James Kalm has been visiting the Whitney Biennial since the late 1970s, and has brought viewers along via the Kalm Report since 2008. In that time, the Biennial has been both hailed and condemned, acclaimed and demeaned. In short, for local artists, it’s the show you love to hate. This, the Museum’s seventy-eighth iteration, and the first in its new building in Manhattan’s Meatpacking district, presents a selection of works by sixty three young, mid-career and master artists. Curated by the Whitney’s Nancy and Fred Poses Associate curator Christopher Y. Lew and Independent curator Mia Locks, this exhibition is billed as the most prestigious survey of contemporary art in America. However impossible it might be to fulfill these institutional goals, your correspondent takes a stroll through this massive show, and tries to give viewers a tantalizing taste of its flavor. Painting, photography, sculpture, and inter-media works are all featured. Viewers will get glimpses of worksby: Dana Schutz, William Pope.L., Jon Kessler, John Riepenhoff, Kamasi Washington, Raúl de Nieves, et.al.
