Exhibitions NYC | Images from the Whitney Biennal

I finally visited the biennial exhibition . As in the past 30 years media have merged in the last decade the boundary between art and life, private and public, has definitely been blurred, as witnessed by this year biennial. I found it generally uninspiring, re-presenting installation and performances already seen and often lacking the aesthetic qualities and depth of thought which should differentiate life from art.
With a few exception: the multichannel video installation of filmmaker Werner Hergoz stood in its lyrical beauty and profound meaning.

Exhibitions | NYC, Whitney Biennial


One of the most anticipated art appointment in NYC: the Whitney Biennial.

As usual, a great diversity in the content and media ---from photojournalism to conceptual photography and installations. Video is pervasive from single channel to multichannel installations. The monumental scale is ubiquitous, in any media and content. Quite interesting and timely the outdoor installation "shine" made of recycled materials.
