WOMEN'S WORK?

Apparently the Biennale about to open at The Whitney (NYC) is being deemed the Women's Biennale as half of the artists being shown are female. Read more from The New York Times (excerpt below)

Nonetheless, more than half the artists represented are women, a record for the Whitney’s marquee exhibition. Bonami and Gary Carrion-Murayari, his associate curator, say the number was happenstance. They intend their survey, titled simply “2010,” only to reflect the tenor of American art right now, which they see as “somber and intimate.” Not feminine.

JENNY HOLZER @ THE WHITNEY

Jenny Holzer is having a show @ The Whitney in NYC. The site resources look really fantastic, with images, video and even the exhibition brochure (they use Scribd too).

Have a look and let's see how we can develop this as a resource!

PROTECT PROTECT

Jenny Holzer's pioneering approach to language as a carrier of content and her use of nontraditional media and public settings as vehicles for that content make her one of the most interesting and significant artists working today. Alternating between fact and fiction, the public and the private, the universal and the particular, Holzer's work offers an incisive social and psychological portrait of our times. PROTECT PROTECT centers on Holzer's work since the 1990s and is the artist's most comprehensive exhibition in the United States in more than fifteen years.
