The Museum's signature survey of contemporary American art, the show will run through May 26, 2002. Most of the Museum will be taken 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. "The 2002 Biennial pays tribute to the spirit and variety of American artistic practice throughout the country," said Lawrence Rinder, the chief curator of the exhibition. "Artists are exploring a wide range of media and new technologies that are giving them previously unimagined freedoms. At the same time there is a resurgent interest in traditional media and visceral, do-it-yourself practices. Not restricted by a single theme, the Biennial will expose multiple, sometimes conflicting currents, as well as extraordinary works that fall outside of any conventional aesthetic definition." For the second time, The Bucksbaum Award, the largest award in the world given to support the work of a living artist, will be presented to one of those included in the exhibition. At the last Biennial, it was conferred on Paul Pfeiffer, whose highly anticipated new video works go on view at the Whitney in mid-December. Endowed through the beneficence of trustee Melva Bucksbaum and her family, The Bucksbaum Award is given by the Whitney every two years to an artist in the Biennial. It includes a grant of $100,000, a two-year artist-in-residency at the Museum, and an exhibition in the Whitney's Contemporary Series. The 2002 Bucksbaum Award jury is composed of: Annie Philbin, Director, UCLA Hammer Museum; Olukemi Ilesanmi, Curatorial Assistant, Visual Arts Department, Walker Art Center; Linda Norden, the Barbara Lee Associate Curator of Contemporary Art, Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University; Maxwell L. Anderson, Director of the Whitney; and Lawrence Rinder, Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Curator of Contemporary Art at the Whitney.
