Whitney Biennial

Recommended Posts

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).
