Análisis de la representatividad de las mujeres en el arte: producción y gestión. El caso de los museos y centros de arte en Alicante, 2011-2021

Abstract

A pesar de que en los últimos tiempos han tenido lugar avances considerables en la paridad y en la representación de las mujeres en las industrias culturales, todavía existen sectores de este ámbito, en concreto el sector artístico, donde persiste la subrepresentación de los bienes producidos por mujeres. El objetivo principal de este artículo es investigar la persistencia de este sesgo en los principales espacios de legitimación de los bienes artísticos como son los museos, instituciones y centros culturales que programan arte contemporáneo en los últimos diez años. Para ello, se ha procedido metodológicamente a realizar un análisis cuantitativo sobre la tasa de mujeres que exponen su obra artística, la tasa de mujeres comisarias y la de puestos de dirección y gestión, tomando como caso de estudio las principales instituciones artísticas de la ciudad de Alicante desde 2011 a 2021. Como resultado del presente trabajo, cabe mencionar, una ligera mejora hacia la presencia equilibrada de mujeres y hombres en las exposiciones de arte analizadas en el periodo estudiado. | Despite the fact that in recent times there have been considerable advances in equality and in the representation of women in the cultural industries, there are still sectors in this field, specifically the art sector, where persists the under-representation of goods produced by women. The main objective of this article is to investigate the persistence of this bias in the main spaces of legitimation of artistic assets such as museums, institutions and cultural centers that program contemporary art in the last ten years. To do this, a quantitative analysis has been carried out methodologically on the rate of women exhibiting their artistic work, the rate of women curators and that of leadership and management positions, taking as a case study the main artistic institutions of the city of Alicante from 2011 to 2021. As a result of this work, it is worth mentioning a slight improvement towards the proportionality of women and men in the art exhibitions held in the period studied.
