Whitney Biennial, 2010
The seventy-fifth Whitney Biennial, 2010, offers a broad snapshot of contemporary art across media rather than a single theme. The works reflect the era’s mix of anxiety and optimism, with artists exploring intimate gestures, community-building practices, and renewed engagements with modernist abstraction. Paired with Collecting Biennials, an installation drawn from the museum’s collection, the exhibition situates the present within the Whitney’s evolving history.
