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.
