Inside the Whitney Biennial

This five-week course offers an in-depth exploration of Whitney Biennial 2012. By focusing on one floor of the Biennial each week, detailed attention will be given to the artists, mediums, and themes that emerge within the Biennial. Select Biennial artists and the curators will also visit the course to discuss their work.
