Whitney Biennial 2019 at Whitney Museum of American Art, May 17 – September 22, 2019

“The Whitney Biennial is an unmissable event for anyone interested in finding out what’s happening in art today. Curators Jane Panetta and Rujeko Hockley have been visiting artists over the past year in search of the most important and relevant work. Featuring seventy-five artists and collectives working in painting, sculpture, installation, film and video, photography, performance, and sound, the 2019 Biennial takes the pulse of the contemporary artistic moment. Introduced by the Museum’s founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1932, the Biennial is the longest-running exhibition in the country to chart the latest developments in American art.” — Whitney Museum of American Art

“It’s a snapshot of contemporary art making in the United States today.”—Jane Panetta, 2019 Biennial co-curator
