Whitney Biennial postponed to 2022
The Whitney Biennial, known as an important event for the American art and originally scheduled for 2021, is postponed to April-Aug 2022.
The Whitney Biennial was introduced in 1932 by the Museum's founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Established to chart developments in art of the United States, it is the longest-running exhibition of its kind. To date, more than 3,600 influential and innovative artists have participated in a Whitney biennial or annual.
The 2022 Whitney Biennial is co-organized by David Breslin, DeMartini Family Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives, and Adrienne Edwards, Engell Speyer Family Curator and Curator of Performance, with Margaret Kross, senior curatorial assistant.
The Whitney Museum of American Art also announced its schedule of exhibitions opening through April 2022. Highlighting the work of living artists, the diverse program features many artists with whom the Whitney has forged lasting dialogues, including Dawoud Bey, David Hammons, Jasper Johns, and Julie Mehretu, and debuts new installations and performances featuring works by Andrea Carlson, Martine Gutierrez, Madeline Hollander, Kamoinge Workshop, Dave McKenzie, My Barbarian, Salman Toor, and others. The Museum’s collection remains at the heart of the program and this fall a new collection installation will include Ruth Asawa, Sari Dienes, Pati Hill, Kahlil Robert Irving, Virginia Overton, Julia Phillips, and Zarina.
