Just like a reality TV show, the premise behind this year's Whitney Biennial aims for high spectacle: What happens when you take three curators and ask them to put on three separate exhibitions at one of the world's most prestigious museums? The world watches on, and we wonder what could possibly go wrong.
This year's Whitney Biennial is three biennials. That's a lot of work to see over the next few months, pointing to how the biennial cannot be just one thing: It is both an exhibition and a process.
As is our annual tradition, I've asked people I know and respect to contribute their single favorite link for the year. No themes. No grand explanations. Just one link, and one sentence describing why they liked it. For the first time ever, this year I received no dupe links. The web is a much larger place than it used to be.
