À propos de cet audio

This episode investigates why the Whitney Biennial consistently generates intense controversy, reframing audience reactions as revelations about cultural expectations rather than artistic failures. Griffin examines the 2017 Dana Schutz "Open Casket" controversy as a focal point for understanding debates about representation, authorship, and permission in contemporary art. The episode explores how traditional notions of artistic freedom and aesthetic autonomy have been challenged by questions about power, identity, and accountability. Rather than dismissing these tensions, the episode suggests that the Biennial's most important function is making visible the anxieties and assumptions audiences bring to contemporary art, positioning controversy as evidence of meaningful cultural engagement rather than institutional failure.
