Nordic Women Painters
Bergen kunstmuseum samarbeidet i 2002 og 2003 om en utstilling med nordiske kvinnelige malere.
Prosjekt: Nordic Women Painters
Funding was received to support the exhibition "Nordic women painters 1880-1900" which will be shown in Denmark, Norway and Germany. It will raise issues such as how the process of modernisation and social changes has left their mark on the women artists' vision. They will investigate the paintings in relation to the history of their own time, as well as their relationship to contemporary concepts of femininity and art. A catalogue will accompany the expo and a website set up.
The exhibition will offer an opportunity to question traditional ideas of modernity by presenting artworks that scope modern life from the women artists' perspective. It will give the European audience a possibility to become familiar with these works by women artists.
