From one Southern Feminist to another

September 30, 2009 By maryrachel Leave a Comment

old school Birmingham activistsMy wonderful friend Opal has started writing a column about women in Birmingham, Alabama.

Women in the Magic City, Volume 1 | pavomag.com

One of my favorite lines:  “And I can say now, after spending time transcribing the interviews and doing my own soul searching, that I learned a lesson much more beneficial than some hot-air intellectual stroking of feminist egos. What I learned was this: calling yourself a feminist means nothing to the world, and even less to Birmingham. Acting like a feminist – responding to a call for change by BEING the change – is the only measurable standard that matters.”

6+ is back on the webcam

September 11, 2009 By maryrachel 1 Comment

4plusIt is hard to believe that it has been a YEAR since we had a rowdy 6+ webcam!  Its not that we haven’t been working, (the Biennale in South Korea, preparing for the next project in the Dheisheh Refugee Camp), we just simply never got around to scheduling one.

After the second Dheisheh project was completed we needed a big, fat break.  2 years of non-stop projects, publications, performances, trips,  and just learning how to work alongside one another was exhausting.  It is no wonder collectives don’t have a high survival rate.  2 of our core members decided to rotate off the group and the other 4 of us took a healthy period of recovery.   I loved my recovery.  I pursued some other endeavors and re-taught myself how to strike a balance between my day job, teaching, art-making, administering the outcomes of my art-making, and enjoying my friends and family.

Spotlight on Women Artists at Incheon Biennale

Incheon is already known for its international airport, its seaport, Chinatown and the Pentaport rock festival, but the port city also wants to become a contemporary art and cultural hub of Korea.

For the entire month of August, Incheon is the site for a unique contemporary art biennale that shines the spotlight on women artists. Nearly 300 artists from 40 countries are participating in the second Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale (IWAB), which opens Saturday.

It is only timely and relevant to have a contemporary art biennale focusing on women artists. The international art world has always been criticized for being sexist and male-dominated, and Korea is no exception.

Yang Eun-hee, commissioner of the Main Exhibition at the biennale, said there is a big disparity between the number of male and female artists shown in art institutions and museums in Korea.

“In the Korean art world, the museums’ major collections have less than 20 percent, or even 10 percent, of artworks by female artists,” Yang told The Korea Times. “I also did some research at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Gwacheon. For their new acquisitions in 2007, only 11 percent were women artists. It’s very low.”

Even major contemporary art biennales around the world are traditionally seen as male-dominated events. This is one of the reasons that spurred the creation of the Incheon Women Artists Biennale. ……CONTINUE READING
