When Rebecca Catching, the director of OV Gallery, sought proposals for a group show with womanhood as its theme, many female Chinese artists resisted the suggestion that they might have something to say about their gender.
?They don?t want to be considered a woman artist and they also don?t want to be considered a feminist. There?s this idea that feminism is a Western import that doesn?t have anything to do with China,? Catching says.
Phoebe Man, one of the artists participating in the show, ?Shifting Definitions,? says, ?I take the position of a human being rather than a feminist when I work.?
