In class, I remember Prof Cartwright mentioned the
contemporary artist Nikki. S. Lee as we talked about Lynn Hershman Leeson. I
took great interest in her work and decided to look more into her work on the
Internet. From what I remember, she is a successor of Leeson’s work and is a
famous contemporary artist. However, I had trouble finding more information on
her. Since she is supposedly a renowned contemporary female artist and has had
solo exhibitions in major institutions and museums such as LACMA and the
Guggenheim, I was surprised that there is very limited information about her on
her Wikipedia page. The only two sections that existed on her page were
“education” and “career.” Therefore, I decided to make some changes. First, I
changed the title “career” to “work” because I thought that was more
professional in a sense. I looked at the Wikipedia pages of Cindy Sherman, Lynn
Hershman Leeson, and Adrian Piper, and they had a section under “work.” In
addition, I added more descriptions to her works.
Similar to the little amount of information of Nikki S. Lee
on Wikipedia, there was limited information of her on the Internet in general.
Therefore, adding more detailed information to the page was a challenge.
However, I hope the edits I made to the page will help the readers understand
this contemporary artist in a more in depth sence.
You did a nice job providing sources that have "stuck" on the entry. I think picking one of the WikiProject Women Artists pages, where they are actively soliciting help, was also a good strategy. If you are in Los Angeles and want to see more work by Adrian Piper, I would recommend the "Take It or Leave It" show up now at the Hammer Museum.
ReplyDeleteI recently revisited my page and was rewarding to see my edit still on it.
