mind the *gap!

The project mind the *gap! vew visibility for women artists has been working with cultural institutions since 2024 to introduce previously underrepresented women artists of the modern era to the public with presentations of their work.

The project idea came about during the fair share! campaign on International Women's Day 8.3.2022 in front of the Neue Nationalgalerie. The performance focused on 110 female artists who were artistically active in the period from 1900 to 1945 and were to be represented in the Neue Nationalgalerie's permanent collection. An intensive examination of the artists' biographies led to the idea to make the resulting knowledge more widely known as part of a fair share! series of events at various exhibition venues. To this end, ambassadors write short monographs that are presented to an interested audience and compiled in a steadily growing series of publications.

The Bröhan Museum in Berlin kicked off the project in January 2024. fair share! presented three avant-garde artists as part of a special event: the ceramicist Margarete Heymann-Loebenstein Marks, the sculptor Tina Haim-Wentscher and the photographer Suse Byk. A film documentary was produced by Anna-Maria Weber, AugenZeugeKunst.


The mind the *gap! project series will be continued in November 2024 at the Neue Nationalgalerie. fair share! ambassadors will introduce six outstanding women artists of the modernist period with their lives, work, and artistic achievements.

Further locations will follow.
