Photography was central to Warhol’s philosophy and his obsession with self-representation. He carried a camera with him wherever he went, taking hundreds of thousands of photographs during his career. Warhol purchased his first Polaroid in the mid-1960s, and by the early 1970s, it would become his tool of choice: both the Big Shot model, ideal for close-ups with its fixed lens and bright flash, and the more versatile, portable SX-70. This technology was instrumental to his process—forming the first stages of his commissioned silkscreen portraits and a mode through which he could document compulsively, treating his own life as material.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAndy Warhol Family Album\u0026nbsp;\u003c/em\u003epresents a collection of Polaroids from 1972 to 1973 that captures Warhol’s immediate world of collaborators, celebrities, and friends.

Over the past decade, Mauss has pursued a hybrid mode of working that merges the roles of curator, artist, and scholar. At the Whitney he brings together his own works, alongside historical photographs, sculptures, paintings, drawings, film and video from the Whitney’s holdings and those of other public and private collections—all presented within a layered exhibition design by Mauss that allows for the works to be seen in a new light.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003eCentral to the exhibition is a daily performance by four dancers made in collaboration with Mauss as an interpretative reaction to the artworks and archival materials on display. For \u003cem\u003eTransmissions\u003c/em\u003e, Mauss cast dancers whose training includes ballet, though most have continued to practice in more contemporary forms. Their movements incorporate quotidian gestures and procedures from a dancer’s daily practice as well as a choreographed sequence that invokes ballet as it comes into tension with modern and contemporary techniques.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003eIn the current vogue for contemporary dance in museums, the legacy of ballet remains relatively unexamined. This exhibition will consider the intersections of ballet not only with the visual arts but also with theater, fashion, and new representations of the body. The development of modernist ballet in New York in the decades bookending World War II served as an artistic catalyst, filter, and vibrant, shared vocabulary. European surrealist aesthetics and interdisciplinary experimentation bridged artistic and social worlds. Mauss also explores the overt and coded imaging of desire in art and dance of this time, emphasizing pre-queer histories within an exhibition that itself forges new modes of attention and engagement with history in the present.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003eThis exhibition is organized by Scott Rothkopf, Deputy Director for Programs and Nancy and Steve Crown Family Chief Curator, and Elisabeth Sussman, Curator and Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography, with Greta Hartenstein, senior curatorial assistant, and Allie Tepper, curatorial project assistant.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerous support for \u003cem\u003eNick Mauss: Transmissions\u003c/em\u003e is provided by Deutsche Bank and the Performance Committee of the Whitney Museum of American Art.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn-kind support is provided by The Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University.\u003c/p\u003e","primary_media_id":36684,"override_media_id":36927,"sign_media_id":null,"feature_id":null,"artwork_series_id":null,"installation_series_id":2311,"perspective_series_id":null,"press_highlights":"\u003cp\u003e“‘Transmissions’ is a work of creative imagination as much as revelation.

While Biennials are always affected by the cultural, political, and social moment, this exhibition “simply titled \u003cem\u003e2010\u003c/em\u003e” embodies a cross section of contemporary art production rather than a specific theme. To underscore the idea of time as an element of the Biennial and to demonstrate the influence of the past on \u003cem\u003e2010\u003c/em\u003e, familiar and less well-known artists from previous exhibitions are brought together in \u003ca href=\"/exhibitions/CollectingBiennials\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollecting Biennials\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/a\u003e, an accompanying installation drawn from the Museum’s collection on view on the fifth floor. Balancing different media ranging from painting and sculpture to video, photography, performance, and installation,\u003cem\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e2010\u003c/em\u003e also serves as a two-way telescope through which the Whitney’s past and future can be observed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artists selected for this year’s exhibition provide diverse responses to the anxiety and optimism characteristic of this moment. At first glance, much of the work in \u003cem\u003e2010\u003c/em\u003e can appear intensely personal and concerned with simple gestures and everyday actions, which might seem at odds with a sense of community and social responsibility. More accurately, however, these artists can be seen as constructing models that can serve as the foundations of lasting communities and sustained critique. Many of the artists in \u003cem\u003e2010\u003c/em\u003e have created spaces for performances and potential encounters between themselves and individuals from different communities. These artists attempt to build collectivity in a new historical moment. Still other artists in\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003e2010\u003c/em\u003e look back to the history of modernism, in particular abstraction, as one way to forge a personal, experimental language while also rejuvenating the social potential of abstraction. Many of the images of the body presented in this exhibition are shaped by physical, spiritual, or social violence and bear the scars of war, discrimination, and hatred. These intimate perspectives of the body draw attention to larger social and political issues and are not cynical or hopeless but a form of regeneration, providing individual dignity and a chance to begin anew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fifty-five artists included in \u003cem\u003e2010\u003c/em\u003e are representative of a much larger and broader world where many more artists are operating and active, each of them part of a rich and lively system from which the Biennial as an exhibition draws its inspiration. This Biennial, like the many that have preceded it, is also directly or indirectly shaped by the Whitney’s distinctive Marcel Breuer building, the Museum’s collection, and the legacy of past Biennial exhibitions, curators, and artists.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSponsored in part by\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.db.com/usa/\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://whitneymedia.org/assets/image/819737/db_day_larger.png\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMajor support is provided by\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.sothebys.com/\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://whitneymedia.org/assets/image/818128/official_logo_sothebys_forweb.jpg\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFashion sponsor\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.tommyhilfiger.com/\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://whitneymedia.org/assets/image/819738/tommy_day.png\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerous support is provided by Laura and Casey Wasserman, Donald R.

