The Whitney Museum of American Art will present the work of 113 artists
and collaborative teams in the 2002 Biennial Exhibition, the largest
Biennial since 1981, opening March 7, 2002. The Museum's signature
survey of contemporary American art, the show will run through May 26,
2002. Most of the Museum will be take over by the Biennial: it will
fill the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors, as well as the Museum's Sculpture
Court, stairwell, main elevator, and Lobby Gallery, which will
be transformed into a sound installation room. For the first time, in
conjunction with the Public Art Fund, several Biennial pieces will be
presented in Central Park.

The chief curator of the 2002 Biennial is Lawrence Rinder, the
Whitney's Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Curator of Contemporary Art, who
developed the exhibition in collaboration with three of his Whitney
colleagues: Chrissie Iles, curator of film and video, chose works to be
shown in the Museum's Kaufman Astoria Studios Film and Video Gallery;
Internet-based art works were selected by Christiane Paul, adjunct
curator of new media arts; and performance and sound art by Debra
Singer associate curator of contemporary art.

The curators traveled to 43 towns and cities in 27 states and to Puerto
Rico to view works; artists born in 23 countries, working in 20 states
and Puerto Rico, and ranging in age from 24 to 71, will be included in
the show.
