"Yes, it's here -- to be celebrated and to be scrutinized -- the Whitney Biennial 2008. Tuesday night I went to the preview party, which is a great occasion to congratulate, to see, to be seen, to drink and to complain a bit. But no matter what one thinks of the show, the energy is so infectiously effervescent that it's hard to be a sourpuss on this night. I give props to anyone who manages to soak in the art because most people (this one included) are too busy boozing it up and chatting up whomever's around. Here are some snaps from the affair by our 'Artist Residency' photographer Aubrey Mayer and myself. So the art season in New York has officially kicked off." (Papermag)
"Today marks the opening of the 74th Whitney Biennial, and it's a doozy, bound only by the shaky poles of 'heterogeneity and dispersal.' When an exhibition involves 81 artists who dabble in everything from 'fluid communication structures and systems of exchange' to 'calculated messiness' and radio broadcasts, it deserves more than description."
