Join us for a closer look at artistic responses to a rapidly changing media landscape. This thematic tour will examine how media has both reflected and shaped life over the past century. Where We Are: Selections from the Whitney's Collection, 1900–1960 and Programmed: Rules, Codes, and Choreographies in Art, 1965–2018, explore how the expansion of media from the early 20th century to the present have impacted how we understand and communicate meaning itself.
