WhiBi Conversations: Less is More

Thursday, February 18, 2010 - 06:00 AM

It will be easier for individual artist to stand out in this year's Whitney Biennial, because there are only 55 artists in it. It's one of the smallest biennials in Whitney history.

So, is this Biennial a recession-special? Will less, be more? Curator Francesco Bonami, art critic Carolina Miranda and ARTNET's Ben Davis make connections between art and the present economic moment.  Listen to the podcast.
