GWANGJU BIENNAL 2018 Assignment
How does the exhibition deal with gender?
I don't think the exhibition emphasizes gender distinction. At least when I go to watch the work, I won't notice that it is made by male artists or female artists. But as the teacher said last time, if the number of male artists exceeds too much of female artists, I think it will be the hidden problem behind this exhibition.
How many female/male executives?
There are 11 exhibitions curators.. And six of them are women, 5 are men.
Directors, Leaders, Administration MONEY
I didn't find much information about it,but the exhibition space of the first Gwangju Biennial Exhibition (the area of the exhibition venue is 710,000 Ping) totaled $25 million. Among them, the government invested 1/4, the government of gwangju 1/2, and the remaining half were funded by private enterprises.
How many female/male curators?
6 women curators and 5 men curators.
Six female curators are Clara Kim, Christine Y.Kim, Rita Gonzalez, Gridthiya Gaweewong, Shim Chung Yeon, Yeewan Koon, and five male curators are David Teh, Man Seok Kim, Sung-woo Kim, Chong-Ok Paek and B.G. Muhn.
How many female/male artists are represented?
Maybe 38 women artists and 60 men artists.
Is there a difference between how male/female artist work, display their projects etc?
In my mind, I would think that the works of female artists should be more delicate, more sensitive to art and beauty, less ambitious and utilitarian than men, and their works are often tender and calm.But in this exhibition, I can not see the obvious difference, because I may notice the works first, and then the artist himself, and I don't have time to see so many works of artists.
