Stimulus of art

Emakumeek biluzik egon behar dute Metropolitan Museora sartzeko?
Until January 6, the exhibition of the activities that the guerrilla group Girls carried out during the period 1985-2013 will be open at the Alhóndiga de Bilbao. It collects mainly posters and slogans. Feminist guerrillas who often wear monkey masks show that aesthetics and politics can go together. This is a group of creative women who face each other in the hope that their aesthetic actions will be more effective. There are many ways of denouncing and the woman lies in Artea. If you're creative, you have plenty of imagination. The objective is to demonstrate that political actions and aesthetic actions are in agreement or can agree.
 
The Girls guerrilla movement was born in 1985 in the United States, at an exhibition organized by the Moma Museum of Modern Art in New York. Hundreds of women masked with monkeys at the door of the house clearly denounced the museum and the world: claiming the place of women. The international sample consisted of 163 creators, with only 13 women.
The guerrilla movement Girls shows an awkward truth, habitual in Art, and for many of those who are there, they are a nightmare of flesh and bone.
 
Art for art therefore, as these creators are limited to the realm of Art. This exhibition by the Alhóndiga shows us, following a chronological thread, the actions and complaints made in recent years, from 1985 to the present. The exhibition begins with a letter sent to collectors: “We have been informed that their collection, like most collections, does not contain enough artwork created by women. We know you're feeling really bad about it and you're going to fix the situation right away. Cordially: Guerrilla Girls.”
They also criticized the Guggenheim: “What news does the Guggenheim have for the most discerning art lovers? Long-term aspirations: racism, sexism, classism, age discrimination, Eurocentrism, nepotism, elitism, falocentrism. Congratulations on Guerrilla Girls. Put on the costume and join us!”
 
The figures for the biennials of the Whitney Museum in New York were as follows: In 1991, 4.4 per cent were black women, 5.9 per cent were black men, 29.4 per cent were white women, 60.3 per cent were white men. In 1995, 5.5 per cent of black women, 11.1 per cent of black men, 27.7 per cent of white women, 55.5 per cent of white men. These and other data are shown in the Guerrilla Girls exhibition.
 
When I went to see the show there were few spectators, but all those who were there were women. Women, and mostly creators, I would say, look at a reality that is too familiar to them.
