Artist page title: Yun Bai (Yunny Bunny)


 * Document the gap you found, describe how you identified it, and analyze its impact on knowledge.

The wiki gap that I found was that for the Chinese artist Yun Bai. She does not have her own page depicting her history and the work that she does. In addition, she is not included on the lit of Chinese artist and calligrapher. I came across her work while browsing through the Brooklyn museum web page and her work catch my attention because it has a subtlety to it that at first you would think that it is a floral art work but at a closer inspection there is a feminist quality to it. I discovered the Wikipedia gap for Yun Bai when I went to Wikipedia and look her up and other pages with the name came up for the politician and the panda with the same name but none for the artist. In addition, the search also pulled up the wiki page for Chinese artist, however Yun Bai was not on the list. Yun Bai has a teacher wiki page for her but there is no connection to her own page, and since it is a teacher page students of the general public will not know about her. Her lack of information on Wikipedia will result in lack of knowledge about her. We will not be able to know about her work and what she is trying to convey with the pieces that she makes. Her feminist movement as Yun Bai stated was to express the feminist elements along with the social commentary and the identity of female in a way that depicts it in the context of social paradox, mockery of the situation and the opposition that females goes through, mainly in the adult entertainment business [1]. Further more the lack of information on her diminishes the importance of female artist and focuses more attention to males’ artist. Also, because she is a Chinese artist the lack of information on her also diminish that of Chinese origins. There are other Chinese artist and female artist that have pages on Wikipedia such as Judy Chicago, Yoko Ono, and Shu Mei Shih. Yun Bai works bring attention the the adult entertainment business and how female in that business is perceived. Without knowledge on Yun Bai, the general public will not be able to know about the experience working in that field and the female will not get the motivation and strength that they will need if they decide to change and do something ore with their lives


 * Propose a paragraph of new or substantially edited content based on reliable sources. (If you are editing existing content, post the current version along with your edited version, and clearly mark which is which.)

To fill in the gap for Yun Bai, a Wikipedia page for her will need to be made. The page would include a short summary of her life and the works that she has done, follow by a more in-depth bibliography, exhibits that she has been in, art pieces that she made, people that she has an associate with with link to their pages if they have one, and other useful information. The first section will be her background and lifestyle. It will include such information as where she was born and information about how she grew up. For example, the section can look like:

“Yun Bai, also known as Yunny Bunny, was born in Beijing, China 1979. At the age of 5 se and her parents moved to the United States near the South. She was raised in a traditional Chinese setting with influences from Southern American culture. Yun Bai pursue art in a more professional setting when she reached her adolescent years and has been at it for at least thirteen years now. Yun Bai graduated in 2001 from Agnes Scott College, Atlanta, Georgia. Yun Bai currently reside in Los Angeles [1,2,3].”

The next section will be about her style of art, what to expect when looking at her art, where inspiration comes from, and a discussion of some of her work. The discussion will revolve around the theme of the work and why Yun Bai had decided to use what she did. For example, the section can look like:

“Yun Bai draw inspiration from the world when creating her art pieces and from her time in the adult entertainment business. She uses tradition mediums such as oil paints, watercolors, and other similar mediums. She also includes more contemporary mediums such as ping pong balls and porn magazines. Yun Bai’s works focus on issue of identity. She does this through the use of sarcastic mockery with a feminist twist. Her famous piece of work would be part of her Porn Flower collection. These are floral art pieces that are comprise of clipping from porn magazine and sometimes other elements such as ping pong balls. At first the images are innocent looking and simply looks like flower, but at a closer inspection female body part starts to take present. The painting in the collection is used to portrayed strength, hope, courage, and healing. Yun Bai’s works expresses hope for the future [3,4].”

The final section will be a compilation of her works and exhibitions that he has been a part of. It will be divided into two. Starting with the list of her art work that she has done by herself. Next will be a compilation of works that she has done with other people and finally, the section will have concluded with exhibits that she has been a part of such as the “Bridge Art Fair” and “NOVA Art Fair.” Other section can be added as Yun Bai create more art work in the future or if new information about her is found because there was not that much when I was searching about her but will most likely appear in the future. In addition, when the page is finish there will be a hyperlink to Chinese artist page as well as the teacher wiki page for Yun Bai and vise versa. This is to ensure that those who want to know more about her can get to the information that they need and see what she has done. It will also include like to her personal web site so that the audience and see more art work as well as know about the exhibits that she ahs been in and future one that she will be in if they want to see the art pieces in person.
