Join us on July 10 on the 5th Floor Gallery for a conversation about Malcom Peacock’s sculptural installation in the 2026 Whitney Biennial.
Art + You welcomes younger adults to trade thoughts on select artworks on view through close looking and dialogue. These gatherings are a meditative and expansive way of experiencing art at the Whitney and meeting new people. In his Five of them were hers and she carved shelters with windows into the backs of their skulls, Malcom Peacock explores endurance and growth in natural systems and interpersonal ecologies. Together, participants will discuss and embody sustained attention and care. This Art + You is happening in conjunction with West Side Fest.
