	MPR: Minnesotans make a mark at New York's Whitney Biennial
		Angela Strassheim was invited to be in the 2006 Whitney Biennial.
		Photographer Angela Strassheim was at the opening of this year's Whitney Biennial, in part to enjoy her moment in the spotlight, and in part to make sure that her photos were properly hung and lit.
		But both curators and past Whitney artists say the important thing for Strassheim, and all this year's chosen artists, is to take advantage of this moment, when the spotlight of the Whitney Biennial and the national arts press is on them.

	Whitney 2004 Biennial Show
		The Biennial shows are famous (or infamous depending on your viewpoint) for mixing postmodernist inspired radical politics with sexual outrageousness.
		The Whitney's niche is to come up with something shocking and new, while the Guggenheim, its neighbor 15 blocks north, often seems happy to simply display the same commodities that are on sale in various boutiques, from BMW motorcycles to Armani suits.
		The MOMA was the godchild of the Rockefeller family, while the Whitney was launched directly by the granddaughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Gertrude Whitney Vanderbilt, a would-be artist who started the original museum in 1931 after divorcing her playboy husband Harry Payne Whitney.

	Whitney Biennial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Whitney Biennial March 2002 is a display of forced, passionless, well crafted one-line jokes and political platitudes.
		The biennial offers evidence that museums are moving toward a state of irrelevance as far as the contemporary-art world is concerned, showing work that is either unimaginative or ill-suited for a museum setting.
		The 2002 biennial coincides with other signs of a growing gulf between the two: the Guggenheim's postponement of a Matthew Barney show and its last-minute cancellation of a Douglas Gordon survey, and the Whitney's cancellation of an Eva Hesse retrospective, all, the museums say, for lack of funds.

		The notion of the salon as a museum of Modernism is being transported to the Whitney in the form of a display case presenting various elements of the Spring Street salon, in the manner of a 16th-century curiosity cabinet.
		The Biennial selection is intended to give an impression of the variety of forms that net art can take and the multiple themes that have emerged over the years, including data visualization and mapping, database aesthetics, gaming paradigms, networked communities, agent technology, and nomadic devices.
		Marina Rosenfeld's new sound installation for the Biennial is composed from recorded traces of live performances by her sheer frost orchestra project, a group of women who make music with nail polish bottles while kneeling before their floor-bound stringed instruments.

	A barometer of the American cultural zeitgeist: the Whitney Biennial 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Whitney biennial has often seemed fashionable rather than discerning in its choices and overblown (due to the globalization of the art world, it is no longer even definably “American,” although the latter is by no means a negative).
		Rather, the recognition of its presence in the 2006 biennial is part of a changed political situation, one in which the art world is less able to exclude or marginalize these powerful sentiments.
		On view at the Whitney Biennial, his Stop Bush (2004) is a large lithocrayon drawing of the iconic image of the hooded prisoner from Abu Ghraib.

	Notes on the 1997 Whitney Museum Biennial
		The 1997 Biennial at the Whitney Museum featured what was probably the death knell for installation art, sociological photography, and third rate theatrical tricks designed to entertain and titillate while intimidating the audience.
		Perhaps this years Teflon Biennial was the worst of a bad lot, or perhaps the last one was or the one four years ago....Something ought to be done already to reclaim our artworld because the Salon has lost its mind.
		The exhibition should be renamed The Whitney Biennial of American video and installation photography that once lived in the U.S. Inclusions ranged from pathetic, rehashed Alex Katz, to sixth generation abstraction, second rate sociology, and bad pop art.

		At the same time, a topical show like this biennial cannot be simultaneously a signature survey, and the decision to turn "Day for Night" into a thematic exhibition was fortunate given that the concept of the Biennial as national survey has outlived itself.
		For me the biennial responded to "new media", it just didn't have the technology we assume is required to exhibit work in that genre, if it even is a genre at this point.
		What the biennial seemed to promise was something like a pastry with a thick creamy filling surrounded by a thin crust of pastry on the outside and in some ways I think they accomplished this.

	1995 Biennial - art exhibit, Whitney Museum of American Art ArtForum - Find Articles
		Long before Klaus Kertess was announced as curator of the 1995 Whitney Biennial, the handwriting was on the wall: next time around, it would be a painting show.
		His appointment confirmed that instead of a multiculti blitzkrieg we would be presented with a show of "sensibility." The barrage of advance press reported on the studios Kertess visited, what he liked and what he didn't, and announced time and again his foggy organizing principle: the central role of metaphor in art.
		Aside from the usual gripes attendant to the event that we all love to hate, the general sense on the street was that the exhibition amounted to a predictable lull after the pre-event press storm.

		It's one of many examples of how this show that claims to be about resistance (doesn't the Biennial site's splash screen say that together we can defeat Bush???) is actually showcasing variations on the powerlessness motif.

		More than ten years later, what continues to strike me about this particular Biennial is its triumphant introduction of a generation of artists who had never shown together before and collectively demanded attention, as well as a rebalancing of critical discourse.
		This Biennial was the first one organized during the administration of director David Ross, well known for championing cutting-edge art.
