Gap analysis

 * What is the title of the article in which you identified a gap. If no article exists at all, what should the title be?

Canan Şenol does not have a wikipedia page. Her page should be titled CANAN.

She is exhibited at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum alongside other well known feminist artists such as Judy Chicago-who has a wikipedia page. The SCFA has a wikipedia page. The first google search result on Canan Senol is her biographical information from the Sackler Center for Feminist Art website. The Sackler Center for Feminist Art wikipedia page includes its mission statement “to present feminism in an approachable and relevant manner, to educate new generations about the meaning of feminist art, and to raise awareness of feminism's cultural contributions.”. Canan’s biographical page on the SCFA website includes her own ‘feminist artist statement’ which uses the familiar Western American Feminist motto “the personal is political”. In other published interviews with Canan, she complicates the simplified identity of herself as a feminist artist and calls herself an activist and a political artist. She is also Kurdish born and raised in Turkey and she has exhibited in nearly a dozen countries. These additional [artistic] identities veer from the Sackler’s palatable mission statement and perhaps disqualifies her eligibility as one of the three hyperlinked examples of women artists included in the SCFA wikipedia page. On the SCFA’s own web page that includes Canan’s biography and some examples of her work, there is an outdated link to Canan’s own website. This gap, not only iterated by wikipedia, reinforces a western centered knowledge base of feminist art. Because her work is largely in conversation with Michel Foucault’s writings on biopower and the panopticon, she should be included by hyperlink in the “Literature and the Arts” section on wikipedia’s Panopticon page.

Canan Şenol was born in Istanbul 1970. Since 2010 she has legally and professionally gone by the name Canan. She is a painter, photographer, video and installation artist. She studied at Marmara University in Istanbul and graduated from the Department of Business Administration in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. She continued her studies at the Department in Faculty of Fine Arts and graduated 1998. In 2006 she studied at the School of Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Her work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions in Dubai, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain, US, and Brazil. She is interested in how the three pillars of society- State, Politics and Religion- dictate the personal spaces of family and individual life. Canan says “daily life has been my biggest influence on my work. From this point of view, the artwork becomes provocative, aggressive, erotic, risky and violent. Artwork, then, has the act of meeting the private with public space.” Her work is in conversation with Michel Foucault’s book on surveillance and punishment and expands his discursive theory based on the model of the Panopticon through her visual works that deal with social structures and individual repression. In 2003 while her work Once Upon A Time dealing with domestic sexual violence was on display in Germany, she was arrested by police and forced to censor her work. In 2005 she participated in the Istanbul Biennale and continues to live and work in Istanbul, Turkey. YOUR ANSWER HERE
