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.

With a few exception: the multichannel video installation of filmmaker Werner Hergoz stood in its lyrical beauty and profound meaning.