The America that I now know is still a place of light, a place of opportunities, of risks, of justice, of racism, of injustice, of hunger and excess, of pleasure and growth. Democracy is a constant job, a collective dedication.” In that spirit, this presentation invites viewers to explore the distinct visions of “America” put forth by artists as they took stock of the pressing ideas of their time and imagined new possibilities.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Untitled” (America)\u003c/em\u003e is organized by Kim Conaty, Nancy and Steve Crown Family Chief Curator, with Antonia Pocock, Curatorial Assistant.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003eThis presentation of the Whitney’s collection is dedicated to the memory of Leonard A.

Drawn from the Whitney’s collection, the exhibition features works from the 1960s to the present and is organized according to distinct thematic sections. Some of these coalesce around material and conceptual affinities: sculptural assemblages formed from locally sourced objects, ecofeminist approaches to land art, and the legacies of documentary landscape photography. Others are tied to specific geographies, such as the frenzied cityscape of modern New York or the experimental filmmaking scene of 1970s Los Angeles. Still others show how artists invent fantastic new worlds where humans, animals, and the land become one. Whether depicting the effects of industrialization on the environment, grappling with the impact of geopolitical borders, or proposing imagined spaces as a way of destabilizing the concept of a “natural” world, the works gathered here bring ideas of land and place into focus, foregrounding how we shape and are shaped by the spaces around us.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eShifting Landscapes\u003c/em\u003e is organized by Jennie Goldstein, Jennifer Rubio Associate Curator of the Collection; Marcela Guerrero, DeMartini Family Curator; Roxanne Smith, Senior Curatorial Assistant; with Angelica Arbelaez, Rubio Butterfield Family Fellow; with thanks to Araceli Bremauntz-Enriquez and J.

The remaining three studies rely on gravitational and spring forces to create systems that continually aim for stability, resulting in continuous motion. By drawing a parallel between the brushstroke in painting and the algorithm in software art, Napier highlights an essential characteristic of the digital medium: the algorithm as a set of instructions that describes and at the same time is a record of potential actions.

Catanese’s Gate Page provides a portal into his practice of appropriating technology, such as the Gameboy, to rethink its use and create hybrid forms outside the device’s aesthetic and cultural baggage.\u003c/p\u003e","primary_media_id":56592,"override_media_id":null,"sign_media_id":null,"feature_id":null,"artwork_series_id":null,"installation_series_id":null,"perspective_series_id":null,"press_highlights":"","audio_description":"","videos_description":"","created_at":"2023-09-27T11:05:00.516-04:00","updated_at":"2026-04-13T15:48:30.126-04:00","block_editor":{"data":{"id":"3741","type":"block_editor","attributes":{"id":3741,"exhibition_id":1117,"page_id":null,"created_at":"2025-06-16T12:38:21.448-04:00","updated_at":"2025-06-16T12:38:21.448-04:00","regions":[{"data":{"id":"24167","type":"region","attributes":{"id":24167,"position":1,"columns":12,"block_editor_id":3741,"created_at":"2026-04-13T15:48:06.389-04:00","updated_at":"2026-04-13T15:48:30.077-04:00","region_components":[{"data":{"id":"44443","type":"region_component","attributes":{"id":44443,"component_id":15946,"component_type":"TextComponent","position":1,"region_id":24167,"created_at":"2026-04-13T15:48:06.408-04:00","updated_at":"2026-04-13T15:48:30.104-04:00","component":{"data":{"id":"15946","type":"component","attributes":{"id":15946,"exhibition_id":1117,"text":"\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Catanese\u003c/strong\u003e (b. 1975; Huntington, New York) works in installation, performance, sound, video, and print, among other mediums.

With a single swipe, companies can extract information, often without the cardholder’s knowledge or consent, to profile customers under the guise of security or age verification. During the month of June 2004, the artists invited visitors to the Gate Page to submit slogans for stickers. Participants could then download, print, and affix the stickers to the barcode of their license or credit card’s magnetic stripes to temporarily disable them, thus blocking their data’s transfer into commercial databases. The \u003cem\u003eSwipe\u003c/em\u003e project drew attention to data collection and surveillance practices in the United States, highlighting how databases function as tools of organization and instruments of power in the digital age.\u003c/p\u003e","primary_media_id":56579,"override_media_id":null,"sign_media_id":null,"feature_id":null,"artwork_series_id":null,"installation_series_id":null,"perspective_series_id":null,"press_highlights":"","audio_description":"","videos_description":"","created_at":"2023-09-26T16:53:33.376-04:00","updated_at":"2026-04-13T15:43:01.730-04:00","block_editor":{"data":{"id":"3739","type":"block_editor","attributes":{"id":3739,"exhibition_id":1116,"page_id":null,"created_at":"2025-06-16T12:38:21.348-04:00","updated_at":"2025-06-16T12:38:21.348-04:00","regions":[{"data":{"id":"24166","type":"region","attributes":{"id":24166,"position":1,"columns":12,"block_editor_id":3739,"created_at":"2026-04-13T15:41:04.907-04:00","updated_at":"2026-04-13T15:43:01.531-04:00","region_components":[{"data":{"id":"44442","type":"region_component","attributes":{"id":44442,"component_id":15945,"component_type":"TextComponent","position":1,"region_id":24166,"created_at":"2026-04-13T15:41:04.927-04:00","updated_at":"2026-04-13T15:43:01.610-04:00","component":{"data":{"id":"15945","type":"component","attributes":{"id":15945,"exhibition_id":1116,"text":"\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003eThe artist collaborative \u003cstrong\u003ePreemptive Media\u003c/strong\u003e (active 2002–6) produced three major projects, \u003cem\u003eSwipe\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eZapped!\u003c/em\u003e (2006), and \u003cem\u003eAIR\u003c/em\u003e (2006–8).
