Whitney Biennial 2012

Sculpture, painting, installations, and photography —as well as dance, theater, music, and film— will fill the galleries of the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York, USA) in the latest edition of the Whitney Biennial. With a roster of artists at all points in their careers the Biennial provides a look at the current state of contemporary art in America.

This is the seventy-sixth in the ongoing series of Biennials and Annuals presented by the Whitney since 1932, two years after the Museum was founded.

The 2012 Biennial takes over most of the Whitney from March 1 through May 27, with portions of the exhibition and some programs continuing through June 10.

The Whitney’s fourth-floor Emily Fisher Landau Galleries will become a dynamic 6,000-square-foot performance space for music, dance, theater, and other events. This is the first Whitney Biennial in which nearly a full floor of the Museum has been given over to a changing season of performances, events, and residencies.

Date: until May 27.
Location: The Whitney Museum of American Art. 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street. New York, NY 10021.
Hours: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 6pm. Fridays from 1pm to 9pm.
