of the gallery's inception in 1923 through to the present day. The lack of female representation in public galleries is widespread. The National Gallery recently upped the number of works by women artists in its collections to twenty, which still represents one percent of its total holdings. There is a growing consensus that regional galleries likewise need to assess and redress gender imbalance in their collections: This project will focus on histories of gender representation at the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne. While Towner's history is dominated by the names of male collectors and artists, 18% of the artists in the collection are women, and female collectors, including an important early gallerist, have made major donations of works during the twentieth century. As Towner approaches its centenary in 2023, a deeper awareness and understanding of the role women have played in the gallery's history will help to support its commitment to improved gender representation in future acquisitions, exhibitions and public engagement with the collection.

该项目将以Towner作为案例研究，调查英国地区画廊中性别代表性的历史。主要以收藏为基础，该项目的一个关键目标将是对Towner的仓库进行批判性分析，检查从1923年画廊成立到现在获得的艺术品。公众旁听席上缺乏女性代表的现象很普遍。美国国家美术馆（National Gallery）最近将其收藏的女性艺术家作品数量增加到了20件，但仍只占其总收藏的1%。越来越多的人认为，地区性画廊同样需要评估和纠正其藏品中的性别失衡：这个项目将重点关注伊斯特本的Towner Art Gallery的性别代表性历史。虽然Towner的历史以男性收藏家和艺术家的名字为主，但该收藏中18%的艺术家是女性，女性收藏家，包括一位重要的早期画廊主，在20世纪捐赠了大量作品。随着2023年Towner画廊百年纪念的临近，对女性在画廊历史上所扮演角色的更深入的认识和理解，将有助于支持其在未来的收购、展览和公众参与中改善性别代表性的承诺。
