本研究以臺灣當代女性藝術為題，期盼分析臺灣當代女性藝術於性別覺醒過程中，如何檢視藝 術體制中的性別問題，進而說明臺灣女性藝術發展的處境。
研究過程，援引女性主義、女性主義藝術批評等理論文獻，並藉由訪談臺灣當代重要的女性藝 術創作者、評論者與學者，透過他/她們的意見，解析臺灣當代女性藝術發展所面臨的困境。同時， 輔以文獻分析法進行分析。研究發現，臺灣藝壇中呈現諸多性別問題，包括：教育體制中對女性藝 術創作的漠視、藝術史與理論相關研究忽略女性藝術的討論、展演空間存在性別結構偏差，以及女 性在父權意識型態霸權下角色期待的矛盾，這些皆致使女性藝術創作者被視為缺席者，也成了本研 究最關注的核心。期盼透過本研究的討論能為臺灣當代女性藝術發展邁向更美好、受重視的前景盡一份心力。

In Taiwan, the contemporary women’s art began to show up at 1980’s，and their priority was to examine the gender issues within the artistic structure. This research focuses on the gender issues in this structure, and tries to depict the development of the women’s art through the artists’ process of the gender awakening.
To do so, the researcher goes firstly by reviewing the literature of feminism and the critics of women’s art, and then uses the documentary analysis and in-depth interview as the method. The findings show that there are some noticeable topics in Taiwan’s artistic field for women, like being ignorant of the creations in educational systems, art history and theoretical researches. And yet，there is structural deviation in performing spaces, and the contradictory to the role expectations under the patriarchal hegemony.
What mentioned here had made women, especially women’s art absent, and this is also the core concept of this research.
