Talk:Gerard & Kelly

Semi-protected edit request on 4 June 2020
Can we update Gerard & Kelly's bio using their bio from https://www.citedesartsparis.net/en/gerard-kelly The one being used currently is incorrect.

Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly have collaborated as Gerard & Kelly since 2003. Their installations and performances use choreography, video, and sculpture to address questions of sexuality, memory, and the formation of queer consciousness. Recent exhibitions and performances of their work have been presented by Pioneer Works, Guggenheim Museum, New Museum, and The Kitchen (New York); Festival d’Automne, Palais de Tokyo, and Centre Pompidou (Paris); Chicago Architecture Biennial; and the Made in LA Biennial at the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles). Gerard & Kelly completed the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in 2010, and received their MFAs from the University of California, Los Angeles Department of Art in 2013.

Gerard & Kelly are the recipients of a 2014 Juried Award from the New York Dance and Performance Awards, also known as the Bessies, and grants from Art Matters, New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, and the Graham Foundation. Their projects have been supported by residencies at the CN D Centre national de la danse, Paris; New Museum, New York; and Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, among others. Their works are in the collections of the LACMA (Los Angeles), Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) and the Guggenheim Museum (New York). 2001:569:79EE:7C00:11D7:4B98:D7F4:116 (talk) 18:52, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry, it can't be added. Two reasons: first, that material is copyright whoever wrote it, and it has not been released with an appropriate license. Second, we don't copy-past artist biographies like the one above as they are typically written in a promotional tone. Feel free to make other requests with the exact (original) text and supporting sources. Keep in mind that we are a neutral encyclopedia and not a promotional vehicle.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:41, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Ok, can we remove the birth date information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:79EE:7C00:6913:3F45:FDD8:9F55 (talk) 06:00, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I see you are really interested in removing that, based on your edits. Can I ask why? We always include this information, and in this case it has been very widely published. The Guggenheim has it, the Hammer Museum has it, Artforum has published it, the Albany Museum has it, this private gallery has it and so on. We do sometimes remove such personal information, but not if it has been widely published by reputable sources, as it has in this case. Removing it would serve no purpose, basically.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:52, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
