After Kanders: Critics, Reporters, and Editors Reflect on the 2019 Whitney Tear Gas Biennial
Download MP3This year’s Whitney Biennial is wrapping up but we invited Hyperallergic critics and reporters to reflect on a tumultuous exhibition.
From nine weeks of protests to an exhibition that was more ethnically and racially diverse than previous years, this year’s Whitney Biennial has a lot to unpack.
I asked our associate news editor Jasmine Weber, editor and critic Seph Rodney, and reporter Hakim Bishara to join me to reflect on months of controversy and offer their opinions on the exhibition itself. We discuss favorite works, what may have been accomplished, and duds. You’ll want to hear this.
