Floor 3

Artworks on view at the Museum right now raise issues of the relationship of the form of the art object to both its content and context, historically and today. After seeing exhibitions on view, explore the ideas raised further by joining a Whitney Museum Teaching Fellow for an open discussion about the politics and ethics of representation. As a platform for art that engages with pressing social issues, the Whitney Museum is committed to fostering dialogue and debate in these weekly sessions.

Free with Museum admission.
