Now on view at Whitechapel Gallery, Is it even worse in Europe? is a revisitation of the question posed in the Guerrilla Girls’s 1986 poster, which proclaimed “It’s Even Worse in Europe”. An inquiry into diversity at European art institutions, the exhibition Is it even worse in Europe? presents the results of questionnaires sent to 383 directors regarding their programming and collections. A new campaign features a large banner installed on the facade of the gallery building, as well as a display of posters and new research.
The exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery coincides with Complaints Department, a week-long major public project by the Guerrilla Girls at Tate Modern (October 4-9).
