Could be totally made-up for all I know. All they have is a screen shot of an email sent from PS1’s press contact (easy to fake). No links to any official acknowledgment or announcement from PS1 (yet). permanent link to this post
Though PS1 positions itself as a venue for cutting edge work, it clearly has not overcome historical prejudices that privilege men over women. The system is still broken, and the efforts made by the PS1 staff to examine work from a wide range of artists were severely flawed.I know nothing about this other than what was found at this website: http://www.brainstormersreport.net/.
On Monday, March 7th, the press office at PS1 released the following numbers about the gender balance of the show:
100 men > 50 women
in other words
33% < acceptable
