Wilfrid Posted April 20, 2024 Share Posted April 20, 2024 I attend with trepidation, expecting to see plenty of art I won’t like. I thought this edition was okay (despite the fantastic pomposity of the text that introduces you to it). I especially commend Harmony Hammond (I have seen these works before, but where?) who continues to remind me of Tapies - bold symbols and wonderful textures. There are many movies in side rooms; I was gripped by Diane Severin Nguyen’s “In her Time” (young actress painfully playing a role in a movie (within the movie) about the Nanjing massacre). And more spectacle than fine art, a big reproduction of the White House (in black) falling over on one of the Whitney’s balconies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted August 5, 2024 Share Posted August 5, 2024 I finally made it. I really disliked the last edition so I had very low expectations going in and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I adored ektor garcia's crochet work with wire and Suzanne Jackson's use of color and the way her pieces hung reminded me a bit of Sam Gilliam's canvases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
