Such is the wonderful world we live in. Fecal Face is a fabulous Bay area based Web site that covers and supports emerging arts and artists. In advance of my solo show that opens this...

It's a Man's (Art) World

Untitled (Woman Singing) 1990 © Carrie Mae WeemsThis morning Edward Winkleman points to a very telling piece of research conducted by ChelseaArtGalleries.com. They surveyed language from gallery press releases over the past two years and the results are not surprising. Key takeaway for me, in 2007 the word "his" appeared more often in press releases than the word "ar...
