whitney’s wicked problem

23 July 201913 August 2019 questionsandart

The Whitney Biennial’s latest controversy on their rap sheet is a particularly bad one. This time, the curatorial intention is not too experimental or the content too political. You know, the good kind of controversies. This is not so much the … Continue reading whitney’s wicked problem

abandoning the bandwagon?

8 June 201915 July 2019 questionsandart

 a sinister smile

4 December 201827 November 2018 questionsandart
