Whitney Biennial 2010 April 30, 2010

The Whitney's signature panoramic survey of the latest in American art is the 73rd in the series of Annuals and Biennials inaugurated by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1932. The 2006 Whitney Biennial will examine contemporary artmaking in America at a moment of profound global change. The exhibition, titled Day for Night after Francois Truffaut's 1973 film, conjures a mood of dark intensity, shifting between beauty and degradation, doubt and conformity, the seductive and the strange.
