2014 Whitney Biennial / New York

November 15, 2013

103 participants have been selected for the 2014 Whitney Biennial, which will take place from March 7 to May 25.

It will be the last Biennial in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s building at 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street. In the spring of 2015, the museum will move downtown.

The 2014 Biennial will feature a new structure, with three curators from outside the museum: Stuart Comer (formerly Curator: Film at Tate Modern, London, now Chief Curator of Media and Performance Art at MoMA); Anthony Elms, (Associate Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia); and Michelle Grabner (Professor in the Painting and Drawing Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, teaches at Yale, is an artist herself, and oversees two alternative art spaces in the Midwest).

Each curator will oversee a floor of the exhibition, accompanied by the advise of Whitney curators Elisabeth Sussman and Jay Sanders.

Donna De Salvo, Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Programs at the Whitney, stated: “The 2014 Biennial brings together the findings of three curators with very distinct points of view. There is little overlap in the artists they have selected and yet there is common ground. This can be seen in their choice of artists working in interdisciplinary ways, artists working collectively, and artists from a variety of generations. Together, the 103 participants offer one of the broadest and most diverse takes on art in the United States that the Whitney has offered in many years.”
