Blogging The Biennial.
Went to the press preview this afternoon. I'll post something about what I actually thought about it soon. Y'know. It's the Biennial. It's everything it always is. Dig in, whether you like it or not.

HAA, thanks for the preview. Marilyn Minter, wow! Glad she's included. And the Serra is an interesting departure: was there lots of political art? Was there much. . . painting?
Yeah. Marilyn Minter kicked. No pun intended. Her billboards are going up in Chelsea. They'll be up for March.
Anyway. Painting. Remember how in the last Biennial there were more paintings than usual but so many of them were bad? This time there are fewer paintings, but the quality control is a little better. Not a lot better, but a little better.
And yeah. There was a boatload of political art which wasn't a surprise. The worst of it is the Peace Tower. Painful and amateur looking. Like it was built by a group of overachievers from one of the private schools on the UWS. The best is Zoe Strauss's photographs. Also probably the least overtly political, but so much more powerful than all the hysterics.
Ouch, "peace tower" sounds. . . potentially not too good.
Thank you for this sneaky preview, HAA. It will help me to gird for the experience, which is almost always trying. Love that Minter.
Yea, agreed, Minter is the bees dirty knees. Thanks for the appetizer. The biennial feels like an obligation to me. Must try to reprogram my brain so to enjoy it.
Whatever y'all do, don't miss the Zoe Strauss slideshow. My favorite thing in all of the Biennial. Simple as that. Brought it all together and then some.
Oooh. And the Minter billboards are great! I'll be posting some pics on the Creative Time blog soon.
you/v got the most awesome photo sequence from Caligula. How did you do that? I'm jealous. Great, great, great!
