Whitney Biennial: Ari Marcopoulos
April 4th, 2010 in Events No Comments
Artist: Ari Marcopoulos
Location: 2nd Floor, Whitney Biennial 2010
Detroit, 2009, by Ari Marcopoulos is a large video projection in a black room on the second floor. About seven and a half minutes long, the work documents adolescent participants in Detroit, Michigan’s “noise rock” scene improvising music on the floor of a bedroom. The approach to the subjects is straightforward and plain, allowing a focus on content rare in the rest of the Biennial.

Whitney Biennial: Richard Aldrich
April 1st, 2010 in Events No Comments
Artist: Richard Aldrich
Location: 4th Floor, Whitney Biennial 2010
Three works by Richard Aldrich constitute the most unexpected element in this year’s biennial. Aldrich, capable of producing elegant, seductive and largely abstract paintings, instead opts to throw a wrench in the common understanding of his practice. The artist’s contradictory impulses (vulnerability and apathy, traditionalism and contrarianism, for example), usually couched in the language of painting, are foregrounded. The result is either exciting or frustrating, especially for his admirers.

Whitney Biennial: R. H. Quaytman
March 30th, 2010 in Events No Comments
Artist: R. H. Quaytman
Location: 4th Floor, Whitney Biennial 2010
A careful selection of paintings by R. H. Quaytman fill a small room on the fourth floor that is dominated by a bright, trapezoid-shaped window. The outline of that window is a recurring figure in some of the paintings, part of a layering of references that acknowledge the exhibition venue, the artistic and historical context of the artist’s work, and the optical condition of all visual art but especially of painting.

Whitney Biennial: Robert Grosvenor
March 28th, 2010 in Events (1) Comment
Artist: Robert Grosvenor
Location: Second Floor, Whitney Biennial 2010
New York artist Robert Grosvenor’s installation is comprised of two sculptures that resemble outdoor structures, specifically a bridge and a fence. Hand made from materials that look mass-produced, the works together produce an eerie feeling that is surprising given their color and the even, bright lighting. In an exhibition full of esoteric work, Grosvenor’s is especially compelling.
