Like the name 'Wo Man¡¦, this show appears to be of woman art, but the works are beyond expectations. Some are super-stereotyped feminist works which question stereotypes themselves. Some works made by woman artists bear no trace of the feminine. Some works which look very feminine were actually made by male artists. |

Above all, most artists put the gender issue aside and do what they believe - since femininity is fluid, whatever they make is feminist art. There are no radical feminists in the show. Most treat feminist theories as references of living instead of artistic intention. The 'Wo Man¡¦ participants mainly come from two shows: 'Girls¡¦ Thing¡¦ and 'Ma'am's Box¡¦. Both curated shows aim at a rethinking of women's roles in society. Most of them are emergent artists. Other participants are active artists from Hong Kong and Macau. We also have three male artists whose art are not bounded by their sex. The strong character and long history of the exhibition space, 'Old Ladies House¡¦, are inspiring. The ¡¥ Wo Man ¡¦ is one of the programs of Macau Fringe Festival 2001. ¡@
