Some say the battle for gender equality is over, at least in principle. Women won. So why does this exhibition set its sights solely on female artists? Is the artist’s gender still relevant in the 21st century? Up to the early 20th century, female artists, like women in general, found their professional development limited by the societal constraints that forcibly reduced their role to mother and wife. […] I hope you like the contemporary art exhibited here and you will join me in my belief that societies should make an effort to bring the artistic talents of women to the centre of our attention where they belong. — Marliese Heimann-Ammon
