New Museum's Unmonumental and Life on Mars Shows Overlap in Artists
The Carnegie International is currently hosting an exhibition called "Life on Mars," which includes many artists featured in the New Museum's "Unmonumental." Among the 39 artists in "Life on Mars," around six of them are also in "Unmonumental." This overlap prompts some curiosity, especially since "Life on Mars" claims to represent a global perspective, yet most artists, except for seven, are from the US or Europe, and only twelve of them are women. It's worth mentioning that Eungie Joo, who is affiliated with the New Museum, served on the advisory committee for the Carnegie International back in 2008.
