À propos de cet audio

The opening episode positions the Whitney Biennial as a cultural instrument designed to register the emotional, political, and artistic conditions of contemporary America. Griffin Rowe traces the exhibition's evolution from its 1932 origins as a straightforward survey through its transformation into a complex reflection of cultural anxiety and institutional power. The episode explores how the Biennial shifted from measuring aesthetic progress to capturing unresolved tensions, examining key moments like the controversial 1993 edition that centered identity politics. Rather than evaluating whether art is "good" or "bad," the episode reveals how the Biennial functions as a seismograph recording the tremors running through American culture, using discomfort and ambiguity as deliberate curatorial strategies.
