Whitney Museum, Griffin Hall

The 2017 Biennial raises urgent questions around race, violence, the ethics of representation, and the limits of empathy. Taking the debate sparked by Dana Schutz’s painting, Open Casket, as a starting point, the Whitney is partnering with Claudia Rankine and the Racial Imaginary Institute to hold this free program. Join artists, scholars, and critics to share perspectives on these issues in relation to the exhibition and our contemporary moment.
