CoUNTess Spoiling Illusions since 2008 by Melinda Rackham & Elvis Richardson
CoUNTess is a uniquely Australian project which calls out gender inequity in the artworld with biting humour backed by decades of data. Boldly and insightfully written by Melinda Rackham and Elvis Richardson, CoUNTess: Spoiling Illusions Since 2008 offers insights and actions for change. Statistical analysis alongside cultural and feminist theory chart how the education of artists, the role of galleries and museums, art prizes, magazines, curators, collectors and philanthropists contribute to an artworld where women miss out. From original cheeky anonymous CoUNTess Blog posts to today's collaborative Countess.Report collective interventions, this is vital reading. Designed by Elliot Bryce Foulkes and Maria Smit.
