My Turn

March 16- May 11, 2012

For Whitney Biennial 2012, this Public Program series invites artists to create programs for the Whitney’s public that are an extension of and informed by their own artistic processes and methods. Taking their contributions to the 2012 Biennial as a point of departure, six Biennial artists explore key aspects of their practice to create distinctive evenings of performance, discussion, demonstration, and engagement.
