Visual Art Lessness and Neo-Appropriation

These curators seem to be on a mission to be as pretentious and irrelevant as possible. And it’s only day one of Time magazine critic Richard Lacayo’s Q&A with Whitney Biennial curators Shamim Momin and Henriette Huldisch.
But given the biennial’s new performance wing at the Armory and a little trickle of early positive testimony (the major reviews aren’t in yet), maybe the legendarily unpopular show will succeed despite its curators? We can always hope.
In the wait for the reviews, I want to recommend this good read on two of my favorite recent discoveries, video-performance artists Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn of LA. Don’t miss the excerpt of their video Can’t Swallow It, Can’t Spit It Out.
