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.

What would you ask the artists?
Get involved

Imagine you have 60 seconds with one of the artists participating in the 17th Biennale of Sydney. You can ask one question −what would it be?

We’re giving you the chance to pose a question to Biennale artists including Marcus Coates, John Bock and Dana Claxton. If your question is chosen, it will be recorded in an exclusive vodcast available for download on our website next May.

Watch the 60 second artist interviews from 2008 for inspiration.
