- Abstract
The 81st edition of the Whitney Biennial, the most significant and longest-running survey of contemporary American art, explores the themes of truth, identity, and artifice. Curators Chrissie Iles and Meg Onli have assembled a diverse group of 71 artists and collectives whose work grapples with the paradox of art transcending reality while remaining inherently artifice. The Biennial offers an interactive experience, allowing visitors to touch and interact with the art, emphasizing that art is meant to be experienced in and through the flesh. The exhibition includes video art, sculptures, and installations that address important social and cultural issues, such as LGBTQ rights, the legacy of black thinkers, and the importance of indigenous technology and beliefs.
