Lynne Cooke has done extraordinary things as a woman - fighting for recognition in a male-dominated art world, and still
does.
- Co-curator of the Venice Biennial.
- Co-curator of the Carnegie
International.
- Artistic Director of the Biennale of Sydney.
Normally, all these things are dominated by men at this level of the art world - museums, critics, artists commanding the attention of the big galleries.
It’s exactly like that saying: I have to work twice as hard as men to get half as far.
Lynne understands that struggle, and has overcome it.
Women have always been marginalized in the art market, and still are.
Lynne Cooke won that battle, and is still fighting it - for you.
We rise on other people’s shoulders. As an artist, as a woman.
“A
rising tide lifts all boats” as the saying goes (unless, as I say - you are one of those people who are on the shore, in which case… it stinks!)
So where will you
position yourself?
…with the rising tide?
…or on the shore, watching things happen for other artists?
