This exhibition is made up of two parts: \u201cCollection Highlights\u201d and a special display titled \u201cWomen\u2019s March.\u201d<\/p>\n
In \u201cCollection Highlights,\u201d comprising a group of works that have been specially selected from the museum\u2019s holdings, we present a diverse range of contemporary art expressions. And in \u201cWomen\u2019s March\u201d we focus on works by women artists. The year 2017 was one in which women\u2019s rights and campaigns highlighting discrimination against women gained attention, and in which the word \u201cfeminism\u201d came into the limelight. In the art world, interest in feminism grew mainly in the West from the late 1960s through the 1980s, resulting in women artists that had been overlooked in the past being rediscovered, and women becoming more involved in the public spheres of art history and museums. In Japan, the 1990s saw an increase in translations of introductions to, and studies of, Western feminist art. At the same time, exhibitions focusing on women artists were held and works by women artists were collected by museums. Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art has been collecting works by women artists since its opening, but still women artists make up less than ten percent of the total number of artists represented in the museum\u2019s holdings. Works by around two-thirds of this number of women artists are included in this special display.<\/p>\n
By looking contrastively at \u201cCollection Highlights,\u201d which surveys trends in contemporary art by presenting a selection of outstanding artworks, and this special display, visitors should be able to gain fresh insights into the relationship between the works of women artists and the art mainstream.<\/p>\n
