The 2006 Whitney Biennial

by James Panero


For anyone wondering what’s really behind the Whitney’s terrible twos, that is, the Biennial exhibitions that gets trotted out every two years, you’re going to have to read my forthcoming article in the April issue, where all will be explained. Oh, and on April 1, that sound you hear will be the Whitney shrivelling up into a insignificant little spec at the shame of having been so thoroughly done in.

Until then, be sure to read Tyler Green’s smart take on the ’WhiBi,’ and also catch up on what other reviewers are saying here.
