The 2024 Whitney Biennial, set to open on March 20, will feature 71 artists selected by curators Chrissie Iles and Meg Onli after conducting 200 studio visits across the country. The exhibition aims to reflect the raw and vulnerable state of America in the midst of compounding crises, with a focus on politically charged art that addresses issues such as climate change, the reversal of Roe v. Wade, and laws undermining bodily autonomy.
The Whitney Museum has announced the 69 artists and 2 collectives participating in the 2024 Whitney Biennial, curated by Chrissie Iles and Meg Onli, focusing on the theme "Even Better Than the Real Thing." The exhibition will explore ideas of 'the real' in the context of artificial intelligence, identity, and land stewardship, featuring a diverse array of artists, including film and performance programs. The artist list reflects a shift towards younger and more diverse participants, with a majority not being white and a significant representation of non-binary artists.
