Presentation abstract

Why in Fine Arts Degree the 80% of the students are women and, then, in the emergent art market of Spain the 80% are men? Have them disappeared? Or these 80% of men have appeared out of nowhere? Our project comes from the necessity of researching these women that we don’t know and present their work. We know that this is not the solution to the problem. We pretend not only complaining but highlighting the problem. How do we address it? Faced with a problem that could seem dramatic, very serious, we present a solution with a pleasant and close format: A Guess Who game. This Guess Who game is not a normal one where only the appearance matters, it will also have additional cards with the career information of each artist. We focus our research in the Spanish context because our starting shaking point was the art fair of ARCO Madrid where there are only 25% of women exhibiting. These additional cards will pick up the previous training, if they live from their artistic production, their actual profession and which kind of art they make. This additional information will change completely the way of playing the traditional Guess Who, which was based only on the physical appearance of the people. This time, the players will need to ask questions based on the career of the artist to know which one is.
